Hi All, I am back from my wonderful two days in Lincoln. Loved the cathedral and the town. Have read all posts (taken me two days!!!) but have not managed to take any notes. BIG huge congrats to all who are doing well, and commiserations to those who are struggling in one way or another. So happy I did not come back to a…

Toni – Well done on keeping up with everyone (but) how do you manage it? I keep trying but by the time I have read everything I am too tired and have to give in and go to bed! And Happy Anniversay! You nearly made me dribble with the Poutine description. Never had but IF I ever get to Quebec it will be top of my list of…

Happy Birthday Janet, hope you have a wonderful day. Pip well done on reaching ONE THOUSAND! Not everyone can manage that!! Welcome, CockneyLady. Heather, I received the book on Thursday as expected but have not had time to read much yet. Will try to read a bit more today. Really don’t fancy the nettle soup despite there…

Sylvia what good news that you can now get the information you need with the 'password'. Your hubby is definitely a STAR. Heather book ordered and I should be able to start reading tomorrow, looking forward to it! Joyce, thanks for saying you will message to find out if spiralizer has been used yet. I would love to see if…

I look forward to reading your book Heather. I am like several ladies on here and have been reading all your wonderful posts but just cannot keep track enough to reply to all. Sending hugs to those who need them and commiserations for all the problems, and big congratulations to those who are having successes. I have had a…

Sylvia - I really should not read your posts when I am at work, you made me laugh out loud when I read your cure for a bad glaze! Gilly

Barbie - I love your positive attitude and hope some of it rubs off onto me! I also admire your underspending as I have to give any extra money I have to my son as I say money is like water to me and it slips straight through my fingers! Jane - Hope move has gone as smoothly as it can and that nearly everything has found…

Many Happy Returns Lesley, hope you have a wonderful day I have loved reading all your posts but have not got time to reply to all. I don't know how you all do it! Take care all and I will try to do better next week x Gilly, Suffolk UK

carry on from where the computer decided I had finished when I had not!!! Joyce - I was so scared that I did not believe I was in labour because it was not so painful it was making me scream - phew! Well I managed my 1 mile swim and actually done it in 75 minutes which made me very happy. Still unable to walk many steps at…

I am so far behind and sorry to anyone that I miss but my computers have been very nasty to me and would not let me post anything at all. Beth - love the minion joke! Pip - plates of food looked great and the view wasn't bad either. Lesley - Blaize looks as if he has fitted right in - enjoy! Yanniejannie - Hope everyday…

:( not feeling so good this morning, big belly seems to be complaining about all the fruit and veg it has been receiving lately. I have just told it to get used to it as it is what it will keep getting for a long while!!!

Barbie - Thanks for the new thread and I am going to make even more effort in April. Cory - Congratulation on getting to 'Onderland' and I WILL get there by 2016. Lesley - I hope you find a wonderful bundle of fun (after your holiday) and how nice to hear from your daughter, the children always make the sun shine for us…

Have lost box to post replies on April link so thought may be if I tried it here it would magically re-appear on the new link ;_)

Toni - how awful about the Y, I know what it is like when you make such good friends at work and then every thing finishes. It is so difficult to keep in thouch despite all our good intentions - family and life tend to get in the way! - Call the midwife is soooo good! Gail - Sorry for youy loss, but glad you and your…

Amazing how many of us need to lose the weight we have gained on our journey to our fifties! Mary - Yes I agree, Davy Jones was lovely just not quite as nice as David Cassidy! Hope Kratos is not a 'God of War' lol. Sylvia - Kids were so clever, the masks look great. Your son has been very lucky with his new flat hasn't he.…

I wish I was a glow worm, A glow worm's never glum. 'Cos how can you be grumpy When the sun shines out your bum! ~Author Unknown Have a great day! Carey - Edmonton Carey - love it!! thanks for sharing

Well, I am back and have just about managed to read everything - phew! - DGS was very happy with presents and it was lovely to see him and his sisters. I am glad Sylvia's DGD also had good party and enjoyed all the hard work you had put in for her. I hope health improves. Vicki - hope your mum is doing okay. Mine fell and…

Hi All, Sylvia and Meg - I have always said that boys lose the power of speech when they hit their teens and don't get it back until they reach 20, but then they become friends instead of sons and nephews! Not sure which is worse the forever talking or the teen 'grunting'. And Sylvia well done on the bowls and poster and…

Cynthia - I am dancing for you, just don't work too hard. Congratulations

Hi all, I have read all posts and now cannot remember who said what, but loved the jokes and am pleased to see that many of you have done the things that make you happy! I can only make a list of replies when I am at work and as (lucky me) I have a ONE day week this time, don't think there will be time to do that. It will…

Wow I agree with everyone,what a difference. I have not put a photo on but started a month ago at 331lb and have just lost 12lb. Have set myself a target of loosing half the weight by june 2017. You are such an inspiration!

Congratulations Cynthia. Always nice to hear good news.

Woo Hoo !! I think I have done it :blush:

So much sadness but then happiness as well. Makes the losing weight problems seem so insignificant and helps to put things into perspective. Hope to make the most of every good moment. Love the photo from Selena but just cannot imagine having a post box FIVE MILES away!!! Gilly, Suffolk UK

Hi all, I was going to try to post the way Katla advised but does not work for me AND I cannot find the ticker to add on to end of post anyway. Beginning to think I am daft! Grandmallie - I hope your head cold and cough have given up and deserted you and that you managed to have another good nights sleep. Sylvia - I think…

Good morning all, I have just about managed to catch up with all the messages! Perhaps I should not go away - but then again it was such fun and I have managed to lose 6lb while away. I did go swimming this morning but it was such a struggle to get out of bed - the bedclothes would not let me out!!! Therefore I only…

What a lot of water babies on here. Cindy, I will do a mile real soon, I am sure. I am just getting ready to start my journey to Birmingham. Three busses, two trains and the tube across London, it will be a long day but worth it. Look forward to catching up with you all next week. Good luck everybody! Gilly, Suffolk, Uk

Sylvia, hope all comes good soon. Margaret, I also swam for my home town (when I was a teenager) and it is lovely to be able to get back to it after such a long time, although a charity for spinal damaged people had a 'swim the (English) channel' challenge which you were able to do in swimming pools (I really did not fancy…

Sorry to be a pain but how do I add the 'weight lost' box?
