    Morning OB! See!!!? You can do it - you can post (when pushed enough, or was it just the thought of my shivering that made you take pity?)

    V17:6.1 sounds like it has the basis for a really good plan. I too am guilty of not always making the effort - and it is always when I don't that I bump into someone and wish I had. Never anyone around when I am looking my best! ;)

    Looks like you may have some interesting times ahead - some fun and some a little more challenging! I'll always be here if you need someone to listen to your moans, rants, tantrums and success stories. :D

    Not holding my breath for the next installment - I want to be around for Christmas! :rotfl:But it should definitely be good!

    Nats x

  • OK so its been a month!!!!!

    I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year :beer:
    I have decided I will start a New 2011 Diary and set my goals etc out and do minimum of weekly posts :eek:
    Feeling fat and lethargic so will take a cuppa back to bed (not back at work until tomorrow) read a chapter of my book then start my day again! with tidying the wardrobe then a 10k step walk into town for spinach and coriander (vital for tonight's dinner) may treat myself to a skinny gingerbread latte at Costa, oh yes and will prepare a mango and banana smoothie breakfast prior to walk- also walking in my new fit flop boots that Santa gave me so well on my way to Goddess status:rotfl:

    ooh ooh ooh! You're back!

    Have you got a diary yet? Was just wondering as I couldn't find one - then I panicked a bit and thought maybe you were hiding it as you didn't want me to tag along on your V17.6:1

    But if there is a new diary - I WILL FIND IT!!!! mwah ha ha ha ha! ;O)

    Hope you had a fab christmas and NYE?

    We all know you were pretty close to Goddess status anyway - but WOW, with your new boots you'll be soon be absolutely bloomin' marvellous!

    OK, well here I ago another go at this I guess!

    Review OH lost £60k job- after 10 months started being a temp postie working 25 hours a week, this was for three months but they keep renewing so it is feeling a bit more stable.
    Redundancy money all gone now.
    We can manage like this- it's just a challenge for me.
    My job ok although I work for an !!!!! so am looking to change.

    Last week did OH's tax return on line on Tuesday and had an extra £4500 in bank account by Friday!!:eek::beer:

    How to spend this...... thinking £1k daughters uni fees, £1k to barclaycard, £1k on hall wall (something strange living below the plaster) and if that all works out maybe last bit on some winter sun and a little diving :o

    Life busy and fun- how are you guys!

    Hi OBNW,

    I've been lurking and have to comment, I started as a temp postie for 13 weeks, 14 years later Royal Mail paid for my HGV licence and gave me various promotions and am now a revenue manager for them.

    The pay is good and the overtime helps. hopefully they will keep him on. I am currently facing a managerial reorganisation so fingers crossed i will keep my job. I will get round to starting a diary but i need to work out how much i owe.
