Good God woman, you've even got me feeling sorry for you now.

Chin up pet, remember it could be worse...you're still not green, you have that to be thankful for.

OH has just walked in from work. Face like fizz. Apparently he only got a hour's sleep last night. I woke him up by the hall light shining on him when I opened the bedroom door when I was going to bed around 11ish. I was only in bed 20mins when I decided to sleep elsewhere because of the aforementioned fumes :D so it's not like I then kept him awake.

He speaks to daughter ok, passes the time of day with the dog, but is clearly p*ssed off at me and he's now gone to bed.

So what did I just do? Ate half a packet of bloody biscuits!!!!! :mad: I give up.

It can be boring wandering around the shops especially if you've no money to buy things, but I really do find it helps get me over the first day/couple of days.

I love shopping but can now go and not buy something. If you have any local charity shops set yourself a task such as finding a specific book. If you don't find it nothing is lost as you can still get the chat with staff and get out with a purpose if you do find it it will only cost a small amount. Try finding cook books to fit in with your diet, a recently published novel and chances are you won't find it. Other way you can buy from shops that will take returns and take it back in a couple of days. Can't do this too often though.

Other thing you can do is do small amounts of your food shopping on a mid week trip.

I think the walk and meeting people are the real benefits of getting out the house esp if there is a bit of tension within it.

Weather for this week is supposed to be good so plan another hill climb. You might not get another dry week until next year.

I like to go for a wander round ikea or the range, sad i know but it inspires me to get some decorating done, i love it when i have a change of colour

I actually like spending time at home, my sons are great now they're older, we have quite a laugh actually (usually at my expense mind ) middle one just said 'mum, you dont need low carb or low fat, try low food' cheeky sod

I like the charity shops too AH, especially if you go to a posh area
