Hi CC, glad to hear your Dad is a bit more chipper. Hopefully, the news to-day about his impending release home will soon come to pass.

I was commenting about our Health systems in the context that I have a cousin living on the Isle of Wight, a young lady, suffered a stroke, half her body is paralysed and sadly the medics have given up on her. She is living in a residential unit for stroke patients, but even in the past 12 months the support and services have seen savage cut-backs. No doubt about it, your health is your wealth!

Hope you have a good week,

Regards,

Conor

Hi Conor

Dad was a lot brighter today so feeling a little more relaxed about things!

I totally get what your saying about the health service..I've heard some real horrific shocking stories of other's experiences, but so far so good (touch wood!) You are dead right, your health is most definately your wealth!!

ah hope your dad is home very soon then Jo. lots of love xxx

Thanks Karen, hopefully will be quite soon! xx

Hi CC, Hope your dad was in good form today.

Hope you dont mind if I ask you a question . How did you get the silver sevens at the bottom of your signature ??
Got my first one today and would love to see them like that.

Hi Brenda, my dad really was in good form today (phew!!) I've posted a wee message in your diary about the silver seven, it's dead easy. You've reminded me I'll need to add my 4th woo hoo!! xx

Hi minis

Dad was much brighter today. He was taken earlier today for an endoscopy and they removed 3 gallstones while there. They have decided that they are going to continue with the intravenous anti biotics which is a 7 day course so he has 2 more days to go. Hopefully will get home on Friday and back in at some point as an outpatient for gallbladder out. Fingers crossed nothing else crops up before then!! (still no change with uncle!)

Good day today for me, still not got on the exercise bandwagon yet but I really will do! Hopefully get to spin thurs and fri. Been v.good this week food wise and upped my water intake so I'm hoping for a loss this week

(B) 2 ww toast and ham 2
(L) 2 crispbread and pate 3
velvet crunch 1
yoghurt and raspberries 2
(D) pasta 6
tuna 2
mayo light 2
(snacks) crispbread and ham 2

Hi all, well the exciting news is that I lost 3lbs this week....3 whole pounds!!!! I am so so chuffed, mind you it's been long overdue, been v.slow over last month! I think if I could get rid of 5 more pounds then that would do!! Would love to do it before hols!

Dad got home yesterday and is over the moon! I also managed to fit in spin, oh it was good to be back, sheer torture....brilliant!!

I'm off work today and Monday, long weekend. I'm spending the day with my mum, some holiday clothes shopping is in order I think! Hope everyone has a good day x

It was soooo good to feel slim and have everything I tried on in a 12 fit perfectly...I'm really pleased with the weight I've lost. I got a lovely pair of wee tailored brown shorts from new look and a lovely little dressy vest to wear with them from Oasis. Also got a nice wee dress from new look too. I just cannot wait to get to Cancun and get them on! 5 weeks tomorrow, woo hoo!!

Mum and I went out for lunch and I managed to be good and just have a tuna mayo sandwich. OH and I had a yummy chinese tonight, friday night treat...was delicious!!
