I have absolutely no idea when I last posted. Really not liking the new Forum. Have tried several times to log in and find my way around properly, but keep getting vexed and quitting. Sorry to everyone who’s diaries I normally comment on, I will hopefully catch up soon.So, quick catch up in the Lucky household. It’s currently half term, but we are super skint and haven’t been far. The boys have been happy doing their own thing, but we have also spent time together playing board games and watching films etc, which has been lovely. We’ve had MiL’s dog staying with us so we’ve been doing lots of walking inbetween storms. It’s easier to take him and Oakley out separately, because they walk at different paces and MiL’s dog tends to walk under Oakie Doke when he’s lifting his leg!!! Yuck! At least all the walking helps with the weight loss - I’m up to 2 stone 10lbs off now! Lots of my clothes are big and baggy now, but thankfully I kept the things I’d chubbed out of, so have been able to replace my wardrobe at no expense.
DH has been on a fairly even keel, though has developed a nasty cough over the last couple of days. Will keep an eye on him as things like that tend to upset the applecart so to speak.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Glad you found your way to the new forum. I'm not keen to be honest but persevering.
Well done on the weight loss

Hi Lucky, in agreement regarding new forum, i'm finding it all a bit of a faff and hard work to navigate.
Well done on the weight loss your doing really well. xx

Thanks all.
I use my phone to read/post as my laptop is only really good enough for the tip now. I think that’s the problem, the new forum isn’t mobile friendly, even in mobile mode!!
So, confession time! I nominated the boys for an ITV show (top secret). You had to put the name of a friend down to verify your ‘story’, and they called her up in October and said we were shortlisted. However, we haven’t heard anything back and the show starts again on Saturday (bet you can’t guess which one!
). I’m gutted that we haven’t been contacted and even though there is a slight chance they might still be in touch, my optimism is fading fast. Regardless, it’s spurred on my weight loss, so every cloud and all Xx Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
