    Well Linky I've not seen TBBT but chuckled at the thought of "Sheldon" :) I love it. Pixtotts and Mojo you've got to see the tshirts they are a work of art :) xxx
    b_e_g woooo hoooo go girl! just seen your signature. That's amazing progress :) Superstar. I had to laugh at myself this morning the scales were laughing too, 2lb on haha. I starved with 500 calories for two days but possibly went a little crazy for the other five. Heaven knows what it'd been without the starve days :) Still I've had fun :) I will get it off next week (fingers crossed) xxx
    Mrs M I love the bags, your makes always look so professional. What a beautiful sentiment too. Hope the blood tests went ok xxx
    Newthift oh your hols sound perfect ( thinking about the patisserie has probably made me gain another lb) and quality time with OH, priceless. Bless your Mum, congratulations to her for her amazing support and going the moonwalk. Wow you've a lot of celebrations coming up haven't you, you are going to be kept busy xxx
    Mrs I oh dear what a blooming mix up :( I bet your dear friend was very grateful to have you by her side tho xxx
    b_e_g DH has had many of the 'procedures' you are about to have, stick close to the loo after you've had the drink, the staff on the unit are excellent and will put your mind at ease, they do this everyday, prepare to loose a day. Unfortunately there's no other way to get a good look. Be thinking of you xxx
    Peppa aww those flowers do sound perfect. Hope you soon shift your cold, it's blooming miserable, so many people seem to be suffering recently. I've not seen Philomena, wasn't sure I'd be able to watch it. Heart breaking subject and relatively a short time ago. xxx

    SFAM it's after midnight so happy birthday to DS and DD :) Hope DD is ok today. Sending love and birthday beats xxx

    Hello everybody!

    Hope you are all doing well , hugs all round! I am concentrating on doing my garden and in our garage which used to be dads mini studio , (double glazed painted , carpeted ect) my uncle has agreed to build a mini bar (he is a carpenter) Looking forward to a positive project.
    I am seeing my dad tomorrow. I want to have a lot of positive things this year , I think a lot of it , is getting over what I feel are wrong turns and moving forward. My head has not been great today mainly tonight! Although I did see my gorgeous youngest Goddaughter! She had a rotten cold but remained smile and cracked me up with her funny sense of humour.

    That's all folks :)

    I have to do the 'procedure' before I leave home nanamia and it ain't a drink. :o Just think other end and a tube :eek:. Received a phone call from them while I was in Asda yesterday from them to remind me of my appointment - as if I am likely to forget that. :D

    how posh are you jj - a mini bar ;). Watch out, we'll all be round for cocktails. :D

    Well cuppa and banana are calling.

I am taking friend to hospital appt tomorrow afternoon - she has been told it could take at least 2 hrs and then I have got my appt at different hospital in the evening. Thursday Mums at the drs and then Friday I'm back at drs so he can make sure that the abs have worked. No time to get into any mischief anyway. :D
