The Hotel and menu had me wanting to be there and now the illuminations.... wow, wow, wow.

I so wish I had the courage for me, hubby and mom to go away (in the UK) - I am just so scared - scared for my mom too.  I am fine with the wearing of masks, however most don't wear them now and I can't help wonder how do we know if anyone has coughed on the food..... do they still wear masks in the kitchens - and the loo's how do you manage with the loos.  I have the family saying 'you can't live like this forever, you need to get out' - I understand this, but, I am so out of condition, have various health conditions and on top of this over-weight - I'd stand no chance (my cousin has just lost his wife to covid, she was 62 and had had both vaccinations). HELP !!!!

Other than this Fruit Loops I'm trying to catch up on all the posts - I was thinking of Mrsox earlier.... and smiling thinking of how we were Fruit Loops and others Riff Raff - fun times whilst going thought the rollercoaster of a ride that this is.....

Hey Helen - did you get a rollercoaster photo - the ride now of us wanted to get on - we didn't jump we were pushed.

Thinking of you all and sending lots of love and hugs xxxxx

Wowwww Northerner, that break sounds great £216 for 3 nights (okay, you can no see I've not been away for what seems like forever.... what does DBB mean ... is it double bed ??)  and as if this wasn't good enough Snowys Mum pops on with the 'sleep overs' ..... this would really feel more comfortable for me - for starters, just the one night away and work up to more .... plus the breakfast yum (if I could find courage to do this).

This gives me hope that we will get away - I was thinking if we could get a caravan or a chalet - this now adds other options hmmmm - thank you both.

Owww dearest Violet Violetsniff,  Ihope you took your coat off before they weighed you..... mind you, if it was me, I'd of left my coat on for my 'first' weigh in hahaha.... Well done you on joining weight watchers.  I went there many years ago and lost some 2 stone and although I can't remember how, I know at the time it seemed very easy.

I so desperately need to loose weight and get fit.  I am eating everything and anything and not walking at all at the moment,  I need to get motivated and start (reason I say this my blood sugars are through the roof - I need to do something).  For some reason at the moment I just can't find my willpower to avoid sweets, biscuits, you name it and I'll eat it.  

You sweetheart my just be my inspiration - I am rooting for you, you can do this.

Sending love and hugs xxx

Just before I head off (so now it is 2:10 am !! I was going 15 minutes ago.  

I can't see any recent posts from LondonLass do you know if Sal and Lucky Pants are okay??  

That's it - I'm going now xxxx

Just missed you by 40 minutes or so.  2.50 now. Silly time to be awake. I was falling asleep watching Bake Off so went to bed early. Slept 4 hours 9 30 to 1.30 and haven't been able to get back to sleep so given up now. Good to catch up on recent posts.I made tea and will try again soon. Enjoy seeing and hearing about short break trips.

Long day yesterday.  7 hours travel to get treatment in Cambridge.  New GP has advised it would be better to stay rather than transfer.   He said the oncology team obviously know me well and details could get missed if I transfer. In other words he was saying what we all know to be true that doctors no longer have time to read notes properly. 

Lovely weekend.  Eldest son's wedding.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to say I am awake too.. well haven’t really slept properly for days now. But hello

What a beautiful bride......and you look lovely too.

It was obviously a great day.....

It's a nuisance you have to keep travelling back to Cambridge but is your treatment nearly finished? Once or twice a year wouldn't be so bad, I suppose.We have got so used to travelling distances to specialists here but not that far. I am hoping you are now back to sleep.

WhatHappened.......I can understand your concerns. Numbers of new cases are still very high in UK. It seems people think this is acceptable. Does the vaccine really work that well? It does seem to be. Most people I know who have said they caught it since vaccination seem to be recovering. Perhaps you needn't worry? I think I would feel differently if I lived in the UK because people have kept wearing masks here and only vaccinated people are allowed in cafes,  restaurants ,big shopping centres and events. Plus a large number of 12 to 17 year olds were vaccinated before returning to school . Today the French government are going to review restrictions.....maybe localise them.....but I wouldn't mind if they leave them. However, this doesn't help you. I think the time is approaching where you have to chat to someone about your fears because it is obviously affecting your health. Could you drive to ssomewhere quieter to take a walk......?.I don't know where you live. Slimming world is online. Could you join that to help with the biscuits? They have easy charts to fill in which counts your daily allowances. It gives you an incentive to stop munching.......You'll feel more self confident then when you do feel like going out. I hope you can find a solution which suits you.

I have to go now. I have an early appointment this morning. Pyjamas is never a good look!.....

Take care all. Love Karen

Hi Daizy03, 

to the Group! 

Sorry you have been unable to sleep. It’s horrid when you are awake in the night. Your mind goes into overdrive and you have thoughts that really aren’t useful. However you have now discovered this thread and I am sure if you introduce yourself and give others an idea of what’s happening, then others will be able to offer advice, support or just a virtual hug! 

They are a lovely bunch of people on here. Completely nuts, but hearts of gold. We are aptly named the Fruit Loops, which I’m sure will make perfect sense if you read through some of the posts! 

I hope you stick around and make some new friends. If there is one thing I have learnt through all this, it’s that the friends you make on here are some of the most amazing friends that you will ever have! Xxx
