  • Thanks for your kindness everyone. We had another outburst yesterday but it's not constant, so that's something I suppose.

    Another 2lbs off this week :j, making 18lbs in 5 weeks.

    It's half term in a few minutes :T:T.

    Well done on the weight loss - go you!

    Sorry to hear Mr Lucky is being a pain :(

    We've got our flu jabs next week, heard some bad reports about this batch, people saying they're unwell after them. Daren't tell Mr SA or he'll be imagining all sorts.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    I was fine with my flu jab.
    8 quid very well spent.

  • Been hiding away a little as DH has continued to be explosive and I have had a few words to say of my own. I've been very down, but I think I forgot to take my happy pill yesterday :eek:, so that won't have helped. Not sure how much more I can take.

    Grandma still in hospital but has a care package in place and will hopefully be allowed home on Tuesday. She was allowed out for a few hours today and Mum brought her to my house which was lovely. For that reason I haven't really needed to go anywhere today and it's been a NSD :T.

  • Ooh, and yesterday I used most of the rest of my Carer's grant to book us all a couple of nights in Edinburgh just before Christmas. Looking forward to that - as long as DH starts behaving!!
