It's been lovely and here today. Made a pleasant change. Reminded me of summer. I hear it's supposed to be cold and raining after tomorrow so best make the most of it!

Ethel, Glad to hear that your hair has settled down. I was thinking perhaps it was so bad you weren't going to be able to leave the house lol. Do we get to see a pic yet? I've always wanted to have black hair.

Have you been bootsing again?

TIFF!!!, Ethel has been scaring the cats by wearing a face mask :rotfl:

Sazbo, It's lovely that you're back posting again :T How was your day. Sun was lovely wasn't it.

Errr no more wine for you I'll finish off the bottle

geminilady, Sorry to be nosey but who is 'N' It's OK if you don't want to say. Sorry if I'm prying. Don't let anyone take advantage of your good nature hun.

Glad your PC is still alive Do you know what's wrong with it or is it just a case of it being old?

CCStar, How are you? Uhm this might sound like a silly question but what is a haar?

Just seen that you've answered that question

Hope you're OK and had a good day.

elona, Do you have a cat flap that you could have crawled out of :rotfl:

learning_to_drive, Have you ever tried Bach rescue remedy? I found it to be really good. It's a God send in emergency stressful/nervous situations where you need to calm yourself down.

Glad to hear that the phone interview went well :T Good luck for Thursday!

flis21, WELL DONE on joining weightwatchers. I know it must have been really scary for you but it's a positive step :T It sounds like you're in the right frame of mind as well so hopefully it will pay off.

Don't stress too much about your OHs birthday meal. Don't they say that you can eat what you want as long as it's in moderation? I think I heard something like that anyway. The most important thing is that you enjoy yourself

FLIS

We're all right behind you hun. We'll be here to congratulate you and pick you up when you're feeling down. You've got our support.

Carol, Lovely to see you drop by. Hope all is well with you.


I overslept a little today. I was planning on getting up at 7am. I turned my alarm off then but fell asleep again and woke up at 9!

I had my appointment today with my new social worker. I still never caught what her name was lol. Oh well. She was nice enough. Although, when she asked me a question and I answered she would stare at me for what seemed like ages. It made me feel quite uncomfortable and nervous. I wanted to shout stop staring at me :mad: but I didn't thought that might have been a little rude. Basically we just went over stuff that had happened. She is going to attend the meeting on Monday with my psychiatrist and I. So yeah overall it was OK I suppose.

Lots of love

Hi everyone,

Well I have just done something really scary. Have joined weight watchers. Went with my Mum. My official weight is 17 stone 9 lbs, which means I have 7 stones to lose to get into my 'healthy weight range'. A really daunting task, but I really want to do it. Am fed up of putting things off and not wanting to go out / do things because I am 'too fat'. Sooo, tomorrow is day 1 of my diet. Wish me luck, I think I will need lots of support and encouragement to do this.

Worst thing is it is Hubby's birthday on Friday and we are supposed to be going out for dinner. I think I will still be able to go, just have to chose what I eat really carefully.

Hi Flis,Good look with the diet,weight watchers is supposed to be very good and works on a point system i believe,so if you use slightly less points tomorrow and thursday and maybe for a few days after the dinner it should work out about right.Hope that makes sence.
I know all about having a weight problem,went from fat child to fat adult and have spent all my life on and off diets.I finaly realised a couple of years ago that i needed to change my eating habits because as soon as i came off the diet the weight came back on.I now make the effort to eat healthy, more fruit vegatables ect.Also small changes can make a lot of differance,skimmed milk instead of full fat,low fat margerine,sugar substitute it all helps.
It might help to break the weight you want to loose into smaller pieces so it does not seem so daunting,say half a stone at a time and treat yourself each time you loose it,a new lipstick,perfume,anything that makes you feal good.
I am sure you will get a lot of good adviseat weight watchers and you might find loosing the weight will be a lot easier than you think.Anyway keep us posted how you are doing and the best of luck.

Morning Cupcakes!:hello:
I hope everyone is safe and sound this morning?
Sorry for going awol yesterday - I was having a moment!



Besides, I ran out of catnip and had to go to Asdaland for some food. :eek:
I tell you it was like someone had announced an approaching famine!
It was so busy.:o
There again, to an agoraphobic Tiff, more than 3 people constitutes a crowd!:rolleyes: After that, I had a meeting at my home, (can't tell you!) and then I had to organize feeding time - anyhoo, I was exhausted. :rolleyes:

Yesterday was all set to be another Tuesday but someone gave me a gift. I felt really touched and this act of kindness lifted my heart.

We can all worry about huge things in our lives, and that's only natural with what we've been through, but just some very kind words or simple actions can bring a smile to us. And if that happens only once, it's a wonderful thing to have done.

When I've done it in the past, the look on the other person's face is precious - it's a great feeling. It doesn't have to be something huge, but a random act of kindness makes you both feel good.

It's nice to remind ourselves now and then, that inspite of what we've been through, the world isn't full of monsters and that there are some kind people out there.:T

But there again, of course, there are Tiffs...:eek: :rotfl:

Good luck with your appts today guys - I've got to see the gynae consulatant late afternoon today for results and maybe a decision on whether to have me 'fixed' (Hugs to ethel's cat! Messing with your furry bits indeed!:D Hope you're healed pusscat :rolleyes: ) and then tomorrow, my CPN is [STRIKE]making me[/STRIKE] er, taking me, shopping again and then I'm expected to go out with the support worker on Friday!

My brother called last night about some paperwork to do with the convalescence which is more or less the last stage to go through before they can finally consider yes or no, but with all that's happened and what I want to do for DS re summer course, I'm not sure tbh. We'll see guys - I try to believe that some things have a way of resolving themselves to some degree so que sera etc.;)

Any Wednesday hugs to everyone. Take care. Thinking of you all.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Hi rosie!:hello:
I'm sorry about your bad news angel. It's such a tragedy. Thinking of you and yours.
You are a busy Easter bunny hun!:T
I'm really proud of all you've achieved rose. I know you work hard at it all. If the docs want you to stay for a while angel, why not take the break? You could come back feeling twice as good as last time.:T :A

Good luck with your projects rosie - you are a very talented person.;) Keep us posted! Take care angel.
Much Love,
Tiff xxx

Just a quick hello to everyone, especially the people I sometimes pm, because I just haven't had the time or energy to speak to you recently and I am sorry about that. I still think of you all, but I have to look after myself first.

I am well, very well Put it this way, I'm not in the depths of despair anymore

Love to all and Tiff, you look after yourself, we should all have a meeting sometime, we could all sit in different corners and wave at each other :wave:
