    3. Weight - Need to lose 40 pounds. Gulp.

    5. Social life - has also improved in the last year or so must work on keeping it up with out spending loads.

    6. Family/home - ok at the moment but can easy slip! So want to fix up the garden, aviod conflict/badfeeling with my sister, declutter regularly - bag to charity shop each week and e bay anything I don't want (say 10 a weekend?) and spend an hour in the garden on the weekend.

    7. Debts - Should be paid off by Nov 2010 (see ebay and cheap nights out)

    Hi Buffy

    I heard the Radio 4 programme as well and shed a few tears. It's an issue close to my heart and I hope one day to do some fundraising and maybe campaigning for better care and support for people with mental health problems and their carers.

    Anyway, I hope you're taking care of yourself. I've got everything crossed for your Mum, I really hope she's ok.

    Like Shoe Gal, there's no chance of me not realising when pay day is. Approximately a week after pay day I usually start counting down to the next one! :o

    Take care

  • Went a funeral today. You forget how apt the term grief stricken is until you see it on a face you know so well for smiling and see it full of pain. It honestly is a terrible thing. The worst. It was a comforting ceremony. the ritual is good I think. It doesn 't help exactly but it carries you through...something, another day I guess.

    I have marking to do. I should have booked a driving lesson. I had a migraine this morning (from about 1 oclock onwards) Got sent home from work at 9.20 not the best day.

    Have a busy couple of days coming up as well. oh dear.

    Life will have to wait till the weekend

    Hope you got a good night's rest (glad to see your light's out)

    Hopefully as your fiend's father was ill for a long time they can take some comfort that he is no longer in pain. It's not much but it may be a small comfort.

    Take care and don't push yourself too hard.
