Morning all! Very frosty here, but not the fog they’d forecasted.
Jean- hope you’re okay today, it can be a funny time of year. Like you say, so much work for a couple of days… lose the whole meaning of it all.
Pseudo- hope you were able to stay strong, your evenings are longer than most of ours!!
DF- hope you enjoy being able to eat a bit more today!
Yesterday came in under 500 cals for me yesterday, so I’m counting that as a FD as well! Out most of today- hubby is having steroid injections in both elbows for tendinitis so taking him as he won’t be able to drive for a couple of days… Youngest son needs lots of running about the next couple of days, & I have Home-Start stuff to do & a friend to visit this afternoon. Got quite a bit done yesterday so I won’t get behind- all the presents wrapped now!
Morning all,
Jean, hope your feeling okay today. There’s definitely something about this time of year. I agree its a lot of hype, build up and organisation just for two days!
Hedgehogs, you sound busy .. great that you got a FD in yesterday 🙂 Its a great feeling when all the presents are wrapped, that’s a massive job in itself!
Pseu, how did your FD go in the end? Hope it was a good one 🙂
I’m definitely looking forward to being more relaxed about eating today, I’m going to keep it mindful, but yesterday was such a struggle. Not sure why, it wasn’t hunger, it just dragged on for some reason. One more FD to go before the break, Thursday 🙂
Keep warm everyone, and have a nice day.
xx
Morning All..
I am OK …Thanks …..it’s a bad time of year for both of us….carols on tv this morning that set me off again…
We are off out and about this morning, see if we can finish some food things off….Steve at this late stage fancies some new jeans…I need to pop in to Dunhelm for pillowcases as we are passing…
Low day for us today…seeing how we go…just trying to push it till after Thursday fast…Steve’s doing quite well really, he keeps asking when can we start eating…😂
Hedgehog…
You sound really busy but getting on top of things…poor hubby they are not nice the injections, hope he’s fit to help over Xmas…
Pseu and DF..
Hope you both have a good day..
Just tried on some old biker trousers, always very tight and couldnt get in them for 14 years, gave them to step daughter but she brought them back as they don’t fit her….Fit me like a dream even with my arm inside them!…they are very light to wear for the summer ..so very pleased…😀
All goes quiet on here as everybody being pulled in all directions….keep strong and fit..away from colds..

Morning all.
Yup, yesterday’s FD was a success. Not doing a back to back with today though, I’ll either do tomorrow, since I’m going to the cinema so will be out until late, or Thursday.
I don’t have much to do for Christmas really, which sounds like a relief compared to what the rest of you have to contend with. I’m meeting my parents on Saturday on their way to my house to go Christmas food shopping and that’s it. Only my parents get presents, and I got those a while ago. I can’t wait for four days off work, I have my fingers crossed I won’t need to come in next week, but that’s probably just wishful thinking.
Wow, well done on the biker trousers Jean! Fitting into something you could get into for 14 years is amazing!
Well yesterdays fast didnt happen! It was 4 years since Neil and I got together so we celebrated with a bottle of fizz and tuna steak for me and steak for him 🙂
Today we are out to give blood….at least I feel like I am doing something positive in this, in my opinion and current frame of mind, pretty rubbish time of year.
Appointment at vets later.
Going to try and keep it as low as possible, but cant fast as Ive had to eat before giving blood.
Our Audrey has lost 1 stone on her WW diet! Good for her!
Catch you all later x
Hi all – just dropping by to see how you’re all doing, and if you’re fasting to encourage you! Well done, yesterday’s lot – I was thinking of you.
I’m just trying to keep it low while I crack on with everything. Only one more school nativity to go before our own on Sunday. This week is not too bad in many ways…just need to use some of the gaps to make sure I have enough done for ‘after’. I hate the cliff edge that is January for me. I’ve spent so much time building up to Christmas that when it’s all done I have nothing ready to get things started again in the New Year! And before you know it we’re in to Lent and Easter! (Sorry – professional woes!)
Kay – good luck at the vets. Our old boy is still hirpling around with the help of the sling, and the vet says we have to slow him down or he won’t heal properly…I’d like to see him try and slow this dog down!
Catch you all later.

Afternoon everyone
Jean, a tough time of year for many, hope memories of the good times manage to push through.
Mstar, glad the move is over, just the unpacking now. Haven’t moved for 20 years but when we did Phil insisted on putting unopened boxes in the middle of the kitchen-diner. He insisted if they got put in the garage (my suggestion) they’d never be unpacked.
