Sadness of the great tragedy is here in Canada as well. Am burning candles for those who are there. No news on the wagon front here...just soooooooooo tired from all the over time shifts...Flowerfan please tell me you'll be planting at least a flower garden!

Keep up the good work ladies

Hi all
Well it's Monday morning and we've just had word on the radio that it's business as usual in london, all modes of transport are open. I have family in London and thankfully we haven't heard that anyone has been caught up in it. A chap i work with was said to have been heading to the capital during his 4 days off, he didn't show for work last night and didn't contact the manager either, so we're a little concerned for him, someone is going to contact his home if he doesn't turn up tonight! So your thought's / candles and prayers are most appreciated.

Eating well so hopefully weight should fall soon ??!! I'll keep you posted.

LOL @ Leanne...and well done for NOT taking the scales on holiday.

HRH Cherry Jewel I could use a but book...I am true british girl....a classic pear shape!! s

Hi Michellejy, nice to hear from you

Flower how did the move go???

I see that from the ginormousness of this thread, I must not be alone in my obsession with the scale.

The friend we have here is from London- lives and works there. He actually knows people who were on one of the tubes that was bombed, but fortunately everyone he knows made it out okay. At any rate, tonight is his last night here so I have to go be social some more, but I just wanted to check and see how everyone is.

Hello everyone...

Welcome Cuqt!! Yes we are a ginormous group and I really should start a new thread soon!Lol We talk about everything here as you can see! Hope you stay around awhile and visit!

Tulip and Michelle...I am lucky...none of my family is in the London area...they are all in Manchester and Blackpool...soooo i do thank the higher powers that everyone is alright. Canadians are now thinking "If it can happen in England,..it can happen in Canada."

We may be known as the most polite country in the world...but that doesn't leave us out as non targets for what is going on in the world today...

Hope everyone is finding themselves safe at home and healthy..

I bought a new pair of runners and a pedometer...i walk about 4-5 thousand steps aday...am trying that 10thousand steps a day thing...get me off my butt...and get my butt off....

Working 12 hours shifts for the next few days and am soooo tired...but wanted to stop by...these 50 and 50 hour weeks are killing me....and say hello while i'm still somewhat awake!!!

Welcome to the group Cuqt....let us get to know you...tell us your scales secrets...you might do something with them that may benifit the whole group...new ways of weighing ourselves is always welcome!!! lol

Missing Chap at work turned up....what a relief that was!!

Splashes...you should be doing more than 4/5 thousand steps if your doing a 12hr shift in a restaurant...your not accidentally resetting it half way through your shift??? I clock up 11k on my 8 hr shift...so your's should be more!!! check and make a note of your steps every couple of hours, just to make sure


How was your guest from London Michellejy...have you survived??

Flower where are you?? I hope you managed to take the pc with you when you moved....I was thinking about you today while i was harvesting potatoes, peas and courgettes.

Calling Leanne...can you please RUN over to your pc please and let us know how little you weigh this week....you are our inspiration (apart from the running bit!! ) we need you to keep us on track!

HRH Cherry...hows the but book menu going???

My weight is the same, eating ok...but i am now incapacitated...I slipped while out shopping (on a fruit smoothie that someone had dropped if your interested!!) i have torn ligaments in my foot and twisted my back causing muscular damage...OUCH it doesn't half hurt!!! I'm off work for 2 weeks to start with, but they have told me that it could take up to 6 weeks to heal. It is so frustrating, i can't drive, walk without a crutch, drink - due to the strong painkillers they ahve got me on...ahhhhhh not looking forward to the coming weeks.
Good news though - i went to an interview today for a Special Educational Needs Learning Support Worker and I GOT IT!!!! WOOHOO i start in september..I am sooooo pleased!

right that's enough news from me...

bye for now Tulip

Tulip- you poor thing. Who would have thought smoothies could be so dangerous? So do you at least get to take good painkillers while you are laid up?

We took our guest to the airport on Wednesday for his flight. After being there for two hours trying to get him checked in, we found out his flight was cancelled so he stayed an extra day. He is a nice guy, but it's so great to have the house back to myself again. It's tiring always trying to entertain someone.

Hi Michellejy...know what you mean about guests...it's nice to have them but nicer still to see them leave...I love having my house to myself!!

As for smoothies.... Banana ones are the worst kind...soooo darn slippy As for the painkillers there great, i feel as if I've had one too many

I'm spending my time sitting in the garden sun bathing and reading the new Harry Potter book...we queued at midnight to get our hands on one of the first copies...I left my daughter reading it in bed at 12:45 last night and when i went into her room at 9am this morning she was still in the same position reading it.. she assures me that she hadn't been reading it ALL night, she did actually go to sleep....eventually!!! That's her weekend taken care of...but as soon as she puts it down i pick it up (I knew we should have bought two!!!)

Where is everyone, still enjoying the good weather no doubt???

Hello ALL!!

I did take the pc with me but was not able to hook up to the web untill now.

Tulip-I have loved the Harry Potter books. Need to order the new one. I am like your daugher. Would stay up all night with a good one.

We are trying to get things put away. Have way too much stuff for such a small house. The soon to be ex is being a jerk. He has told me that he will fight me for the rest of his life before he gives me a penny. I hope he dies quick! lol

I went to dinner with the former boyfriend that I have thought about all this time. It was wonderful. He is a really nice man. Think it should be my turn to have a nice one. The great part is that he thought I the same thing about me.

Have a great night everyone!!!!

**Hands poor Tulip a fluffy pink slipper for the bad foot and a crosstrainer for the other one** Danged smoothies! Congrats on thejob!!! I guess you literrally have to take the good with the bad huh? As for the bar job...I'm back to an office job..doing fraud investigation right now...sooooooooo not conducive to walkign!lol

Michelle I know what you mean...i company a few weeks ago...and was sooooooooo glad to have my house back!! Enjoy your private time!!

Flower...how is the new house? Sounds like everything is going well so far!! Keep up the great work!!

Leeanne and HRHCherry...where are you folks?????

Cuqt come back and visit!!!

Tulip- my daughter is a reader too (she gets it from me). There have been a couple of times I've found her light on in the middle of the night or found her sneaking under the covers with a book light.

Flower- I don't know how your state laws are, but in most states, unless you have equal custody, child support will be directly debited from his paycheck before he even sees it. It's based on a percentage of income as well, so there's not really any argument on that. As for alimony and such, I have no idea how that works since I didn't ask for any. I just wanted to escape!

HS- I'll be picking up my kiddo in a couple of hours here. It's been really weird not having her around all of this time. At any rate, no more house to myself, but it's different when it's family

Just popping in to say hi!
Glad your hooked up to the web now flower.
Will type more later...foot still painful so have to rest it some more!

Bye

I AM HERE

Just got back from the in-laws last night...and WOW...almost 2 weeks WITH NO SCALE....mark this down on the calendar.......YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY

AND
MY SCALE STILL LOVES ME- it wasn't mad at me at all this morning...I thought maybe it had gone through a little withdrawl but it probably enjoyed the break from me stepping all over it every day....hahahah
Yes, it weighed me at 115.4 YAY....but, in all fairness I have been RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING and really sticking to my training program, plus it has been SOOO HOT here that running in the heat is awesome fat loss....(water loss more like)...
So anyways, I am back home and looking forward to getting back to normal...haha- ill have to spend today unpacking and putting everything away but otherwise it is nice to be away but nicer to be home again!

HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING GREAT,

Leanne
