    se999 thanks for that, all advice welcome. I think part of the problem is that i have an idea of what i 'should eat', ie bread at lunch time. Now the last few days I have been having salad stuff and hummus and cottage cheese instead. It fills me up, gives me several of my 5 a day, and I enjoy eating it! Far more than 2 bits of toast of whatever...

    It is part of the problem I have of not buying anything especially for me, ie food or anything else really. So this is the first change I am going to make.

    Taxi and BOB thanks for the good wishes. I really hope this is the end of the process, as it will be SUCH a weight off my shoulders when it is done. It means I can go back to college if I want to which would be ace!

    Not too bad so far this week. Though my washing mountain grew substantially monday night when I lifted up DS2 bean bag to find a load of dirty/wet clothes underthere ewwwwww:eek:. Is this just a boy thing?

    Thanks to Essex Hebridean I have started doing clicks again, and that will help pay for stuff in the uk so that is great. Was in bed by 9pm last night just couldn't keep my eyes open. And slept right through till 6 or so. I guess this walking lark takes it out of you more than you realise!

  • Washing is always a never ending story- i think it breeds itself sometimes!

    I have a shiny halo today, I have culled my clothes of 2 bin liners of stuff. Not going to even try and sell it just go to the clothes bank tomorrow. there are about 6 items that I have never worn, that I will sell, and a small bag of stuff for a friend of mine. And you know what? This job that I have been putting off as 'too hard' for literally months, took me a whole HOUR to do!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Makes me wonder what I could get done if I REALLY put my mind to it......


    In other news I GOT MY RESIDENCY IN PRINCIPLE TODAY. This means that I am almost there. I just have to pay a levee, which I will do tomorrow, and send off my passport, and that is it me here

    woooooohoooo
