No idea what I actually weigh but have spent just over four months on healthy food, lots of fruit, veg, low cal yoghurts, lean meat and fish etc. Seem to be down two dress sizes at least so fingers crossed.

Got some good deals in the sale -half a dozen tops- pair of slippers- handbag-two summer dressing gowns and a top and casual trousers for DD (24)who will not do shops. £15 for the lot!

Going to pick up the birthday girl in a few minutes and then go to Tom, !!!!!! and Harry's for a meal tonight. Last minute pressies wrapped and ready to go.

Happy Birthday Halight :bdaycake:

Your dress looks lovely

Afternoon all

Been busy today as per usual - had loads of washing to do again :eek:
DH is in the garden getting it ready for spring (whenever that comes) He has pulled my Jasmine out thinking it was a weed and it is full of buds:mad:
He got told to plant it back pretty damn quick!
I have just tried to get into writing this and he has called me six times already :wall:
I told him if he calls me once more I will plant him!!!!!!!!!
Trouble is I used to do all the gardening but because of knees I just can't anymore so he is a novice.

We have had heavy showers this morning and it looks like another is on the way it is going very dark.

Niece text this morning and said baby showing a little bit of improvement which is good news and she sounds positive which is good. My brother is up there today it's his second grandaughter and he is in a worse state than my niece bless him.

NoahsPennilessMummy and Moneysaving Diva and all who have wished my great niece well :TThank you for your kind wishes, and I have passed them on. I am sure things will be ok but it is so worrying when they are so tiny x

Flutterby : Enjoy your day x

Candygirl: That cold is taking a long while to get gone get well soon (((hugs)))

Halight: Happy 30th Birthday - I wish I was 30 again

nmlc: Well done you:T
Sistercass: Happy Birthday to DH

hart44: Don't you just love stroppy teens :doh::wall:Stick to it girl! DD will have to learn that what you say goes.

That's it for now DH calling again - off to plant him! :rotfl::rotfl:
Take care all xxx

Good afternoon everyone!

Didn't get on yesterday as it was a very busy one. I have been on the go since I got up this morning too so am enjoying some sitting down time now

My Mum & my SIL have been down for a few coffees and we all had a nice chat. SIL is very down after she went for some couselling at Human Resources yesterday. The very bare bones of her story are that her & DH's younger brother died in December 2007, SIL was diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb 2008, her & DH's Dad died in Dec 2008, her husband left her in August 2009 and MIL died in January this year. The poor woman is cracking up from the inside out as you can imagine. We're all trying to support & love one another as much as we can but I feel so sorry for her with her husband leaving as well. He's also not being very pleasant about it all either :mad: and has done things like not coming to MIL's funeral, refusing to pay the mortgage etc etc.

I have persuaded her to go back on anti depressants that were prescribed a year ago and we'll see where we go from there. DH & I are the only family she has left now and she for us IFSWIM.

Some thoughts & vibes for her would be lovely if anyone gets 2 minutes

On a more positive note I have made a big batch of pasta sauce to go in the freezer and Mum & SIL both took some home for tonights tea. We are having soup & cheese on toast ourselves. My tummy isn't fully recovered from last weeks bug, without going into too much detail I'm not being sick any more if you get my drift :rotfl: so I may not have cheese!

NPM I like Sorrento too

Diva Brilliant news re the OT people xx

Candygirl Hope you darling GD keeps your mind off how rotten you're feeling.

Hugs for anyone else who needs one xxx

Your poor SIL what a horrible three years she has had - but once you hit rock bottom the only way is up, and I hope that she starts the journey upwards soon. Her DXH sounds like he needs a good kick up the bum, but she probably better off without him and she will hopefully realise this soon.

I am sending her:grouphug: and wish her well she is so lucky to have such a caring SIL xxx

Bitsy_Beans

Sunnygirl - hugs and positive vibes for your SIL. That's sounds like an awful few years she's had to cope with the poor thing xx Hope she manages to get herself into a better place soon xx

Candygirl - ooooh can I come over I LOVE Peppa Pig

Butterflybrain - fingers crossed great niece keeps improving xx

Keeps chucking it down here. Have dusted and cleaned all downstairs. Need to push vac round but that will be a job for tomorrow I think when I vac upstairs.

Just popping on to send a quick email to accept DS's place for reception at school. Nice that I can email acceptance - saves me a stamp at any rate

NoahsPennilessMummy

thank you ladies:T

I think Sorrento was the one I secretly liked most but it is also the most expensive:rotfl:
Sunnygirl sorry to hear about your SIL:( poor woman. The anti depressants are a good move and she should continue with the counselling if she can:oit is very painful going through it but you do feel better when you eventually come out the other side.
Bitsy OH thinks your picture is freaky:rotfl:
