    There is not one single person on this thread who wants to take it on! It just goes to show, doesn't it, how much we needed and valued Shaggy's input for all those years, and now how much we appreciate yours, Baileys', now.


    Sounds like you'd appreciate my input again :D


    I'll do the August monthly challenge.....


    Well so much has happened since I last posted. Moved home - took on a renovation that proved to be much more work than we expected and got sooooo stressed. I almost felt I was losing my mind! Still not finished but finally getting there and things are starting to come together and seem worth it.



    ....but I've lost 18 Llbs so that's not bad either....


    Hope you're all good?

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Shaggy! How wonderful to have you back! Yes yes yes to you doing August please!



    Huge congratulations on the 18lbs lost - I'm still struggling with getting rid of a few pounds but I think I am making very slow progress so I know how much self-discipline 18lbs takes. Good on you.


    I'm glad you've got the move over and done with but sorry the stress levels went up.


    20/31 please, Baileys.
    Better is good enough.
