    Hope its just really badly bruised, at least then the recovery time will be much shorter.

    Toe is still painful but I can drive so will be able to hobble about. Have had an ice pack on it this afternoon. Last 2 days have been a failure as far as the diet is concerned and its weigh in tomorrow night so no time to make up for it and no chance to exercise it off. Note to self never ever purchase crisps and be left alone with them.

    Friend arrived with my new babies, red cabbage, flat leaf parsley, leeks, bean and some cauli plants. Will try to get them in this week.

    Got computer man coming tomorrow night as OH business has got a new computer and we need all the data off the old one transferring. He could probably do it but much easier and far less aggro to let him do it.

    Accountant is coming on Tuesday, books are virtually up to date and last years accounts are nearly ready to rock and roll.

    Pay day for me on Wednesday. OH and I went off to look at a house this afternoon but we couldn't find it!!! Need to get the details off the estate agent, couldn't find it on google earth either.

    Hey Lucielle, well done on your weight loss, its no mean feat and I know exactly what you mean about 'being here before' I am my own worst enemy!

    Hope the toe feels better soon and dont worry I always want to hear about how many wheelies of poo you have picked up! Summers spent poo picking fields, now there is one thing I dont miss x x x x

    Hi Karma, nice to 'see' you and thanks for dropping by.

    Toe is sore but not as bad as yesterday, managed not to get it tangled up in the bed covers last night. Think I would've hit the roof if I had.

    New computer has been installed, looks very impressive. We now have skype (just have to figure out how to use it).

    Payday on Wednesday but I've got my wage slip so I have already spent it! Lost 1/2 pound this week, sabotaged due to the weekend. Honestly what am I like? Only 2 weeks in and doing pathetically. Friend who I go with lost 2 and 1/2 and she is 72 and goes to the gym! Really got no excuse.

    Not too sure about the new look forum, suppose I'll get used to it. Off for a mooch about the diaries.

    1/2 a lb is half a pound and as Taxi says it's in the right direction.

    Hope you toe is better this am?

    Any weight lost is worth celebrating! Especially if you know you haven't stuck to the diet. So woooooooo!!

    Hope the toe continues to improve.