Kay, hope Ellie is okay, take care of yourself you’ve had a tough couple of months.
DF, with any luck work will fly this week. Good luck with the 2 FD. Hope there aren’t too many ‘goodies’ in the office to tempt you.
Minols, busy time for you. Hope you manage to have a great break, and that the boss is looking after you when you’re providing the proverbial shoulder.
Pseudo, hope the days aren’t dragging too much. Lots of socialising for you at the moment.
Was planning FD yesterday, but ended when Hannah came home and we went shopping, but still down on the start of the month. Bought new dress and coat for the funeral on Wednesday in size 12, so have to make sure I can still get into it.
Trying to keep busy, though couple of days ahead. Catholic tradition is that Phil will be taken to the church this evening, so planning to go for food with the girls after. On Wednesday the funeral service at the church, burial at local cemetery and wake at a nearby pub. Think I may need a tot of something by then. Thursday Hannah and I are going to finish the Christmas food and drink shopping, so may throw another fast in, but that will be it then till after Christmas, probably after the New Year.
Thanks for all your help and support over the last year, but particularly the last month.

Afternoon All…
We have been out and about for a few things..jeans and pillowcases bought…fresh food still not good dates at Asda so will leave till Thursday ish….feel a bit brighter…
Pseu..
All done for you and a catch up with parents at the weekend sorting the food shopping…
Kay..
Hope you enjoyed your 4th anniversary a bit of bubbly goes down well..good luck at the vets this afternoon..
Minols…
Keep going nearly over..nearly holiday break time..😀.
Lynne…
Thinking of you and the girls for tomorrow..think of the happy times..definitely have a tot or two at the wake…..hoping you have some people around you to help you over the holiday period, it will be a hard time.
Jean x
Lynne- thinking of you anyway, but especially for tomorrow. Very hard time, you sound so strong getting a Christmas head on as well…
Jean- well done with the trousers! I had to get some new jeans yesterday- other ones are all stretched & baggy now! I’ll go shopping for the fresh stuff on Saturday- yuk, dreading it already. Might get up very early & go!
Minols- hope you get through the last 2 nativities without any calamities. Hope you have divine inspiration for January…
Kay- hope things go well at the vets- & congratulations on your anniversary. Pass on congrats to Audrey as well, tell her she’s missed!
Pseudo- well done for yesterday!
Looking forward to dinner of baked potato and baked beans, but I have had glass of mulled wine to warm me up!
Vet confirmed what we thought, in that Ellie probably has a tumour in her bladder causing recurring infections, or maybe the steroids are just lowering her immune system too much. Started her on some different antibiotics, not as strong but maybe something she can can stay on long term to stop bacteria growing as fast.
Although nothing can be done about the tumour over her eye, it is confined to her eyelid and above, and thus not affecting her eye. So we just need to keep it clean and hope it settles and doesnt grow.
In all fairness, there is no point me trying to do much cutting back now until after christmas and Im going to have a good think about how I am going to approach things in January.
Lynne, Im only just catching up with everyone…sending you some positive vibes for tomorrow, thinking of you and the girls x
Minols, enjoy the last manic few days! Are you taking services on christmas eve and christmas day?
Jean, good news about the trousers – you must be doing something right! At what point is Steve going to dig his heels in and declare christmas?!
Pseu, hedgehogs and DF, you all seem to be still managing some control, well done!
I just hope that as Ive just kept the eating and drinking steady rather than achieved the fasting I was hoping for, maybe I can just keep it constant rather than binge after a cut back, which may well have happened!
Not much to do here, just some fresh stuff, which I may wait until Friday for. Its going to be dry tomorrow so trying to plan a short walk somewhere for some fresh air.
Take care all x
Lynne… I have just caught up with your news. Xx Oh my thoughts are so with you and your family.
So very hard for you Lynne even after all you have been through. No words can express how I feel for you with tomorrow in mind. A oh so very hard one to do even without this time of the year added to it.
Just have to go with it… although lots of support for you…..You will be there I am sure for your family too… So its a hard one .. You are a wonderfully strong woman though but just take care of Lynne too .. be kind to her she needs kindness now more than ever. Thoughts of peace go to you and family Lynne. Xxxx.
Morning All..
