    Hiya all, :hello:

    not been in the Inn for a quite a while :o

    Received a wem this morning from Good To Know for a digital camcorder :j:j:j:j

    and I thought that today was going to be a good day as I also received a letter from a housing association to say that they are going to offer me and my wife secure accommodation in a one bedroom wardened flat,

    I was over the moon as we are in private accommodation at present which is very expensive and I couldn't wait to see the property and so I went to view the property straight away, the property looks OK and we are due to see the estate manager tomorrow morning

    things didn't go so well when I got back home however as I couldn't find my wife anywhere she has had a few memory problems of late so I was quite worried when she wasn't in the bungalow

    I frantically knocked on my neighbours to see if they had seen her and while I was doing so a police van and police car rolled up and they said that they had found my wife wandering and not knowing where she was about half a mile away :(

    I don't normally leave her on her own but have in the past but only for a short time and she has never wandered before and I am quite shocked!

    my granddaughter who works as a private care worker is going to contact social services tomorrow to ask for an assessment as we now fear the memory problems could be more serious than we first thought

    I am going to be taking a break from comping for a while and will hopefully post again when things settle down a bit

    I will however try and post tomorrow to let you know if we where successful in obtaining the new accommodation

    Best of Luck :)

    TTFN

    how awful Amilucky, :hugs to you & wife.
    a nice win, camcorder well done on that :T
    but so frightening for you with wife missing, your heart would be in your mouth & then when police drive up more panic,
    God bless you both & I wish you all the very best with the assesment, sounds like she really needs it ... hope you both get all the help you need.
    glad the property is ok
    hope tomorow is better for you
    take care of 'you' too, mind!

    thanks everyone
    thanks fin a wee tunnocks teacake
    never been called that before :D
    i feel like ive ate the whole tunnocks factory this year.
    any advice ..encouragment please!!!
    i need a bit of spurring on... diet wise, when i split with oh Oct 2008
    i was 1 & a half stone overweight, ballooned to 2 overweight with comfort eating, but last august i vowed to be thin by xmas 2009 & joined slimming world, took up power walking & the weight began to fall off i loved it, got healthier & arthritis & fibromyalgia improved 90% :T
    by Dec 09 I was 9st :D
    i had half a stone to lose, the comments I was liking! ;)
    & my oh kept txtn to say how slim n nice i looked...huh!
    hes a taxi driver so i couldnt avoid him.
    in jan 2010 i left SW & thought i could lose my last half st on my own but instead ive put about 10 lbs back on, i feel old fat miserable, getin the fat clothes back out & its realy getin me down. beached whale is not the word :(
    i know what i need to do but theres no 'fire in my belly' like last year
    i have rejoined SW But they dont give you will power & mine went awol, im even struggling there & putin it on instead of off!
    only myself to blame, i pig out with all the wrong food & i crave sweet stuff constantly, health is gettin dodgy agin, so how do i kick myself up the butt & stop the unhealthy stuff.
    ive just ordered nan bread & dopiaza sauce fom Indian which is 2 mins from my door :o
    i need dynamite, a slap , can you my friends please throw some positive word at me, ive tried the thin/fat photo on fridge. i comfort eat cos im depressed & unhappy
    thanks if you read this x
    feel ive failed at everything i do so dont need anyone tel me i am my own worst enemy

    Hiya Red

    Not sure what to advise hun, I have the opposite struggle trying to put on weight..
    but you seem to have done very well, like you said, it's a matter of motivation but I am sure you can pick up again. You did it once, you can do it again x maybe join an MSE group to report on results, share tips etc..

    Sorry this is not great help :o
