Nan- Thank you lovely , well done for choose some "me time" with your BFF . Cooking and cleaning can wait but every deserve a small amount of pleasure each day! xx
MRSI- The wedding was all afternoon and evening too! The ceremony was quite long and my friend had her two little ones with her 5 and 18months , only once did I leave the church with the little baby as she tried climbing the bench and fell off bless her. Then we had sit down meal and drinks followed by the receptions , I ached and was shattered by the end. Plus my head started hurting. But otherwise it was a beautiful dry day!

I had a rubbish start to the day yesterday though! My dad arrived to take me to friends for the wedding where he announced he is getting married in October Its very complicated and I am pretty cut up about it. Hey ho!

Sorry to hear people are not having the best of times I'm sending healing vibes. Just to let omo know that her super human organisational abilities are spurring me on and I'm making headway in my own life . . . . Right down to slowly replacing my hangers you are right it don't half make a difference. I've seen beg on the slimming world thread which has prompted me on to actually change my eating habits rather than just read and think about it. I brought the talking santas for a secret santa at work. But accomplished little else. Dd will be nearly 10 and I don't know what she will be into. We're between crazes right now. I'm sure there was a saying on last year's thread something to wear something to read something you want something you need . . We shall see eh! Free spirit the challenges are fab it's the daily exercise I fail on. Take care all x

Mojoworking I'm glad you are finding the hanger thing useful. Most of the people I know think I'm nuts. :rotfl:

Me and dd have just spent the last 2 hours counting pennies from our old biscuit barrel. £59.87 in total. Although only £42 can be banked. The 20p and 10p have to be in £10, and we don't quit have enough of either. Some pennies had to go back as we didn't have a £1 of any.
But that is another £42 to add to the CV pot. Also sold another couple of bits today. I should have nearly another £40 coming in this week. Will update sig in a minute.

Please tell me if I start to bore you, but I really am so excited.

Evening everyone,

Oh what a day DD1 phoned me at 6am this morning crying, she was doing the Moonwalk in London, she felt ill and hurt this was mile 12, her so called friend had bu**ered off and left her at mile 2, so she had no support, so i gave her words of encouragement, of course i couldnt get back to sleep for worrying, she then text about 8am saying just done mile 17, so again i bolstered her up, then get a text at 10.30am saying the paramedics had stopped her from carrying on, she was vomiting and couldnt stop crying and had seized up where it was so cold, this was mile 21 1/2, she was inconsolable as she really wanted to finish it, but they said no, and wrapped her in the space blankets and took her back in the ambulance to the medical tent apparently from what DD1 has said and what i have read on internet it was a shambles at the beginning, it was bottlenecked so no one was hardly moving it was taking 20 mins to cross the road and took 3 hrs to do 6 miles, course where they had all warmed up they were getting cold from hardly moving, DD1 said they were dropping like flies, such a shame because over 3 million has been raised. So now i am shattered, i was baking cakes at 6.15 am :rotfl::rotfl:and had the tumble and washing machine on.

OMO you are totally not boring us with your fab ideas, and so sorry about BFF, she is still in my thoughts and prayers

MOJOWORKING i am failing the walking at the moment, i get 10 percent leeway each month and i am using that for the walking and exercise, its because the nights are lighter i get embarrassed people seeing me :eek:

JJ sorry you were upset about your dad, sending hugs x

b_e_g it's a deal feel free to give me a push if I'm not keeping up. I have slightly managed a little motivation today tho. So here's hoping. We've a wedding in August DN has plans to start with breakfast and keep going right through (I may well break for a snooze mid afternoon)Today at least I managed to cut and fold the card for the invites- yippee it's a start. Weigh in tomorrow for me too, I've stuck to the fasting days but pigged out the other five so not hoping for great news this week! Hope yours is better. I keep meaning to say are you drinking plenty of water makes a difference with all your extra fibre xxx
Mrs I or Mrs Gadabout as I may well rename you the favours sound fab, what a lot of word for the bride. We need to get you another adding photo lesson booked! Hope the skyping went well. Just had a chat with DS, missing him like mad at the mo still only 169 sleeps till I get a hug xxx
Festive Princess aww bless you! what a blooming way to start such a lovely day. Sending love and hugs xxx
Linky what a fab idea! wow how quickly that signature has mounted up. Go you Sorry there's been no good news yet about BF, let's hope her body is quietly healing. Why on earth would you be boring us??? We share good news and bad xxx
Mojoworking who'd have thought changing coat hangers would feel so good. Ha. I can hardly recognise myself. Did you get one of those foldy things that Linky put the link up for too. Oh my goodness I love it. I do have a weird love of ironing, have no idea how I've managed to get to 49 without it. I'm like a child in a sweet shop Long may Linkys organisation continue to rub off on us xxx
SFAM goodness me. How awful for DD no wonder you couldn't settle after that. Are they home now? I did google the bee sting cake but I steer clear of bread doughs for fear of addiction How did it go? Yep I'm interrogating again. You must be shattered night night xxx

I call mine Sheldon after TBBT !

If anyone heard me ask one of the kids to get it for me they would think I had a butler locked away!

" Dd, can you get Sheldon please, I need a few shirts folding ! ' :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Good luck for wi today - mines tonight. Mum has been telling me not to expect too much this week with not being well and taking the antibiotics - I think its just what we mums do isn't it. I have been good foodwise but activities not so much. I struggle with drinking lots of water but I am trying.

Got some paperwork to go through before bowel screening on wed. Just bunged it in the cupboard (bit like an emu - cannot see it therefore its not happening) but I believe it has a consent form I need to read and sign. They've also sent a package so that I can prepare before having procedure - tmi for this time of the morning

Have a good day everyone.
