    well done on the weightloss! I didn't get weighed yesterday because I was working miles from my meeting, but I will go next week. I think I have been reasonably good, and of course have done my running so I would hope for a lb off.

    Well done on the NSD too!

    ... and I know its random, but has anyone seen Southernscouser recently??

    I've been thinking about him recently, and also wondering how Weller is doing.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Hello all :D

    Tonight I went to see Steve Coogan with the original cutie guy (from many many moons ago ;) ), was a nice evening and was really nice to catch up with him again, we haven't spoken so much over the last few months as he was loved up (not quite so loved up these days ;) ). It did cost 30.00 for the ticket and 5.70 for car parking :eek: but I dont have many nights out so hey ho :D

    I went to tesco afterwards and did the food shopping, spent 35.00 but 10.00 of this is to come from the xmas fund.

    It was payday today (friday) but the mortgage calculator I like isn't working :mad: so I cant update it all, hopefully tomorrow :rolleyes:

    sounds like a nice evening - tickets are sooooo expensive aren't they! Heaven help you if you want to take a family of 4 out!

    I hope you have a good weekend, and that your mortgage calculator is working soon - I get mightily frustrated if the snowball calculator is down at the time I want to update my figures.....don't they realise I have motivational needs :confused: :rotfl:

    Morning :D I feel knackered today, early night for me tonight ;)
    I have used a different mortgage calculator today as mine isn't working still, and this months normal extra payment from wages etc has knocked off May and June 2028, bringing the end date down to April 2028 :j :j It looks like quidco aren't going to pay me everything that was due yet again this onth, I should have had about 190.00 but it looks like I'll only be getting about 45.00 of it this month :mad: :mad:

    Today I have a friend coming round at 10 and I'm getting my haircut at 2. I may go shopping afterwards depending on how I feel. Have a good day all :D

    Have a good w/end BB.

    We need to work out the 20th, I really can't afford to do the train so we'll arrive after you've been on it and have a walk until they get cold/bored!!
    If I win the lottery between now and then, I'll treat us all !! x
