Hmm, I need to lose weight... I have put on a bit since Christmas.. Time for those salad leaves to come back out again, lol

[Jeraly 4]

Lost 80 pounds (from an American size 26/28 to a 14/16), but the boobs are the same...I completely understand the back issue...though about a reduction, but I'm waiting until I lose the last 50...

Wow! Good for you GEG! That's amazing. What an accomplishment. You deserve a rose.

Wow - that *is* amazing - any secret tips you can offer to a massive comfort-eater?!?!?

well I'm 5'10 and currently sitting at 9st 6lbs. I am actually eating quite alot just not putting weight on.

It's my leaving party today in Glasgow so any people on here than can get to Glasgow it's all happening in the Solid Rock near Central Station from 3pm onwards.

Had good time in Newcastle the last 2 days with my aunt and she used to be a nurse before she left the NHS to follow her dreams as a garden designer. She's had me stuffing my face with sugar and poteins, not feeling a dizzy in general now but still having bouts. Probably going to feel ALOT more dizzy later today. LOL!

Aww chickie - I've been thinking about you TONS!!! Isn't it Tuesday you go? Or Wednesday? I hope the impending storms don't have any effect on your flight I am soo jealous and I just want to come and give you a great big hug!!!

Really wish I could make it up to Glasgow but we just had the final balance from the wedding planner, we have masses of credit cards to pay and I just feel like I have so much to pay for right now and no money to pay for it all - I am getting a bit worried about it actually because there are things I need to do and it's stressing me out

You'll find a way to make things work out, try not to stress too much! Hopefully you can pay things to a scheduled budget so it will make it easier to deal with.

And morning / afternoon everyone!

night out was great. Had a couple of floods of tears but it was a great night.

Well I fly out very early Wed morning and I have a lot to do so probably wont be around very much over the next few days. I've been warned not to let the up coming forcast storms worry me too much as they are supposed to have blown over by tuesday. Monday is supposed to be the worst.

Well just got my Amex statement - £330 by April 2nd - it's ok - I would prefer less but it wasn't like I wasn't expecting it. Am hoping to pay that off in full next week or the week after once I get some wages through so my bank isn't too dire!!! Want to get everything paid off by the end of the month, esp if I don't have a job from then onwards Am thinking I will have to fill my life with car boot sales and hope my last remaining uni books sell on Amazon.

Hey chick - glad you had a great time - miss you around here so you better find enough time to get on when you move!! I am so excited/nervous for you - I bet it doesn't seem quite real does it? I can imagine just going about my day-to-day trying to get everything packed and organised and running around like a headless chicken, then every now and then stopping with the realisation of "cr@p, I'm leaving the country to live in X days", feeling my stomach lurch with nerves and excitement then needed to run to the bathroom!!!

My brother and sister-in-law got stuck in Boston and then Baltimore...but eventually got home okay...seven hours later!!!

[Jeraly 4]

Well I woke in the night with what sounded like a gale - closed my window as my curtains were blowing all over the place and it annoyed me. Woke up this morning, blue sky... go figure - aren't we supposed to be due another one today though?

Sounds like it was mostly a coastal thing. Ah well, I'll have to wait until I move to tornado alley to get a bit of exciting weather

[VisaJourneyLady 33]

Grrr, got pretty wet on my way to work this morning.

But on the bright side, I got packet 3 on Saturday. Yay

Now that the I-130 has been approved, it's beginning to sink in that I'm actually going. Up to now, it's kinda seemed just like messing around with paperwork!!!! Well, I pretty much have everything apart from a few jabs for the medical, but I don't want to send it back for a while, cos we don't want to move till July or August. How long do you guys think it's safe to hang on to it? A month should be ok, right?

xxxx Stay inside and safe, all you people on the coast!!
