    Hugs honey as no one understands better than I how invisible and lonely OHs can make us feel at times. I'm sure she cares a lot, its just harder for some more than others to show it x

    Hi Granny and Grand Benders, thanks for understanding. Sometimes I think it would be better to be alone than alone in a relationship if you see what I mean. x

    Not necessarily, my lovely. Being alone has it's drawbacks too.

    I'm sorry you're having a tough time at the moment. I think granny is right, some people find it hard to show their emotions, but it doesn't mean they don't care.

    Sending you lots of love xx

    Good Morning lovely people.

    Thanks for all the well wishes. OH has promised to try, so I said we can see where we stand in a month's time. Need to start taking care of myself most importantly.

    Weight today 13.6 (eek but it has been worse!) Will try to control the stress eating and get into the 12's as soon as.

    Exercising is kind of iffy at the moment due to the hernia but will try to do some walking.

    Paid some more off into the taxes. Driving down some of the cc's too so need to update my signature today.

    Sounds promising if OH is willing to try. I hope it works out for you.

    Walking is good exercise and if it doesn't hurt your hernia, will make you feel better.

    Look after yourself NL

    Relationships are hard honey but you should get out of them what you put in. Thinking of you and hoping things work out x

    Hiya lovely MSE folks. It isn't quite Friday but almost!

    I have the Hernia surgeon today and the thought of taking the tube in this heat makes me wilt a bit but hey ho must be done. Poor man will get the shock of his life when he finds out i can't wear a bra at the moment because it presses on the hernia.

    To perk up a bit I have given myself a home manicure, looks pretty good, and have the contact lenes in. Major step after the rut I have been in.

    Ok so it wont be an MSE day for me since I have to buy a train ticket into town. :(

    But on the bright side I will help my friend tomorrow which should give me £20 which will cover the train ticket and a little extra.
