    VM so sorry to hear about your FIL. Sending you some big ((HUGS)).

    Been a busy week this week, last week in my old job so trying to get all the loose ends sorted.

    Going to see Take That friday, can't wait.

    I'm going Saturday - paid for with mystery shopping money, so very MSE :T

    I paid for mine with MSE too and have ordered my train tickets online too so saved a few pennies there.

    We really are true MSE'rs or are we just a little sad :confused:

    - I like to think we can be both...

    Do you get any break in between ending your current post and starting the new one?

    Either way, it sounds like you're powering on with all the DFW malarky. Dead jealous, but you deserve it as it's been pretty rubbish sounding for you of late.

    Hope you're getting the sun - it was 33 Degrees here in London today and my pale Scottish skin isn't loving it :cool:

    I have friday off to go and see Take That then start new job on Monday. Been a nightmare though as they don't have a manager at all so I have been doing the job for the last week or so alongside my other job. My head is all over the place at the moment lol.

    Been very hot here. Luckily I am dark skinned and dark haired so I just look like I have been away for two weeks :T

    Ditto - I am sooo hot!

    I have been very virtuous today tho and spent most of the day cleaning the kitchen... binned 2 bin bags of food that was years out of date! :eek: Made a start on a 3rd bin bag too :o I am also trying to sort out a crate or 2 of crockery to put on freecycle as we are overflowing with stuff...

    My fat % is going down - was 44% at start of the week reached 39% today so really chuffed with that... Not really seeing the weight loss I'd like but I am hoping that is because I am building more muscle.

    Are you still dieting?