A dull day here…
Going out and about again today..picked up wrong pillowcases what am I like…then Steve has to have blood taken at the hospital and maybe seeing a doctor?? Who knows these days…he’s ok..some blood counts a bit out of sync..
My daughter has depression and has been sent home from school yesterday, she has been down this last year…doctor has asked her to see a councillor before taking tablets…she says she has a brick wall round her and doesn’t want to talk or see anyone….I am finding that hard to take…everyone else live in popping by mode, as I live an hour round trip I can only phone her….I have told her to ring me if she wants to talk, I won’t ring her.
We are going for Xmas dinner and she wants us and MIL and IL Grandma still to go…how can you go if she doesn’t want to see anyone!…see what the next few days bring…
Any thoughts please
…
Kay…
We are doing OK …I have told Steve a low day, a FD, weigh in then we can eat…he seems to be going with it…glad you know a bit more on Ellie from the vet..
Hemmy…
Lovely to hear from you….Have a lovely Christmas with Mum and Kirsty..have a glass or two..🍷🍷🍷
Jean x
Jean- sorry to hear about your daughter- you’ve mentioned a few times that you’ve been worried about her… teaching is a stressful job. Maybe she’s wanting to have something to focus on & feels that she can cope with Christmas dinner? If everyone’s just coming for the day & not staying with her perhaps she thinks she can crash out on Boxing Day? I know I’d feel even worse if I had to cancel everyone coming, the guilt would make me feel more depressed… see how she is the next few days, like you say. Hope Steve’s blood test turns out okay.
FD for me!
Morning everyone.
My thoughts are with you and the girls Lynne. It’s good to hear from you.
Jean, I can get a bit like that sometimes, though probably not to the same extent. I do have a tendency to ‘vanish’ sometimes though until I get a worried text from my mother checking I’m okay. Would it be possible to text her on Christmas Eve or the day before to see if she feels up to it? Or would that be too short notice?
I hope everything is okay for Steve’s blood test.
Hi old and new friends. Xx
Lovely to see Sym … Kay.. DF …Minois.. Lynne still going strong and being so supportive to everyone. Lots of others have joined too since my last visit.
Well done to our Aud for losing a stone. WW are sooo lucky to have her. Send her my best wishes. Xx
Sym and Steve well done .. you have really cracked It now. Still keeping that loss and enjoying your holidays and away days along the way. How it should be. Xx
Kay .. you are a girl after my own heart regarding your girl Ellie. You deserve all 2018 can bring you in happiness… I am willing that for you and healing thoughts for Ellie.. Xx
DF.. You are such a warm supportive person to everyone. I hope all your dreams for yourself come true. Xx
Minois .. A busy time for you. Always helping others while being there for your Man and Boy. Peace be with you. Xx
I am converted for ever to this way of life. So very happy I came across this thread with Ginette and Aud and then the others. It has changed my life in many ways.
Their support not only helped me get to my happy dance weight but helped me mentally through some sad years.
Still have Milky coffee for breakfast .. sandwich lunch meat/ fish for dinner… gone are snacks … cake is eaten as a pudding part of lunch or dinner.
It all works brilliantly and weight never fluctuates hardly at all.
Love this 5-2
Brit lovelies..
They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for. Xxxx
Hi all
Tricky times for a lot just now. And by tricky, I probably mean balancing crappy and fun/joy! Lynn – I do hope today has been bearable for you and the girls and that doing the formal things have helped you move through, and you managed to keep all that is personal and precious honoured in the service, too. I smiled at the idea of Phil not allowing boxes in the garage…he is absolutely right! I won’t let things in the loft for the same reason, and we are both vindicated by the fact that my sister has boxes in her garage waiting to be unpacked from 12 years ago.
Jean – so sorry about your daughter. Depression is such a weird thing to try and get a handle on because it is so very individual. I remember a series of ads in NZ that struck me as wise…all around the ‘simply being there’ approach. I think it’s really hard, because sometimes it feels pointless and ‘nothing’, but universally the comments from ‘the other side’ are gratitude that someone stuck with them through it all even when they could DO nothing to help. You so desperately want to tell someone to ‘cheer up’…but that’s exactly what they can’t do. Was it hedgehog who said that maybe she’s so keen to host Christmas because it will mean she has achieved something. A little bit of control over her life – that maybe if she can get a grasp on one thing it will give her a bit of purchase on other things, too. But that’s just me theorising on minimal data…
Hemmy – so glad to have some of your wise words back to contemplate on!
