    Hi Hypno

    I go to my bezzy mates for the weekend and you start a new diary so I'm all in a panic when i get back and no updates, lol! I hope it is the beginning of things looking up for you.

    Didn't have chance to post but loved the handbag !!!!!!

    Well......Monday turned out to be mediocre with mould in places......could have been worse.....could have been better.....I've a fuzzy headache as a result, so am not planning on doing anything taxing this evening, and cancelled my download work for tonight.

    One of my "mouldy" moments resulted in me buying masses of chocolate from the nearby Tesco Metro......although I have been strong, and not actually eaten them. But it does show what a fine line it is between being "alright" and being "fragile" so to speak.......

    onwards and upwards.......

    You are so right there but you did very well to resist. Why does chocholate always seem so comforting. Food in general come to that.

    Yes it's so important to look after yourself at the moment.

    Sometimes it is so flippin hard!! Thankfully I was able to deal with it, recognising where I was, so to speak, but I have to be sooo careful or I will lose it :(

    Dinner (more of the saag aloo I made yesterday......yum) and an early night I think. The duvet does, indeed, call.

    On the other hand, given what you've been through & are still going through, just buying a lot of chocolate is hardly breakdown of the century. But well done for not eating it, as I know you want to stick with your diet :)

    When my dad died, honeybear, I used to buy and consume carrier bags full of chocolate and biscuits. I am very aware that what I did today could be the thin end of the "self destruct" wedge, and I am glad that I was able to stop myself from eating it.
