    Hiya Linda :D

    erm, it was ok. Had a lovely afternoon in the park having a hot choccie and a slice of cheesecake with a friend and her 2 sons before they leave the area tomorrow........oooh, tomorrow! :( We had a takeaway, which OH begrudgingly went to get and I had a bottle of rose (again, I 'sent' him to make him do something!) and he hadn't got me anything and basically said did I want a wii and a wii fit. I think he gulped a bit when I finally said yes - I think he thought I'd carry on with the 'it's far too expensive' line (which it is a lot of money), but I gave in and it can be picked up from Tesco from tomorrow night :D

    Good!

    Time he did something - and you can hardly say "it's the thought that counts..."

    How's the lump Linda? less painful I hope.

    Hi Z.

    It does feel to be getting smaller thanks, although I had to stop taking the erythromycin because it was giving me horrendous stomach pain and cramps.
    I almost threw up on myself in the car on the way home yesterday, I really had to use all my strength and will to hold it back, I was in traffic, couldn't pull over anywhere.
    Going to do a run tomorrow! :T

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
