Hey K
Hows that new hair do looking babe?! Wow, what with your new hair, two perfectly shaped eyebrows (as opposed to one LOL), AND your skinny jeans……..Sydney just wont know what hit it!!!!! Britney can just exit-stage left, while the spotlight shines on our kathryn! OOOH you must be so excited. I;m excited for you!
Good on you for getting bailey sorted with his school work. Wont mr gorgeous be proud of you!? haha. (ok enough said by me bout teachers, we’ll keep THAT to ourselves LOL).
God i so feel for Jode with the wedding debacle! I am always so glad to receive a wedding invitation, as a guest, just to know i can wear whatever i damn well want! What is it with some brides who choose hideous and unflattering outfits? i’m sure there must be some weird psychology behind the phenomenon, but i’m blowed if i know what it is!!
Sadly, i think my advice to her would be ‘suck it all in baby, suck it up, and wear the damn dress with a sense of humour, and a very large glass of gin and tonic on the side!!!’ (think patsy. Abfab. She wore some godawful outfits but she was always hysterically glamourous and gorgeous despite all that satin/chintz/lycra) Much love jodes.xxxx
Thanks for your lovely post on my thread chook. I am accepting of what ‘just IS’. its all about serenity isn’t it.
However, i fully reserve the right to completely change my attitude and outlook, at the first sign of this woman getting involved in my childrens lives and messing with their heads. serenity could all go out the window! haha. (i hope not! will keep you posted)
Big big hugs, hope the hair didnt fall out.
Love and light

Hows the back today?! I truly hope it is easing for you. Gotta get in tip-top shape for a good boogie in sydney eh!!!???
It was lovely to chat last night (as always) and i hope you are having a good weekend with mum and sis!
Love, light and BIG hugs

P.S. – marilee, You crack me up! i LOVED the story about shrinking the jeans with garden hose (god that must’ve felt hideous!). Sadly they dont make denim like they did in the good old days though eh. Back then denim lasted for years!! As for the sausage casing/explosion theory. WELL!!!! I nearly wet my spanx pants! LOL. xxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"LOL LOL LOL!!!!!
Isn’t it funny too, how these young sales assistants always seem to be about size 6!!!!!? Yay for spanx pants eh!
When i got my skinny jeans i had a similar experience and suggested to the lovely girl who perservered with me that they should put in a larger cubicle (for us less agile ladies) with a small bed in it! so that we could at least lie down to try the jeans on…………..or if we got too exhausted from the whole experience we could just stop for a little nap!!! haha!
I’d hazard a guess that jode might have set ya up!!!! after the drum therapy episode I reckon i’d get one back on ya too! LOL!
Glad to hear today was a new day and felt brighter!
Much love and light
Meg xxxxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hi Chook

I’m looking forward to reading more about your skinny-jeans-shopping-adventures….. coz NOONE can tell a funny shopping story quite like you can!!! LOL.
LOve and light

