hi learningtolovewinter....and welcome..will it get easier you say?probably a lot easier than writing that title down every time!!:H.you should be on day 4 now so go for it

A little inside info on my screen name: it serves as a bit of a reminder of how I need to look at my 'new' life. I've just moved from the Caribbean to the north of Europe. I was doing okay until this little cold snap and now I am feeling all negative again. At least it isn't dark at 4:30 anymore! (Whoops am I complaining? Naughty me).

Evening Abbers, very quick check in from me as off for seriously early night (that's the plan at the moment btw Mick - bath & bed!). KY, yes I'd like to stick around this time. Don't want to say too much at the moment because I seem to just set myself up for failure when I do. Only have myself to be accountable to and too easy to say WTF. Actually used some willpower this week when normally with cravings as they were I would have caved. Much easier this evening, dare I say that out loud. Hope all well and happy (get well soon Lav). Being a bit selfish at the moment (sorry) in early quit (yes another!) but I do read and value all your posts. Never give up giving up, right

in the clear

Just had a soup, going to bed. Made it! Funny I was looking at my signature and it says March 10th- I thought 'holy crap, is that IT?' Sunday feels like it was maybe a week or more ago? Somehow this site really does motivate me to behave myself (I won't elaborate, don't wanna jinx myself). Off to dreamland.

Have a good night LTLW....:goodjob: on making it through day 4. You can start the thread anytime you want to. Sometimes it's a little hard to beat TT though 'cause when she's not this busy she's starting tomorrow's thread today. You'll figure it out. And sometimes we get two threads started at once. So nope, no rules.

FF...you be as selfish as you need to be. That was a hard one for me, felt I always had to do for others, then MWO straightened me out Early night is on the books for me too.

Lav...bet you either felt better or dead after curves this morning. :H See you on the morrow.

Have to go out and do a bit of canvassing for the garden tonight, but it shouldn't take long, think I have 4 houses left.

Hope everyone has a peaceful night....PPQP

Actually, 2012 was a year ago, but perhaps moving to Europe did a number on your internal clock :H:H Great stuff on another day done and dusted. And start the threads any time. I'm down under too, but behind TT and Kuya, so I'm a day ahead but a bit behind

Hi FF - great to see you sticking round and getting another day done too.

Lav - Impressed you got to curves. Any sign of spring coming to your parts yet?

PPQ - your job sounds really interesting - another creative one in our midst!

It's raining this morning! And on a sprinkler day, so we can save our water!! Easily excited, I am Off to walk doggy ...

Blondie...was wondering where you got 2012 from until it dawned on me it's in LTLW's signature. Duh!

Also wondering if we should clue Mick in on who Thomas is.....naw, let him wonder. :H

Easily excited is better than a cheap date IMHO....enjoy your walk....PPQP

Thanks for clarifying - my ref to LTLW's date was a bit obscure!

Mick'll come up with a load of train jokes now - just watch!!

A cheap date - could never have been accused of being one of them :H:H

Not walked yet - waiting on partner - he's got a day off, so probably going out for lunch later. Lovely to actually eat rather than drink lunch !

Oh, dear. Thanks, initially I had no idea what you were referring to with your 2012 comment.

Congrats on Day 4, LTLW. I'm glad you started the thread today and felt comfortable enough to just jump on in. Don't think about forever; for now just one day at a time is good. Thinking about the long term becomes a lot less intimidating once you have a little time under your belt.

It's good to see lots of posts at the end of the day. I know that I'm in very good company!

I'm very excited. I have gotten 4 new clients in the last week and a half. That will provide a nice bump in my income if they should keep coming. Keeping fingers crossed.....

Anyway, I found "The Far Pavilions" on sale at Costco, so I am going to settle in and watch it. I haven't seen it for years. I just hope it is as good as I remember it being.

Hugs to all!

:hallo: YahYah...I agree with you about the posts at the end of the day. I would always post first thing in the morning and then get home from work, dinner, chores, etc. and not log on again till the next morning. Been missing lots of quality time with very good company indeed.

Congrats on the new clients got my fingers crossed for you.

Ignorance showing now...never heard of "The Far Pavilions"...must look it up after I return from my canvassing.....enjoy your evening....PPQP

Still doing good. Busy with yoga and cleaning the house out. We are moving to a better place....but, smaller. Which means I have get rid of a lot of stuff. It is amazing to me how much shit I have....that I simply do not need. Its all going to Goodwill and I feel good stopping there everyday to drop stuff off. Why should I hoard it....when someone else can use it?

SF...good to hear things are still going good. :goodjob:

When you first told us about your encounters with your new neighbours I felt it sounded like the perfect place for you to be....

Personally, dealing with divorce, finding a place to live, my Dad moving into long term care, etc. and all the downsizing required I thought why have it? Not taking it with me!

Life can be so much simpler if we let it.

So glad you checked in and am looking forward to your positive posts about your new homestead and life.....PPQP

Evening all - checking in, long day - started with trip to dentist, clear bill of health - something right!
Busy day - but........driving home I realised that I really enjoy being AF, I like it - something is changing.....I got home and realised I had run out of eggs, almost went to store, not craving, but I decided not to even risk it - feeling too good - so it is almost 8pm and I am liking this!
Too much sugar too Blondie - but it does help me, will tackle the weight soon.
Mick, what do you want to know about Blondies gift of Thomas to me????
Hi to new faces, it is nice that it busy in here, the more the merrier!
KY - it is still winter here, and a chilly 82 degrees - seriously!! 82 in winter - the weather is crazy, we will be heading to drought this summer. Still haven't caught a sunbeam yet though Cat - how about you???
KY - could this really be "it" - do you think I have got "it" - so hoping so, I have been so jealous of hearing you all talking about getting there - and I had no idea what you meant, hoping maybe I do now :l:l
