    Hi hon

    This is a bit late but I did say I'd get back to you post-birthday about goals, aspirations etc for the next year. Well I haven't quite got that but I have worked out what I consider to be the main problems/issues in my life:
    • being in debt
    • not feeling fit/healthy enough
    • being lonely
    Haven't worked out what I'm going to do to address these things yet. But, & this is the good bit, these are all things that are within my power to change :)

    Hope the puppy hasn't caused any further destruction ;

    Happy Easter :)

    Happy Anniversary!

    Did you sort out a birthday plan for DS?

    I can entirely emphasize with the dog situation - mine bought half a tree in the other day accompanied with mud :cool:

    Hi Honey,

    Well done on identifying your goals. That is the first step . You just need to break each goal down into acheivable baby steps:) (((Hugs)) to you being lonely :A . We are all here for you , sweetie;)

    Love & cuddles

    Thanks IMD,

    We are having pizza today followed by icecream with sprinkles, smarties etc ( a bit like the icecream factory in pizza hut) . DS1 received the "Up " Dvd as a birthday pressie so we will watch it later.

    AS for the " big event " with friends .... I said he can invite some friends round after the Easter holidays to celebrate . He seems happy enough with that.

    I should add that although it is his birthday, it does not stop him fighting with his brothers:)

    Hope you have a good " Final" run;)

    love 40SMxx
