Hi all, Just back from work! Was very good DFW & didnt go to M&S for retail therapy as planned (being honest there was a traffic jam!!) but may go tomorrow. Some of my work shirts are ridiculosly loose so need replacing...Had a not great DFW day - brought lunch, went to chiropractor & paid him £26 in £1 coins!! Major clicks there & need to go again...Diet wise NOt a good day (crisps, custard clice came into it!!) but will try & be better! Dont worry about cheesy puffs Mol, I had a packet of wotsits for brekkie!! Well DONE Eltan!! Thats fab; keep it up! I do sometimes think that just eating better is the best thing rather than a specific diet! How you all done today? SS PUT THE QUALITY STREET DOWN!!!! Hope you doing Ok without OH & getting some chill time?Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1! Even in the darkest moments, love and hope are always possible.0

Yummy, just had a lovely tea with sundried tomato cous cous with spring onions, yellow pepper and cherry toms with cut up cooked chicken - marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, basil leaves, lazy chilli, lazy garlic, ground ginger and dried herbs - mmmmmmmmm.
I'm still hungry though so trying to drink some water to see if that helps. I might have a nectarine later. Maybe a G&T too!
Earlier today I had a bagel with flora light (surprise, surprise!), 3 oatcakes with flora light and pate, sh*tloads of strawberries, bran flakes with s/skim milk, a banana and a low fat flavoured yoghurt.
Oh yeah, and another 6 Quality Street - oops.
How are all the other DFW Weeblers getting on?

Was having a lovely day...car passed MOT (£60 left for fun money!!) so went to town to try & get something for bros wedding in sept but too weeblish to find anything. Has a lovely hari cut (found a good hairdresser AT LAST!!) & on my way home when youngish bloke just pulled out of junction....couldnt avoid hitting him so did & now poor car (whose birthday it is tomorrow
) has whole right wing smashed, all lights & bumper stuffed...now in car hospital. Am consoling my self with my mate Gordon (I loke Gordon, green bottle n all that but shame about his name!!) & doing my nails...blokey said (get this!!) that he wasnt goung to accept full liability as I was going too fast (was only going about 28 - only in 3rd gear & just pulled out myself so no time to make speed!!)...said thats fine but fail to see how when you just pulled out that it was my fault!! cheek!! Couldnt stop shaking for ages & had a good cry in middle of street!! Feel Ok now but NTL cocked phone up while they were installing downstairs this am so now have no home phone to phone insurance co tomorrow...need to sort courtesy car so no doubt a fight on my hands to get one tomorrow, despite fact that I pay for the priveledge!! Goodish day food wise...nice haircut, am alive (so is he!) & could be worse eh!! Hugs all...what kind of day did you all have?

OMG fish - here have a HUGE ((((((HUG))))) from me and all your fellow DFWs - that sounds really scary.
I think its always worse when someone tries to argue with you after an incident like that but often its because they are being defensive and know they are in the wrong that this happens - I know you know that.
I hope that you are okay and not too shaken. I had an accident when I was 18 and it took me at least 24/48 hours to get over the initial shock (and then face my mum's RAGE!). Enjoy that G&T!
I bet your hair is looking fab! A friend (non hairdresser) is cutting mine for me while I'm a DFW babe but its just straight across, no fancy stuff so does me fine and only costs me the odd bottle of wine. Result :money:!
I'm sorry to hear about NTL too - you are not having a great weekend. Is there any chance of you taking Monday off short notice to try and get some of this stuff sorted? There's only so much you can do on a Sunday.
Thinking of you and let us know tomorrow how you are - I'll be checking in!
