    Glasgow - was there earlier this year but she thinks I can't come (which I really can't to be honest) in August. August is my busiest time of the year as I'm in the tourist industry so it's a flying visit - arriving Friday morning and flying back early Monday morning!

    Morning all,

    Med Mum - please bring some good weather when you come over, June has been a complete wash out!!

    Vicky - take care of yourself, forget the diet for now and get well. xx

    karen - love the idea of the tin but with my chocolate problem I think I'll fill mine with mini bottles of wine! :D

    Sarah - good luck dollie, fingers crossed that everything goes well... and enjoy the meal. x

    For all those WI today - good luck!!

    I stayed the same at WI this morning which I am pleased about as I have worked hard to get back on track after my kitkat and ice cream binge on Tuesday so no damage done. I am going to weigh myself on wii fit on Sunday morning to see if I have lost any more before my holidays. I think I need to do that to stop myself lapsing into holiday mode now and being a pig before we go next Mon.
    *Sigh ~ why is my relationship with food such a struggle. *

    well done medmum - you can do it. You're right we are never satisfied with the weather but my God it has been a wet summer so far in Scotland... but I'm sure your Mam tells you that too. x
