Today I stood outside of KFC and enjoyed a fillet burger after my 1 hour gym session! I didn’t bother bringing it home for DP to see as I already had a Starbucks frappe and a slice of cake this afternoon😂

What’s your secret of the week/month?

I drank a really nice bottle of wine that I'd bought my sister for Christmas. 🙊

Bobshhh · 16/11/2022 07:57

It's not something I've done but very very quietly I think I might finally be pregnant, I had some spotting last night but no othe sign today of my period. One miscarriage and 6 months of not even a sniff of successful conception, I'm trying to not get too excited.

I’m having piano lessons. Nobody knows except my driving instructor!

I can’t have them that often as my teacher has a very full schedule, and only has gaps every now and then, but I’m really enjoying it and loving the challenge - it’s never too late!

I haven’t told DH as I want to get to a point where I’m good enough to play something nice as a surprise for him and DS.

I highly recommend it - I thought I’d find it impossibly hard as I have no musical background, but it’s an alright level of difficulty. And my teacher told me I have almost perfect pitch, which was a nice surprise.

VestaTilley · 16/11/2022 08:04

@Bobshhh I really hope it works out for you, 💐

VestaTilley · 16/11/2022 08:11

I really hope you’re ok @AnxietyIsMyShadow - are you getting any help?

I felt like this when I had undiagnosed PND and anxiety. Sertraline and CBT helped a lot.

Please don’t leave your children- they do need you, and they would never get over it. Please go back to the Doctor again and again until you get help.

Full body massage and she gave me the most incredible orgasm - and no I’m not a lesbian, it just happened. I may share that with my husband but I kinda enjoy the naughtiness of it.

Took a young homeless man in and got him back to his family. Spoke to him and his mum today. All good. I'm so delighted.

That's truly awesome!

Ragwort · 16/11/2022 08:21

I also had a really lazy day ... it was my day off yesterday - DH (retired) is away & I love having an empty house to myself so I planned a really constructive day, sorting out the clutter, starting on my Christmas cards etc etc .. I just made some nice meals all for myself and binge watched the Crown whilst drinking wine Grin.

Started listening to hypnosis tracks on Spotify at bed time to help with my mental health. DH would think I’ve gone mad so I just pop my AirPods in once he’s gone to sleep in 5 seconds flat. No one knows that I’m literally on the verge of a mental breakdown 😔.

JaneFondue · 16/11/2022 08:27

Decided to distance myself from some friends. Won't be telling them why because it is the adult way.

Ate the whole of my advent calendar in one go.
I'm sixty Blush

I don’t celebrate Christmas so I’ve never had an advent calendar but if I did, this is certainly something I would have done😂😂😂 I hope you enjoyed it and didn’t feel too sick afterwards!

Had an offer accepted on a new house yesterday Smile can't quite believe it. One step closer to leaving my lazy, financially abusive ex fiancé.

Congratulations! Enjoy the new home and fresh start x

Really sorry to hear that. Are you able to speak with any friends/family/DH who may be able to support you with practical or emotional support? I do hope things get better as it’s so difficult to carry on with day to day life when you feel so awful x

Booked an induction to evict baby number 3 for 2 weeks time! DH knows but that's it. We don't want people messaging us on the day asking how it's going so we'll just tell my mum the day before as she's having the other 2 kids.

@Bathtubbathing
One meal a day fasting.

I realise that will sound like an ED to the uninitiated but fasting is so good for you, reduces risk of cancer, dementia, diabetes, etc, etc.

My one meal is around 2k calories too.

I have asd and am very rule bound so it works well for me. I'll keep on it until I get bored but I expect my weight to stabilise now given the high food intake.

there's no way it's good for diabetes letting your blood sugar get so low 🤦🏽‍♀️ plus it would give a lot of the population migraines

A builder working in my house has repeatedly made the most offensive, sexist comments to me. I cannot sack him as the job isn't finished. So I get my revenge by peeing into his tea mug (that he leaves here overnight) and leaving it overnight before lightly rinsing it out in the morning.

Leave a honest review anywhere able, Google, SM etc.

I've received the cost of living payment, one of my adult children would expect me to treat them (or my GC) so I've not mentioned it and they won't be sure that I'm eligible.

JustKeepSlimming · 16/11/2022 09:02

I've started a diet. Can't tell DH because he'd laugh, and I don't think anyone else would be interested. I've started a proper weight loss journal and everything. Lost 1lb so far!

inthedeepshade · 16/11/2022 09:10

Cashed in some shares to tide me over until the end of my mat leave. I am skint!

VeronicaFranklin · 16/11/2022 09:12

Went to the dentist and left my DD with my husband for an hour... then afterwards had a little drive around just to enjoy the peace and quiet...when I got home I told DH the traffic had been a nightmare!

tryingtostopit · 16/11/2022 00:52

Well Done!!

I'm hoping this will be me in a week's time.
Today is my first day with no alcohol in a few years.. I've been drinking a lot everyday.

I know it's going to be incredibly hard but I did give up for about 10 years before.

Hope it's going well for you. It will be so worth it! Congratulations on getting through your first day. I'll be thinking of you!

I really really hate my job. To the point that it has made me physically ill.
So I applied for some other jobs and have this week accepted an offer and signed the contract.

CONGRATULATIONS!! What wonderful news! I'm thrilled for you. What a transformation this will be, to get up in the morning and not dread work.

Treesandsheepeverywhere · 16/11/2022 09:27

Well done @JustKeepSlimming , 1lbs at a time.

I've had a shopping and binge eating week. The guy at the Post office has started giving me looks when I take returns in, probably imagining it but it's slowly shaming me to stop.
DH doesn't know about the rating as I do so when he's gone to bed.

Thanks, I’m not able to speak to my doctor or employer as I have a new job and need a good reference and to pass a health check. My current job is what’s causing my issues so I really need this new job! I’m kind of stuck in limbo at the moment. DH is too practical to bother trying to talk to and he’s under enough stress of his own at work ☹️.

Marmighty · 16/11/2022 13:28

Booked tomorrow and Friday off work and haven't told my family. I will have a long bath, meet a friend for coffee (or wine) and potter about.

Stretchandsnap · 16/11/2022 13:36

Ordered a kebab for my lunch as I am sick to the back teeth of working from home sandwiches - it arrives in 3 mins and I can’t wait
