    Hi Taxi,

    Glad you got to see him but must have been hard to give the stuff back.

    I see lots been going on - how are you keeping? Still doing really well with the weight loss? I think I read 9lbs recently - that's fabn can I be nosey and ask how much you have lost so far.

    Take care - I may not be back on forums as much as bump's arrival is imminent!

    think I'm up to about 36lb lost at the moment..put 1/2 lb on last week but that was due to constipation from pain killers.
    It was hard giving the stuff but proved a point and I didn't want it wasted ..it was all stuff I'd bought him.
    She will learn her lesson eventually...
    Good luck with the birth and take it easy xxx

    That is absolutly brilliant that she brought JJ round, bet he has been missing his nans hugs, I'm sure now she'll be around again soon.

    I can see the point of giving the clothes to take home, kids grow so quick, but as always bet you did it with the dignity and whatever else the posh word is!!

    You take care xx

    PS - if your still bunged up, can send some rhubarb pie - certainly shifted me this afternoon!! xx

    So glad you saw JJ.

    Hopefully it'll blow over with DD and you'll be tripping over his stuff again in no time.

    Weight loss is amazing, what a fantastic achievement. You're really something Taxi, so glad you're around offering support xx

    I've been pretty ill the last few days as in being sick..don't know whether it's a bug or that I stopped taking the pain killers but had felt sick all week anyway.
