    Ummmm... Hi! :wave: :D I 'only' had 16 pages of your diary to catch up on!!!!! :o

    Good to read up on what's been happening. Absolutely fantastic news ref the debt - paid back over £20k?? That's amazing!! Very very well done lucky.

    Well done on the weight loss too. Yes, the occasional gain too, but hey! We only live once! Might as well enjoy :)

    Glad to hear you finally made it to Edinburgh and the Zoo :D I'm sure it was lovely to get that break away.

    Trust DH is doing ok. A few panic moments over the last couple of months, but well handled, as always, by yourself.

    One final thing. Repeat after me: 'ME'.... And again: 'ME'.... No matter what other crazy stuff is going on around you, you cannot forget about yourself. Please try and get some 'me' time as often as you can. We all need it for sure.

    Love and hugs to you lucky. Stay strong - you are an amazing person! :)

    Eeeeeee welcome back HAW :j. You really did sneak in because I'd had my previous reply pending to post for ages and I hadn't realised you had posted meanwhile!

    ME....... ME.........ME :D

    Hope you are doing well, I look forward to reading your diary update Xx

  • We have finally achieved a NSD :T. 27th day of the month, shocking!!

    BBQ was fab, the host has a fantastic garden and the boys played football for hours. I had a couple of glasses of champers and strawberries which were very enjoyable, but stopped at that for DH's sake incase he isn't well later and I need to be on the ball. However, we haven't had any waves of fear since lunchtime and he is currently helping his best mate shift some stuff so fingers crossed. I am now sitting in peace infront of the tv :D.

    That sounds delightful!

    You know Lucky, I love reading your diary! It doesn't matter what happens in a week or even a day, you are unfailingly positive. And lovely things like this happen and make me so happy for you! Sounds a lovely day!

    Glad to hear you had such a lovely time at the BBQ Lucky. Hopefully Mr Lucky was ok overnight. Re the no spending day - at least you managed one in a month, forgotten what they are personally!

    Lucky sounds like you have had a fab time and so happy that you enjoyed your trip.

    Well done on staying so strong with DH when he has these episodes. Its tough, but in some ways its positive that he still enjoys himself. I know my Dad is starting to forget things like this and he really upsets him when he thinks he is experiencing something for the first time, when he might have had the experience again if that makes sense?

    Keep looking after yourself x

  • Aw I love it when I have lots of lovely visitors to the thread :T. I hope you are all ok and thanks for popping in!!

    Lilt it's kind of you to say I'm always positive, but tonight I'm in a bit of a grump. I've had 3 bad night's sleep in a row and I'm shattered. Night one was DS1's fault, he got himself over tired and couldn't sleep so he decided to be a drama queen about it and we had full on panicking and hyper ventilating. Night 2 was disrupted courtesy of DH's snoring and jerky sleep and last night DS2 had nightmares, I think I managed 4 hours tops. So I haven't been in the best mood today. This hasn't been helped by DH saying something then insisting he said something entirely different on more than one occasion today. I'm also supposed to be a mind reader too apparently :mad:.

    Anyway, on a more positive note (to prove Lilt right!), we have had a lovely time at the beach today. We were only supposed to go for a couple of hours this morning and then go food shopping as we were desperate and I had nothing in for lunch/picnic, but we had such a good time we stayed all day. Unfortunately this resulted in a £17.50 spend on fish & chips for lunch :eek: and a further £8 on ice creams :eek:. I then spent £60 on food shopping, I think I need to lie down!!
