    Hi

    Another £1.35 into little pot today.

    Still no roadkill......but I blame you for that Sparky. !!

    I did just as you advised me to......eyes peeled, elbows out etc..... Really scary and meaning business, but then I lost it.:rotfl: :rotfl:......the thought of you in Lycra....well what can I say. Not that I know what you look like, but I have a very vivid imagination.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    So I think I'll just stick to saving pennies, and if I should find some....well it would be a bonus.


    June 2010 - 11/56 lbs Weight to lose before May 2011.

  • Just some coppers in the pot today. Planning a long dog walk, and road kill hunt tomorrow. Thought I would start at first light, incase anyone scares the little devils off before I get there.:D
