    laura pm me your pictures please paula i was nearer 17 at christmas and managed to clear the half stone mark but since starting to pack up we have had a lot of takeaways and alcohol lol .find that everytime i get under a half stone mark i get stuck for a while but if you promise not to go over it again then at least you maintain weightloss.
    i'm great at getting patients motivated ,must use up all my motivation on them lol

    Ah it's easier helping other people though, not sure why, that's why i get so into doing my friend's garden, if i lived there i'd probably be less keen! Although i will be reaping the benefits when the veg grows :-) join online weightwatchers with me and joey, it's good cos you find out where you're going wrong and how to fix it. Bit worried about m and p now - OH was saying people were running out of money cos of having to stay in hotels? Laura those nails are fab! Mine are all bitten lol, oh well. Have to come off now but will catch up in morning :-) night all xx

    evening everyone!

    Been a pretty good weekend around here, not that I did much of anything tho! Actually had about an hours nap in the chair today as fell asleep while working on my blanket lol

    Decided this afternoon to go out and try and find this place that I have an interview for tomorrow afternoon, straight after work. I found it, just at the same time a speed camera found me as well! eeeek, not exactly what I needed today. The second problem with the new job possibilityis that it pays monthly and i am currently on weekly. It is perm however and does pay 3ish grand more a year, however it would mean no income for 5 weeks, not sure I can do this, in fact I am pretty sure I cant. Agency however said to go to interview and if offered the job they would talk to them about a possible advance, just dont know if that is a good idea either.

    Then been trying to sort out a transit van etc to do the move this week. So far I am really struggling as cant find one so far that does not want up to 200 quid as a security deposit, which obviously I dont have. I only have the option of moving either thurs afternoon or first thing friday morning. cant even find a van for 4 hours that I can afford. I wish I knew someone that had one. Why cant just one thing go right or come even slightly easy.

    I keep telling myself that these things are set to try me, however I would think by now the universe would know that I have passed enough tests for a lifetime! Oh well, one way or the other I will figure something out, I just dont have a blinking clue on how. I have not figured out how to make money magically appear.

    Back to work tomorrow and part of me is actually relieved as per usual very little sleep around here and i am so looking forward to being in my own space again, long overdue now. lol, just have to figure out how to get my stuff back down here into my space hehehe.

    Sory about the long dribble, I suppose am just sounding out things as sometimes it makes more sense to have written them down to try and make sense or find a way to sort them out.

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend!
    I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody! Louis L'Amour
