  • Would it help to have pillow/s around your knee in bed so when you move it isn't so jarring?

    Happy 10th birthday to little miss! Has she chosen where to have the meal out or is she letting you decide?

    Thank you :)  I tried using pillows but they didn't really help.  It's still improving though so it will get there.

    She wants to go to a specific chain restaurant, it's only round the corner and not expensive.

    Another item sold yesterday so I've padded that today :)  My items are selling much better than I expected, and the ones I really didn't want and thought would be difficult to shift are actually the items that sold first :)

    Little miss had a lovely day yesterday.  I had a day off plan yesterday, so am expecting it to show in water retention!

    Good news on the sales, sometimes hard to predict what will sell but a joy when the unexpected goes flying out the door  :D

    1/2lb off today.  Happy with that but annoyingly still 1/2lb away from 2.5 stone!  I can't seem to get past that one.  I'm not going to stress though, there's loads going on, I like Christmas food,  and if I can get to the new year in roughly the same place, then that will be a bonus!

    I've booked us a table, we are going at lunchtime as there is an online event that little jwil wants to be on later.  I'm happy with that, as I prefer to have a main meal at lunchtime anyway as I eat less the rest of the day.

    DH is back on the pile of stuff again.  I have told him I'd like to get the decorations up this weekend so it needs to be gone!

    Glad DH is back on the pile. Hopefully he will get it moved. That said my house currently looks like a bomb has hit it. Ooops.
