    Cheri eek to oh dad! Yeah you're both right we need to keep her mind off things - keep her busy too maybe she can make the egg chart!!

    Or I'll task her with the hens. :)totally want to be there for her, I hope she also chills a bit. If she can relax all will be well and dandy

    I've put a stuffed dragon in her bedroom! She's welsh therefore the dragon and does have a sense of humour!

    :)

    Lovely attitude, Pippi. n:T:T:T:T

    It should work - and so good for her.
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    You have to have a day off every now and again :D - my rule is if it is home-made it is allowed...probably cheating though :o

    I just had veggie sausage and mash (made with butter) and it was scrummy. My favouritest food ever mash.

    To those concentrating on calories ... could you experiment with eating what you want, when you are hungry and stopping when you are satisfied?

    Much less taxing than lots of sums ;)

    My tip for confidence is to play your most favourite ever tune in the car on the way to the interview and sing at the top of voice (carrying on the theme) I always play Haircut 100 Favourite Shirt because it just makes me smile. Seems to work for me.
    I'm catching up, so I only just read this - this is brill :j

    Have realized there is no more Dr Who until Autumn now...how will I cope!! Still reeling from all the revelations last week...very clever (and frustrating!) of those Who writers.
    :eek::eek::eek: I was at my mum's, I'll have to catch up on iplayer - I've started watching Who again, now that Matt Smith has calmed down a bit :rotfl:
    PS - tea was pasta with broad beans (are you suprised?), feta cheese and mint

    Ooh! This is one that I do minus the mint, and plus pesto .... but I have two mint plants I brought with me, and they're both looking pretty good ... I could do this .....

    Pippi, I hope its all going well, it *sounds* like it is. Hope Mr Stripes' mum is doing okay, its got to be tough.
