    Havent found card yet but havent looked too hard for it - did find a Sim Card under the keyboard though - god knows whose that is!

    Heating is still off so it is freezing in here but at least the engineer will be able to see what is wrong with it.

    No work for me today got my weigh in this morning and then off food shopping and christmas shopping and then OH and I out for tea together tonight as we dont spend Christmas together with him working this is our christmas dinner.

    Off to hunt for card now ... x x

    Man came out yesterday and the fan is broken in the boiler, he got it work ing again yesterday so we had heat and hot water last night. He is coming back today to fit a new fan and service it for about 250.00 so not too bad (it could have been worse!).

    Lost 6lbs at weigh in yesterday because I was ill for a lot of last week so got SOTW and my 1.5 stone award - now only 2lbs away from my 2 stone award too so would love to get that next week.

    Meal was gorg - made a nice change to have something to eat out and my card turned up under the front passenger seat in OH's car! So all in all a good day.

    Off to work now and not much planned for tonight - maybe an early night as Im shattered!

    Hope everyone has a good day and I'll see everyone later x x

    Hi everyone - boiler still not fixed. Bloke came back to sort it with the new fan and when he removed the old one discovered another part is broken. So he had to order that in and now the boiler is in bits with no heat for the weekend - brilliant news!

    Not done anymore debt busting yet. Have about 500.00 in the account to last until Christmas Eve but havent finished present buying yet so tonight will be spent making a list of what is left to get with a rough costing. Then I will make a payment to MBNA. Also have 355.00 in the house but I have a nasty suspicion that with the new part the boiler needs the cost is going to rise from 250.00 that was originally quoted so will ignore the money that is in the house until the boiler is fixed.

    Not much more exciting than that at the minute. Spending the evening cleanig/tidying to keep warm so I suppose that is a bonus - it will make me do the housework!

    Hope everyone has had a good day x x
