Sorry to hear this Lucky. I hope things improve for all over the next few days.
Not surprised you've fallen off the diet wagon - I'd be downing wine and chocolate with all that to cope with.
Take care

Oh Lucky
Hope the cat and grandma are better soon. Glad DS1 hasn't got any broken bones - shame about his broken heart (he'll soon get over it and move on to the next one!)

Quick update.
Grandma still in hospital but has picked up a bit!
Cat has eaten a little for my Mum after she got back in the early hours :T. She got quite a shock when she saw how thin he was.
DH had a partial seizure last night. He has continued to have waves today and has been quite angry. He's currently not speaking to me so I'm enjoying the quiet!

Bless you SA, thanks.
Been a bit miserable the last few days so have kept myself to myself. No real reason for it, just felt flat and constantly tired. DS1 has continued to be a royal pain in the bot and I feel worn out. All my comfort eating made my IBS symptoms appear again, not to mention a 5lb gain on the scales :eek::(:o.
So, moving on...
Grandma is home and feeling much better :T.
Cat, as far as I know, is fine.
DH is back on the planet :cool:.
Trump is President Elect :eek::eek::eek:.
Confession time.
When I declared myself debt free, I had somehow forgotten about my overdraft. God knows how, as it's rather large. Anyhoo, bank very kindly wrote and told me that they will be charging £3 per day for overdrafts from January, or put plainly, £90 per month!!!! After freaking out, I came up with a battle plan, and I've transferred the overdraft to my 0% credit card. Cue the battle once again to be debt free (proper!).

Waving.
Pleased I got to the end of catching up to hear good news about Grandma and cat.
Life is a roller coaster, and you can get back into healthy eating habits when it is appropriate, you've done it before and if we stayed on the best path, life would be boring and you wouldn't appreciate when you achieve something.
Well done for taking ownership re overdraft... you can do itAs a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or

Sorry to read you've been feeling flat - I go through stages when I feel like that and it's a horrible feeling.
Well done for sorting out the overdraft - what extortionate charges!!!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
