    Hi all

    Great to see so many of you doing so well. Hope poorly people are feeling a little better-take it easy.

    SIM-although all seems a bit bleak now try not to worry too much. I went BR a few years ago and found myself drinking to blot out what I saw as an impossible problem- needless to say drinking any spare cash I had and burying my head in the sand didn't help at all. And all the worry did not change the outcome- I went BR, the world didn't stop, I can't get any credit so I can't get into debt again/borrow money which is a good thing for me. I'm not being flippant about this-just to say a lot of people in this country are in your position/have been in your position and there is ALWAYS a solution, even if its not a particularly pleasant one.

    BP........sounds like there could be trouble ahead!!! On the plus side, she may 'know' your ex and therefore be more understanding about why you parted...I love my best freind but her sister is a bloody nightmare who I wouldn't wish on anybody.

    Hope everyone has a great day

    Can't stop and chat as I'm late for work.....but.....

    Morning all :wave:

    Wasn't AF yesterday and not happy about it today.

    I think you are all right about my dream, I've got too much to do and don't have enough time to do it all. I feel at the moment that my brain is full and can't fit anything else in it so I'm forgetting things and missing stuff that I should be remembering...does that make sense.

    Anyway, really, must dash :eek:

    Morning Jo, Lurky, Eselt, everyone.

    Just popping in because I finally had an AFD last night. Miss P can you count me one for June even if I don't want a target?

    Trying to get back on the WW bandwagon too. I'm planning another yummy early night and another AFD. I feel really tired after burning the candle at both ends and the middle last week so I need to regroup and be lazy.

    Hope everyone is doing well on here. Have a great day.

    Morning everyone, amazingly, despite the chaos going on around me at the moment, I managed to stay AF yesterday.

    So 5 days now please Miss P.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Morning all!

    Feeling MUCH better in the piggy household today!

    Budgie and Fay - hope you are both ok and not feeling too poorly?

    Jo - I know the "full brain" feeling very well. Sometimes things just get too much and it feels like you're juggling too many things. Thats the time I take a step back and let some things go. This week its the housework!:D (yes, I cleaned yesterday but that was bug clearing!!). I figure no-one will die if I don't dust this week. I also become a compulsive list maker when things are busy. Helps me stop my head from exploding.:D

    69chick - thats good news about your niece renting your house! I would imagine that is a big weight off your mind! Can I be nosy and ask whereabouts down south you are moving? Anyway, I think you deserved that celebration becks so don't knock yourself about it!

    Well....me and Piglet are off Fathers day shopping today! I asked him what he wants to get his daddy and he said "sprays"! Think he means smellies....well, thats easy enough to sort thank god! Getting my Dad a book and some wine (he thinks fathers day is really silly and a waste of money so goes mad if I go overboard!:eek:). And then we are off on a great park hunt!:D Was going to take him to an indoor play area but such a nice day out there I thought we would find a nice outdoor little play area and take a picnic (or sneak to mcdonalds:o)

    AF last night (obviously as still under weather) and I'm going to do a little mini-challenge of my own to see if I can go to the end of the month. Give my body a chance to have some healthy stuff put into it and get back up to par!:)

    Anyway, must fly. Not even dressed yet!:eek:

    Hrmm...well it's telling me that your friend's had one facelift too many... :eek:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Oh that made me laugh, thanks-although the women who works in the shop across the road from me has a 'beard', really dark and stubbly (I think she tried to shave it off and its grown back stubbly-theres a bloody beauty salon next door who would have waxed it for a fiver so I've got little sympathy). I won't be able to look her straight in the eye without thinking about your comment this morning!!!
