    Hi Julia,
    Don;t worry, I am sure that this time next week you wil have left most of your worries behind, but I do understand what you mean with the 'what ifs'. At least tomorrow you'll know how much further everything is and as for your car, at least he is looking at it thouroughly and not doing a shoddy half a job so it will be fine for the long term.

    I am thinking of you, I keep checking in - especially when I see that it is you that has posted. Just think where you were this time last week and the week before just to see how far you have come. No-one expects you to feel happy and smiling all the time so please do not feel you have to, and if you feel down then let it all out else you'll feel worse. You know we are all here to listen.

    Love for now xx

    Thanks BM - as you know only too well the 'what ifs' are awful aren;t they?

    I have decided to go and see CAP contact this morning after I've dropped the twins at school so hopefully that will be good news to share with you all later:confused: .

    Got car back last night but its still not 'pulling' properly and there is still a slight misfire - Dave said when he dropped it off that it had been fine but had just started to 'play up' again as he dropped it off, so its going back in again today:o

    Thanks Anna, hope your cold sore isn't too painful!

    My contact from CAP is back in the office tomorrow so I will be ringing him to confirm how everything is going and when we can move in - hopefully. It all still seems like such an uphill struggle so a moving date would at least set my mind at rest, then there is arranging of delivery of my furniture from storage and the unpacking of it all again. Can't wait to be settled and able to cope with everyday life and to feel better, then get a part time job not only for the extra money but to have an outside interest from just homelife. Have chased my steroid injection for my hip this morning and apparently it should be within a couple of weeks, so after that providing it works then I can start to exercise again and lose some of this awful weight that I have put on too.

    There you go again, running before you're walking. Planning ahead! Hope all goes well with CAP and you get a moving date soon. Good that you are thinking about part time work, but wait until everything is sorted. Your health is more important and you don't want to knock yourself out. Weight gain??? Don't worry about exercise. If you haven't done any for a while, take it easy. I started to walk to the supermarket at lunchtime, about a mile and a half and already have lost a few pounds and feel so much better. Have also got part time job, so that stops me sitting in front of telly eating biscuits.

    It will all sort itself out and you will end this year slimmer, employed and in a lovely house. Just take it one step at a time.

    Hi CK, thanks for the results I-T won't be happy that Italy lost:confused: !

    No, but he won't be too surprised. Given the strength of the Irish team, I think Italy, who are still relative newcomers to the tournament, played very well. Just give them a few more years - they should certainly give England a 'run for their money'. :rotfl:

    I hope your meeting with CAP has gone well - am eagerly awaiting your news.
