Daffy's 'a nice cup of tea cheers you up' diary

Tescodealqueen

Hi Cheerydaff,

Just found your diary.

Haven't read all the way through yet though. Drove over to the Country Market in Sheffield this morning. Bought some lovely things. DH loves fruitcake and there was a lovely choice, I am on SW but had a teeny weeny taste and it was delicious. Think we will be heading back that way again. Thanks very much for the information on MG's thread (intended for someone else I think but found it really interesting) :A

Excellent TDQ! :J I was there myself this morning too You may even have seen me and not realised! :T Did you have a taste of the free chocolate stuff? (oh no, sorry, don't want to sabotage your SW! Well done on resisting!:T )

thats just bought a tear to my eye cheri, thank you. what a lovely way of thinking. Duncan was my reason, My ex was my season, and my best friend my lifetime, such a peaceful way of looking at it. xx

Glad you liked Cherisong's poem Pania Don't you go crying too, though, there's far too much of that going on in here already this afternoon!

Well, since I was last in, I've helped my young cousin with her homework, cut out the body of a witch for my goddaughter's birthday present (!) and entered a competition to win a free place on the photography/journalling course I was planning to go on next month! Fingers crossed!

Heading to write for a bit now, then some gardening and exercise!

ooops he he i do that sometimes, post without realising that i have been reading a few pages back and not the last post before mine!!! sorryyyY!!! :rotfl: cheery lovely to hear that you've had a bit of an epiphany on the financial side, me to with the munchy thing, i've been kidding myself that many nights at the gym= free meal ticket, to the extent that this week i have PUT ON!!! :eek: so my "stop" is going to be rubbish food too. Just off to make a little colour in chart for it booo to the hormonal grumpiness. hope it passes soon, and have to admit to being just a "little" jealous of the craft project, cant wait to get my machine soon and get started!! damn you holiday!! :rotfl:
Big hugs xx

Cheery_Daff

Thanks pania, hugs to you too! Are you on holiday?? Bah, now I'm jealous! :rotfl:

I got on the scales this morning too - stayed the same for 3rd week in a row - better than going up I suppose! :eek: But you're right! I think I need a chart too - hooray! :j :j :j What are your squares?? Days without eating junk??

Cheery - are you addressing whatever it is thats making you teary in RL, or do you think its "just" hormones? If it is "just" hormones, what about low dose herbs, or changing eating patterns, something? You sound like its a lot of stress for you at the mo. Sorry not to be totally cheery.

No I managed to resist the chocolate, which is good for me.

Was checking out the Berlingo parked outside as we need something similiar when our estate gives up the ghost (which won't be far away).:mad::eek:

DS doesn't drive and is in a band so need to transport him and the vast amount of gear he seems to need for every gig:rotfl:Haven't worked out yet from the thread whether you got one and it was yours

Cheery - here's a huge hug - not much use but please use liberally.

Loved the reasons to be cheerful list.

I hope you've had a constructive time.............up in 't attic.

Yes I got one, but we walk to the WI since we only live round the corner Apart from needing a new alternator, disc pads and a number of other things costing £400 in the first 4 weeks, it's been fine! :rotfl: But since it's 8 years old, and we 'only' paid £1000 for it, I'm pretending we paid £1400, got a full year's MOT, new disc pads, new alternator etc, and considering myself to have bagged a bargain :rotfl: Loads of room (although we've taken the back seats out as we're planning on sleeping in it

Thanks for your concern KC :j I'm working on it. It really doesn't usually hit me this hard. I think it's a combination of hormones (which usually give me a couple of days of slightly short-tempered wobbliness but not much else), end of PhD coming round all over again (I was in this state last year really!) and all the feelings of uselessness etc that come with that, silly lodger invading my space for a month and making far too many cups of tea (darn that man and all his friendly tea offering! :rotfl:), so I've drunk far too much caffiene this month, and slipped back into dreadful eating habits again, picking up bars of chocolate all over the place, and hardly eating any fruit

So a general combination really! Been in no fit state to do anything other than basic functioning this week, but I've made a pact with my sister to do *some* exercise every day (any more specific than that And I'll start beating myself up about it! :rotfl:), have made my thing to STOP for Mr Big's challenges to STOP buying chocolate when I'm out by myself (this is my danger zone for obsessive overindulgence of the 4-mars-bars-in-a-row variety ).

So I'm getting there. Just sat down, turned the internet off and did 2 hours on PhD, which made me Feel SOOOO much better :j Amazing what actually *doing* something rather than worrying about it can do! Mr Dafs has just shouted up to say he's made tea! (food and a cuppa I'd imagine!) :j :j So best go - and I'm in for a restful evening :j

Do you have any advice on herbs? Is it something you've used yourself if you don't mind me asking?

(oh, and I'm also back at the hospital on Friday for a thyroid check up - which may well have started being stupid again, which might explain a lot!)
