    Evening :)

    Just been up to say goodnight to DS2 and had the following good news.

    'Mum, you forgot to put my banana I'm my school bag today. It's ok though, you are nearly 44 and you can't be expected to remember everything the way you used to. You know how your eyes are getting bad and that's why you need glasses? Well, that's deterioration and the same thing is happening to your brain cells. It's normal. Soon you will be developing wrinkles because your skin will lose elastic and you might become a little deaf and need false teeth'

    Guess who's been on Wikipedia again :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sometimes you don't need the truth! :o

    FC, you need to read this reassuring article about when we reach our cognitive peak. Young readers will be pleased at what they find in the first few paragraphs and us patinet plodders wil be reassured by the message at the end.

    Hats:eek:

    Oh my goodness. I've never even thought of that

    Are hats worn Tinyshoes?

    Congratulations to DD2......well done

    I would say no to hats at a graduation. I have had 2 ( graduations, not hats :D) and never saw many hats in the audience. Im not saying there were none, but they were in the minority.

    Ggggggg@ebay. Just had a buyer get in touch and open a case against me, 51 days after I sold them something, saying they have not received it. I obviously dont have tracking info any more as you only need to keep it for 45 days, and he had left me positive feedback. The item is only cheap, and if he had told me at the time, I could have sent him another, no problems, but I have none left now................Grrrrr, rant over!!!

    Get in touch with Ebay. I think 51 days waiting for an item is too exsessive and they know the system. Gimme a link, I'll check them out. :)

    Hi my little cherub. How are you?

    Thanks so much for asking, I am still here. Not been posting much as I am an embarrassment to the 5:2 club. I've tried my very best but I just can't do the 600 calories thing. I've really tried but I just struggle so badly. The headaches are a killer and my hay fever has been quite bad lately too.

    Having said that, I have cut the junk out and it's more or less 2 salads a day, shed loads of mint and fennel tea and no collections of crisps/pizza/pop whilst in bed. Weirdly enough, I have dropped 2 more lb so that's a total of 4 lb since I started.

    How are you faring and how are the others doing? Hope everyone is seeing some improvement. If not, I am sure in time you will see results.

    Well done mimi 4lbs is great. :)

    Mimi. You are a star:staradmin

    4lbs is a lot. Don't do yourself down. Headaches can sometimes be a sign of dehydration. Are you drinking plenty water?

    Congratulations:)

    Thanks my little lovely. You are too kind. How are you anyway? Hope all is good in your world. :D

    I am drinking plenty of fluids but I reckon it's the sugar rush I am missing out on. Normally I go through at least 2 litres of pop whilst at work. That's what I am missing. I guess I could have fruit along with it's natural sugar but fruit is soooooo boring! Booohoo.

    Cheers Scamps, I have checked him out, does look honest enough, and to be fair, it was a VERY cheap item. I wont have to repay after this long, but may give them something or other to keep everyone happy. I would hate to shaft him if he is being honest. And there was enough profit in the item to send another and still be in profit ;)
