I don't have a title yet. I'll wait to see what is written first but it's about Marie Stopes' libel trial in 1923.

You'll be fine - I passed my driving test when I was 24 - on my 3rd attempt. I was really gutted when I first failed until I was reminded that it was not the end of the world - you just say "Oh well" and try again. Relax, be calm and smile loads - it releases happy chemicals inyour brain and makes things a whole lot better - trust me xx

My name’s Marianne, and I'd like to share my story so far...

I weighed 100kgs and had problems with my metabolism. The wonky metabolism meant eating half as much and exercising twice as much. I wasn’t sure anything could work for me. But I stumbled across an amazing program.

When the first kg’s came off I started to get really excited. Before starting the program I was always tired and I hated the way I looked. Losing weight has transformed my attitude. I’m bursting with energy and my confidence has sky-rocketed. The best part is I’m fitting into clothes that have sat in my wardrobe for years. Take a look at: http://gr8healthrus.com for more info.

I have a way to go yet before I reach my goal weight, but I know this is working. Its the first program that ever did!

Complaining? No way, it's through me that they know that song and it's through my brother that my lttle boy knows how to mosh(I'm not even sure how to do it!)

Not complaining, are you!?! Think about it, could be so much worse! They could have chosen a Girls Aloud or Spice Girls song!

If I wasn't committed to .osing weight then I would have thought to hell with the diet after eating the pizza but I didn't. It's propbably the most committed to a diet I have been though.
I'm not sure if I agree about how society makes us feel, I'm not sure if that's just an excuse. Fat isn't healthy and I don't feel that I have to be a certain weight or shape to feel good. My fiance makes me feel very good about myself and makes me feel beautiful and sexy but it doesn't make me less likely to die from heart disease when I'm older though does it! Dieting was my decision for me. I feel that for me joining Slimming World was the best decision I ever made but each to their own. We should all feel good about ourselves and losing weight for me not only benefits me but it benefits my children too.

Calm down. At the moment you seem like doing more worrying than getting ready for your thesis. The important thing is you are interested in your chosen subject. Draw a lighting plan, that wil be your guiding sketch, and write your thesis based on that.
Good luck, and good choice on the fella, I support liverpool as well

hi laura, no probs about the tv question. lol. my dd read your comment and said 'all they ever do is get someone unqualified to do stuff' ha ha.

right, you probably need a bigger than normal satellite, i am not sure of the exact size, if you look in your local paper you should be able to find someone who does motorised dishes etc. thats a good place to start, you need someone that has got a locator thing - to find the frequency - turkish is in a different direction to sky, and albanian is probably in a different direction again. you can find the frequencys on the net - just put it into google. i am guessing his cousin probably can do it - in turkiye people just get on and do everything themselves because they havent go the money to get people in, my dh fixes everything and never throws anything away, just in case, drives me mad. you might need a box under the tv, we have one, because like us they have all gone digital. the other thing i recommend is asking around in the albanian community - the guy who does our tv is turkish and comes 35 miles for us. it is good having the tv, gives a taste of the country, the culture etc as well as helping with the language. anyway, i seem to have rambled on and on. if i can help anymore dont hesitate to ask. if you've read anymore of my blog you know we have been married 19 years. dont worry about negative comments from people who don't even know you, some people use the net just to get their kicks upsetting people - he is probably some poor sad loser in real life. take care.

It was a joint decision to have children as we were married at the time. I never said I had agreed to keep quiet and after all the things that he has put me through over the years I have finally had enough.
I do not blame him for wanting to do well in life. I encouraged him when he said he was joining the Navy and moving to Cornwall. I never had nor will I ever stop him from being a part of his children's lives, he is the only one doing that.
I would never had made a decision to have children without his consent, it wouldn't have been fair and I would have known from the onset what a terrible father he would have been. He was very excited about having children, as I said before they are status symbols to him and he needs to sort out his relationship with them before they realise how they are treated by him.

Whose idea was it to have kids? If he never wanted children then can u blame him for wanting his own life back? Nice one for sticking with the agreement to stay quiet over the escaped child thing eh? Posting it on the net.

It's such a shame that some men can't face their responsibilities (if wanting to see and care for your children is a responsibility). I think it shows a level of immaturity.

Your kids seem happy though and that's the main thing.

hi, well done on losing a stone, i have struggled with food and my weight since i was 11, so i understand how you feel, and especially about not wanting our kids to be bad eaters, i have tried really hard with our two - the only thing i have done is made them both chocolate lovers :-( congratulations also on your new start in life with a new man, hope you will be very happy.
