    JillD-hope you are feeling ok today. I am sure that you must have been really shaken up last night.


    Can I join in the weight loss thing. Must have missed a few posts last night as I don't remember about it!! Last year I managed to get to my 'ideal weight' but managed to pile it on again!! Need to try harder , would like to give up bread as it makes me bloated and must stop having two dinners. ! with DS & DS and 1 with DH!!


    DS got playschool/nursery today :D so it is just me and DD. Hpefully should ne able to get all the living room done. Need to a couple of binbag boogies I feel.

    Going to DS nursery today to talk to his key worker and have a play this afternoon-hopefully DD may have a little sleep before we go. Who knows though.

    you lot have made me start the day with a smile.

    Julie what a beautiful gesture from you. It made me have a big grin on my face that someone would be so thoughtful.

    jill hope you are ok today - nice and chilled. Can i include my baby weight, ie weigh myself before going into labour;) I will only be able to take it slow though as i will be BF. Saying that, last time i was within 4 pounds of pre-pregnancy weight within 6 weeks, and had lost 11/2 stone within a week of having DS. Wed weigh in would work for me as i am likely to do it at my parents house as there scales are better than mine. :D I'm round the 13 stone mark at the moment, which isn't bad as i was 12 1/2 when i fell pregnant.

    Sounds like DS is awake, best go check - how much toast can i get in him today, and will i be sat on my bum watching barney all day :confused:

    Michelle, x

    Morning my lovlies!

    Thanks so much for all the hugs xxx Hopefully we'll hear some news today about it, IL's went visiting her on Sunday and said how poorly she was but heard its liver failure now, I just keep praying for her family.

    Juliejim - that is such a lovely thing to do for AnWs

    Weather shocking here this morning, don't really want to venture out in it but can't face being stuck in the hosue all day.

    Yikes the time - Better dash, have a good day folks xx

    g&b - hope you dont mind me asking but what height are you if you want to be 7 stone something (or can I not add). I will be ecstatic beyond belief if I ever see single digit stones again !!


    I'm a shade over 5ft:o Dont think i will get down to the 7 stone region as i want to build muscle too, which will push my weight up. We'll see:rolleyes:

    AnWsMum - have you seen the news about the CC of GMP? (((Hugs)))

    Yes I saw that last night :( my heart goes out to his family. There was also news of a DS in Lancs who hung himself last week sometime. It is so terrible that anyone feels so low that they feel the only course of action is the one they have taken. I just hope for both these officers their families do not have to wait 21 months to get to coroners court.

    Julie cleared some PM's ;)

    Just got absolutely soaked on the school run, suspect it won't be the first time today that I get wet!
