    Wow! Amazing progress. I've got no doubt that you'll lose the weight you want to - looks like you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

    Well done NewLeaf.

    Oh NL - no post from you yet today!? Are you okay Honey? I have yogad and been very good with my fasting today, which is just as well as I consumed many calories yesterday.

    You know FS is right, your weight losing and debt busting seems to be gathering momentum, would you agree? If so we must be very good for you. You are very good for us. Oh yes xx

    Hello dear Pals! My right hand called out sick today so working double time.

    Interesting development today. My first cousin whom I haven't seen since 1985 ( our fathers were brothers, both now deceased) and his mother is deceased, emailed me today to invite me to his wedding in Italy on 25 May. Since he has no siblings and no parents, I feel like I should go.
    But I have no idea who he is.

    My life is so odd

    So basically OH comes home Friday night and I tell her some thing is wrong with my butt. She says "do you want me to have a look?"

    NO!

    So after my before bed shower she asks if I want her to look. I finally give in. She says " be right back" I thinks she has gone for gloves, medicine or a wet wipe. She came back with ... A torch!

    Torch!

    Come on it isn't the Grand Canyon.

    I am not speaking to her at the moment

    I know I shouldn't but I can't stop laughing at your rendition of the unfortunate circumstances

    Oh dear; do you mean your PA is indisposed or you have a recalcitrant starboard arm??

    How strange, interesting and nice. If you can afford it by then, it could be an opportunity to rekindle a family relationship - maybe with your Mom (how is Mom getting on, by the way)? Mind you, you might find yourself [+Mom?] sitting alone behind the groom while the other half of the church is bursting with 150 of the bride's relations..

    Hello NL - sorry you are having to work double time, hope today the right hand returns and matters bum related are resolving themselves.
    Italy sounds like fun, and fair play to the cousin to get hold of you hope you can go. Might be a good relation-rekindler?
    OK I am off to do some work now.

    What on earth has been going on over here NL while I have been absent ?

    I cant believe I missed the trip to Spain, I would have come with you all even if its cold!Next time you go I will provide the blankets I have loads and then Granny will have time to practise her dancing rather than knitting x

    I know I shouldn't but your description of the piles and the torch really really made me giggle, I nearly chocked on my custard doughnut. :rotfl:

    France sounds good, I think I must have missed the bit when you won the hols. The only thing I have ever won is a Shrek DVD

    You must go to Italy, even if you dont know anyone, bet it will be fun .

    So.... when is your birthday ? x

    I am asking OH for sex 2x a month for a year for my bd . It's been years I want to remember what it feels like xx
    ooohheeerrr missus :)

    Subscribing...I can't remember if I had before or not as I lost most of them by accident.

    Will you have to pay to go to Italy? Does he live in a nice bit? Italian weddings are meant to be all about family, so it sounds like it might be lovely meeting loads of people you've never met before....could end up cheap holiday location ;)

    Oh well I too thought you had sprained a limb while undulating:rotfl:

    Of course you should go to the wedding, and of course I must accompany you, get on the e mail RIGHT NOW and tell cousin that you are bringing your long lost twin sister. Mom of course will go and did I hear you mention a brother at one point (this okay, I don't want to adopt him as I several brothers of my own thankyouverymuch) but there will be quite a little gang of us. We don't need to spend much on our outfits - a complete ensemble including shoes and bag can be had for fifty quid from Primarni and of course I have my magic hat already...........................
