  • Ooh you've got new carpet! I bet it feels great it gives the whole room a face lift doesn't it :)

    I was thinking it might be a hernia...my sister's boyfriend found a "lump" turns out to be a hernia from heavy lifting (he's a stone mason).

    I've fallen off the healthy food wagon lately :o I ate a huge bar of Toblerone to myself the other day I felt so ill after :o yesterday I bought tonnes of fruit as my poor tummy (ibs) and head (I get migraine from too much choc) couldn't take any more lol xx

  • I had a lovely sleep in my new room thank you, and wondered where I was when I woke up :rotfl:.

    DF(w) I'm sure DH's hernia is from the weight lifting he does at the gym. I'm still laughing at the indignant look on DH's face when the Dr said 'you've almost got a six pack'. When we got out DH was like 'almost??? Almost!!!' :p.

    I'm thankful for this diary in more ways than one today. Got a bit of a snotty letter from school today asking me to state why DS2 was off school on 14th March and why I hadn't informed them he was off. Couldn't for the life of me think that he'd been off not least why, but a browse on here told me he'd fallen down and scuffed his knees on the way into school that day and we'd decided along with his teacher to just take him back home again as he was very upset. It was also the day that DH had the partial seizure so no wonder I'd wiped it from memory!!

    I have a confession to make. Mr T's have Y@nkee candles on for £9 each but 3 for 2, so I bought myself 3 :o. House currently smells of vanilla frosting yum yum!

    Mmmm love candles! Yankee does Lemon Lavender which is just divine! Just the right amount of each not be overpowering.

    Bedroom does sound lush! Happy sleeping :D

    Sounds lovely Lucky, glad you are getting some house upgrades. It's such a nice feeling :)

    Lol at the Dr's six pack comment! Hope you're out enjoying the sunshine.

  • Unfortunately Lara we do not have sunshine today :(. We've had a mix of rain and cloud today, though it was lush and sunny yesterday. On Tuesday night we had torrential rain, hailstones and thunder/lightening, so it's been a very mixed week!

    I've never tried the lemon lavender one HAW, so I will keep an eye out for it. I got a cherry vanilla one today though which is also gorgeous Xx

    " he'd fallen down and scuffed his knees on the way into school that day and we'd decided along with his teacher to just take him back home again as he was very upset."


    It's quite out of order for the teacher not to have recorded this decision. Please write to them and set them straight. I'm annoyed on your behalf!


    Yay to the debt reduction, home comforts and "almost six-packs".
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Your bedroom sounds gorgeous with your new carpet and curtains.


    I agree about the weight loss. You have done amazingly and will soon lose it again. You will have to give me some tips when we get back onto an even keel again. All the travelling is not helping my weight loss.

  • Cheers Satchmo, I have done so Xx

    Hi BrightSpark, thank you for your kind words. I have found your diary and will cheer you on. Lovely to think I've inspired someone Xx

    Pooh, you've had way too much going on to worry about your weight! This week I'm avoiding pasta! i know it's a free food at SW, but I eat mounds of it regularly so I'm going cold turkey!! Xx

    Helped a friend clear his flat this afternoon then took the boys swimming. I ache all over now!! Xx
