Sorry I have not been around much lately, but we have been de-cluttering our house and OMG what an amout of clutter we accumulate, and sadly our children seem little interested in much of it. So, the charity shops are taking it with open arms.

Just to let you all know I have lost around 3 stone in weight and feel wonderful ( and everyone says I look it toooo)

Although my life has changed direction somewhat, you all remain in my thoughts and prayers and may God Bless you all.

Also Deb has asked me to remember her to you ALL. She has moved home and is very happy.

Oh! Patricia! How wonderful to hear from you again!
If you haven't already, please pop over to the poetry contest
thread and put in a submission, complete with one or more of
(or nothing but) your beautiful pictures. I miss your postings.
So happy to hear all is well--

Wow, what a pleasant surprise to see you post. We miss you!!!!

Hey Mum, glad you stopped by:) I was just thinking about you the other day in fact and am glad to see an update from you.
De-cluttering a house is so much fun, isn't it? Oh well, you will be happy when you are finished.
Take care and don't stay away too long next time:) You are missed here.

Mum---It is always nice hearing from you...Glad that things are going well.

Your 42 pounds of lost weight must be slowly crossing the 'pond' and finding my body. You're looking great
and I'm feeling unpleasantly plump.

Hi Mum!!

So very nice to hear from you!

Know what you mean about decluttering and the kids. When I moved six years ago from a home we had lived in for thirty years, I had saved many things that I assumed the girls would want. Boy was I wrong! So much for memories huh? So much also was given away.

I think that 3 stone in weight has also come my way. And its a good thing skeri did the calculations, as I was going to ask you how much 3 stone in weight was. Remember Mum USA, UK - little different language there. But gosh, 42 pounds!! Congratulations!!! Sounds better and much more in US calculations!

Anyhow, good to hear from you. When you get a chance, give us more info on how you and family are doing, and whats going on. And a poem from you would be great!

Say hi to Deb, and wish her well from me.

Hoping to hear from you again soon.

Jackie

Thanks for the update!

I'm glad you're decluttering. Can I borrow you guys lol? MIL has like 20 broken chairs in the outer garage but they're holy territory that we can't get rid of lol!
