I have been gone suuuch a long time!!!!

I am so sorry fellow wishers!!!

I have been so busy this year - what with college and the kids and everything!!!!

Anyway, I passed this first year of College - Top of the Class!!!!
And now I 'm going back to the beginning - starting Year 1 of a degree in marketing instead - I only have to do 3 subjects tho' so I'm doing Italian as well. Just get an extra grant if I start again - go figure.

I have also just given up smoking finally - well 4 weeks ago to be precise - just wanted to wait a while before I announced it!!!

I started Atkins in March last year and it is soo weird - It's as if by proving that I can control my body weight - I've managed to control my life!!!

I've gotten divorced- not always a good thing but ex was psychologically(sp) abusive so in my case, it was!!
I've got the house and all bills in MY name!!!!
I've finally started getting an education!
I've got a wonderful caring boyfriend!
I've given up smoking - put on a few lbs - but nothing that hasn't already started to drop back off.
And I managed to sort myself out financially - even got 2 credit cards - holy poo - never managed to get credit before - I was such a mess!!!
The BEST thing ever - I joined a gym and did a combat class - aerobics punching and stuff - and I didn't fall over gasping at the end - in fact I felt great!!!! sweaty but great. I have never managed to keep up in a class before - it was sooo cool!!!!

Anyways - I'm off to Barcelona with Danny, Colin(boyfriend) and his 2 daughters for a fortnight and then off to Paris at the end of August - just Colin and me as we need some non-kid time together - for a few days.
I'll catch up with everyone soon - promise. XXXXX
