    oh, and something else I forgot to mention - I've got rid of the extra weight I'd put back on so only a stone and a half now. might manage the half a stone by end of June after all...

    :TYeah well done. You will do it as it will probably be sweated off in the last ditch attempt to boot the debt out of the door for good.:D:j

    Well done on the weight loss Skinty:beer:

    I still havent been for my bloomin gym induction, everytime I book one a disaster seems to happen.

    Induction 1 - DS has a really bad nosebleed and needs to be taken home from school.

    Induction 2 - Gas leak means that I have to wait in all day for heating engineers to sort it out.

    Induction 3 - Next Tuesday..................goodness knows what next:confused:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    OMG, why did I watch a show with Kim and Aggie and rats? Yikes!

    Shopping done, ironing done and put away (worse than the ironing IMO), car washed and lounge tidied - feel like I've made headway and might even get a wee rest over the weekend. Sadly I've brought loads of work home with me so will need to do that sometime.

    Nope, did it myself again.:T There's lots of trees at home and at work and my car gets covered in that sticky stuff that comes off them during the summer, plus there was a big bird doo splat at the back - had been hoping for some rain for days but nothing...

    Feeling rather delicate today - too much red wine last night but had a nice evening with friends. not quite up to the gym yet though.:o
