Hello there,

That must of been nice, it's always great to be able to get together with family and friends :)

I guess some of my positives this week.

Hearing my babies laughter with silly things.

Made my own bread for hamburgers, my boys like it so much

in reply to

Hi

Nothing nicer than hearing you little one laugh,best sound in the world.

Although I do bake,I don't make bread.Tried once and it was a disaster.Bet it tasted great and the smell of new baked bread is lovely xxx

Hi there :)

It's wonderful family time, miss mine lots as we are spread out all over the country but do have a great time when we have get togethers :D

I guess my positives are

1. Finally rang and registered with a dentist (big deal for me as im so scared of them!)

2. Lost 2lb this week

3. Waking up all this week without backache (thanks to yoga)

in reply to MzMily

Hi MzMily

Great positives :-)

Good for you registering with a dentist , I also have a fear so I know how much effort that will have taken

I am open & honest with my dentist about my fear & find they do their up most to make it more comfortable for me when I go , so don't be afraid to let them know how you feel

2lb weight loss you must be pleased :-)

The yoga sounds like it is working well & helping with your back & having no pain when you wake up has to be a positive :-)

Hope you have a lovely weekend :-)

hi whywhy, hope your migraine is a lot better, nothing worse is there, o/h sends all her love, she said if i stopped eating i would probably die, dont get any better than that, love jasper xx

in reply to

Hi Mr Newton

The aura keeps coming back it is a bad one this time but I am hoping it will pass soon

Well if Mrs Newton thinks not feeding you could cause you to die then keep eating as we don't want that happening :-o

Was thinking I would never have a bet on you posting that you had lost a few pounds as one of your positives , well maybe the money kind but not the other :-D

Take Care & have a lovely weekend :-)

In a bit Mrs Newton will think she has a new man :-D

Hi,

Been a difficult week for myself and others here.

1. The support from people in this community has been a big positive.

2. Out of the blue texts messages from my youngest son yesterday.

3. Sunday dinner cooked by older son which is always a treat.

Hope everyone has a good day. :)

in reply to cleopetra

Morning.

As you said it's been a hard week for some this week,but I do think you can always find something to make you feel good.

I had a lovey chat with my granddaughter this week,forgot to put that in my positives,always good to hear from family.

The support you receive on here is great,I really don't think I'd be coping at all without the advice and support I've had

I had an mri. was in it for about 20 minutes and didn't have to press the buzzer to come out!

I had hypnotherapy before the first one and "went to my quiet place".

Yesterday, I tried mindfulness and - amazingly, it worked :)