Kay – i’m with you…I’m going to get a handle on things again in January. My only aim right now is to not go too mad!
On which note…off to put on the chicken and chips for the boy and me!
Mx
Lynn- if you’re reading this, hope that today went as well as these things can…
Minols- hope having your visitors went well.
I did slip today- after setting up for the club ready for tomorrow we had tea& someone had brought yummy M&S biscuits- it will take me a little over the 500, but considering the time of year & temptations… not too bad! (Had to take ibuprofen today for my neck, so had to eat toast first or they’d upset my stomach… I’m re-thinking the kickboxing as when we do lots of punching & press-ups it has been aggravating my neck, although I really enjoy it. We’re fairly rural here, so no other fitness classes anywhere near either!)Tomorrow will be a long day (probably with more biscuits on offer!) & have to bring a packed lunch, to eat with the children- I haven’t had a sandwich in ages!!
Morning all,
Hemmy, so lovely to hear from you .. thank you for your kind words 🙂 I’ll never forget the support you gave me over this year, not just with 5.2 but with my anxiety troubles. Sending every good thought and best wishes to you this Christmas, have a lovely time *tight hugs Hemmy* xx
Jean, I hope all is okay with your daughter. Depression is so hard, and very hard on the family of the sufferer. I’ve dealt with it myself over the years, helped with medication. She knows your there for her, be kind to yourself too *hugs*
Lynne, sending warm thoughts to you and your family. Always here for you, even if it is just online .. keep in touch *hugs*
Kay, sending lots of love to you and Ellie. Hope she’s doing okay, its so hard. Have a nice day *hugs*
Minols, Hedgehogs, Pseu hope your all okay. Your support is amazing, thank-you! Have a great day today 🙂
Lots of hugs for everyone today, feeling the love 🙂 Its my LAST FD of the year!! I’m amazed I’ve kept this up for a whole year now, so do-able and as Hemmy says its definitely a way of life once you reach your goal!! I’m looking forward to starting the New Year now with the continued support and banter we have on this thread 🙂
Have a good day everyone, I’ll probably be back later. Its hard to fast with Christmas treats in the office, I must be good today though!!

Happy Xmas to all 100.1 kgs almost hit my Xmas target. Still living out of boxes and still no broadband PlusNet (who basically ride on the back of BT open reach). Last day at work and final gym session of this year tomorrow so will hope to crack the 100kg by then. Next target 95Kg but hoping that I don’t get too big a setback as I do love my plum duff. All the best to you all .
Morning All…
A dreary start to the day….a FD for us…..although had a Haddock and chips and a drink last night which I could of done without …that’s not a planned thing in the week….must have a really good day for last of the years weigh in tomorrow …😬
Hemmy…
Glad you are popping by……your vibes worked last night I had a good nights sleep…I have had a restless few nights…
Kay…
Thanks ..I have not had much dealings with depression…I had it for a couple of years after my mum died, just have to work through it then no tablets…maybe more just very sad…
DF..
It’s a whole year you have been with us….well done….sometimes I go back on line it surprises how we have all been here for ages…it will be nice to have the week off then re kick start in January again. Thanks for your thoughts…
Mich..
Well done on reaching your first target you set for Christmas…here’s to the new year to us all….hope the Wi-fi gets done….
Have a good day and a busy day…keep off the office naughties if possible…
Jean x
Hi All – just done my last school assembly of the year…phew! It was a really lovely one, too, with the choir and a wee group of brass players adding to the feeling of joy. Mary was a ‘stand in’ and she was gorgeous!
Now just the church celebrations to go. I’m sure they will be lovely, although a little bit nervous as they involve so many people and there have been no rehearsals! I’ve spent 3 years trying to help people realise that when worship is genuine and heart-felt then there are no mistakes…it’s simply all of us together with God – and so Sunday’s nativity will test that outlook! If last year is anything to go by it will be an absolute joy – we had half the adults come in costume so they could ‘take part’ with the kids…so much better than becoming some sort of audience.
And I’ve got someone on standby to ring the bell at midnight in the watchnight service…haven’t’ told anyone else I’m planning this – working on the assumption that it’s easier to apologise afterwards than ask permission ahead of the event! I’m sure no-one will mind…
So nearly there…the depth of joy that enables us to bear even the great sadnesses of life (and to which you all know I am not immune) might just bubble up and have me dancing in the empty church as I set things up for the weekend! And there are still 3 sleeps to go (don’t count Christmas Eve cos I’m working!)
