Right

That is me over and out. A bit of stressful day but DH and I have been OS - apart from cleaner coming in. GB a bit lax with the housework bit. I do do ironing mountains and buying bargains.

Love and hugs to all and thanks for the thanks about Mum. Glad today over as this has been ongoing for weeks. Just phoned my cousin to tell her latest. She is meeting an internet date this weekend and she is a year younger than me - 56!!!!!!!!!!

Hope for us all still.

Love to all and let's have a better day tomorrow.

Evening all,

Had to go to Dublin this morning (I hate cities!!) and then my blood pressure dropped to zilch on the way home so I went to bed and slept for hours...fine now.

I have an aversion to the work 'clique' as to me it denotes a group out to get people in the worst way...I may be wrong but not the first time. Since I started posting here it has been obvious to me that there are people who hit it off better with some than with others...this is a fact of life as there will always be people in your circle of acquaintance that you like better than others...could you say why?? Not me! Right so are we all agreed that there are no cliques on OS?? All together now....yes Marie!

I think that the thing which has offended/upset/annoyed other posters about the weight thingy has been that there were 28 posters who would most days mention diet/overeating/weight loss. I would agree that there are many things mentioned which would be of no interest to me (football for one) I have never felt that I should take offence at the mention...this is a large part of someone else's life and they are entitled to talk about it. The rather rambling point I am trying to make is that there are not 28 people talking about the same thing......All together now......correct Marie!

I refuse to feel left out/thrown out/unwanted by the guides' and others reaction to Frogga's challenge...anyone wants me out they will have to come all the way here to get me, I am getting too much out of the friendships I have made here and those friendships still to come......All together now.....Yes Marie.

Right, as Twink has said I expect to see you all here to-morrow....all together now....Yes Marie.

JackieO...glad to hear that you are no longer a one-armed bandit and that you have bounced (or is that too energetic at our age??) back to your usual self.

PenPin...hope that you have improved as the day has gone on

GrannyB...glad to hear that your mother has finally had her op

Hugs to Alibob...think to-morrow is her C-section day

I have I am sure left out lots of people I should have mentioned so hugs to them.

Speial thoughts to Anniestar, Queenie, Smokybabe and her family and all others in any kind of stress.

See you all to-morrow

Marie

Night all and hope you are all back with us tomorrow.

Frogga,

Don't go, i love reading your posts, i rarely post on the OS board as i don't feel i have anything to contribute, but i read it everyday and i love your posts, i was gonna ask if i could join the weight loss challange as i got weighed today and i put on a llb but i guess its too late. Please keep posting and don't let this get you down,this has happened before, every few months a row kicks off because someone isn't posting OS stuff so it's nothing personal, but i agree with you weight loss this way is old style as we aren't spending money at a club, keep you chin up and please post again.

OK. last post from me.

Marie...No one has tried to "get anyone out"

Some of us felt that the daily was simply becoming the weight loss challenge thread when things like the pms challenge and flylady are discussed on other threads.

This was never anything personal and I am refuse to accept the accusations that because some of us have spoken out we are responsible for setting people's weight loss back and upsetting them. As Gingham pointed out we are all responsible for our own actions.

For those who believe that there is an "anti-feeling" to frogga or her weight loss challenge,speaking for myself, you are wrong and frogga and I have spoken about this.

Anyway it's late and I feel like !!!!!! so I'm off to bed. I hope no one stops posting over this and likewise I hope those who have stopped posting come back.

I never intended to say that I have ever felt unwanted but someone else did earlier and I was trying to make the point that the only person who can stop anyone from using this thread is oneself...sorry Haribo that you seemed to take it that I felt that someone was trying to get someone out...oh god...my head is wrecked, we are all individuals and dont think alike on everything and the difference is what makes this world better for any of us....GO TO BED MARIE! ok, ok

Love, Marie

HariboJunkie

Sorry Marie. I just didn't want anyone to feel pushed. I'm sure that has been no one's intention. Methinks we all need sleep.

Sleep well and I'm glad your blood pressure is up again. You should have come on here earlier... That would have done the trick.

just popped in to see how everyone is .... oh dear .... well anyway hugs to everyone who needs them today and congrats to those with good news to share.
OSwise I managed to get exoh to pay for the shopping tonight by coming over all wierd at w*rk and having to leave early and then collapsing on sofa for an hour or two. Gave him a shopping list but was to ill to give him the money - ooops. He has taken middle dd to see Faithless at brixton academy so I'm going to bed before he comes in all hyper and happy from night out. The girls at w*rk think I might be starting the menopause as I went all hot and crampy but it turned out to be an upset tummy - phew. Still managed to drag myself up to sort out dd's clothes for recycling, bake two loaves and knit another half a sock - well done me!

Technically, it's now tomorrow but that's only because I popped on here to have a quick read and ...well you've read the rest.

I always thought that this thread was a mix of our o/s news, family news, a place to moan, a place to come for a hug etc. It's gotten a bit heavy here today so please don't anyone leave...

My o/s news today is that I cleaned the whole house and cooked a lovely shepherd's pie for tea.
My 'other' news is that I helped out at our weekly church Drop-In this morning. We calculated that we raised over £1200 last year for various charities just by chatting, eating buns and drinking tea! :j

I'm in work tomorrow, DD1 had Guides and I've got to go to a late meeting at church so there won't be much o/s in my life tomorrow.
Hope everyone feels better in the morning.
