    Hi everyone :hello:

    I have just popped in very quickly to say: Hi to everyone and lots of love. I am just so tired so I am not going to stay up tonight.

    Hugs to everyone and I shall catch you all later in the week, probably Friday as its meditation tomorrow evening and then my Thursday night which you know is always so late.

    So Dear 40sm I am on The Full Monty so far and I will be tomorrow and Thursday night too. Sorry you are feeling stressed and tired. Take care and Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Btw Jo I had a dream about you which involved a potato peeler and a fluffy ladybird. (I know I need to rest :eek:) Hope you are ok? Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Fay hugs to you too. ((())) xxxxxxxxxxxx

    Pricey hugs and not long now until the end of the exams. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Gc thanks and you are a star :cool: Thankyou everyone for your kind wishes, they are much appreciated and you are all lovely. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Oh and Mp I have bought my son a T shirt, it reads:
    Rainbows in Black and White, Its Grim up North. Very apt I think? Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Welcome to Big Lass and good luck, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    God bless
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Well done Fay:T it's a great feeling; I did the same yesterday - even the shop assistant was shocked:eek:

    8AFD for me pls 40SM.

    Am very tired tonight, I was so wound up after lastnight's altercation with the neighbour over kids :mad::mad: I didnt get to bed till 1.20am and didnt sleep for a while - however, I didnt drink! Early night for me too.

    Well done everyone for resisting temptation!

    Orchid, I was watching tv (telly, Lurky!), "Make my body younger", scary stuff! Anyway, I thought aaarrrggghh I haven't done my wii yet! I only want to be completely honest in this thread so I got myself up and on that balance ball. I only did about 15 mins but that's 15 mins more than I would have done. More tomorrow! Also, as an added bonus I found out I've put on a pound since the last time. :eek: Anyway, I'm glad we've got our deal otherwise I would never have got off the sofa.

    Loving the phrase constant vigilance. It's so true! Careful guys!