Mx
PS even got my Christmas frock on today covered with Christmas trees!
How’s everyone doing?
Minols, your build up to Christmas sounds lovely, if not very busy!!
Pseu, the times I’ve messed up at work. Try not to be too hard on yourself, it happens to us all .. your human!! Almost there, Friday tomorrow 🙂
Jean, how are you and Steve getting on with your day?
Keep going fasters .. not long now x
We are OK here…feeling a bit peckish…think it’s brew time…Steve in the garage working but he will be coming in soon he said it’s quite chilly..
I was going to do some marzipan and dates sweets but can’t trust myself with the marzipan so it will have to be tomorrow …
New garage door just confirmed they are coming about 10am tomorrow so that’s good …
Pseu..
Things happen don’t beat yourself up …it’s life…are you finishing tomorrow maybe a bit early?
Minols…
Lots happening for you ..all sounds very busy and exciting…I think ringing the bell out at midnight Christmas is a really lovely idea…
How are the fasters going today?
Having a coffee now, Steve tea…he is in and very cold….
Jean x
Thanks, DF and Jean, and that’s true the week is nearly done. I doubt I’ll be finishing early, though I won’t know for sure until tomorrow.
Still not eaten so far today, I’ll see how hungry I am this evening. Getting in an extra FD would be good, but I’m not going to stress it too much, Getting ready for the Christmas party tomorrow evening will definitely be my point to relax from.
How are you other FDers doing?
Minols, that church nativity sounds fun, especially with the adults coming along on costume! Stressful I’m sure but it sounds lovely.
DF..
You jumped in before me and I missed you….
Hope you are doing well…feeling hungry today I think it’s the cold weather ..and I am sat reading usually we keep busy…
Pseu…
Looking forward to tomorrow and relaxing down to Christmas …that will be us until 2nd January…might throw some low days in but with chocolates about will be hard or impossible 😂
Jean x
Pseudo- it’s easy to feel bad after a mistake, but at least you’re not a doctor & no-one’s life was on the line! Enjoy the extra day off!
Minols- glad the last assembly went well, sounded lovely! We had a very energetic ‘donkey’ whizzing round the hall on hands & knees today, & the usual terrible singing, but apart from some pretty difficult children, all was good! Hope your Sunday nativity goes really well.
Jean & DF hope you’ve stayed strong & enjoy being ‘off’ tomorrow! Hope the garage door gets done so you can get the goodies out, Jean!
Feeling weary but have had a fun day at the holiday club. I take my (Christmas!!) hat off to all you workers who’ve been trying to resist Christmas goodies at work the last couple of weeks…we had to keep hot drinks away from the children so took it in turns to have a brew in the kitchen, where 2 boxes of chocs had been opened; I had zero willpower today & definitely indulged!! I’m one pound off losing 2 stone, so had hoped to lose that before Christmas, I don’t think it’ll happen after today!! Still, I’ve found 2 more pairs of jeans I can get into now, although maybe not again after Christmas!! FD for me tomorrow, last one!
Well done on all the losses that make up the 2 stone, hedgehog…fantastic!
And Pseu…have a lively extra day off!
I’m pausing at lunchtime when school closes and being domestic for the rest of the day. Tomorrow is OH’s birthday so bits and pieces to do. He suggested we maybe have our Christmas on Sunday this year so the boy gets a shot at some of his presents that we can’t take away with us…so I need to think food!
If your Christmas starts today…Enjoy. just hope no-one’s having to travel!
Mx
Made it to Friday, last day in the office for me this year. I was SO disappointed with my weigh-in and was 2lb up! I can’t believe it. Never mind, hopefully come January the weight will start moving again. It will be good to know I’ve something to focus on.
This may be my last post for a while, as I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get on here over the break.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, take care of yourselves, but HAVE FUN!!
I’ll see you all in January for a new start 🙂
Love to all.
DF (aka Kay xx)
Morning All…
A dull start here…
Garage door coming soon so we are up and nearly ready….a couple of cooking bits this morning my sweets, I know one is lovely the other is new to me…
A disappointment for us this morning…Steve keeps hissing at the scales on passing them this morning…he said I have kept him off everything this week and has been good…he forgets last weekend when we had a few bits and pieces, of course fish and chips Wednesday…both 1 lb on…so it’s taken me off my 2 stone off..😬….strangely I have tightened my belt to the next hole??
