    Have only just caught up, hope everything went ok today.

    It probably reinforces the belief that your health is so important. I lost a friend to breast cancer when she was 31 but have not lost anyone of my generation, a few near misses though, and it does bring it home to you.

    Take care

    Thanks everyone for your kind wishes the day went as well as it could very sad though and still a bit hard to take in for all concerned. Just spoken to my sister and she seems OK.

    Was praying for better news for Taxi but she is one strong lady with a good family and that will get her through this.

    It does reinforce the thinking about balance that has been occuring in several threads - I know my attitude is changing

    Love to all my friends and thanks for your support.

    Hi DT. Hope you and your sister are okay. Still in shock, of course - and nothing makes it any better, you just get used to it .... I'll be thinking of you both

    EDIT - had to come back, getting used to it isn't quite right, my sister still thinks now "ooh, I must tell OH that " .... agonising. I don't quite know how to phrase it. Maybe something my sister said about her predicament - simply that she doesn't cry herself to sleep as often as she did in the first months..... sorry.

    Glad it went as well as it could ..I think it's so hard losing someone so suddenly.
  • Hi DT,

    I've just been catching up on you thread as I haven't been on here fore a while. Sorry to hear about your news, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family xxx

    I have been thinking along the same lines about balance... my life seems to have got too focused on money and I know that I need to address that. Although if I had been focusing on money much at all 5 years ago I wouldn't be in this mess now!

    Fab news about the weight loss. I did 7lbs this week too so there must be something in the water (literally, as I have been drinking gallons of the stuff!!!). Bring me to 1st 3lbs of in total which I'm happy with, although I do wish I had started this before so I could enjoy the summer being thin. Still I do have a holiday booked at 'Chez DT' in Lanzarote to aim for in Feb :):):)

    Take care of yourself, Ging x

    Thanks for the thoughts and prayers much appreciated.

    7lb well done and over a stone gone thats a good feeling :j:j

    I am drowning in water too :eek: just finishing my last litre bottle then off to bed.

    We will be thin next summer in fact I intend to be thin by Christmas - this is the year :). Diet is going well much easier than I thought except for running out of time to eat and drink all I am supposed to hence why I am up late :rotfl:

    DTxx
