Well I hope this evening finds you all well and happy out there. The sun is setting beautifully here and I have had a rather good week and am buzzing about it naturally!
I have completed my Week 4 run programme and starting Week 5 at the weekend
I have lost another 2lb on my diet making it 9lb in total
I have been accepted for my masters programme and am ready to start later this year
I am happy and settled and content and enjoying the exercise
.....just craving some choccie now and fighting the urge to go to the shop and buy some!

I can call this an AFD as I'm home alone (no wine in either)

OMG just totally blubbed about emmerdale.......shadrach just died cos of his cirrhosis. My beloved nan died 3 yrs ago in hospital due to cirrhosis of the liver..... she could be nasty, vicious, down right rude.....
the day my granddad died i poured her drink down the sink after she had a go at me and the family for laughing outside the house after we got back from an evening in the pub, reminiscing about him. she apologised the next day after i left for home.....
but she loved me. when i moved away from my mums (she moved to that area eventually) to be with my now partner she rang me and i could tell she was crying.
i dont want to end up like that. yes i've had a drink tonight. and i will tomorrow. but that will be it for the rest of the week.....
RIP Nanny xxxxx0 -

just mooching about tonight, might have any early night I thinkfinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -
Evening everyone
Hope you all are ok??
Fay if you could just "pop" down here and sort out my front garden that would be great :-) I'm definately a fairweather gardener...although I AM enjoying picking courgettes etc at the moment
Tonights plans.....Lidl's lasagne and garlic bread (piglet calls it Dalek bread for some bizarre reason:rotfl:) once Piglet asleep. He threw a right wobbly at bedtime wanting me to put him to bed. Just got in from work though and was knackered and needing a cup of tea and some painkillers for me foot...so OH insisted on putting him to bed. Made me feel awful though:(.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow....quiet morning for us and then OH going to collect kids at 12.30, dropping piglet off at in-laws on way, and then taking the kids to Bath for stepdaughter to spend her birthday money. So I'm likely to have 5 hours at least to myself!!! No car, so can't go anywhere but I don't mind that. Peace and quiet will be lovely.
Anyway, dalek bread nearly ready:rotfl:. Catch you all later.
Miss P

Have a good holiday gien, enjoy it moderately!
:T on the Masters sparkles and hope you didn't succumb to shopping for chocolate

Sending you hugs dotstar.
Miss P, I love your piglet and his dalek bread. I remember when DD1 used to ask for beefbu**ers when she was little. We managed to keep a straight face-just. Enjoy your peace and quiet tomorrow and rest that foot!
Sending you :grouphug: too fay.
Have a good weekend everyone and :T to all staying AF tonight.0
