    Did the dailies this morning, made some phonecalls, then signed up to Weightwatchers online. :eek: I went through quidco so hopefully it will work out as 3 months free. I have about 1.5 stone to lose, which makes me cross because I already lost it once. It seems to have found me again. I will have to run faster this time. :D

    I did not know Diva, but I am wearing purple socks today because she clearly meant so much to so many.

  • Im in again this week but will be mostly lurking. Not in a very good frame of mind and seem to be wallowing in self pity. Doesnt help that its my wedding anniversary on Wednesday and my ex is out enjoying life and im sat here bloody miserable. Doesnt help that he wont divorce me, doesnt pay me maintenance, doesnt work, doesnt bother with his kids from one week to the next but has taken on a new daddy role with someone elses. Grrrrrrrr.

    OK rant over im off to boot the black dog up the asre and get some cleaning done.

    Can you not divorce him to get him out of your life?
