Just when I thought I could manage weight loss alone, it turns out that I can't. So I headed off to my local Slimming World. I was a nervous wreck when I walked in, I had to wait some time before the consultant started her talk about how the plan works. I have lost half a stone so far and feel better for it

Also my Dad has been put into a care home, he's been diagnosed with Alzheimers, he's gone down hill since my Mum died back in April,they were married for over 60 years, he's lost without her which is perfectly natural. I have to travel up to Edinburgh to see him, but its worth the journey.

Ok so our office split into 2 nearly two years ago now and when the admin team left they took all the christmas decoration with them. I love christmas and I love decorating my office desk and my home. Last year I was in an office with 2 others who also love christmas so I got load of decorations for all our desks. They were cheap and tacky but did the job and we loved them.
This year I got the decoration out and ready but I came into office today to find someone had used my decorations to decorate my office. I was really annoyed as they 1st they took my fun away (oh btw I add on the time spent decorating to end of the day so I don't waste work time) and 2nd they used my decorations that I paid for and put them where they wanted them to be.

Am I right to be annoyed??

Write a letter to Santa and get that person put on the naughty list

Nah ..its your property, your fun. Not right for them to mess with. I would have a quick trawl i the local pound shop see if there is anything christmasy in their that you can place on your desk to cheer you up.

Pyro, my aunt is in a care home, best place she can be, she is loved by us visiting her and looked after brilliantly by professionals.

Its December, it can only mean one thing, Christmastime. Last week I dusted off last years Advent Calendars, they do look pretty, also bought another Advent Candle, ( Care and fire awareness has been taken to keep it away from fire prone objects. Spent most of the weekend signing Christmas cards, I have done quite a few so far, going to post them off this week. I have also baked ( my first and I might say best) a Slimming World Christmas cake ( the recipe is on their website) result? one brilliant cake!! 10 syns per slice. However the Christmas pudding was not so good, water got into the mixture ( via the pressure cooker and the fact the bowl wasn't sealed with string properly)and it resembles a delflated flying saucer Luckily I have some spare mixture left so will attempt a second one and add some stout to it ( left it out) however this time I will put the water into the pressure cooker afterwards and then steam it!! Here's hoping for a less deflated pudding!!
