SSue, an amazing post, and so much support.
Welcome, I’m going to say Chunicorn.., I share the weight struggles. Last year I found a local, that’s the key for me easy to get to exercise class. I haven’t been able to go this year due to a health issue and I am actually missing it. Most important has been it was a bit fun, and made me feel more confident no matter what size I currently am.
I’ve noticed the panic reflected in the shops.
1 Oh my, Aldees hot cross salted caramel buns, warmed ohhh lovely, should have bought more than one pack.
2 The usual bits of cleaning, tidying, washing to try and keep on top of it.
3 Dinner is currently cooking, it will be cawli with turmeric, cayenne cheese sauce and honey glazed pork cut.
4 I’ve found a role I am very keen to apply for, I will spend a little time wording something together later tonight.
5 A moochy day, a candle is lit and I’ve got a Neil Gaimen book to read.

2) rest of sweet and sour chick peas for lunch
3) late at the office so dark when i walked home. phoned xoh and we had a very long phone call filled with a lot of laughter. although it still makes me sad how things worked out, it's good we can still laugh about things

Thank you all for your warm welcomes, Chunicorn.....I like that! I think I'm going to enjoy it here.
Today's pleasures:
1. A day off work with nothing really planned just lots of pottering about
2. Sold 2 things on Ebay - I really must get back into this as I always do a happy dance when something actually sells
3. Watched the film "Mothers Day", it was quite funny and heartwarming
4. My peace was shattered by Mr Unicorn calling to say he was ill and could I collect him from work. Poor sausage. The pleasure was that I was able to and could look after him for the rest of the day
5. Mr Unicorn took himself off to bed early so I've had time to do some online shopping for all the birthdays coming up soon
6. Admiring the flowers I got in Aldi 3 weeks ago that were 30% off. I'm forever hinting to Mr U that I much prefer Aldi flowers to expensive ones but he hasn't managed to find his own way there yet to get me some!10 -

Tiggy waking me up at 4.40am.........for goodness knows what.......she is snoring now but I do really love these quiet hours. Once I am awake that's it......I'm up !
Contemplating, planning the day, sorting out things I can do quietly. And my lovely cups of tea in my favorite mugs. Always a huge pleasure. And my beautiful beautiful hot water bottle. Such a small thing but such a great comfort.
This morning no pain ! That in itself is wonderful, means an active day.
Met some girls for coffee yesterday. It really was a quick meet but we have promised a more leisurely meeting with food next time. I don't know them very well but it looks as if all the pleasure of making new friends is on it's way. It gave me a real boost.
I know this is going to sound silly but after my Murphy died I lost confidence walking Tiggy with other dogs. I don't know why as I have now had her for well over 9 years and apart from the first year where she was almost feral and would become possessive over food, and then me (lots of people thought I would give up) she is a sweetie. Loves people and meeting new dogs. Anyway because the man who walked her for me recently said she was perfectly behaved I took my courage and visited the local park. Loads of dogs, always. There is even a pack known by the locals as the 'gang'. I avoid them as the owners have done silly things and I have personally witnessed one pack fight. Stopped going there after that.
ANYWAY........ (blimey I do go on.....) I took her there the other day, met lots of lovely pooches and had great time. Feel this is a milestone.
To one and all, have a great day.
