    JackieG - Excellent weightloss - well done :D :T:T:T:T:T

    Annie - Just ignore the request. If she asks you direct just say you limit yourFB to close friends and family. You are no obliged to accept her request, nutter or not.

  • Been at temping job today, day 2/3 of work in 3.5 weeks! Got another day of temping tomorrow and then hopefully I've got a job for the summer!!!!:j Induction is this week and hopefully start next week or the week after. Been so stressed with no money coming in. Fingers crossed it'll be fine.

    Risotto for dinner with pea and ham, yum!! Then a lazy evening I think, wanted one last night but friends turned up!! Just got to do the washing up first.

    thanks everybody - you are a fantastic lot :A
    i have printed the page off FB and will take it into school tomorrow, I have spoken to her teacher who was very nice but really tried to play it down, he thinks he can get them together and sort it out, he warned me about keeping her off another day, but he promised she would be fine if she came in

    I am very anxious a bout her going tomorrow as she is,
    we will have to take it a step at a time , however i am not going to be fobbed off , I expect something to be done and will take it through official channels if necessary

    She is really odd and very very nosey.....

    As Bitsy says, ignore it & if questioned say you only have family as friends.

    Sistercas hope you get that horrid behaviour sorted quickly.

    Evening all

    Not had time to read thread yet so ((((hugs)))) to all in need.

    Good day at work, got lots done in the morning and spent the afternoon playing footie in the sunshine :D.

    Popped to Mr T after work to do monthly shop (it's payday today :j), lugged it up my 6 flights of stairs! Can't decide what to have for dinner now though!

    Have a good evening all

    JackieG - Fantastic weight loss, hope that gives you inspiration to carry on if you need to.
    Sistercas - Hope you get this sorted out quickly. Hope those involved are as quick to apologise on FB as they were to be so nasty. Bullying seems to have taken on new depths since FB, etc. Hugs to your DD.
    Annie - I have ignored requests from folk I don't like and even deleted my neice as I didn't like the language used in the chat between her and her friends. Don't know if she has realised yet! I did get a message through FB from some guy I have never heard of today. He said my profife (which is private) sounds interesting and would like to get a message from me. Totally ignoring that one!!

    Had a busy weekend, Saturday just trying to get this veggie patch sorted which I think I have just about done. Was woken at 2.30am on Sunday morning by a knock on the door. As we live in quite a rural location it is very unusual. Tried to look out of DDs window and could see a car - nearly scared the poor girl to death when she realised I was in her room! Eventually shouted 'who's there' in a not very confident voice to be answered by DS1 and GF. He had been working in the bar in Glasgow and decided to come home for the night. Spent all day yesterday tired out as I didn't really get back to sleep. He said he had text me but I didn't receive the message - someone somewhere could well have been waiting for him to arrive!!

    Did all his washing yesterday - he had been at Rockness and then on an outward bound trip so lots of lovely stuff to wash! At least the weather was dry and sunny so it dried. I even ironed it for him. Had a good relaxing day with them so not all bad. Have cleaned the big sitting room this afternoon and moved all the furniture so that the french doors to the garden are a little more accessible for the summer.
    Had salmon, carrots and cabbage stir fried with basil and sun dried toms for tea which was lovelty!

    Hope everyone is well and still enjoying the good weather. Take care.

    Evening All

    Just popped in to say - (((hugs))) Sistercass & DD, hopefully the school will sort it in the best way possible. We have just had a letter home saying that any bullying via facebook will be treated as bullying in the school

    JackieG - well done on the weightloss :T

    Hilstep - sorry to hear about your holiday.

    Annie - I echo what Bitsy said. x

    Havn't had the most productive day after all as DS was off as his hayfever was terrible, hopefully he will be back at school tomorrow (actually he will be back - driven me mad today)

    Although not good for sons hayfever, the weather has been gorgeous today and set to continue all week :j

    Evening All!

    Ralloctiger I am exhausted just reading that!

    Sistercas, sorry I was so self absorbed earlier and never mentioned your daughter's troubles, I think the others have given you some fab advice, and it sounds like you have got your mind straight with the school.

    Annie just ignore her, although I am not the best to give advice on FB, I have my own problems with it! :rotfl: Hope you and lovely Mark are doing OK. :D

    Hillstep sorry your holiday was rubbish, never mind, at least you can mark it off your list of places to see;)


    Lastly thanks for the congrats, it has definitely given me the boost I needed, and I plan on making it a permanent change. I am embarrassed to say this is the longest I've ever stuck to a diet of any kind!:) I have a lot of weight to lose though, so am resigned to it taking some time. First big target for me is 2 and a half stone, as that will make a big difference to my size and dress size. End of August is set as the target date for that, please feel free to kick my 4ss, and als pass on any fat free or low cal cake recipes, as I'm sure I'll start to have cravings for cake :)

    See you all tomorrow.
