I'm going to put the dw on and reload the wmand then I think 15 minutes paperwork whilst it is quiet oh and list 2 things one bay before I forget again.

Rach why not go to Kew and prime hubbie in advance that you will need to sit on the bench with your Dad whilst he takes the gf around the park for a very long walk

Don't think hubby will be coming, think he has to work! It's all slightly complicated by the fact gf is constantly looking for the next place to have a smoke, and walks so incredibly slow it would do DH's head in! I think we might just go there or Hampton court anyway and just stop lots. Am just worried as i struggled to even stand in the shower this morning :mad:

Morning all,

I had to get up and showered early this morning as the plasterer was due at 8am. I won't be doing my bedroom anytime soon as i can't get upstairs and even if i could there's so much dust and mess there's no point. I think i'll be concentrating on clearing my ironing pile a bit today.

I had my weigh and measure last night. I haven't lost any weight again :mad: but have lost another 4.5 inches making 12 inches in total. She's given me a diet and exercise diary to fill in and i've got a push session booked for next week. She did say that muscle is denser than fat and sometimes it can take a while for the lbs to start coming off. I don't think holiday and AF turning up yesterday helped. Oh well i'll get there in the end.:cool:

So far today i have

Cleaned rabbits litter tray and given them fresh water
Made lots of coffee
Fed myself & the boys
Loaded dw

I need to get Ds2 dressed now as he's just spilt yogurt all over his Pj's and then i'll make another coffee for the men and do my dailies.

Hi Guys :hello:

Toots yes she is back to her usual self. It was definitely an aberration! But Me being FOUL had the desired effect!!

Off to work today. So that's me out of the game all day. Going to go and get a bite to eat with my lovely mate tonight straight from work, so I'm looking forward to that.

Poop... just seen the time... gotta run. :wave:

Natty68

Morning campers, I'm here The wanderer has returned..lol. I know Toots missed me so am reporting in as I don't want her to worry, or anyone else in that case - that's if you noticed I was missing as I don't chat as much as some of you ...hehehee.

Life has been pretty hectic the past few weeks and it looks like it is going to stay that way for another week or so.. I'm having troubles with it though to tell you the truth, but I will soldier on and keep popping those energy tablets like they are smarties..lol. That's the only thing that has kept me on an even keel at the moment..lol.

Today I am going to be out of action for a couple of hours or so as I start my new group therapy, eeks!! Not sure how I feel about it as I don't do strangers or enclosed spaces with people, should be interesting to say the least. Still at least they are all in the same boat as me, so to speak. I've also been trying to come to terms with something the pysch team at the hospital diagnosed me with a few weeks ago.. Not only do I have Bipolar II, I also have Borderline Personality Disorder on top of the clinical depression. So as you can imagine I was very close to the edge and not really sure what I was doing, or going, for awhile. I have been up and about, and online in various places but for some reason I couldn't post on here. Strange isn't it.. I was also having trouble trying to come to terms with the loss of "toxic", in the fact that we won't be friends anymore and how it ended. Although didn't do that one very well.. I have got very good at putting on my "face" to everyone and not letting anyone see how I have been, apart from a couple of very close friends and a DH. If anyone had read my FB status they would probably have though I was a happy little bunny trawling through life.. Huh! Not true. I've also had my neighbour descended on me with her washing and grandchild for a couple of weeks, and to tell you the truth it had done me in. I wasn't used to having my whole day taken up with other people and I couldn't listen to my what my brain was telling me to do, instead I had to be a good little Natty and be all sociable and nice. I was rapidly heading for a manic stage with this and for the grace of god, DH managed to get me to come down without me doing too much damage to anything or me or the CC.

I will catch up with the thread when I get back online after therapy, then I can bore you all with it..lol.

Toots sweetie, I am here now love. You can stop fretting about me now, I'll give you a ring this afternoon, when I am back.
LL hugs honey, I'll get back to texting again very soon.. I'll be bugging you again before you know it..lol
Piggers, Freja is a gorgeous name, and she is an adorable baby and I was so touched when I saw she had one of my cardigans on in a photo on FB. It bought a lump to my throat, knowing that it was being loved as much as I would have loved it if my little one had got to wear it.

Hugs to everyone else, I'll catch up with birthdays etc when I next post.
