Comic by Rosemary Mosco which made me smile.

How's it going this week? Anything spectacular happen? Or, indeed, anything pretty good but small-scale?

Come and tell us all about it, either way.

  2. Four weeks since I had a cigarette. Still not easy, sleep is terrible, and cravings are worse, but still holding out.

  3. Radiators got flushed yesterday so this morning is the first in over a week that I’ve not had breakfast with my gloves on. Blissful warmth ❤️

    (It’s also my first day back at work after 2 weeks, but we’ll save that for tomorrow’s complaints thread..)

  4. Hit 45lb weight loss finally. Hit a really annoying plateau and apparently it’s ended and the weight is coming off again thankfully! Cold though. Less insulation is real

  5. I’ve managed to squeeze in a quick haircut with my stylist before she goes on maternity leave. Thank goodness. My fringe is currently channeling Claudia Winkleman crossed with a highland cow, and I can barely see.

    Having a haircut is generally a win tbh, especially when you get a good head massage!

  6. The winter ducks are back at the Spar shop (I’d post a picture but rule 11 sucks), and I just had 5 Robins in the garden waiting for the morning feast delivery

    Its may not be much but it lightens the gloom

  7. It’s payday and also tattoo day! Just got to get through work. Only 2 weeks left and I’m leaving though!

  8. I have an idea for a variation on a Bakewell Pudding where the filling is made the same way as the Italian Ricciarelli biscuits, rather than a true frangipane. I may live to regret this.

  9. Picked up my glasses yesterday. We’re due 10c on Friday after -7 for days. Trying to stay positive in the work chaos and look at these nice things lol 

  11. 3 years sober my dudes. Off to cinema with the mrs to watch Now You See Me, probably the only people in the world not watching Wicked, then we’re gonna pick up a chicken kebab after.

  12. I was supposed to be going to the cinema tonight but a friend cancelled feeling poorly. after been out in the elements today I can just snuggle up and get cozy for the afternoon/evening!

  13. I’m about to get up and make myself a cuppa. I’ve been struggling with my mental health recently and I don’t think it’s helping that I’m spending half my day in bed all the time, so today I’m going to get up at a sensible time.

  14. I’ve been staying in a homeless hostel, I’m out of work, been battling depression and addiction most of my adult life. I think short of a family bereavement or a major physical illness, my circumstances could scarcely be worse.

    …but I’m going to utilise a free gym session in town today and lift some weights for the first time in months.

    I wish all of you the best, this is a difficult time of year for many.

  15. Unexpectedly had four rounds of Mohs surgery yesterday (in the hospital literally all day) on my face right across my eyebrow and towards my eye. Somehow woke up today with minimal pain, hardly any swelling and without the massive black eye I was convinced I would end up with. Definitely counting this as a win!

  16. We had our monthly company meeting yesterday and it was all about nominations for idea of the year. I’ve only been at this place three months and had two ideas in the list, so i’m proper buzzing!

  17. Not a win but a funny.

    The train from Manchester on Sunday was so funny.

    Boy near us saying on the phone to his mate, that he woke up on a sofa in a Chinese restaurant. Didn’t know how he got there lost a shoe and the police woke him up. Told him to go and to find his way back to his hotel. They said that on the security camera he lifted the shutter and got in that way.

  18. I managed to get a few hours of deep sleep last night. After weeks of god-awful sleep, I don’t feel like absolute death this morning. I dont feel like I’m going to burst into tears at the slightest thing, either. Which is nice.

  19. This will be quite a vague post as this is my main account and a few friends know this is me, but I realised yesterday that it’s been an entire year since I stopped a very destructive and addictive behaviour that had been going on for 15 years previously.

    Just bought myself a commemorative piece of jewellery to mark the occasion and I’m feeling reflective, proud and quite emotional all at once.

  20. Today was a beautifully cold morning – blue sky, frost on the trees and hills, that almost eerie silence that comes with the cold… it felt special. I’m happy in any weather as long as I have the right clothing so today’s choice of extra warm jumper without knowing what it was like outside was a very welcome surprise.

    Also, my girlfriend’s cousin is getting married next August and we’ve been invited to the reception after, so I’m using it as a deadline to get in to some sort of shape that isn’t generally round. I’m terrible with self motivation so having something to work towards like this is a big help.

  21. Got a new anti fatigue mat at work.

    It’s not where I stand 90% of the time, but the thought counts.
