Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

Fab news on the lottery :T:T - What are you going to use it for - a treat for you, you/and the family - focus being you!

Remember alongside the joy of Christmas is the stress to live up to all the ritual and expectations, together with an OH who is not able to fully share that load with you, as much as I am sure he would want to.

January the month to focus on looking after you. I liked Rev Richard Coles on Radio 2 yesterday who on Pause for thought was talking about New Years Resolutions - making changes (giving up smoking) is focusing on self hatred and fear where as Ephihany talks about hope not fear.

So this New Year, I wish you much hope for the future, that life is never smooth, but needs a good dollop of hope and happiness.

Well done on the 4.5lb loss and the £25 gain Hope you get the B12 issue sorted. I've started taking vitamin D tablets since I've been confined indoors by the ankle, just in case.

Thanks Beanie, BM and SA :A.

I used £12 of the £25 lotto win to buy myself some new wellies for taking the dog out. Mine were letting in water and I was supposed to buy myself some more with some of my Christmas money, but that got swallowed up on December living costs. Still need to 'pay myself back' more when I can.

Yesterday was supposed to be a NSD. Grandma paid for the drinks at the cafe lunchtime, and we didn't go anywhere else yesterday. However, at work they were selling £7 dog Christmas treat stockings for 75p which I couldn't resist, as the edible stuff alone would cost £4 for me to buy separately without the toy. As I was already shopping I got some more bits on my list and ended up spending £24 :eek:. Today however will be a NSD without fail!!

wellies are a must with an active puppy like you've got! I've been through a couple of pairs already this 6 months of ownership - she likes to chew mine hahaha!

The stockings sound like a bargain wish I could grab a couple haha xx

Another NSD here. Not difficult when you wake up in a blind panic just after midnight, having somehow realised in your sleep that the mortgage was due today and you don't have enough to cover it. I honestly don't know what's the matter with me just now, I'm never like this normally :eek:. Panicky text to my Sister and bless her she transferred the money straight to my account to cover my shortfall. I'll transfer it back tomorrow when DH's PIP arrives.

All came good in the end

Three cheers for sister, how lovely to have that support x

I don't know what I'd do without her BM!! Transfered the money back to her this morning.

DH is not having a good morning . He couldn't remember where he keeps his tablets (despite taking 33 of them a day!!), and when he tried to ask DS1 for help (I was in the shower), he couldn't remember his name to get his attention . He says he went totally blank for a while after that :eek:.

Dentist for a check up in an hour so hopefully he'll be ok for that, and then I think we will probably stay in for the afternoon to see how he goes. Chub club tonight if he's well enough, and DS1 needs collected from a party at 7.15pm. So a busy day of nothing if you see what I mean!

Snow forecast for the end of the week, so planning a fairly large shop today or tomorrow just incase we get snowed in. Our village can get cut off it's really bad. The kids are desperately hoping it will be bad enough not to go to school .

Disturbed sleep, panicky, loss of memory, etc.

Honey, I'm calling peri-menopause.

Hope things calm down in the PLMBL household soon.
