    Always slower for us ladies isn't it which is sooooooooooo annoying.

    My problem is keeping it going, I have this awful habit of getting to a stone off then getting cocky and letting it slide so really concentrating on that next half stone.

    Afternoon one and all.

    Just got back from my daughters school fete. Had a fab time although I am not sure me going on the bouncey castle in this heat was the wisest move.

    I have a mountain of ironing to do but it will have to wait as just too hot.

    Had an email from my solicitors yesterday saying my contracts are prepared and they are just waiting my deeds for the house from the bank so looks like everything is going along nicely. Can't wait to get a moving date.

    Must update my sig tonight once DD with her dad as quite a few payments will have gone out.
