    Wow 33 tablets, he must rattle! You've got a fab sister to come to your rescue. My mum used to be the same with me when the kids were young and we were forever skint. Hope Mr Lucky is ok, damn brain injuries, Mr SA is the same, it can be quite worrying at times. Big hugs xx

  • Thanks for all the positive messages. DH seems more himself now, just still getting words muddled up etc. He had verbal diarrhoea yesterday and it was hard to keep up with wrong words meaning it didn't really make sense.

    DH lost 7lbs at fat class on Tuesday and I lost 3lbs. How is that fair?!?! :rotfl:. It meant DH won the Slimmer of the Week basket though AND I won the raffle which was a £10 hamper of fruit and veg :D. That, along with the big shop I did incase of snow, means I can hardly shut the fridge door :rotfl:.

    We had winds of 75mph on Tuesday night, and lost a few trees in the village. It's been snowing lightly today, with more forecast later. Feels like winter has arrived!

    Today has been a NSD so far, hoping it will stay that way.

    Fantastic weight loss :j:j ...full of admiration
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

  • Second NSD in a row! Can't remember the last time that happened!!

    Woke up to a blanket of snow and the journey to DS1's school, which usually takes 25 minutes in heavy traffic, took over an hour :eek:. DH and I stayed in this morning after school drop off/dog walk, and watched the film 'Sully' on the android box. Excellent film, recommend it. We watched Miss Perrigrine's home for Peculiar children the other day too, which was also worth a watch.

    Made soup for lunch using some of the lovely veg we won :T.

    Snow has all but melted now, hope everyone is staying safe and warm Xx

    Wow to those wins...

    Bet its snowing proper now up with you...we had a dusting, but everyone went to school.. Pretty chilly though. Will be trying to wrap the chooks up warm (although not always easy to entirely close their coop door).
