    I am lurking as well, and I am also a rugby mum. Got to work tomorrow though so had to make arrangements for rugby son.

    I thought I could never give up drinking my one or two every night, and extra at the weekend, but I am so determined to stick to my shopping budget that I am only now buying 4 cans or bottles of beer every two weeks or so for two of us. I have lost 9 pounds in weight, and I hate to sound...well....you know.. but I am not missing it anymore? What's that all about? have I become a BORE? (gasps in horror)

    Fire works went OK. OH got totally freezing bless him.

    Glad to see you are feeling better Jinks:heart2:

    Ordered the boys Christmas present today and at the end of the transaction the screen said Error, your transaction could not be completed, please try again later. Tried again and same message.

    I have checked my bank account and the money has come out of the bank.........it is over £300 (they are having a joint present as it is so expensive):eek: I have still had no confirmation that the order has been processed.......slightly worried (slight understatement).
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Cant say it makes much difference now, I think I just thought I needed it? Does that make any sense. Bit like bras I suppose,who says we NEED them (unless you go for a jog:o )

    Very well done, that is a great effort. I have lost the final bit I wanted to in the past 6 weeks...I feel fantastic.

    No beer open for me. I had intended to but ended up with a nice cup of tea instead.:confused:
