    I don't wear PJ's, OH hates it when aunt flo comes as I wear underwear, and he doesn't like not being able to have skin to skin contant (not TMI is it?)

    Also, aunt flo is due and I'm not happy, instead of losing weight, I've put it on. Just a vicious cycle right now (I put it on, I feel worse, I feel worse I eat more, I eat more I get bigger...and so the cycle continues)
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    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.

    I agree with you Pooky. I got a letter yesterday saying I was getting ESA and 64 a week so they have paid me 100 pounds - that's starting from the [STRIKE]5th[/STRIKE][STRIKE] I mean 6th [/STRIKE] I mean 12th [STRIKE]ending on the 19th ( that's when my sick note 'apparently ended despite it clearly beign 4 weeks from the begining of Sep [/STRIKE] hec I don't have a clue what or why they've paid me.
    Oh and :eek::eek::eek: Towends have been on the phone - house sale has fallen through - great except it means loads of people traisping through - I'm hardly in a state for entertaining right now, oh and we might be able to stay on a rolling contract type thing - my head hurts.
    No more today please.

    Sorry but they do - its because they cling to your biggest bits which on me is my thighs and my waist gets lost in the fabric :eek:

    Give me one of these anyday:

    Hey just thought I'd pop in and say hello.

    I'm new to the boards but think the debt-free forum is the place for me. I'm clearing 5K from a CC and after that it's just the student loan to go which I intend to pay back slowly :)
