Thanks everyone my kids are my life that's for sure...as for my weight I don't know what's happening any more lol. I get on look to see if there is a loss and if not I sulk. For a proper round up I will have to get the lowdown from my team because I kept track on my mobile but I have just updated it and the shop plugged old fone and new one into a box to transfer from one to another and lost all my data and most of my pictures gutted to say the least and actually cried over the pics because most of them I can't replace. Dress size I'm down from size 26/28 to a definite 18 and if I'm lucky a large 16. I got rather upset yesterday as I had to take my size 20s out that I bought for special occasions and holiday thinking that's me I'm where I wanted to be so that's how I will stay. Why or how I came to this conclusion I don't know but I think it stems from that being a dream size for me due to being so big before my op...This left a huge gap in my wardrobe but I couldn't even get away with wearing them loose so I'm hitting charity shops so that I can replenish my stock. Today I went into M&S so glad I did as the have a 50% sale on quite a few items. After spending 2 hrs in charity shops finding nothing I then came out of M&S with trousers top and shoes (black felt pen they couldn't remove so paid £3.50) for £27.95. Now that's a bargain. Felt pen ect is easily removed with WD40 or hairspray ? I. Hate Scàborough for shopping it's ridiculously expensive even in the charity shops and it's not unusual to find items in them that top out from original store sale prices. I'm all for helping out and I do my fair share of charities but get mad when I see a dress from matalan priced £8 in the sale that the charity shop has it priced at £11. Even eBay with postage often come to less but I like to try clothes on now before I buy never wanted to before and would often get them home first because I would be too embarrassed to go into changing rooms being such a big size yet if they were so tight at home I would rather bin stuff than take it back for a larger size that made shopping for me pure necessity and never because I loved how it looked. I'm on a mission at the end of the month to save for the January sales. Take my girl off shopping in Durham or likewise with hotel dinner b&b but even just the day away will be nice we go shopping maybe once a month now but she starts her management training pretty soon so we will miss a good few. I certainly won't go alone and shopping with hubby is now so stressful because he picks up so many things that are far too young for me. I don't do mutton dressed as lamb but bless him he just doesn't get it. I'm rambling on somewhat so best try get some sleep because my medical M.O.T is tomorrow and I'm hoping they pass me to send my wheelchair back but I very much doubt it. Night all and thank for making me smile what would I do without you. ?? xxxx

Well I guess my heads back to reality after the lecture I got today....basically living in a dream world according to my consultant. He's over the moon that I have lost weight and it's given me a boost to my health in many ways but " let's not look at the surgery as a miracle cure" it just won't happen and he thought he had made things clear at my first consultation that due to the damage caused when I fell from a bridge as a child nobody could expect anything less than a lifetime full of problems. He told me that I was lucky to survive it and the fact I was 11 helped. So wheelchair stays end of. Funny how things in life as a child can be forever a consequence. I'm resigned to the fact I will have good days and bad end of.

I got 4 parcels delivered today all addressed to me. Very strange because I hadn't ordered or bought anything. After opening the letter attached to the first I sat and cried. My youngest wrote " mother I don't tell you often but you amaze me. The struggle that you have had this year and things stacked against you has shown me that no matter what you are always there for us all. These gifts are for the simple things I never say thank you for and yet you are always there."

4 brand new dresses hot pink dress with the label Coast size 18... White dress Jasper Conran size 18... Lime and Black Rocher John Rocher size 18 and finally sunset red satin size 18 again labeled Coast. Never in my life have I had proper labeled clothes if I could frame them I would. He said he didn't want me to feel bad that I don't fit in my clothes anymore bless him. Now all I need is an excuse to wear them. :)
 
My dear lady you have the best excuse in the world to wear those gifts. Your you and someone one special in your life gave then to you. You don't need another reason honest. You've heard the story about the old man who put the clothes out for his wife and her best perfume, the one she kept for best, it was still In the sealed box, as he opened it he sighed today was the only day she would wear it as they took her into the church to say goodbye to her. Need I say more, live for today because the best is now. :)

I certainly am Hun. He's the one that doesn't buy me birthday cards because he says the words in a verse are never written with the love of the person that's sending the wishes. He doesn't his feelings often but he will always be thoughtful with words he says bless him. My oldest never even remembers birthdays ect and my daughter is the most thoughtful. See how can I complain even when they drive me crazy with their stubbornness :)
