    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Unfortunately it won't be dropping 1k every day :(

    Just updated my starting figure for the MFiT2 challenge and I'm already 6p ahead on it as I rounded the balance up :j. Yikes, over 68k in 3 years, am I barking or what 4.gif

    Done a fair few MS's the last few days, need to write 2 up :( and there will be another 1 plus 3 phone calls to write up tomorrow night :rolleyes:. At least 1 was a garage so got some toilet paper & will get more tomorrow :)

    Well, we booked all our flights for next year bar Easter & it's gone up £70 :mad:. Plus Ryanair will be charging for using an Electron card come Jan so I'm not speaking to them now. That'll upset Michael O'Leary :rolleyes:

    Went shopping - charity shops, 2 skirts (Next & Principles), trousers (Monsoon) & boots (K) - less than £20 :T

    Then accidentally found myself in Alexon & spent £205 :eek:

    In my defence I did have £35 worth of vouchers :D

    But the £205 was after knocking those off :o

    I got: 2 x trousers, dress, cardi & 4 tops, all in sale & at least 1/2 price reduction, so over £500 of stuff I reckon & I have never, never, ever spent that much in one go before. However, I really do not have many smart clothes for work & end up slobbing around at the weekend also, and these all fit really well so I don't care 1.gif

    Well done on the charity shop bargains:j

    But......the Alexon spends:eek:, thats really, really bad, you would never find me spending like that:rotfl:. That was mortgage money!! (I knew I would be able to get you back with that one day!)

    Now, you need to do a real 'TPA' get someone to buy the items for you for Christmas!!
