    Debt has reduced by £179.88 as a loan payment has come out, so my snowball has been duly updated - always a good start to the day!

    OH has been paid so I can also work out this months shortfall - not such a good start to the day! (the shortfall, I mean, not the pay!).

    Weigh in day today - I have been running 5 times since last W/W so if their scales do not show a change I will demand a refund!

    Other than that, not much to report - no snow here, no surprise funds hitting my bank account, and no ironing fairy appearing while I am asleep.......

    Have a good day, and Bob - hope you enjoy the meringues!

  • Have a good day too Hypno.

    If I find the ironing fairy I'll send her over to you but once she has done mine of course....

    excellent, purpletea - can you tell her not to take too long at yours though, because mine is going to take her some time :o :rolleyes:

    £179 payout is a pretty good start - tho computers with meringue crumbs all over them might not be so great.... Purpletea, I'm nearer to you geographically than Hypno, and I don't really have *too* much ironing, I wonder if the ironing fairy could pop my way first?

    This is yet another day when I probably won't do a matched bet, cos I have 3 clients, quite widely spaced, so the fiddly bits of the accounts will probably be what gets done. Hey ho. Definitely no ironing.

  • I'm sure she'd be delighted although she might be a bit tired when she's finished our lot, perhaps that's why she's not turned up yet.

    :D she's probably got a bit of a cob on at the way all the dfw-ers take her for granted. Maybe we should treat her like Rudolph, leave a carrot out or something!

    I would never take an ironing fairy for granted - I would be ever so humble, and grateful. I am sure she is very pleased to be in such demand for her skills.....

    benben, good luck at WI - I am sure you will have a huge loss to report, whereas I have my thick winter tights on today, so obviously that has added on a couple of lbs, and the scales will therefore be confused.....;)

    I'm not expecting a huge loss Hypno as I started on a sunday but only had my first weigh-in on the wednesday, so I'd already "lost" a couple of pounds according to my scales by the time I had my proper weigh-in. I am hoping for a couple of pounds though, that would be great :D Good luck to you too is yours during the day or the evening?
