I used to go to school with a girl called Alesha Axelby in the early 90's.

My husband proposed to me at the top of " Skew Hill " in Golden gate park san francisco and it was wonderful. I chose the ring but I didn't know when he was planning to propose so it was still a suprise. My ring cost £800 but it wouldn't have mattered if it cost £80 as long as I liked it, the important thing is what it represents.

I found centreparcs very very over priced. Not bad if you only have 1 child to occupy but more than that and you're looking at taking out a bank loan:o

I've used Rhm cars, brilliant drivers and very reliable:)

I bought a van off ebay a year or so ago, cost £800, described as a good work horse had just gone through an mot and had no faults what so ever!!! Went to pick it up from Blackburn, in the snow, drove it down this blokes drive, straight onto the motorway......and the engine dropped out:rant: Had to pay to be towed to sheffield, got no money back ( sold as seen, not described) and spent another £800 on a new engine and radiator , only to sell it for £300 a month later because it needed yet more work doing to it. My advice....Don't buy vehicles off ebay:)

Does the Loch ness monster?????

I love my husband dearly (despite his faults) and do plan to spend the rest of my life with him. It's really hard work to keep a marriage alive, sometimes you forget what it was that brought you together initially but you have to refresh your memories by re-inacting them again. Many times we have visited places we went to when we first got together just to get those feelings back and to remind ourselves of the type of people we were prior to marriage, mortgages and kids. I would never consider cheating as I believe that 9 times out of 10 people who stray do so because their marriage has lost it's spark and they think they can find it in somebody else. Sad truth is ( and I say this from experience) if you can't take the time to work through the rough patches with your partner then the likely hood is that you will find yourself in exactly the same situation - just with someone new.

Wiil Pm you tonight or tomorrow Leanne xxxxxxxx

Oh Hazel, you have just made me cry:) What a sweetheart you are...... you are right about the way I look at my husband...he does have a bit of a belly and is balding at the back, but I just don't see it even though he is very self concious about his appearance. I'm only 28 and he is 30 so I don't have hang ups about aging or anything yet, I think I have just got stuck in a rut with day to day life and don't like the way things are going for me, even though I am happy with every other aspect of my life, I.e) My marriage, kids, work etc. I am trying to change the way I see myself, I have always believed that if you are confident in yourself then you portray that to others, making you feel and look more attractive. I am off out tomorrow night so I may throw caution to the wind and show off my newly aquired 40E bosoms:D

You are spot on about my mother, she does have a nice side but it doesn't surface very often:( I think where she is concerned I will just have to learn to turn the other cheek.

What!! like Thorntons viennesse truffles you mean:D I do eat a lot but I don't eat fatty foods often. I suppose deep down I've accepted that this is the size I am meant to be as I always end up back at the same weight regardless of how many times I diet, I just want to accept myself the way I am and be happy with it:) Oh, and my mother's diet consists of: Not eating exercising 12 times a day Taking Soya lecthin capsules And the odd laxative I should imagine!!!!! Not a route I would follow!!!

Ahh, Thanks all:) I know that my hubby loves me for who I am and that the issues I have with myself are self inflicted but I can't help the way I feel. I am an outwardly bubbly, loud, social person so I tend to come across as confident but that isn't always the case. Things have been made worse recently as my mother has had a midlife crisis and decided to diet. She has done fantastic ( lost 4 stone in 6 months) but is constantly rubbing my face in it, i.e) making snide coments about the amount I eat, giving me her old clothes whilst telling me that they just hang off HER now, coming to my house and flaunting her boobs and thighs off in front of my husband:mad: I have dieted before and lost 3 stone but was never happy because i'm a foodie, my whole social life revolves around it, so needless to say when I first met my hubby the nights out at bars and restaurants soon took it's toll on my slimmer figure. I was 10 stone when we met and 3 and a half years later I'm 14 stone, struggling to get in a 16, gone from a 34 C to a 40 E bra ( which my hubby definatly doesn't mind) and look crap in everything remotely fashionable:rolleyes: I could cope with putting the weight on if I didn't feel like a bag of .... in almost everything I wear:D

I've heard it said so many times that a person can never truly be happy until they learn to love themselves, but how do you do this? I'm a typical woman, put on a few stone since I met my hubby, very content with life, I have three wonderful children and an amazing fella at my side but can never be satisfied with what I've got. There always seems to be something that could do with changing, being better or purely something I crave to have but can't. Like, at the moment, It's my weight - nothing fit's or looks right, I'm pulling myself down all the time, wishing I were thinner and better looking. My hubby tells me I'm beautiful and I reply by saying something like " you obviously havn't been to specsavers then!" or " Have you seen me naked!!?". I know I'm a good looking woman and I know that I can look good when I put my mind to it but I cant say that I love myself because I am constantly wanting to change the way I am. I would love to wake up one morning, look in the mirror and be able to say " this is me, this is who I am, and you ain't half hot":D If anyone knows the secret of how to accept yourself the way you are and be happy with your lot could you please share it Also, is it just me or is this a common ailment in women? Muchas Thankas
