  • Lol SA, me too. My Mum is a different type of Human to us though :o.

    Lost another 2.5lbs at fat club and got my stone award. 16.5lbs in 4 weeks! Quite proud of that :o.

    No NSD yesterday as I visited my Grandma in hospital and had to pay for parking and get more diesel, and today has been chub club and a bit of food shopping. Grandma is starting to pick up now though :T:j.

  • Grandma can go home today :j.

    Feeling a little down in the dumps. DH is continuously babbling and I just can't be bothered. I'm a little worried about money again and I think I'm coming down with something too. Plus I'm covered in spots so I assume hormones are playing up also. Either that or I'm just a miserable moo!

  • Oh dear we all get days like that but it's not very nice when it happens :( You may be over tired, I always feel low when I'm lacking sleep. Hope you feel better soon.

    Good news about grandma :)

  • Thanks Hairy. I feel a bit brighter today. Didn't say so on here, but I'd entered into what I thought was a healthy debate on Faceache, but the other person (relative) got nasty and it really shocked me. I let it bother me more than it should, and thinking about it now that was probably half the problem yesterday.

    Couple of sales on ebay tonight :T. Will sort out profit after posting tomorrow.

    Today has been a NSD.

    Faceache can indeed be just that.
    Always wonder if people would be so nasty face to face.
    I think not but then you never know.

    Sometimes I think I should quit FB but then it's the way I contact friends and upset my workmates when I'm on holiday :) Sorry that the relative felt the need to be nasty xx
