    Hi Cinny,
    Yes it was nice to get away from it all to be honest. Had a nightmare of it for the last few weeks, this whole debt thing is driving me up the wall!!
    But i am back now to face up to it and get on with getting rid of this.
    Just had a quick flick through the last few pages and seen that Dinah is ill. I have not been feeling too great myself the last few days, there seemed to be some sort of bug being passed around our family members.
    How have you been cinny?

    Hi Flower! It's good to know you've had a nice break, sometimes you do need to escape reality for a few days to recharge your batteries!

    Don't tempt me by talking about summer clothes Cinny, I can see the sun shining and I'm getting itchy for summer dresses!

    I've been good thanks Flower! A bit of a stomach bug at the weekend but nothing to write home about.
    Must of be good to get away from the debt for a bit then be able to pounce at it all bright eyed and bushy tailed! It has get a bit consuming though (and I'm just going by saving!) I just want to get past my 1k goal then I can relax about it, then most likely spend it all when I go on holiday.:o

    Bridie - I want to loose the weight I gained over christmas and snuggly comfort food before I go shopping for shorts and stuff, not dieting, just more exercise now the sun is out with his hat on. Hoping I can drag my ol' faithful summer dresses out from hiding soon though.

    I need to lose my winter weight too, the thought of skirts without tights and control pants is a bit scary at the moment! OH has decided that our Sunday walks are coming back with a vengeance and he's introducing mid-week walks too, and I've got to get on his exercise bike...eugh! I suppose I should cut back on the biccies too but one step at a time!

    I got rid of loads of summer clothes before moving so I need to replenish my wardrobe!

    Phew, I'm having the morst farcical afternoon, Frank Spencer would even be ashamed! And of course it has to be the hottest day of the year so far when I get a delivery of 30 big boxes to cart up to the second floor on a trolley, on my own, through loads of heavy fire doors!

    Anyway, I've just been sent this link to a little game... It's freaked me aout a bit actually because it's got me 5 times out of 5! If you're bored have a little go...

    Clever game Tete! I think it's one of those number tricks where there are only so many possible answers and the same picture corresponds to those few numbers. You do it again and all the pictures are different but the same pic still applies to the same numbers IYKWIM! i.e. I looked at 81, first time it was an arrow, second time it was a circle. You don't realise that the pictures are changing because you're desperatley trying every number in an effort to catch it out!

    ETA: Off home now, got to take my invalid to the hospital!

    Is that a variation on Cinny's tampon dress?! :eek:
    I didn't see that Tete but I'm thinking not a good look?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cinny, trust me, I might be in my 40's but my mother is still a force to be reckoned with so if we get married abroad we'd have to take her. I get on ok with her but you wouldn't want to upset her. We had a row on holiday cos she had a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp :eek: and wouldn't talk to anyone for a couple of days so I told her to behave. It took days after we came back before she spoke to us!!! Ah, well, families, eh? And what's this about your tampon dress?!!!
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:
