    SmlSave you'll look beautiful xxxxx
    awwww :o thanks hun.

    How nice that you and DansDad were friends before you got together :)

    Guess I've got to fess up now .....

    I had a very very decadent weeked :cool: the good news is that DH got a pay rise of 4% :j so he wanted to treat us with a takeaway and somehow we managed (i.e went to the shops and got) to get hold of a a bottle of bubbly and tub of phish food.

    Had a hair cut on Sat (mine cost £37.50 - almost fainted), went to the cinema and spent £8.50 :o on snacks. About 11:00 we got peckish and polished off a loaf of bread with salami and half a jar of HM pickle.

    On Sunday :cool: we had bacon for breakfast, ice cream for lunch, leftover chinese for dinner and a whole fruit steamed pudding at 10pm

    2Q== - this was a fat smiley, you'll just have to imagine it!

    I feel all blobby and have just muched a bag of McCoys to make me feel better :rotfl:This is why all the exercise we do never reflects on our waistline!
    Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck :)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:That how me and the BF celebrate when we get good news (but we prefer Asti Spumanti (cheap skates that we are, although normally buy 3 bottles - oops) to bubbly))

    :) Got some good news to report I got 90% on my civil litigation test!!!! :j Am well pleased.

    Also got round to making 4 jars of cucumber pickle last night - if we can stop ourselves from eating it, the pickle will be Xmas presents. Also found out that the room we booked for the wedding next week should be free! Or so I got told this morning :)

    I'm umming and ahhing about going swimming tonight...as neither Mum or DH can go, I'll have to find another £1.50 for the bus which is soo little but soo annoying having to wait for it.

    Spent: £1 on parking. £1.50 on juice. £4 in jar. 50p in crisps and £1.70 x 2 on bus.

    Totally gorgeous ben and jerries ice cream. Probably safest to not experience it Taka or you may undo your good work. :rotfl:

    Congrats on the test results, and wowser to the kitchen fire. I managed to set one of my wooden spoons on fire a couple of months back. :eek: I was only in the next room luckily. It is one of my worst fears.

    Trust me Taka, best to leave it that way :o. I don't actually like Mackies :eek:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
