Default 5 years!

It's my 5 year diaversary today. A part of me can't believe it's been this long, and another part of me feels like I've had D forever.

I non-subtley hinted that mum should buy me a cake.. Will see when she gets home from work whether or not I got through to her, LOL. If not I might have to take a cake-shopping trip of my own.

Cake all around! Enjoy the day Emma, you have done amazingly well. Be sure to pat yourself on the back a few times today

Emma,
You should be really proud of not only how well you have handled your challenges but also how much you have given back to the community here. Very impressive.

Enjoy your cake!

You are D-wise way beyond 5 years (as well as otherwise wise)!

Hope your mom takes the hint...if not, definitely hit the bakery!

Have a great day!! So glad and grateful you are part of this forum.

No cake, but my dad brought cookies home (even better!). Thanks for everyone's kind words. I love CWD (it's the best thing about D ).
