Hello Everyone, I've not really been on the OS Board in a long time and, although I have been keeping an eye on this thread, far too much has happened and so please don't be offended by me offering:
1) :grouphug: MASSIVE HUGS :grouphug: to anybody who has felt poorly, has suffered bad news, or is just in need of a bit of a huggle
2) Congratulations and Best Wishes to everybody who has celebrated a birthday, anniversary or new arrival
3) :hello: A big wave to all my friends on this board!
Things have been decidedly rubbish for me recently. OH and I are going through a very bad time at the minute and have even spoken about splitting. We're continuing for the moment but taking it day by day. In terms of OS, I've stayed pretty good - stay within our £100 food & other grocery budget each month and are in a pretty good routine. On track for a neutral spend Christmas which will come in well under my original budget.
Work is work - I enjoy it, but can't wait to see what happens in the next few months - hopefully the company will grow sufficiently for me to be able to take on a more HR role and leave the reception support behind a bit.
I hope everybody is OK. Take care.

And as for Nigella, I know I should count myself lucky the way I am, as my figure's v. similar to Nigella's at the moment, and I know I don't look bad BUT I also know I am at least 2 stone overweight and really unfit so I have to do something about it
