    Taka, good luck with both the mortgage and weight loss. Keep chipping away at both and you'll be amazed at the results.

    Oops, bad neighbour here, I didn't know you had a diary :o.

    Hope you're feeling a bit better - must be really frustrating not being able to do stuff.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    To be fair GG even I don't post on it much and its MY diary! :o :rotfl: I think this is a record - posting 3 days in a row! :p

    I had my dietition group thing this morning. Not sure what to think of it really - the discussions and homework are rather like things I've done before as part of my treatment for my ED. Oh well - hopefully it'll help. 2 people didn't even turn up for it (or phone to apologise) which was a bit rude so we are down to 8 in the group after week 1. :( I hope the other folks come back...

    Ohhhhh... I've just realised my mortgage interest payments are now less than £7 per day! :j £41,426.24 (today) - £41,413.13 (on the 4th) = £13.11 for 2 days or £6.555 as day! :j That means my OP of £200/month is (just! :p) larger than the interest I pay per month as of now! :D:D:j:j:dance::dance:

    Nope - it just an (increasingly grubby! :o) creamy-white! I was origionally told at the minor injuries clinic that there were colour options but they lied! I wanted purple! :p The one I had on for the first week did have an added curry stain but thankfully that cast was too loose after the swelling went down a bit so had to be changed! :rotfl:

    _party_:dance::j:j:dance:_party_

    My cast is off! My arm is freeeeeeeee!

    :beer: :D :T :D :beer:

    Yay! My wrist was released from its evil prison this morning! :j Its a bit bruised (still??? after a month???? :eek:) and definitely tender around the bit I broke. Can't really bend or flex it much but I have to practice moving it to get more range of motion and I've been discharged from the hospital. :D

    My poor arm and hand look a bit odd though! My forearm is definitely lost muscle mass as it is noticable smaller than my other arm apart from at the wrist joint which is noticably bigger! :eek: My hand is also distincly squished where the cast was and has a 2 inch flat bit on the edge of my hand that wasn't there before! :eek: :rotfl:

    Apparently it is now up to me when I return to skating (Though my wrist won't be back to full strength till ~ Xmas.) Decisions, decisions... :think:
