    Well done on the diploma, I'd love to do more studying I really want to do a history degree at my local college as the subjects are right up my street but I just dont have time or money enough to do them justice!

    Calm and serene instead of frazzled and hassled!!! I wish :D

    Have a good weekend xx

    Well I had a lovely weekend up till 4pm when DH got grumpy :( But until then I played in the garden :) planted lots of seeds and my hanging baskets (made liner out of newspaper!) and had a lovely girlie lunch (spent far too much - £14)

    We've had bad news bout our bedroom furniture that we ordered in Jan - the company is sooo bad that they made the local paper! Lots of people haven't had their furniture delivered and no refunds either :( We were told delivery by the end of April but now its apprently end of May. We're trying to get this in writing so that if they mess us around we can go to the small claims court. Thank god we paid by cc.

    Still no news from about the house valuation but I got a bit organised and set up an A&L ISA at 3.2% :) I just need to go through accounts to see how much we have left to pay Dad.

    Ohhhh, completely forgot to say that the comedy curry was wonderful and I laughed so hard I cried. One audience member told one of the acts that she thought he was racist (very clever on line jokes) and she got ripped to shreds - silly cluck.

    I think the curry may have helped me put on the 7lbs I weighed over on Sat morning :eek: 12 stone! Not only is this bad health wise but I since I can't make the end of the month dress fitting I have to go this Sat _pale_ I'll have to hold them at needle point to do a second fitting when I've lost the weight. Target is 10st7lb.

    So...no crisps at lunch time and no chocolate...yes to fruit and veg and exercise.

    but I'm sooo hungry.....

    I really have to go through my spreadsheets soon, I think we may have overspent on food this month already!

    Well I lost 1.5lbs on Sat :) so I was very happy

    Don't ask me about Sunday as there was far too much of this: SmileyDrunk.gif I still can't remember half of what happened :o and Monday was frankly 'orrible because of it. (still managed to get to work thou)

    Just thought I'd pop on and say sorry for being so lax lately, I'm all distracted trying to organise a hen party. Hopefully it'll be sorted by the end of the month after I've bashed some heads.

    At least I managed to have a look at the grocery costs for the past months and I've only once gone over £200 :)

    We're off to the Lake District Friday night for the weekend! :D
