    Well done on the fab weight loss and you are NOT a munter. Please stop being so down on yourself xx

    We didn't get any snow here but we had hard frost that made it white all over. Cold though. Roll on summer :)

    If I were you a lot more words than munter would have popped in my head first. Strong, determined, patient, kind, loyal, a fantastic debt buster and that's just for starters. Positive thinking about yourself from now on please :D xx

  • Hi all,

    Been lying low for a few days. Don’t really know why, just been in a bit of a funk and not really wanting to post as I knew it would just sound miserable. Anyway, onwards and upwards.

    Feeling better today as
    1) I lost 1.5lbs at fat class and got my half stone award :j. Pleased with that for week 2.
    2) I’ve just logged in to MSE and found 2 lovely messages. Thank you both Xx
    3) MiL is helping us buy a new (to us) car :A:A:A. Picking it up next week.

    Tomorrow my wonderful Grandma turns 84 so we are going out for a family lunch :A. Taking DS1 to a go-karting party first at 10am in the morning so a busy day all round. Good stuff Xx

    You are most definitely not a "munter" PLMBSL and don't forget we have all seen you on TV. This time of year is depressing I always think. As HHOD says be kind to yourself.

    You have a lovely MIL to buy you a new car.
