    Morning Elanten, great to hear you’re so close to being MF. Sorry to read about Mr Elanten and fingers crossed he’s ok.

    Re weight loss, I have found the easiest thing to do was reduce carbs - has had a huge impact to overall health :T

    Sending best wishes, Tilly xxx

    that's what i have been doing also, I find it helps me not feel hungry and I have loads of energy ... maybe we can be eating buddies ?
    I also miss the sun - isn't it nice that sunrise is actually happening at a sensible hour again? :)

    oh yeah isn't that just brilliant seeing daylight again and going home while it's still light outside ...

    You have lost loads of weight though and soon there will be lots more chances to get up hills which will help.

    I moved a wee tub of tiny daffs to the back door today so they greet me each time I pass - it's cheering me up and making me feel spring has sprung.

    back at work today ... however Mr El has been paid ... so money shifted Tilly Tidies done and the accounts are where they should be for a day or two ... still sitting in the red but that's just what it is just now.

    I didn't bring any food I to work, last night I saw every half hour on the clock and I dragged myself out of bed a full 45 mins later than I should've so no breakfast and no food organised for work, however, I really don't want to spend money in the canteen, it's not cheap so it's gonna be a loooonnnnng day....

    which get a me to learn even if it's just a tin of soup I need to take food to work

    see you all later ... have a great day
