    Ithink i had a low blood sugar as i didnt wake up till well after 10 and I am so glad you rang steve otherwise i would still be fast asleep. The day is gorgeous. i have lots to do but who cares. Sunshine, what a glorious day. I am going to jump into shower and mooch to town and make the most of it while it lasts. Will sort out rubbish part of weekend later. Mission: to (continue to) be happy

    Have a good mooch around town SW. Enjoy the sunshine it makes you feel better anyway. Good for the skin in short bursts

    We are off to the park soon to meet friend. Had a few issues this morning with Avon delivery, but nothing in my life is simple.

    Why not do what Marru is doing with her tasks? Do them in short bursts tomorrow? 15 minutes task, 15 minutes, something nice?

    Sounds good. Just put some handwashing on the line. It is beautiful out there! I feel so relaxed so glad the sunshine is back. Hooray. Have a good day.

    Hope everyone has a good day.
    15 min bursts is a great idea.
    I am also trying to declutter one thing a day.

    Hey Guys!

    Today has reverted back to the other day, mum is unhappy, dad is saying he wants to be put down and i'm stuck in the middle. At least the sun is out, that normally makes everything better!

    Have a good day everyone!

    Hi y'all.
    I just lurve days like this when its sunny but not warm... they're so my favourite, i hope everybody is enjoying their weekend (despite any college essays that might need doing).

    Last summer I went through all my clothes (piles of them brand new still tagged but wrong size)and put everything that was too small into boxes under the bed.
    I had another look through the boxes today and tried everything on again, (Ive lost about 3 stone since the last time i did it) each time I found something which fit,then I'd swap it in my wardrobe for a similar bigger size item which in turn got put in recycling pile.
    Altogether I've managed to get rid of 5 bags of clothes all too big - and create some room under my bed for other [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE]things, and it feels like i've got a wardobe full of new outfits... so its not been a bad morning at all :D

    I know that feeling so well Puds - all those tops/jumpers I bought saying 'that's lovely, I'll fit into it soon' that have been in the wardrobe for about 4 - 5 years are all fitting me now - it's fantastic to go through them and find a whole new wardrobe of clothes that fit so well :j :j :j :j

    Hope your sugars are Ok now Kit and that you enjoy your mooch around town

    Hope things work out OK with your chat with friend today Aesop :A

    Beanie - plod plod plod - one job at a time ;);)

    Marru - good on you on turning of your computer and watching comic relief - hope it was good - have a good time at BF's house

    Vix - sorry to hear that Mum & Dad are down again but, as people keep saying to me about me Mam, they get their good days and their bad days - make the most of the good days hun

    Will do, im hoping this is just a phase!

    Ted, thats my dream!! Ish. That dress and bag i bought arrived today, i loved the bag but the dress is well see through!!!!! So i might exchange it for the black version!! Felt good to get into the size 10 :D

    Pub was good cheers, we only went there for a bit, and then our friends mum lives opposite so my friend and i went over there! We sent a nice little picture message to my friend with her mum in it saying "wish you were here" with our wine!! Good eve.

    I'm out again tonight, no idea what to wear, but i can get a pair of tights on so its 100% dress. I wanna get tipsy onwards so it should be a goody!!

    Marru - Whats the bis? Im intrigued!
