  • Evening all, hope everyone has had a lovely Bank Holiday.

    Oakley is a changed dog already :j.

    Struggled through work feeling ill, but managed and finally started feeling human again yesterday :T.

    Won £4.80 on euromillions, so need to move that to holiday pot. Sold 2 items on eBay also, so will have more to add because of that after I post them tomorrow.

    We went to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 yesterday, using cinema vouchers I still have from scanning people. Great film, was good to have a laugh.

  • Thanks Pooh Xx

    £12 added from eBay sales after fees/postage. Florida pot now stands at £274.20. Creeping up slowly! My Sister has given me a few bits to sell too, with anything I make from them to go towards holiday spends :A.

  • Got my stone award last night :T. Skin of my teeth though, as only just lost enough to get it bang on. Need to pull my finger out this week, now that I'm better enough to exercise etc.

    Changed our bank account type today, still with the same bank but a cashback type account. Should hopefully clear about £7 per month if calculations are correct. It all helps!

    Found 10p today :D. Will add that to Florida pot next time I have something else to add too.

    DH has been very repetitive today. Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh :o.

  • Feeling very down tonight so sorry if this is a miserable post. DS1 told me that a boy at his school was making fun at my expense. Apparently there was an obese man on the bus, and this boy likened him to me. Some other pupils told DS1 about it and he had a go at the boy. I'm gutted that I've been the source of it, and feeling very down about how I must look, but also hurt as I've done a lot for this particular boy too. It doesn't help that I've had a few naughty treats the last couple of days and feel extra miserable about that now :(.

    DH has been better, but 'wavy'.

    Absolutely no way could you be ever classed as obese. I've seen photos of you and know this is not so. I'm sorry DS1 has had to be subjected to this abuse at the hands of such an ignorant child. It gets me so angry that people think they can make such comments without looking at themselves in the mirror first. is this child perfect - I bet not. Lucky please do not take this to heart, these are the words of ignorance. Honestly words fail me :( So angry on your behalf :(

    Young people can be so bleeping cruel.
