    Lilty just caught up after customary long absence and I am reallllllly hoping that legal thing is resolved! What a liberation that would be.

    I am also hoping jellytot is simple medication fix. A lady from a board I used to post at years ago had a son with really severe reflux issues - for him it was linked to allergies - but took ages to diagnose and he ended up on feeding tube. However now apparently he plays loads of sports and is an energetic delightful pain in the bum :) So hope it is simple and resolvable for you.

    I also have been following a meal plan. I have not lost any weight however, although boyfriend has dropped several pounds. But OHMYGOSh a) the food prep and b) it has blown my mad skillz record of keeping my grocery budget down to £150 per month for two. On the plus side, it has stopped my lunch out binge I had the other week :) and now I've got loads of spending money left!

    Hello Lily I hope you're ok :grouphug: I am the same as you and always tell people what I am thinking. I seem to miss the filter in me that most people have of thinking about what I am going to say first and if it will hurt someone's feelings or if they might take it the wrong way! I say it and then think about it :o ...come back soon!! :)

    Hi guys

    Sorry I've not been around. I've got lots done in my absence :) I did miss this place and my lovely friends :) - for all the PM's, thank you. I haven't caught up yet, or even opened one :eek: so I may be some time in responding. Thanks for all the love though.

    Not really much to report in Liltland. Blew out my diet massively on Friday night and ordered Pizza Hut with Him. I ate a third of a stuffed crust pizza, some nachos, a slice of garlic bread and some warm cookie dough and ice cream. It was amazing, but man I suffered. I was constantly waking up in the night with tummy pains and being sick, and the next day my tummy was in agony :eek:

    Had MIL and MIL's best friend over Saturday afternoon, which was lovely. Friend had bought Jellytot an amazing little blue sparkly monsoon handbag which is just her size! She also put some money in it for her, including a £5 note which jelly proclaimed was 'a card!' and tried to throw away :eek: - so I swapped her all my coins for the note and she was much happier with tonnes of shiny ten p pieces :rotfl: FIL is grumpy because Mil has been twice now on her own steam since she started working 3-8 weekday evenings, and that means he 'can't' come over. What it means is that he doesn't want to bring her on a Saturday so he doesn't come and she gets the train over herself. Or comes with a friend. And he doesn't think once that maybe in all the hours he has free when she is at work, he could come over on his own, despite being told he is welcome any time. Next week is half term and I think they are going to push for Jellytot to go for a sleep over there. It isn't happening. I can't control her vomiting and need to keep her around me because her weight is not going in the right direction. The ranitidine seems to stop her being sick a couple of hours after going to bed and instead I keep being awoken with it at 6am. This isn't fun and is tiring us both out, and the washing machine.

    Have spent a lot of time in the bath, with/without Epsom Salts and with various books. It has been nice. Today has been a giant cook off, while Jelly is at nursery (as she is perfectly fine in the day and they are happy for her to be there!) and getting meals sorted ready for my week at work. I roasted 2 chickens yesterday and have boiled the bones down after stripping the meat off - there is a bag in the freezer, the stock is just letting the fat rise and then a bit more chicken will be added to what came off the bones when I picked through after sieving it. The breast I had with dinner last night and will do the same tonight. Still legs and a whole breast waiting for me to figure out what to do with!

    Jelly and I had an amazing day yesterday. We went to 'Pirate Island' which is the local coastal park here. We played on the pirate shipwreck and then moved on to the giant.. and I mean.. several storeys high giant climbing area with a few slides etc. I taught her to navigate the ladders and step bars and ramps and she was off. Up a few flights, down a huge winding enclosed slide... and off again to repeat. She met a little friend called Tia who was a bit older and I barely saw her after that for an hour + of hard play. Needless to say she was sparkers last night at 6pm!

    Am off to finish folding the washing now and wish harder for my parcel to turn up so I can go to nursery!

    Oh yeah. Mum got a fitbit, so now I keep doing daily and weekend step challenges with her! :rotfl: hence the epsom salts baths. I've been shattered! ;)

    Thank you all for your love and thoughts. I will do my best to get around over the next few days but I have a lot on at the minute so barely pick up the laptop and just head for the bath in my downtime. I'm sleeping better so something is helping me! :)
