    Just sending some good vibes your way Taxi - ride to the country sounds lovely and there are some beautiful parts nearby - which direction do you travel - up towards Morcambe and lakes or towards this neck of the woods.

    Don't know where you're neck of the woods is but I spend a lot of time around the garstang area and trough of bowland and beacon fell and at the farm shops.They are only 20 mins from here and it's surprising the amount of lountryside that is on my doorstep and how diverse the farms are...there are two very good farms that make their own ice cream....one with a play barn and animals for the kids..both have very good cafes and one has it's own chocolatier and own butchers with meat to die for from gloucestershire old spot pigs,aberdeen angus beef and all sorts of good breeds...I want to live in a big house with land in the country if I win the lottery...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I just love the slower pace of life and that I can support local businesses and know that my meat is fresh and exactly where it has come from.

    Hey Taxi, glad the archery is going well, and the trips out sound very relaxing.

    You are bound to be getting anxious, well done on not having a cig and dont worry about your diet right now, deal with one thing at a time. Do you have anything planned for the weekend? xxx

    No nothing at all planned.
    I wish I didn't feel anxious but I just can't help myself...it's the not knowing that's the hardest.

    Your doing brilliantly, its going to be worrying the nearer the appointment gets, but the gd thing is you haven't started the smoking.

    Have you got DH or dd to come with you, for moral support. xx

    I'm glad he is - he won't be terribly out of place either, there were lots of partners around when I've been. Taxi, you're bound to be nervous, like everyone says - what I'd say is, do something - you can't think straight, of course, so make it something physical, go for a walk, something. Do that breathing where your outbreath is longer than your inbreath, it really does help.

    I do feel for you, I really do.

    Hi Taxi,

    Just popping in to see how you are and to let you know that I am thinking of you.:A

    Well done on not smoking . Under the circumstances that is a massive achievement and you should be really proud of yourself.

    I wish I could take away your worry & anxiety ..... I can only imagine what you are going through at the moment . The weather is lovely here today, hopefully it is in Blackpool, so take yourself out for a nice long walk. I always find that watching a good DVD helps me lose myself for a little while so go out and treat yourself and watch later.


    I will pop in to see you later, sweetie.


    (((((Hugs)))


    Love

    40SMXX
