87 days is absolutely brilliant and not long until the magical three figures.

What really matters is YOU and not what other people think of you. You have already shown what a lovely person you are, just don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

Have a great weekend,

GT

Aw thank you all 🙂 what a lovely smattering of posts to look at 🙂

I have been reading diaries, but don't feel like I know what to say, so I have not been leaving a post. I go through phases like this.

I have had a great day so far. Went for a swim with hubby, and did 56 lengths. Feel really good about it, because I had a period of getting heart palpitations and it really spoiled my confidence in the water. I have been nervous and tense ever since, when I go for a swim - but today I was really comfortable and happy in the water 🙂

Even though money is tight with me not working, we have decided to adopt a pet rabbit. I have wanted a pet for quite some time now, but we wanted to wait until money was a bit better. However, I just think it will do me the world of good - especially with the winter coming. My husband works a lot of late nights, and it will be nice to have some furry company 🙂 So the rescue place is keeping him until we have bought and assembled the hutch etc.

I have a meeting at my new workplace at half 5. Bit nervous, but I am just going to try to relax and enjoy it. It is only expected to last 1 and 1/2 hours.

Thanks Sa,

Today was day 90. Some depression today. It is fear! I'm starting a new job in a couple of weeks, and I don't feel very confident in myself. It is not something I can force, I just have to build it up.

It will be 13 weeks since my last bet tomorrow. I am happy to say it is definitely getting easier.

I'm being more respectful and careful with money in general, it's £1.20 now for me to get a bus home from town when I could walk it in 10 minutes. I used to get the bus all the time, but I have forced myself to just walk lately. I must have saved at least a tenner in a short space of time.

Have felt a bit lonely tonight. Was a shame chat wasn't on.

Hi Freda

92 days now then... WOW! Fantastic, simple as!

I appreciate all your advice and support and would like to apologise for my stubborness in appearing not to listen. But I do, and I also know you are right and am working on myself.

Glad to read things going ok, and you'll be great in your new job, They are very lucky to have you.

Take care 🙂

Yes, I totally agree that us ex-CGs have a huge respect for money nowadays.

And don't forget that walking is much better exercise-wise than sitting in a smelly bus.

Keep up with the great work, 3 months is brilliant.

Hope the rabbit hutch comes soon, can't wait to get my furry friend 🙂

Hiya Freda,

I really got a lot out of your post to me the other day, I'm sorry though that you know how it feels to have hurtful things flung at you from your family..when your family attacks you and are totally unsupportive it can be a lonely place. But hey girl, your doing your thing and doing it well, and so pleased that the big 100 is on its way soon. Big hug.

Love Del xo
