Good news is that the increased activity I've been doing this week is helping the weight loss, I've lost nearly two lbs this week so far! :j

You can, just print off the previous weeks lists. I've done it before and it's fab! A bit overwhelming for newbies though which is why we have it day by day I think.

Well done on the Weight loss Rosepink! I know what you mean about the list, but like Helen Jelly said, the lists change and I need to check for 2 reasons:

• It doesnt always occur to me to do something which hasnt been done for a while, until Pigpen tells me to do it
• I want my stars

I wasnt really suggesting that Pigpen change when she posts them, it was just an observation cos I like it

Jo - I also love the whole list being up as it means if I haven't got time to do one part I can maybe do something else.

My CRB came through today - yeah - so I can start work soon, my hours are being sorted out over the next couple of days so DH and me are cracking open the wine tonight

Thats three reasons! Well done on the CRB coming back and being able to start soon!! Hope you enjoyed your wine

JO - Thanks for sharing the info about how you manage flying time with work. It was a very inspirational read. I'm considering returning to work after 6yrs as a SAHM and I'm worried the house will go to pot . But maybe I can juggle work and home life after all.... :think:

Choccybix....if i can do it, anyone can! :rotfl: Dont get me wrong, its taken me a while to establish my routine and I really really struggle to work full time, in fact I dont manage at all. Like someone pointed out on the thread - you cant make more time, so something had to give. I obviously took a cut back in pay, but its worked out much better for me, LO and the house.

Well done Rose on the weight loss.

Thanks, and thanks Jo too. I tried on my denim skirt today and I fit into it again just about :T:T I am so pleased! I WILL reclaim my wardrobe and be able to wear all those nice clothes I've got again!

Spent the morning making brooches, and then went for a walk as it's been lovely and sunny here today. I walked as far as the shop and back which took 25 minutes. I was fine when I was in my road on the outward journey, but when I reached the main road got quite panicky. I didn't think I would make it back, but I did and then I was really pleased!

I had lunch and then hooovered the bedroom end of the flat and the bathroom. The hoover did work today (bit temperamental) but the tube bit was completely bunged up, so I debunged it and then it was fine.

DH and I are going to tidy the LR tomorrow as it's still full of stuff we found during the big declutter and haven't foudn homes for yet.

Poor DH has come home feeling really worried and low. The trouble is that he can't really express his emotions, but I can see something is wrong. He's tried to tell me, but can't really get the feelings into words. Lots of hugs and TLC are required I think...*runs off to administer some*

Done no flying today. Spent most of the morning on the phone, cancelling all my appointments for the next two weeks and getting ready to return to Sussex, as it appears my mother may not recover.

Ruth

Hugs thoughts and vibes as appropriate. Please ask if theres anything we can do xx

rosepink1984

Ooops, forgot this bit!

LW I hope you are ok, didn’t see what was wrong but hope it’s alright xx

Mrs Chaos glad your friend had her babies and they are doing well

Soappie well done on the planning permission, glad you got the result you wanted

Hugs Kalojac

Hugs Fedup

Hugs to all who feel low and depressed, I’m the same at the moment, but remember these feelings will pass and you will feel better soon. Try to get out in the sunshine (if it’s shining) and try to have some gentle exercise. If you feel you need to rest then do so, being over tired can make you feel very low xx

Hugs Ruth, and Ishtar, thinking of you both and your mums

1 Step, I hope the walk goes well tomorrow

Zoe well done on having such a big clear out and I’m glad parents evening went so well
