    See when I'm DF Beanie.... I'm never ebaying again!

    in other news I went to asda earlier (I needed a couple of groceries too) and specifically went there to find out how to put one of those notices up to sell bikes. Bumped into someone while there and felt very proud that I remembered what I'd gone in to buy afterwards but the notice thing? nope, totally forgot that one!

    It's only one day Beanie, back on the straight and narrow tomorrow? have you managed out on your trike much?
    Weather has been lovely down here so I went for a walk earlier and sat and watched folk sailing for a bit - very therapeutic! that will be me soon once all the debt has gone and I've moved house...

    I know!!!! 69 days! doesn't seem that long now.
    I shall be the size of an elephant by then as I am eating and eating and.... well eating...
    I want to join a gym again - it's the only thing that keeps me motivated but if I do it won't be till I'm DF. I did walk about 4 miles today but it's not enough.

    Sounds like something out of Arabian Nights:rotfl:I too have been doing a lot of walking in an effort to work off overindulgence:o

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    had a weird dream last night that just as I was about to get paid in June and become DF I got an email telling me I owed two companies money and when I opened it there were two amounts - one about £600 and the other around £6000. The amounts were framed with flashing lights like those old fashioned mirrors in theatres... any how I woke up panicking about how much longer this would put DFD back and there was a great sense of relief when I realised it was a dream.
    Off out to enjoy the sun for a bit.
