congrats on the book pod!

WW - hope you enjoy your course!

LL - The house sounds like its coming along nicely and is in a lovely neighbourhood, i think communities like that are starting to be exception now!

Hewie - look after yourself. xx

Everything is still mental over here, work went CRAZY. The other girl now does even less than diddly squat so I've had to be a one woman department. the whole office is on to her, she has built herself a right old reputation with everyone, and that was from them figuring out her ways all by themselves and me not saying a word prior to them saying they think shes a shirker! booked myself a weeks holiday, slightly looking forward to it being highlighted the hard way to them just how much ive done recently!

Hi all

Thanks for all your replies, they mean a lot xx

As the title says, I have had some good news finally.

I had my post op check on Wednesday and have been given the all clear :j

Also on Wednesday I received a PPI claim refund and lost 2.5lbs at WW, so it was indeed a good day.

Yesterday my brother came home on R&R from the sandy place and only has about 6 weeks left when he goes back and that's it he never has to go there again. I can't wait to see him again.

So, so far the latter part of the week has been quite good.

Fingers crossed for no more bad news.

Oh forgot to say, had a chat with the doctor who reassured me about cancer and gave me a little mot, and as my dad has heart problems checked me over for that. While I'm overweight, due to having low blood pressure and low cholesterol and not smoking, I am at a very low risk of heart problems.:j

Fabness here today - exfoliate, facemask, hair pre wash treatment and hair mask, feet de hardened and nails tidied up and painted. Phew!

Time to crack on with some writing - have reached the halfway point for the dissertation and another 6000 words left to write.

3 weeks to go and I don't want to let go of my fab routine!

Happy Sunday everyone x

Hey all, glad to hear all the good news stories. I've just been maintaining the scrubbing and polish routines that are now pretty much second nature, with a big pampering session on Sunday and Thursday evenings. I've mostly been catching up on a bit of neglected health stuff, been to docs to sort out a couple of niggly things, had my smear test and been to dentists for a clean and polish. Also now really upping my game on the exercise regime over the past couple of weeks and will complete my last run on the second week of Couch to 5 K tomorrow.

I'm a bit over it with the winter wardrobe though and find it hard to be glam, when warm and comfortable are the main priorities for me in the mornings. Hopefully the running will start to pay off and when I finally get to take off some of the winter layers, I might find that there's a reasonably fit and toned body beneath.

Great - full of cold for the last 2 days so not feeling that fab.

Back at work tomorrow as leg wound is healing well, hope this cold clears up quickly. Finished writing the results section of the dissertation 1st draft. Will attempt to redraft it this week then write the discussion section next weekend. Deadline is 3 weeks today - eek!

Not much else to report here apart from this and I hope all is well with you all

Good morning ladies

Just a quicvk log in to say Hi.

I'm back at the old rental house packing the last few bits and bobs and catching up with emails, phone calls etc. No internet at the new place until Tuesday.

Am up to my neck in stuff.......and I'm exhausted!!!!! My poor body is screaming with pain. Physio next week.

Bath is lovely ......as for Johnny Depp well - what can I say except - he's pretty damn lovely too:D

Gotta dash - off to see my mum, haven't seen her for over a fortnight.

Will catch properly next week.

Keeeeeep fabbing.;)

It's hot, too, kids for a picnic and a play and a walk round local lake. I am now ready for a nap :eek: I can't cope with these temps :o
Not loads of fabness, getting ready for hols to Devon at weekend. Looking forward to seeing the sea. That will do my soul a world of good :D:D
Fasting has been a bit hit and miss this week, giving it another go tomorrow. Feel a bit out of sorts, my routine is gone due to kids being at home and I am finding it hard to motivate myself to do anything other than endless tidying (and that's with nagging the kids to pick up their stuff).
Still no official moving date. H is struggling with the travel. Think because he knows end is in sight the adrenaline he's been living on, coping with the travel etc is running out and he's exhausted a weeks holiday is just what we need to recharge the batteries and I can't wait

Threads a bit quiet, hope that means your all having a good summer xx

LL easier said than done but try not to overdo it xx

Sparkles hope your cold is better xx

Hugs and high fives all round x

Cold has turned into a chest infection - boo and another round of antibiotics.

Hey ho, feeling prety rubbish and lots of rest in order
