Thanks Shanny, yesterday was a good.......no GREAT day, such fun on here
and I am feeling positive about it. A little bit of anxiety regarding WI later, which is silly, CDC is hardly going to shoot me .......is she??? Hope you have a lovely Tuesday hon xx
Thanks KC, I'll be thinking of you too. Hope all goes well and you manage to 'swerve'. I am sure you will be fine xx
Terrible Two's lol. Always HAS to be when I am at work doesn't it....grrrrrr.Hi mummy.
Have a great day
Loads of love xxx
PS: Thank you for the switch flick
So glad the switch has been flicked for you baby but I think you probably managed that for yourself, with just a bit of encouragement. Like I said to you yesterday, its all about you. You are the only person that can do it or not do it. The only person that can make you go off track is you.
The "little willied one" last Friday didnt make me eat chocolate and biscuits and set me up for another fail, I did that, all by myself, because that was my reaction to major stress. It would have been very easy to have just descended back into my pit but I came on here, 'fessed up and got the most amazing understanding and support. Anyway, what I am trying to say is, you will be absolutely fine. You don't have to feel that you are under any pressure, from anyone here and you certainly don't have to worry about letting anyone down/hiding etc, should you have an off day. So don't disappear again.
Love you loads xxxxx

Hi Chels,
We're good here, thanks for asking.
I was up a bit late helping my DS proof his Uni paper -- I am glad that he has matured enough to ask me for help.Never would all the time he is was in secondary school.
It is done and was web posted before the midnight deadline. (The professor has them send there work in via a website; he checks them and makes highlighted and margin comments. Then my son can access his corrected paper "online". If they discuss the paper after class the prof pulls it up on his laptop. Modern technology?!) And, I remember using an electric typewriter to do my papers when I was at uni - while listening to my cassette tapes! lol
The half-term plan for this morning is to help a friend out by baking a lot of cookies for the teen club gathering at the base chapel. She signed up to do the meal for this evening ages ago (both her children attend this club), and then realised she was flying out to Germany at 5 a.m. tomorrow. So, she is making the mains and salad, and recruited another friend to help her serve. And, I volunteered to bake with DD as it is half-term and we usually do something like this as an activity, anyway.
So, I'll have to get off Minis soon to go drop off my slowcooker to said friend, and pick up the ingredients.

Technology indeed. I remember the old typewriters we learned to type on at school. Throwing the carriage back so hard that it would whizz off the end. Hammering the keys down.........which I still do on the computer When I started work I had an IBM Golfball and thought it was the height of sophistication
Hope all goes well with the baking etc. and you and DD have a great time together xx

Day 38. Thank you, thank you, thank you
I owe you guys so much. 2lbs down this week, which could so easily have been a 3+lbs gain if you hadn't pulled me from the brink. Posting here last Saturday afternoon instead of crawling away in shame and disgust, proved to be a life saver. If there is anyone reading this now, who feels like a failure and is just lurking and feeling embarrassed, then please come and join in. Come and let this lovely group help you, like they helped me.
I am so pleased to say I have lost just over a stone
You are all wonderful. Love and hugs to you all xxxx
