    What a shame about your earlier diary! I read the whole thing and am in awe of how you manage it all. Have subscribed to this one; I hope that your first one will be reinstated but in any case am here, cheering you on. Humdinger

    My NSDs are due to the fact I have had the dreaded lurgy and, of course, I hate to go out. Although I did manage to get out to meet a friend for a coffee. It was so noisy though that I found it quite upsetting.

    As you know, I will have to leave where I am living although just not sure when. So I decided to open one of the bottles of wine in a cupboard. One word - vinegar!! Not even suitable for cooking. Tomorrow is another day and a different bottle.

    Take care honey

    Ah SA, so glad I found your new diary. Awful that your last one was deleted. I remember reading that from start to finish and was very inspirational for me. Well done on the weight loss :j

    So sorry you lost your diary SA, it was one of the first I read, even if I may not have posted much. One of the ones that made me remember when I was in the depths of despair that anything is possible and that there is always hope.

    So glad you started another.
