freespirit congrats on still managing to complete some of your challenges despite feeling so poorly hope you feel better soon
nicki what is dd into? maybe some kind of activity pass/voucher? have you asked her what she'd like? I know it sounds obvious but I know half the time I get stuff based on what I think they'd like.

hoping to finally get to the shops today and see what if any bargains are left

omo that friend of your mother has one main problem, the fact that she is a friend of your mother. After the NYD incident don't even allow these people your time of day, just walk by with your head held high knowing the truth. Much love xx

Just wanted to pop in and send hugs to everyone. And, if you need it, there's plenty of my Baileys to go around! I've even made brownies and they're magic ones-calorie free! Help yourself...:)

I take it you don't mean that you've made Baileys Brownies? Now that really would be a treat! How are they calorie-free then, that sounds intriguing!

I'm assuming that she means they're virtual brownies because if she has a recipe for 'real' calorie-free brownies she'd be a millionaire....

I'll take one anyway to have with my coffee ta muchly

Morning everyone, hugs to those who are having a hard time at the moment and luuuuurrrrvvvveee vibes to JJ :smileyheayou deserve it sweetheart

CAITLYN lovely to see you on, sorry you had such a carp day at work, dont worry that you ended up crying, we all have our limits and im not surprised yours was reached after sticking up for the little b**** all this time, i would totally forget it and let it go over your head she isnt worth crying over, you know you did a great job and so do your boss and colleaues. I hope your sis gets some answers after what she went through. I love the idea of celebrating all the other festivals with food etc its fantastic.

NANAMIA Please dont apologise about being upset the other night, it wasnt silly, you wanted to talk to DS and because of technology you couldnt, how is DH? I did make bread and actually i really enjoyed it, i usually use a breadmaker, the kids loved it so it must have been ok haha. I love that quote and it is so true, i have saved it to my laptop OMG dead posh hehe my mum was only 17 when she had me and single, we lived with my nan and aunty til i was 6, yes im sure i was about 3, i remember tv was only on so long every day otherwise you got that awful picture of the girl with the clown and that piercing sound. Like OMO i dont remember a lot about my childhood i have blanked it out but some things really stand out
MANDCO and BLOOMINGTASTY sending you both hugs at this difficult time
BETSIE im so sorry about your friend, you must be terribly shocked, sending you hugs
MRSINVISIBLE hope you hear back from the insurers quickly, they are quick enough to take your money arent they, no wonder you are feeling drained and sleepy you have had a lot on and been busy busy these last few weeks
OMO i didnt read anything about NYD either, im sorry if i missed it, i hope you and the kids werent too upset whatever happened, i am assuming it was to do with your mum, keep strong.

LOL! I take it several nights of carp sleep is actually catching up with me more than expected then :rotfl:
In my half-asleep brain's defence, my MIL recently made some tasty almost-good-for-you brownies using a slimming world recipe, so maybe I was getting sidetracked by that?

Nobody missed it. I didn't post about it. Didn't want to start the new year on a downer.

You're welcome. And yes, I'm afraid they're calorie free because they're only virtual ones.

Lack of sleep will do many weird things to you! Sorry they're not real ones. I do have real ones, but they're in the freezer where I won't scoff them all in one day. Might try one with baileys poured over the top at the weekend. That sounds yummy...

My corset should be delivered today. :j
