    Hi all :wave:

    Thanks for the chart BB, and well done SMW and Seren :T .

    Well, it's all becoming real today, if it wasn't already. Our furniture is going into storage tomorrow, so we've dismantled the bed - we'll be sleeping in the caravan tonight. I've been moving our clothes in and squeezing them into the available storage space, which is okay until you start thinking about coats and jackets, which we're going to store in a 'fabric box' in the back of the car. The box came from Woolworths - I bought it a few weeks ago, and went back yesterday to see if I could get another one for loft storage, but of course with all the events that have happened there, I was out of luck.

    We've got a Christmas do tonight, and the removals men will be here first thing in the morning - not great planning!

    Enjoy the rest of the day.

    Granny you can go to rigby, i wont be offended. much.

    When i say crap lois i dont mean life itself is rubbish, more than everything comes in more than two's. I can't plan a whole weeks meal plan in a week!! What if you dont fancy it? or what if you wanna do something else. I plan two days worth of meals at any one time, then pick up something a fancy and usually make that into a meal after that, then mum will invite me over or we'll go out for dinner. Im just not a good house wife :p

    Hope everyone is ok, christmas is soooo exciting!!

  • Vix, being good at hosekeeping is a learned skill so it is something you can get gradually better at: it's not something you are either born with or not:D . Took me ages to get to grips with it and I'm waaaaay older than you. The biggest motivator for me is that the more organised you are the more money you save that can be spent of life's frivoloties:D .
    Lois - this is so exciting:j . You are really doing it - walking the walk, not just talkin the talk. Have you thought of keeping a blog while you are away, so you can keep who ever you want up to date?

    My back's not so good so have just been forced to take some pain killers that by happenchance also dull the appetite - got to be some silver linings in life. My trousers feel tight:(. Really struggling with hunger at the mo - a side effect of other drugs I'm on: I can be ravenous wihtin an hour of a good meal.
    Thanks for feed back so far on the chart - everyone is generally saying don't mind. The thing is, we can still post if if helps us to do so. I'll see how the week progresses.
    I've just bought the entire set of Narnia(7 ) books at oxfam for my ungod daughter for the price of one new book.:j
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    I get like that on insulin, if it is low I could eat Sainsburys:rolleyes: if the numbers are high I can't eat a thing and go hours without food which is a pain:rolleyes:
    I have read of people actually using that as a weight loss., not recommended obviously:rolleyes:
