    Hello again,

    thanks for the flavoured coffee, will try that out - I'm ashamed to say, but I just love coffee whitener .... mmmmmmm :).

    So glad you mentioned the orthotic insoles, I've been racking my brains trying to remember them. My sis does a fight club type fitness thing & having suffered for months with a painful knee was eventually signed off it for a while & advised to wear orthotics. She's now fit again & said they definitely helped.

    I hope you get a good result from them & physio.

    Good work on the SP, £365 & CC overpayment :T

    NSD 1/15 today for April

    Bit of a rubbish day today - unexpected filling at the dentist after waiting yonks to be seen over the appt time. At least I can claim the cost back which is good. Saw ex which is upsetting when he refers to his GF - oh how I wish things were not like this but they are. One moves on quicker and goes off into the distance and the other one is left looking at the view. Wish it was different, wish it was really. Hope it will be different and its my turn to move on too and into happiness

  • I'm sure it will be one day and that day will really be worth waiting for.

    I spent years wishing for the same thing after leaving an unpleasant, nasty first husband. Spent a long time wishing and grasping at straws until 'bang' Mr Diz swept me off my feet. All the bad days, sad days and lonely days were worth it - even if he does drive me mad and test my patience sometimes :D

    Just don't rush it. People told me that when I was single and I used to think 'Oh, right yeah - what do you know' but they were right.

    I hope that doesn't all come across as patronising, I really don't mean it to be, but I do really know how you feel.

    Did the gym by the way! Induction last night, worked out tonight. I an soooo unfit!!! Thanks for the inspiration :beer:
    I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions...

    Thanks dizzy - I didn't find it patronising at all in fact it was lovely to read what you wrote. Its good for me to read that and not lose hope that things will change one day, probably when I'm ready and don't realise it until then

    Glad to hear you went to the gym - my advice would be start small and don't overdo it and lose hope. Tiny building blocks suddenly add up. When I started running I could barely run across the road and after 8 weeks I could run 3 miles after building up slowly and not losing motivation to keep going

    Lots of leftovers to take home and for the week ahead - result!

    So have some dough on the go in the breadmaker, just deciding whether to make the bundt cake today then tomorrow make the scones while the ham is cooking

    Also need to
    Clean bedroom, living room
    Tidy up outside
    Wash kitchen floor
    Hoover everywhere and tidy up study stuff lying around

    Take dog for a nice walk
    make pizza base dough for tea
    Read a couple of chapters out of study book

    In fact Lula I thought today I would post you a cake if ut would survive in the post for being so supportive friendly and starting the Crazy Clothes Challenge and continuing to run it which has helped me a lot around focusing on not spending on clothes in the sale for the sake of it!

    Big thanks to you is due

    Well what else have I done today

    Swept and mopped the kitchen floor and only a quick wipe down tomorrow left to do
    All the washing is done and only a little bit of ironing to do
    Pizza half demolished and might have another piece in a mo
    Dog walked
    Hoovered everywhere and tidied up ready for tomorrow

    The only thing not done as per usual is no studying - never mind really will knuckle down at bit more next week and crack on with some assignment work

    Sundays list
    Wipe down in the kitchen
    Bake scones
    Make marmalade pudding
    Cook ham in cola and get lunch ready
    HHI
    Tidy garden up for an hour before lunch

    Then relax
