    Thanks snags, it was only £3 but I had to buy it just because :rotfl: I told Mum I have to try on a dress but she wasnt impressed so I guess I will wait untill the big 100lbs. Shopping with my big sis Wednesday so hoping to get into new look and next to see what size I am in 'proper' stores :T

    Pooky, I did laugh at your FB status about wheelchair driving and your OH's reply. So brave to find humour in the situation. I was really quite moved.


    Jacs, you have my email address... ;)
    :rolleyes:ark at her she wants a sneek preview ;)

    ah bless ya pooky must be really difficult, i don't know what to say but i do worry about pushing people in wheelchairs and sliding people up beds and them disapearing off the bed or something cause i can be a bit 'over keen':D
    just don't do what a friend of mine did and leave her elderly mother outside a shop while she went in the next one, as she wasn't used to caring for her, thankfully her mother saw the funny side but thank goodness she only went in the shop next door.

    Thanks for your good wishes Pap.

    You're doing so well babes. I may have said this before, but I really hope you'll think about becoming a CDC. I still lurk on the CD thread, and you just give the best support and advice :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I agree someone that has been there and done it will do more good and be listened too. you have not only done well for yourself personally pap you have given good advice to others including me and therefore you should think about 'spreading the word' :T

    Thanks Jac, the thing is I have been on this 22 weeks now, but have dropped 3 sizes in the last 4/5 weeks :eek: I obviously was holding on to most of the bulk still :rotfl: Ahh thats a sore point. Mum doesnt like the fact that I am now smaller than her. Today she wasnt happy I brought size 14 and she certainly doesn't want to see me in a dress (my dream). She keeps saying that I am too skinny etc and I am am in smaller cloths than her. The fact that she is 30yrs+ older than me doesnt matter :confused: Anyways rant over :rotfl:

    Spud, I want to I really do, I said at the beginning that I would love to but then I thought maybe not now I do 100%. Even if my current CDC wont support me I will just go through CD HQ. I love it so much and i need to go onto the next step. Plus it will help me money wise, I know not much but enough to stop me worrying so much. I hope my Mum will let me run it from her home though :confused: Anyways its just another hurdle....

    You still aiming to do the half marathon next year?

    Jacs - lol @ the "over keen" bit....I must admit I did find myself counting the stairs as we came down this morning.....he did point out that he wasn't 2 and could count....:D