What weight would we be if we had continued to eat as normal pre 5.2…it’s a frightening thought..
We welcome the holiday break, there will be a few more pounds to loose..it’s Christmas and once a year…..then we will go for the big push again…hoping very much I can get Steve loosing more and off his plateau for 2018..
I spoke to my daughter yesterday, she seems a bit better. She is sleeping well but feeling very tired in the day. Looks like she has burnt herself out in all directions…she is speaking to a councillor on the phone today for 45 mins assessment…she needs to slow down and get more help at home. She has been to the library for books on mindfulness, she did a course on this a while ago and she said it will remind her what she had to do, she thought it was a good course. She wants me to phone her again which I feel much happier about as we are quite close…that was a hard one…no calls!…Christmas Day should be better I didn’t know what to expect…
Minols…
Busy time for you and nearly seeing the holiday cases packed …a good idea having Christmas a day early if you are travelling…have a great time…but still a bit to do….
DF..
A disappointment for you and us too…I think a bit of a blast off and eating will kick start us all for January…have a lovely time and Merry Christmas to you and your family…see you back in January..
Be safe on the roads ….a very busy travelling day….
Jean x
Morning everyone
Hemmy, so lovely to hear from you. I’d been thinking a lot about you over the last few weeks.
Jean, glad things seem to be settling a bit with your daughter. It’s so positive that she been to the library and booked the assessment call. Such a relief that she’s happy for you to phone her.
Minols, such a busy time for you. Hope you have a wonderful break and enjoy your early family celebrations.
Pseudo, finishing a day early – a Christmas present in itself.
DF, hope the day doesn’t drag too much, but nice that it’s the last of 2017. I know the scales were disappointing, but the FD are good for health and a Jean said, where would we be if we hadn’t found this WOL.
Hedgehogs, think you may be going solo on this FD. The jeans are a non scale victory, the numbers don’t always tell the whole story.
MStar, hope you’ve unpacked enough for Christmas to happen and that you have a relaxing time with your family.
Wednesday wasn’t too bad, chance to catch up with some old faces. Yesterday was meant to be a FD, but not sure if I came down with a cold or if my allergies were playing up, but sneezed all day and gave into the leftover Chinese takeaway. Still weight the same this morning, 2lb down from this time last month and lower than the start of the month so happy with that all things considered.
We’ve decided Christmas starts today, well maybe a couple of mince pies. Going to a neighbours tomorrow and will probably have a glass or two of something, not done that for probably around a year. Like the rest of you, a big push planned for January.
Going to try and pop by over the holiday if anyone is around, want to get back into the swing of posting. So much to thank you lovely people for. But in case we don’t cross paths before the big day, hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas. Think everyone needs a bit of a rest and a chance to relax.
Speak soon.
Lynne x
Lynne…
Glad the day went as well as they can do…it’s sad, then you catch up with lots of old friends and family and memories…it makes you wonder why we don’t all do it from time to time..not just sad times…
Let Christmas start and do a few things which you haven’t done in a while…it will be strange for a while for you and the girls…make the most you can this Christmas Phil wouldn’t want it any other way….
I shall be about over Christmas …even mumbling to myself…last year Vi from Holland was with me, chatting over the week..I wonder how she is…
A few pounds will come on over Christmas then a couple of weeks we will have them off again…as soon as the eating stops…
Enjoy your mince pies tomorrow and even a glass or two..
Jean xx
Morning everyone!
Just quickly nipping in, lots to do today. Great to see everyone’s posts, people getting into the Christmas spirit now! Lovely to see you here Lynne. 🙂
Jean, has your daughter heard of the app called Headspace? It’s a mindfulness app that talks you through guised meditation, just a few minutes a day, I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s good – I’ve downloaded it but not given it a chance yet. I think you can pay for longer sessions, but the free ones are absolutely fine and that’s what most people use.
I’ll be dipping in and out, but to those I don’t see, have a fantastic Christmas. 😀
Lynne- glad that you have neighbours to pop in to- accept any offers of company or help or they might not offer again! Will be thinking of you over the next few days…
Jean- glad that your daughter is talking again! Is she close to your daughter in America, do they talk much?
Hope everyone else has a good time over Christmas, & any travelling is not too bad!
FD going okay so far- Home-Start visit next, hopefully more Christmas crafts!
