    MeanMarie, I hope little Thunder's paw is alright. Poor wee thing, awwwww....

    I spent a while this morning checking out Weight Watchers and Slimming World on the internet, and think I should join Slimming World. I'm sick of carrying about all this surplus. However I made the classic mistake of going to the supermarket without having eaten first. I came home with some unplanned purchases (yes I had a list but might as well have had a chocolate teapot!). Things which dropped into my trolley included a packet of lemon shortcake biscuits, six Muller rice pots, four snowballs (like two buns sandwiched together with jam then rolled in sugar - very slimming indeed:rolleyes:). I did get "good" stuff for dinners, lunches and breakfasts, but think I should delay the slimming club for a while....

    It's still a glorious sunny day here, we are spoilt at the moment, but I understand the temperature is due to drop tomorrow. I don't give a monkey's as that's the first day of my new job. I am so glad I didn't start it on Monday as they requested or I'd have kicked myself for missing two beautiful days stuck in an office.

    I could sleep for a week right now, but must persevere and get some more housey stuff done. The floors still aren't scrubbed, the mound of ironing isn't done, and there's another wash to put on.

    Bye for now.

    Snowy

    aww snowy Im so pleased to hear you have a new job. I hope this is the dream one for you;) Have you looked at the Paul Mckenna system for weightloss? Ive lost a stone on that this year and you can have snowballs and shortcakes if you want them:j

    So I was just passing the OS board on the way to the pub and thought Id pop in and say hello :hello: :hello: hope you are all well or as well as can't moan (as my gran used to say:D) I was hoping one of you may have cooked up a hot bowl of chicken soup for tea that I could share with you:D I have rotten cold (could be wine flu I suppose:eek::beer:) anyways life has had to go on and this morning I had to deliver a presentation at 7am to a local breakfast club and as such was up at 5 (yeah I know its nowt new so some of you but for me there is clearly only one 5 in the day:D) so right now I feel grim and in need of some comfort food :(

    Good to catch up with you all :)

    :grouphug:Beemuzed :grouphug: Know what you mean, my Mum lost a son between me and my DB, and she never could forget either even though he only lived a day, come to that I wasn't even here, and I still remember his birthday.

    D.onnygal - I know what you mean. Our DS was a few days short of his 16th birthday and died as a result of a fall in which he broke his neck. You wouldn't believe how the repercussions continue to affect us, and DS2, right to this day. One moment in time...lives changed for ever
