    Thanks Lou, I think my flat is one of those that you might go into and at first glance it looks quite tidy but if you were to open one of the cupboards....:eek: :eek:
    Need to get my act together if I want to move though so this is the prime motivation but now looking at things and wondering why I let them clutter the place up so long.:o

    awww Beanie, not feeling any better? If you were a wee bit closer I'd nab Jinky and drive her up for the day! There's more to life than a tidy house though so just take care or try bribing the teenager! x

    it's just a bit scary spending money though these days...sooooo not used to it! I used to be quite talented at it too!

    Do feel a little sick after the greasy food though so probably won't repeat that for a couple of months at least.

    Fish and chips are the most scrummy food in the world until you actually eat them and then feel like !!!!!!:D I also get instant heartburn from the grease yet somehow I still see them as a treat:rotfl:

    Glad you had a good day with the little one as beanielou says we do have to have a life.

    Want a laugh though...just stood on the scales (to shock myself into action) and I've actually lost 1 and 1/2 pounds! maybe I've not been as bad as I thought and also maybe I should try and get out for a walk at lunchtime more. or maybe I should eat more chips...

    I bought a SW magazine today which has lots of curry recipes so going to read that tonight and get inspired!

    Just about to transfer money over from paypal - a wee bit more towards the credit card.
