Hi everyone :hello:

Welcome my friends to Day 26 and the very last week of our May Better Me Challenge.

Votes can be now cast for who you want to be the May AFBMC Winner. Oh I love competitions only thing is I can't win one. Cue The Lovely Esther here Still I have my prize ready, (well nearly ready ). Budgie likes to fiddle you know that is in the nicest possible way. A tweek here and a tweek there :rotfl:Budgie titters to herself :rotfl:Sorry but day off today and feeling silly Still I have been to the gym as Fay is leading the way with the May weight loss. I am sadly lagging behind ..................

Pricey well done on 20 af days and only 4 more to target now :T Thankyou for your kind words and I remember AS levels :eek: My Ds bless him chose hard ones ie: maths, physics, It and history. He got his points for uni but he did also get very down with the workload. I daily gave the encouragement talk that they are a means to an end and once he gets to uni he will have a fantastic time, doing a subject he loves with people who have the same interests etc. We got there in the end Sad thing is one of his friends left after doing a whole year of As levels on the first day of the Maths exam, he just couldn't do it anymore. It is so stressful for them and the only good thing for my Ds that as he had such a big workload at A level at least he was used to studying which helped him at uni. It is hard though and I hope their exams go well, I am sure they will :T Lots of love and take care. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear Lurky well done on a: AFBHM :T you also need another 4 to target and Budgie is watching :eek: but of course you can do it my friend Failure is not an option :eek: Budgie says in her very sweet melodic voice. :rotfl:Lots of love matey to you, the Lovely Esther and family. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fay you are doing so wonderfully well and re: the weight loss absolutely fantastic :T (Budgie is a little envious) but Budgie will just have to try harder. We are now into the very last week of my AFMBMC and you are one of my front runners at the moment. So remember: CONSTANT VIGILENCE as we march onto the finish line. :T Well done sweetheart and lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Oh and thanks for just being you :A

Miss Piggy how lovely to hear from you and re: the weight thingy, well you don't have to tell me sweetheart I know exactly what you mean. But Budgie has dug out her points calculator and ww scales today. I mean business :eek: I'm fighting this retched fat so it had better watch out :eek: Sorry about that went off on a tangent there Now onto voting, of course you have a vote to cast if you remember Budgie has saved your place and you are still on my list So let me know when you are ready, either post on here or pm me whichever you prefer. Hugs to you and little piglet. Keep posting we miss you when you are not around. Hugs :A xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry a bit self absorbed at the moment - learning to 'critically review' and to contextualize - what a load of academic twaddle

40somethingmum

I drank too much last night and woke up with a banging headache just before the little man threw up all over is bed :eek:
