    catowen great news on your weight loss. :T :T :T

    anniestar remembering you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.

    Thanks for all the encouragement on my weight loss. It has worked today. I have been very good. :D

    twink now that you have done all your own housework, would you like to come and do mine? ;):D

    We are watching the football - nowhere near as exciting as last night but as we are in a fantasy football league we have a vested interest in the results. Go Espana!

    Have a good evening. xx

    Evening Guys!

    Annie-Im sorry to hear about your loss. We are thinking of you at this difficult time.

    I am not having a good day! The hospital called at 8pm saying that I cant go into tomorrow for treatment as my blood count has dropped again. So have to go in for a lovely infusion instead. I know its low as my head is spinning all the time and I have mouth sores. I am feeling abit fed up TBH but have to count my lucky blessings that I am still here with you wonderful lot..even though I get on your nerves sometimes:D

    Didnt have the roast dinner today as I couldnt stomach it, so OH did a lovely Chicken salad instead with lettuce, grated carrot, peppers, beetroot and cucumber....and some new pots...delish and light.

    Wm has been on and dried on the line. Toilet has been cleaned too:p

    Found something great today with my DW.....it has a rapid wash that I didnt know of and it takes 15 mins.....Ive only had the DW for 18 months:rotfl: ...and it washes well too.

    We have had to have a stern talk with DD about her MSN and who she is talking too. Some perv had got her details and was passing himself off for 15 when checking his messages he most definitely wasnt! We have had to change her MSN and only allowed people she knows. I have also reported him to 3 forums where he is posing as a 15yr old. OH has his IP address too. I have sent an email to our local police station and stated my concerns. Luckily, I have worked in Child Protection and know the procedure. My best mate is head of CPU for a part of England, so have text him through and asked him to give me a call. It really is quite disturbing what he has put and fortunately DD told us...this has been drummed into her since she was little.

    Twink-I would also like to thank you publicly for all our "special" talks and your support. I really dont think I would have been so positive if it wasnt for you. Kyle...you are one lucky daughter!....I'm afraid though that she is going to adopt me and be my surrogate mother:D

    Smokey-Have you booked your hols?....they alllooked lovely. If it was me, I think I would go for the super lazy option of HB...but then again, it was another £500 and you could eat out every night for less than that:eek: :eek: :eek:

    Hugs to all.

    Hugs to Anniestar, sorry to hear about your loss.
    Well done both Catowen and anniebooklover on your weight losses.

    Pen-Pin, it's a nightmare with the kids and the internet, thankfully your DD is confident that she can talk to you both about it and sort out any problems. Often our kids details are picked up from other MSN/MySpace users. Hope you feel better after your transfusion.

    Smoky, have you come to any decisions, the place did look lovely. I don't know what you have decided to do about food, but I always think that with kids halfboard is a great option as they can try a bit of this or that and have as many puddings as they want. ;) I refuse to do self catering, I cook and wash up the other 50 weeks a year.

    Big hugs all round.

    Love to all The Twit. :grouphug:

  • Anniestar, so very sorry to hear your news. (((((hugs)))))) to you and your family.

    Well done anniebl & catowen too - I have sorted through most of my clothes today & filled 2 black bags of stuff that I have been keeping for ages in the hope I will lose weight - and instead have done the opposite. So am feeling inspired to sort myself out now :)

    Anniestar - sorry to hear your news xxxxx and ((hugs)) for you

    well done to all you that have lost weight :mad: :rotfl: no really mean it, I just need to stop baking cakes

    PenPin - MSN is a worry isnt it, I always ask OH's daughter when she is here, 'are you talking to your friends' she says yes, so only hope she is telling the truth.

    (((hugs))) to anyone else who needs/wants one.

    We have sorted out bedroom today, got new bed, this involved OH going to shop and asking that we had the display one, as they were not sure if and when we would get the one we ordered :eek:

    Have just looked up travelodge/premier inn nr bognor for next w/e so I can visit the new arrival.......hmmmmm fully booked......ok then we can sleep in the car lol

    Have got pics of new granddaughter and will sort out how to post them tomorrow

    Hi everyone

    Looks like a load of ((hugs)) are needed today anniestar, pen-pin, poppyoscar, mioliere, smokybabe (hope you find a nice holiday. Whether HB or not well it may be a lot easier eating in, rather than finding different restaurants with the lo's, but it will get you out and about.

    Also big congratulations on weight loss for quite a few of you, taplady, anniebooklover, catowen - very jealous, my willpower is on a real low.

    Well Spain have got through to the semis - they certainly know how to celebrate, I thought that it was the semis already, Loud firework at the start, and when they won, fireworks from all sides, and horns hooting. Heaven knows he reaction if they win! Must be in the town centre if they get to the final.

    Take care - DG
