:wavey:Thank you. Glad you found me. Any questions don`t hesitate to ask. :)
 
Morning Doreen, happy Monday to ya :) are ya looking forward to your grandkids tomorrow? how old are they?

Just out of interest why do you think Sundays are so hard for you? I think if you can work that out you may be better placed to make some changes or at least develop strategies to cope.

My Grandson Flynn is 4 1/2 and Faye is 8 1/2. Am really looking forward to seeing them tomorrow. They live 1 hours drive away since October, used to be 2 miles away. It is the petrol that is a problem at least £20.00. Hard on a pension. Not sure how long they will be here. Mum is not working at present due to health. The children will catch up with some school friends which is lovely cause they all miss each other and they are both very popular children. I will spend some time with them in between. They will both start by sleeping in my bed with me in the middle cause they both want to sleep next to me :family2:. Flynn will go in with mum once he is asleep & come back tome when he wakes up. It is soooo lovely. Can`t wait. I love them such a lot.:happy036: Thanks for asking

As for Sunday -all the husbands are home Sunday and it feels a bit lonely. So I eat! I was pretty good yesterday. I did go and visit my brother & his wife so that broke the day up nicely. It turned out not to be so bad. So yes I will have to sort out something to help.

Aw, big hug Doreen - I hope you're feeling a bit brighter now.
When will you see your grand kids next?

Don't worry about not sticking to plan, special times aren't for dieting!
Menu looks good for today x
 
Thanks Mandy. I usually go up to Haverhill on a Wednesday and come home thurs. Pick them up from school at different times, swimming lessons then Frankie & Bennies once a month. Play etc,
My son gives me the petrol money cause it £20 minimum & I can`t afford it. But daughter-in-law off work at present so I don`t get up there. Hopefully she will be back to work soon. They are so busy weekends and it is not easy to visit. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. They usually come down in school holidays or if friends have party or something.

OMG I do go on. I could write a book. Anyway thanks for asking.
 
Hi thanks for sharing your diary. I had a tomato and herb mug shot for first time today and it was lovely and its fab that they are free too hurrah! x
