    Fantastic Friday everyone :hello:

    My appointment went REALLY well yesterday but it came with a bitter sweet pill at the end.
    The good bit was that I cried from start to finish which was a wonderful release of emotions. Now the not so good bit, I am going to receive counselling but there is a 4 month waiting list :eek:

    After the session I was shattered for the rest of the day but I still managed 4 smilies :D:D:D:D, I'm well pleased with that

    TM6 - really pleased for you that your appointment went so well, don't push yourself too hard over the weekend though! Relax - enjoy the bit of sunshine we are having xxxx:)

I'll need a little sleepy after the drive down but then catching up with family and friends will be a real treat xxxx:):):D Going to see a friends puggy puppies on Sunday - will really have an internal fight going on not to buy one! I love puppies - but going to wait until my little girl has her own in the summer x

    Have a really happy positive Friday Steppers!:j:):D

    Thanks Vintage - I will relax - promise but I am fed up of this lethargy so like today when I am having a good day I just want to get things done!

    Have a fantastic weekend with your sis and all your lovely family :grinheart
