    Hi Guys.
    Day 32 for me which is good.:T
    Not so good though is the fact that I am now 6 pounds above my target weight due to too much chocolate and cake.
    Will I spend all my life battling against something:confused:

    I am feeling down in the dumps today as DD2 is flying off on holidays for two weeks with her OH.Although she doesnt live at home she is not far away and I see her most days.When I wake up tomorrow I will feel a bit lost and sad :cry::cry: so will have to get stuck into some spring cleaning I think.
    Sorry for the moan.

    Hope you are all where you want to be .Good Luck.

    Love Mollypollyxxxx

    Probably, seems to be wot life's about (thought I'd pop in to cheer you up). I think there's something in this "oral gratification" thing - smoking / drinking / eating - it's quite easy to drop one or even two of these if you do LOADS of the other instead!
    Hope you won't feel too lonely while DD2 away, the house'll look great for her return. We'll be here when you hang up the feather duster.
    You're always a late-nighter aren't you! I went to bed then heard the pc was still on so thought I'd take a peep.:rolleyes:

    Morning all :wave:

    Molly, listen up girl, get on MSE and keep yourself busy for the next couple of weeks, there is only so much housework you can do! I hope your DD enjoys her holiday and I'm sure after a couple of days, although you'll miss her, you will be fine. Anyway, we're all here to chat to :rolleyes:

    I've come on here this morning to ask you all to shove up a bit on that wagon, I feel full of positivity today (god knows why :confused:) and feel strong enough to start again. There I've said it.

    Morning All,
    That wagon is now bursting at the seams.

    Well done everyone. keep up those positive thoughts Jo.

    Chin up Mollypolly - we are all here for you - no need to be lonely - just shout as us! Congrats on the 32 days - don't give in now.

    Nearly bought beer yesterday ...... so close ... opted for the pomegranate juice and fizzy water instead ;)

    Have a great day everyone - watch those wheels on that wagon ! Though apparently it still keeps rolling along with only three wheels on it and the Cherokee after you :rotfl:

    OMG - how old am I?

    Best Wishes
    BHB
    :) Embrace your inner Hillbilly :)
