If the girls want to go to Oz, then I`m fine with that (now), but I do think that they should finish their courses first. Ex agrees with that. When I was drinking, she arranged for the girls to be looked after by her friend if anything happened to her. We never got round to changing that. The twins will be 18 in June so they could make their own decisions anyway. Youngest (16 next month ) slightly more difficult. She was going for A levels and uni, but could probably do her 6th form over there. I expected them all to leave before long as they miss London and it`s pretty dead out here for teenagers, but daughter gave me the impression last night that they were virtually packing their bags. Not as bad as that.

Suffolk what a shock for you and well done not turning back to the bottle, i think you must have come along way. I truly hope everything turns out alright for you, when they get to a certain stage our children start making their own choices. Its not always easy to understand but you have to go along with it dont you??? Take carex

I lost 5 stone last year, put a stone and a half back on, now on the way down again. Enjoying the diet this time round, but then again, you always knew I was strange :rolleyes: Good luck with the gym, hope you enjoy it I'm going to get back in to swimming soon, can't do it just at the moment, but soon, so I'm sticking with lots of walking. Good for the mind too - lots of time to think

Lewt - no I didn`t go to a meet yesterday, but I`ve been today. As it`s a meeting I don`t go to often, I was asked to give my story. Always makes me nervous that does.

Why does it make you nervous you have done so well, or is coz you dont like public speaking:) I hate having to stand up and do meetings:(
