Just a quick update. Ollie is home. His back legs just won't do what he wants. Had problems getting him in the car and out again this end. Chap next door but one came to our rescue and carried him up the steps to the house. Ollie was a dead weight and he's not a small dog so Paul had to put him down just inside the lounge door and he just lay where he put him. Have managed to get him onto a blanket and he's spark out now. The vet isn't too worried about his liver but he will have to have some treatment. He will see us again on Saturday to make sure everything is going on OK and will tell us about the treatment then. His operaion went fine and nothing that they took away was suspect in any way.

I know what you mean about the flu jab Moose but I think they are giving it me because I'm diabetic and because I'm a carer for someone who's had chemo. I don't really want it but I'd never forgive myself if I got flu and gave it OH.

I've been desperately trying to keep my eating under control and I'm quite pleased that all I've picked at is a bag of frozen strawberries - quite a lot of them - a whole 2lb bag in fact!

Weight up this morning but I'm not recording it. I'm assuming its stress related as so far I've been on track with my eating. Ollie was delivered to the vets and then I went to the shops to get him a couple of treats for later. I battled past the bread, cakes and chocolate and even picked a couple of things up and put them back again. Its a good thing there's nothing I fancy at home or it would have been down my throat by now. I'm telling myself that eating won't make me any less anxious, won't affect the outcome or even make me feel any better. In fact it will probably make me feel worse as I'll have guilt to add. Knowing something and doing it is entirely different!

Weather today is foul. The raindrops are running across the windows instead of top to bottom because of the winds. The water in the river is brown and brackish as it comes pouring down from the hills and the river has breached its banks in several places. We are fortunate that the river is low down here so no houses get flooded, its just the farmers that have to move their animals to higher ground as fields flood. The rain seems to be easing a bit as the morning progresses but the winds are still bad. Its hard to walk upright and an umbrella is useless. Roll on the shortest day. I usually like winter with the sharp crisp days and even a little snow, but this is just wet, dripping and murky.

No 2 daughter is very excited as she has finally decided to have another dog and is thinking of a Labradoodle. She's off to look at Mum and Dad this weekend and finally make up her mind. Not too sure of her choice, but still.

I've had a letter to go for my H1N1 jab. In the UK you get a letter if you are considered at risk. Wasn't thinking I needed it but I've decided that if they think I need it then I'll have it.

Hope everyone has a positive healthy day

Still the same again today! I've been trying to find things to occupy my mind today. I've just heard that the mamogram is done and OK and we now have to wait for the rest of the tests next week. Ollie has had his dinner early tonight as he can't have anything to eat after 6 pm or drink after 10 pm.

We have flood warnings for the next 24 hours where rivers are low down or where they meet the sea. We are not at risk but lots of people are being warned to move valuables upstairs and move their vehicles away from home to high ground, especially at high tide.

As part of my mind occupying tasks I've been looking at my weight loss journey. I started on January 2nd 2008 (joined FS in April 08). If I average out the total weight I've lost, if I don't lose any more before 2nd Jan '10 I'll have averaged a pound and a half a week. Seeing it set out like that was quite uplifting. I've sorted out my banking, written lists and organised everything under the sun to keep mind occupied. Don't know what I'm going to do with myself tomorrow until we can go and pick him up! Hopefully it won't be snacking!

Weight has stayed the same this week. I have eaten lunch out twice this week and I notice that whenever I eat away from home I either put on or stay the same. It doesn't seem to matter whether I stay within my calories or not. I think what you eat makes as much of a difference as well as how much you eat. Getting a bit stressed this week - my daughter is going for her yearly check up on Wednesday, Ollie is having his operation on Thursday and OH is waiting for a date for his scan. I can feel the tension mounting. Don't think DD has anything to worry about but she goes for a mammogram on her remaining breast, blood tests etc on Wed and then we have to wait til the following Wed to see the consultant for the results and physical examination.

On the good side, I can see my shape changing again. When I put my jacket on to go shopping this morning I could wrap it right over way past the buttons. Hope it will last me over the winter. Don't want to have to buy another one until next year. I thought about moving the buttons over but it wouldn't hang right. Just have to put a thicker jumper under it! I've bought my christmas outfit - size smaller too.

Weather yesterday was horrible. Dark, wet and blowing a gale. We had the light on for most of the day. Today has been quite good in contrast with some weak sunshine and I was able to get out for a walk. Forecast for the rest of the week is dire with flash flood warnings for lots of places. Glad we're high up.

Have a positive happy day