"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hi Kathryn
Like you, i create a visual image of everything that plays in my mind like a wee movie…. so the visual of your trip to swimming had me in fits!!! Especially the part about trying to look cool infront of the easy-on-the eye teacher, while gasping for oxygen. LOL.
But then marilee’s post about the toilet olympics……!! Hahaha hahaha The visuals on THAT one were even funnier. Thanks for the laugh this morning girls. yes marilee, the aussies are probably all nuts enough to hold such competitions!! hehe. And the award for ‘best banshee-ing mother outside a childs toilet cubicle’ goes to….(drumroll please)………………. KATHRYN!!!!!!
Have a great day!
Love and light
Meg xxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hello my friend
I was just reading about your day too… (no, by the way – i didn’t get my ironing done either LOL) and i smiled at your comment that you had got through the day without a gambling thought! Wow, thats a milestone. By sharing that; you continue to inspire, and give hope to others on the same journey.
Something in your last couple of posts has reminded me of a feeling i have experienced at times on my journey. That feeling when life starts to feel a bit ho-hum or ordinary. Like when i first began counselling (quite a few years ago) for depression and anxiety, and made major inroads to overcoming it, but as i did that i found myself thinking "is this it?"…
It was like i expected some huge fanfare and fireworks, and some extraordinary new life to suddenly begin. (it is much the same feeling that i have experienced this year in learning to let go of my CG, and live free of his gambling)
My wonderfully wise counsellor reminded me that the ‘gap’ or ‘hole’ i was feeling, was the space that my anxiety used to occupy (likened to your gambling i guess), and that i should welcome that gap, and not try and fill it in. He also suggested I should ’embrace the ordinary aspects of life’. Because without the ordinary days we would never recognize the extraordinary ones! And i imagine that without the ordinary days life would be a blur.
So…I’m glad you had a nap on the couch and didn’t do your ironing. Either way though it sounds like you had a blissfully ordinary day!!!!
Thought of you when i saw the moon tonight… its only a half moon but incredibly bright! So glad it wont be a full moon for halloween on saturday (god forbid can you imagine how hairy Velvet would be!!!!???? LOL). I’m thinking i’ll dress up as a witch. My kids think i play that role pretty well most days, but might be fun to scare all the other kids in the neighbourhood for a change! HA!
Take care chook.
Love and light
Meg xxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hey K
Woohoo to the big "4". Man that came around quickly! this time last month i was waving my arms around madly ontop of sydney harbour bridge like a crazy woman, in honour of all of us here!! (i think they were glad i was tied on to the bridge LOL).
You guys have had me in fits talk about the other little madwoman that lives inside GPS units. I say, listen to marilee…. find the unit with the GPS MAN in it and head over to new zealand to see ME! haha. (yes marilee you are so right!!! its not karma, it IS life. and aren’t we so blessed to be able to laugh??! laughing is good for the soul – therefore, kathryn is good soul food for us all!! xxxx)
Enjoy your day off babe xxxx
love and light
"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hello my little aussie friend
Just popping in for a quick hello.
How exciting all this wedding stuff sounds….(god i LOVE a bit of ‘girlie’ stuff hehe) and i am so so glad to hear you’ve got the brows sorted before we reached the mono stage! Awesome! haha.
Before i forget, as far as your trip to sydney goes, apparently Newtown is THE place to go for nightlife these days. (sorry, i never made it there to report) but it was recommended by quite a few. sounds like theres quite a few bars to choose from there. otherwise, if you are in the CBD area, head to darling harbour. Cargo bar is pretty cool. (expect a queue though!)
Sorry your team lucked out babe…..and damn, us kiwis kicked your butt in the netball again too didn’t we hahaha hahaha (yeah…i know you dont really give a toss, but I enjoyed it LOL) xx
Ok. enough cheek from me!!! Just checking in while i have a computer with a fully functional dongle (LOL).
Much love and light to ya babe.
Meg xxxxxxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hello my beautiful friend
just wrote you a wonderful post that must be floating out there somewhere in cyberspace….coz i lost it!!!! Grrrrr!
I am on a temporary laptop, with a dodgy modem (blame the dongle haha)!!!! so, suffice it to say………………
LOve ya, miss ya, proud of ya (proud of ME too….sydney harbour bridge was my wee personal ‘everest’ – "go" sir edmund hilary!) I waved my arms in the air for ALL of us!!!! (no i didnt get stuck on plane, but the beautifulhostess came back to me with a half full bottle of bubbles and said…noone else is drinking this!!!….will i leave it with YOU????!!!! hahha. of course i wanted to be helpful…..so i said…… um…..Hell yeah!)
Havent caught up with the old tart yet (aka "V") haha…but she will track me down for sure. Was thinking of you both up there (and a few special others too!).
Hoping to get some reliable technology happening soon!
Much much love and light!!!!!!!!
Meg xxxxxxxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Happy Birthday Chook! and happy 3 months.
Sydney Rocks! I am having a blast and i SO deserve this! (hehe)
I am climbing to the top of the sydney harbour bridge today. it is a glorious sydney day of course, and the harbour looks beautiful from my balcony! When i get to the top I’ll be ‘throwing my arms in the air’ and thinking of you and all our amazing friends on here!
When i get ‘back down to earth’ I’ll be having a drink for ya too my friend! (and 3 for Velvet! LOL)
Much much love and light

xxxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hello my friend
Lovely to chat again last night!
I too, am excited about your 100 day mark that is looming… I SO know you will make it!!!
As you know, I have had an up-and-down week (just posted a rant about on my thread so wont re-hash it on yours). Its now saturday night and i’m sitting here on my own after putting kids to bed (as usual). I have just been outside to gaze at the sky…. we have the most glorious full moon tonight! I sat and stared and stared. Then i started getting all metaphorical, so i thought i’d share it with you (in the desperate hope that SOMEONE else will GET IT – and i’m not just going off ‘my trolley’!! haha)
The things i love the most about a full moon are…. firstly, it lights everything up! you cannot hide! there is no ‘cover of darkness’ that night usually provides! Secondly, it is a full circle! beginning and end. complete! Thirdly, the longer you stare at it….. the more it starts to look like the ‘light at the end of a dark tunnel’!!!
It made me think alot about my journey, and all the different (but same) journeys we share on this site.
Then it led me to think of our roller-coaster analogy (y’know zimmerframes, pink elephants, cowboys, ‘arms in the air’ etc) and it made me laugh!
So, after going going outside to look at the moon, feeling sad and melancholy…. i have come back in smiling and laughing! And, among others, I was thinking of you my friend! so, thank you!
I hope your world is well tonight!
Much love and light
meg xxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"LOL! Looks like Al just said it all! (watch out cowboy – i think ya hat just blew off! haha)
Yes "tonight IS a good good night" Kathryn. You just faced a huge enormous test, drawn out over all these weeks, and you Passed! You didn’t gamble!!!
Fester will no longer be an issue. Guess she has some explaining to do to poor sasha… but it aint your problem anymore!!!
I think we’re all smiling for ya out here in cyber space! have a great nite chook.
love and light
meg xxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hello my friend
Keep on keeping busy! Add some loud and triumphant music to your day like "i am woman hear me roar" LOL, or that cool blackeyed peas song thats out at the mo. (cant remember the name right now…) I love that one its SO upbeat!
Totally agree Fester has a nerve chasing Dames for results (after 15 years of withholding), and anyway she should get results from the lab same as you guys i would assume! Anyway, dont dwell on fester. Waste of energy you could be putting in elsewhere!
81 days!!!!? Awesome! You wont let this put you back.
You are so right, you will know when you know… so go and enjoy your day!
Much love and light (hands in the air with ya!)
meg xxxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hi Chook
Ah, i wish there was a community group chat on tonight, so i could at least talk dongle’s with you to take your mind off things… anything to make you laugh!
It moments in life like this one, that you just have to ‘ride it out’. y’know….. hands in the air!!?? cant change the outcome etc etc.
I’m kind ‘riding it out’ myself tonight – having just left a conversation/meeting with my ex, that; once it is documented with the lawyers; will spell the end of my marriage. ugh. i feel sick. Discussing finanaces and possessions was easy compared to the trading that went on over who gets how many hours with kids on xmas day, how we manage my sons 7th birthday in a few weeks, and the fact i have just been UN-invited to a fathers day dinner next sunday!
Hands in the air babe! What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger!!!? (by god, we’ll be the strongest chicks in the Antipodes! AND we have added ‘dongle’ to our vocabulary!! We have SO much going for us LOL LOL LOL)
Hang in there babe. you’re doing GREAT!!!
Much much love, light AND strength to you!
Meg xxx"We are each of us angels with only one wing… we can only fly by embracing each other"Hi Chook
Just wondering how your weekend of work is going? And how your nerves are holding out.
It doesn’t matter what it is, when we have to sit around waiting for something that we know may/will have a huge impact on our lives… the waiting is the worst part!!!!!
At least the waiting will be over soon. Just trust in yourself kathryn. No matter what the outcome you are made of strong stuff! Whatever you are meant to deal with… you will be able to deal with!
My profile signature on here used to be "the will of God will never take you, where the grace of God will not protect you". (I’m not a religious person, but i am spiritual and you can call it God, or the universe, or your higher power…. whatever). I do believe we are all equipped with the necessary life-tools to handle what is thrown at us, but sometimes we just forget to believe enough in ourselves.
Look how far you have come! Go back and read some of the wise, insightful posts you have written to others on here! You have EVERYTHING you need to deal with WHATEVER life throws at you. Without gambling because of it!
I hope the sun is shining on you tomorrow babe (the sun almost ALWAYS shines in australia doesnt it!!!?? LOL. That’s why I’m coming over….. 9 sleeps and counting!!!!).
Just know that there will be so many of us thinking of you, and your journey, as we go about our day on Monday!
Much love and light to you my friend
