    Who was it on here who was into the wedding stuff? Wedding blog or something - I can't for the life of me remember.
    I know someone who has started making wedding things- candles, pew ends, bridesmaids baskets etc, etc.
    Was thinking of trying to help her get some traffic to her site/listings.
    Any ideas?

    PS gutted - didn't lose any weight this week and tried sooooooo hard!

    Hi all. I'm still here. The hormonal burst has passed leaving me back on an even keel again and the garden redesign well underway LOL. Nothing like a bit of digging to get rid of a fit of depression. A lot more positive today, despite the kicks in the teeth last week. Need to get on and make dinner - trying to be good as I have a stone and a half to lose before our holiday next Easter. I am healthiest on South Beach but lose fastest on Slimming World, so I'm doing a bit of a mix and match at the moment with a view to doing more or less 100% SB for maintenance.

    Need to sort dinner now. Making cauliflower cheese for main for me and need to sort some meat to go with it for DH as I can't see him regarding cauliflower cheese as a meal! That's free (cauli) + healthy As for the cheese and the milk and using arrowroot powder instead of flour to thicken to make it SB friendly as well. No idea if arrowroot is synned in SW or how much it is, but hey ho, it's OK on SB so it can't be much as SB is way stricter than SW!
  • I am so bloody fed up
    In floods of tears cos I tried to do something nice why do I bother
    I paid £50 to get hole tickets for my 2 eldest daughters
    D1 went missing on a night out with friends, not 1st time something like thats happened
    Her friends came to door frantic that she hadnt been seen after getting put out of club for being drunk
    Her story is her so called friends left her and she was refused entry to club as would only accept passport or driver lisence as id, had no money so ended up staying a this girls house
    She doesnt think that I should know anything about what she does as she is an adult,
    well I paniced and called police,she doesnt know that yet
    the 2 of them have just had a row on FB with me in middle as referee as D2 thought D1s behavior was out of order, and she hadnt been in contact to make plans for getting there, so she advertised tickets on FB, the friend they were staying at seen post and thought they wernt going,now when trying to book train glasgow friend is funny about them staying so arguement comenced ending in D2 telling D1 I told her she had gone missing thats why she advertised tickets,she was also complaining about not being able to afford the £14 rail fare,even though shes been out and knew it was on
    D1 went balistic at me screaming at me that I have no right to tell people things like that its my fault they carnt go ,she lifted GD and after a lot of verbal abuse left
    Now D2 is screaming at me down phone
    I just feel like ripping the tickets up I will nwver do anything nicxe for those two again
    I am so upset it is just one drama to many Ive had enough,now Ive had a nasty text
    WTH all because I got them tickets so they could have a good night out together
    Oh Im also being told Im acting like a 5 year old cos I said neither are getting tickets
    I will just count my losses

    Right Firstly I am going to go and have a walk and post some goodies and have a ponder.... However I think I have a minor idea to turn this negative situation into a positive........

    Anyone know any commission based sales people who are looking to sell in the IT Sector with an average contract value of between £1200+

    I can provide all of the technical information they need, and all commisions will be based upon ex-vat prices. I still need to work out the details - as thats where the devil is but it is one option I have..

    Not sure this will help or be of interest....but I have about 10 years direct experience in the IT sector with sales and with marketing, let me know if there is anything I can help you with NLID, and dont worry about fees etc, it would be my pleasure to help where I can!
    I am somebody. I am me. I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody! Louis L'Amour

    even sell the tickets yourself and take gd and youngest dd out for tea. tell them you are spending time with your own age group
