Hi everyone,
I'm still here but have had a busy week helping DIL get their house ready, they move out of my house next week and it's breaking my heart. They've been here since November, they moved in to support me and DH through the surgery and recovery and to give my youngest DS and his GF an opportunity to save up some money, clear student overdrafts and "play house" as it was the first time they've lived together outside a shared house. So loves young dream moved into eldest DS's house and agreed to cover the bills but didn't need to pay any rent (they have a lovely landlady 
). Eldest DS, DIL and GC who are with them Sat - Tue each week moved in with us. They are expecting their first baby together in September and youngest DS moved out last week so that they can move back to their house.
I have got so used to having them here, it's horrible to think that next time DH goes away on business I will have some agency carer here overnight as a waking carer to respond to the alarms on my ventilator. But I know they need to go and build a nest for baby Alfie when he arrives, the GC are looking forward to being closer to school, it's about five minutes less walking time and coming to us for "proper sleepovers". I won't miss their mess or the constant running out of milk, fruit and washing powder but I will miss the early morning cuddles, waking up to find a warm little body next to me in bed, the hours of playing with glue and glitter in my studio and the giggles.
I have started training again, having not walked at all for six weeks I'm up to 250 steps, roll on GNR2019
Moist wow you look incredible and yes you need new trousers, about two sizes smaller.
Oldbooks I've been allowing carb creep too, I'm going to do an egg fast if you want to join me.
Cleareyes your post brought tears to my eyes because I could have written it myself word for word, especially letting myself go and not caring about my appearance anymore.
Wayoftheworld your egg fast results were fantastic.
Namaste bitches
