    For some stupid reason a added a load of coal to the fire at about half 10. It's burning really hot and there's loads left i'm scared to go to bed and leave it. Do you think it'd be ok?

    My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............to make more of an effort to recycle to save space in my black bin
    However my main jobs tomorrow are;
    • to get the rest of the paper stripped off the dining room walls and to get the paintworked sanded down
    • to get the new toilet plumbed in
    On a mission

    Likklegibbon - welcome back, congratulations, trust it all went well. Just noticed weight loss - well done
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Thank you to all who post competitions & help the smooth running of the comps board
  • Thanks Hippy - day was great (we had a pair of cartoon bride and groom gibbons on the cake!) - still got a way to go yet with weightloss - I want to wear a bikini on my hols next august and my friend is a size 6 so I feel huge next to her (although she envies my boobs - we're never happy are we?)

    Welcome back, Likklegibbon. So glad the wedding went well.

    I've made a to do list blank today to put on my fridge. Printed it off at work (with lovely digital printer), laminated it and have just bought some sticky sided magnetic tape. I have a whiteboard pen to write on it with. Now the kids cannot say they didn't see the list! Can't wait to put it up and use it :) Is it home time yet???
