Good morning everyone!

Went out on our bikes again yesterday - really saddle sore this morning :eek: DD was out sleeping at a friend's house, and didn't get in until 2pm. The friend's parents had gone out leaving the girls enough to get themselves lunch, but they decided to come back here and get me to make it :rolleyes:

DH and I have decided on patio plags, so I need to call the builder today. The area was completely overgrown, so needs properly levelling, and DH thinks it's beyond him. We'll then put grass in and some beds. Can't wait to start the planting :T

Have lots of house jobs to do.

As requested - photos of the waistcoats that I made for DH and DS:





Have a great day, Penny. x

Morning everyone
pen pen those waistcoats look fab
frogga listen to your dh and stop doing yourself down if you are really worried about your weight talk to your gp about it he/she may be able to help
(((((hugs)))))to all those who have had a bad night
I feel for all those who have to go shoe shopping dd needs new school shoes and trainers but she does't go back to school until the 10th sept as she's not allowed out until the 8th so I will get them that weekend so I will have missed the crowds and mad rush plus she likes shoes so it's not hard when we have to go
I have to go to the doctors this morning and I kind of know what he's going to say I have needed a couple of minor op's for ages but I've managed to put them of unfortunatley I can't any longer so that will be sorted today
not sure whats for dinner
I haven't got much washing to do and ds1 has said he will start on mount ironmore for me
have a good day
:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: to all

Morning All

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I've put an offer in on a flat, so hopefully I should hear today if it's been accepted or not.

Had no sleep last night as my dog decided to spend the entire night barking:mad:

I've got a thumping headache and I'm longing to go back to sleep. Not the best of starts to the week!!!

Got lots of narky emails in my work inbox - stuff them. Can't be bothered.

Hope everyone's ok - sorry for being grumpy

P Penguin ~ you clever !!!!!!! They look brill!!

Mrs Mix ~ good luck at the doctors hope all goes well

I have spoken to my GP about my weight and He is smashing. basically I binge eat and I can stop it as I have done it before. He is very encouraging and said the thing about "asking for a helping hand and that's the hand on the end of your arm. " Someting like that anyway , Mark Twain , I think!

I'll just get this week with my friends out of the way and then I'll really start on Sat 1st. I'll have to change my little signiture wont I ?:rotfl:

Morning all

I had a bad night last night, Having had a mild pain in my chest for 3-4 days i thought i had pulled a muscle!

Yesterday afternoon it started to get worse when i was breathing so hubby took me (kicking and screaming with protest) to a+e

Luckily they didnt mess around when i got there and was seen straight away.

They used me as a pin cushion for a couple of hours taking lots of blood, doing an ecg and a whole mean of other tests.

I coped ok with this ( a few tears) i absolutely hate hospitals! but then they told me they were admitting me and i lost it.

Once they had used scare tactics and told me they thought i had a blood clot on my lung, i gave in and allowed them to admit me....until i got to the ward.

I know it wasnt the other patients faults and i felt sorry for every one of them in there, but they put me on a ward full of 80+ year old men.

As soon as i sat on my bed the old man in the bed opposite bless him pulled his trousers down and pulled out his catheter, then the guy in the next bed started moaning and shouting and being abusive.

I got so stressed out at being there i decided to discharge myself.

Luckily my bloods etc came back normal. My temp was up a bit and my heartrate was racing (but i think that was more due to the fact i was in hospital)

Eventually the consultant let me discharge myself against medical advice but i have promised to go and see my gp this morning.

Well that was my eventful bank holiday, i hope others had better ones :rotfl:

Will check back when i get back from the gp and catch up with all the gossip.

What a surprise, its dull here in Manchester. Hope you are all OK ((((hugs)))) to all who are feeling blue.
I've got to clean madly this morning as Big Sis is coming, not that she would be nasty, but house is in a state as its near the end of hols and I have given up trying.

JULIAPENGUIN hope uni application goes ok in Salford, what subject are you thinking of?

Am sat here in my PJs looking a site but have decided to give the house a quick blitz before my shower then I'm off to town for coffee with my Mum at the WI. My sister has a job interview today so fingers crossed for her, she's been looking since June when her and her partner moved here from East Sussex.
Later need to mow the lawns and then am visiting my friend for a natter and to swap books as we both love to read the same type of books.

Have a good day all, will be checking in regularly to catch up

take care xxx

Hi Deirdre,
There is a problem , but it's not medical! It's definitly all in my head!1 For those of you that haven't read before I've had various eating dissorders for years! Tried them all ~ was annorexic at high school for a while after my Dad left home with my Mums best friend.

ran away from home and got married to my DH and was OK ish food wise for a while

stayed relativly normal weight through my 20's but only by stuffing then vomiting!

Now I still do the stuffing but don't do the vomiting bit so hence the weight gain!:rotfl: :rotfl:

It really does get me down sometimes but I have to remind myself that I can overcome it. My DH says everyone has something that they use as a crutch , some smoke , some drink , some do drugs , food is just my thing I guess. I WILL get over it though , just looking forward to starting on Sat xxxx

Good morning everyone,

Back to work for me today, so ive been up since 6 this morning, and im exhausted already. Had a really bad nights sleep, if i had known csarina was up, i couldve joined her!!!
Anyway, decided ive been feeling down for too long, so going to have a better day today - i only have 1 lo here today (back to work gently) and its lovely to see her again.
Im determind to get back up straight with my housework, so thats my plan for today - and also make some cakes, the lo can help there, she always likes cooking with me (and DD as well).

Frogga - im glad you have seen your gp and will be getting support there - if there is anything any of us can do to help i hope you will let us know.

DeDe - no, bbq was cancelled as my friend had another offer!!!

JuliaPen - fingers crossed for your uni application.
