    Lilysue how did the gum shield work - I wore mine last weekend and woke up to find I'd taken it out and put it under my pillow in my sleep:rotfl:

    Still catching up on the thread but need to make some lunch first.

    Gryfon - thats really good
    Spirit of SW - hello
    Greenbee - I looked into hippobags last year, £80 for 1.5 cubic yards against £90 for 4 cubic yards for local skip company, or £60 if it is just hardcore. I take anything I can to the tip (they will even take old baths) but they won't take building rubble/perished plaster etc so I save those bags up till I have enough to fill a skip.

    DH has fixed the leaky loo and finished off the new door. Made a huge mess of course so I had better stir my stumps and sort that.

    I know some of you will probably be eating your lunch, but does anyone fancy a HHC 1.15-1.45? I need to do all of the jobs I promised I would do before I went to the gym, and I've got 2 loads of clean washing to put away and tonnes still to do.

    Support would be great if you're not eating?

    Forgot to add, I ran 5km on the crosstrainer and did 6 minutes on the summit climber, and decluttered 343 calories.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Well done toots! Don't forget to post what you've done, even if it isn't on the list!

    You've got two more newbies to PM when you get back from your lunch. Have a great time!

    I've got backache from all the snow-shovelling yesterday. So far today all I've managed to do is get up, have breakfast, order some books from amazon, fill the DW and do the washing up :o Must get my act together!

    Looks like the snow might miss me tonight and tomorrow morning, but get here tomorrow afternoon evening. So have to think hard about whether to go in for my gym appointment tomorrow afternoon. I'd hate to get stuck in Basingstoke :rolleyes:

    ETA - sexymouse, I'll join your HHC. At the very least I need to shower, dress and get the sausage casserole into the SC!

    Nice one - thanks!

    Actually, I may put it down to research and development. Then I can put my photo printer through too :D;) They are connected of course!
