@Former-Member I’m watching the royals on tv. I’ve seen it all before, numerous times.
Are you watching anything ?

Re: Taking the plunge
@Gazza75 That’s a rough trot. Your brother, your health. I know meds cause a lot of weight gain, it’s a huge issue. You come across as coping ok, but sometimes it’s not always the case. Always good bumping into you around the forum.

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks @Maggie, am coping except the weight. Struggling to stay motivated at work lately though. Weight is a big issue for a lot of us, not so much for the. Medical professionals it. Seems.
It's always nice to see you around to Maggie ![]()

@Former-Member Have been watching the footy and taken time out to do so but here for you again now Hon. You have had a lovely chat with Sherry and Maggie earlier and some wonderful people coming on board this evening - that is because you matter so much to us and everyone is here supporting you tonight - that means something Hon because you mean something to us. Sending you the usual love and an extra big hug tonight ![]()
@Former-Member In answer to your earlier question - yes I have meds I take for my IBS but sometimes it still flares up - nowhere near the pain I would have without meds though.
Botmy teams won today and Liverpool last night so it has been a great sport weekend for me ![]()

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks @Former-Member, brother is very selfish and ruined his life. My parents didn't deserve all the heartache especially my mum. That's life though, you never know what is going to happen
