    Hi Honey,
    So glad that she went off OK, my eldest (will be 5 in November) starts next week, I will also be in tears - in fact buying the uniform was bad enough!!
    She is so excited, I just hope the excitement continues!!!
    Get out a nice options belgian choc, wrap up on the sofa with your SW mag and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet before your next viewing frenzy!!
    Take it easy,
    MrsYatesy
    Misguided maybe, but never really bad!! :A

    Apparently we all get a free mag this week although can't remember what it was!:confused:

    Honey, good luck tomorrow, she'll be absolutely fine.

    It's the booklet about food around the world - syn values for various foreign foods, plus recipes for making your own at home. It's a useful book.
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Lol, unfortunately I've only just started - 2 weeks ago, and I've lost a lb so far. Still it's better than nothing I suppose :o

    Suggs, I think the milkshake suggestion was from everyone saying 'at least you can't eat much with a bad mouth, it'll help your diet', but Consultant 31 suggesting milkshakes so you could still indulge without chewing!

    Oops, my mistake, sorry. I was guessing because of what weight you said you were - I didn't take into account how tall you might be. Have you got much to lose?
    Thanks for sorting out the confusion over the milkshake - I'd clean forgotten what it was all about.

    Lois you lucky thing with all these breaks. Have a wonderful birthday and I do envy you going to a show in London. What are you going to see? It sounds like you live in a lovely part of the world too.

    Honey,

    Glad all is well with DD, enjoy the peace and quiet, have some YOU time.

    I put on 1/2 this week but I'm still at target. Been naughty for a couple of weeks but now need to be focused, so, if I'm focused, you ALL have to be!!!
    I haven't got one!

    Been to tesco with DH - he felt sorry for me so came with me! (note to self - Must turn the tears on more often :rotfl: ) Then went for coffee - I like the idea of the time to myself when they are at school (and I am not at work) I just don't like the idea of my baby going to school :o
    Bought her a present and some smarties cookies as a treat - going to make a big fuss of her being a "big girl" when she gets in
