    Nearly twelve hours and still only one slip. Have gone to bed as I'm too lazy to sit on the sofa on the Mac and it stops me thinking of cigarettes

  • Pap delurk's after a week :rotfl:

    Can I just say I love today, I have ran my first ever 5k (not my offical race), I am debt free on paper thanks to a generous payment from a commision and I have decided work isn't worth worring about any more :j

    Up until today I was in my usual self destructive mode but today I am all happy :rotfl: I know a very self absorbed post but if you would have seen me only 6 days ago...

    Thanks for cheering me up guys even if I haven't posted, you guys are fabby :A

    Not really, I am still overweight, surprise surprise I have put a fair few pounds on but with my pcos it was expected. I am just really happy I am more fitter now and I don't mind running as a fat girl in public :rotfl: I was told at school I would never run, I was told C25k wouldn't work, I was labeled by many as fat forever... I maybe fat but at least I am fit ;) Now I just have to do the race, keep training for my 10k and start p90 before p90x :eek: Gotta love the fitness bug :beer:

    Hey PAP.....that's FANTASTIC news....well done you. Can't wait until I'm there too.

    Went to Bluewater today - bought a jacket for another Communion next week. I'm wearing a dress that I've haven't fitted into for about 6 years so I'm well chuffed. The jacket is black, cropped with short sleeves and will go with the dress (lime green) perfectly.

    Just dropped DD1 at the pub with her friends so have the house to myself for a couple of hours and what am I doing....yep.... on here :)
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Huge congrats PAP - we can celebrate when we all meet up. I feel so pleased for you.

    I have sound of music on in the background - such a sweet movie. I'm a sucker for love songs. I suppose I'm a true romantic at heart.

    That's great Pap, you're sounding really positive.

    Second to last EVER 24 tonight, sob.

    Great post Pap :grin:

    Bittersweet today.I have finally got rid of my old Phillips record player which was in a corner of sitting room in a unit.
    Its away to skip & unit will go when I can help with it.
    I am getting a new chair that is easier to get out of so needed to free up space.
    I now have hundreds of CD,s to go through.
    Room is at the really yucky stage.I need more energy.
