    Hi, I'm going to come back again if that's OK - the house is a tip and I really really want to get it sorted; if I'm left to my own devices I don't do anything so need a fluffy mule aimed at my backside from time to time!!

    :j Hello all. Hope you've had a good week. Thanks for last week bossy and for this week Natty

    5 weeks now. I feel so much better. I've turned into the Energiser Bunny on speed this weekend (helped by the fact that MIL was popping round this evening). Kitchen has been sparkled so I should manage some of the higher levels tomorrow. DH even helped run the hoover around the ground floor:D

    Preparing for DH going away Thursday to Tuesday. It will be the first time I am alone since stopping. I'm lining up lots of meetings in case, and tried the new ones out this week so I will have a familiar face when I go. Lots of phone numbers - and this time I'm actually phoning them rather than ignoring them or just texting. It's getting easier. There are loads of lovely people - one lady gave me a lift home on Wednesday despite it being in the opposite direction from where she lives!:A

    (((hugs))) to all. Hope you had a great solstice LW and that you are enjoying your furry friend.

    Morning all. Thank you for the lists.

    Not done a lot this weeken as wanted to chill a bit. Have had a busy couple of weeks and really busy this week and the weekend.

    Today I'm home so will get quite a bit done. Need to pop to the bank. I'm having one of those dusk till dawn lamps fitted on Wednesday.

    Welcome to newbies and returners.
  • Morning all
    Thanks for the lists Natty I am in - still clearing stuff from everywhere it was deposited when we came back on Sat! Two washer loads done and another ready to go.
    My priority this a.m. is HHI x as many as needed!!


    Iona - I was looking forward to Tues weigh-in after I snook on the scales here at 4.30 a.m as all had disappeared quite magically - however at a normal getting up time I have lost only 2 of the 7 I think I have put on!!! Another very strict day for me then today and I'll hopefully still be within target range - fingers crossed please!!!


    Not going to get chance to read back on a week and a half of the threads that I've missed so hugs sticks and spoons to anyone needing them and welcome all newbies.


    I want to be a Duracell bunny on speed today too but the mossie bites are making me feel groggy!!


    Catch up later. x
