    Elly, well done, on weight loss and money, that's fab. Sorry you've been having a stressy time but glad you feel in control. Need to know what number it is you want on the back of the Celtics shirt again? Then maybe I can finally send you these things like I was meant to ages ago! xx
    Rosie that's lovely, congratulations! My sister's due Thursday and I can't wait, oooh that new baby smell, it makes me actually dizzy when I smell their heads! Probably bringing back the feeling of exhaustion through scent association lol xx
    I'm all over the place atm, keep reading through ADD forums and recognising stuff, but it's like knowing about it has made it somehow worse - at least now I know there's treatment that might help me stop abandoning projects when there's one silly little bit to go (and worrying about them all the time) until I can kind of 'sneak round' that barrier in my mind. Ugh, mental health. Apparently it's usual for 'us' to think about things too much and be impatient but it doesn't bloody help when you're waiting to find out what you can do about it all. It feels like it's been about six months. I just want to swear lots lol. Anyway hope everyone is well :) xx xx
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    Hey Noynoy,
    Thats really kind of your FIL. Its nice to be appreciated like that and even if it goes in overdraft the lift it gives you to be treated so kindly is a gift in itself.
    Great news on the overdraft and debt reduction as well thats brilliant.
