  • Morning all,
    Woke up to not much snow but it proceeded to then drop about 3 inches. Every ruddy school in Salop is shut EXCEPT my DD's! Arggh!

    Took me 45 mins to drive to work and here I am, woot woot.

    Well done BB on continued weight reduction-brilliantly well done.

    Hello everyone else!

    Sammy, I hope DD1 scan goes well, can't wait to see the pictures.

  • Good morning.
    Well done BB.
    I'm snowed in again - getting a bit cross now.
    Schools shut, roads blocked, salt used and more snow forecast.

    morning all!

    well done on the stone BB!!

    i think i have lost another 6lbs this week, according to the leisure centre scales this morning (i popped in for a sneaky weigh in as they tend to agree with my CD persons) That has cheered me up no end! I'm not counting it officially until i get weighed tonight though.

    There is some snow up here, but TBH it's the wind that's making it much worse... school is open though.

    Enjoy your weekend jinky! but i have to ask, why bother buying new clothes! you're gonna be nekkid all weekend anyway!

    Seriously though, I keep meaning to ask you jinky, how are you enjoying being debt free? is it a load off your mind?
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    i was gonna say that myself, but decided it was too early for that kind of talk:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    And you are damn right i am:T :T :T :T :T :T

    It feels fab,:j
    I know I kind of did it in a cheaty way, but I didnt wanna start off my new life in debt.
    So now I know what I can and cant spend.
    I was also very sensible and cancelled all my cards, except one emergency one:A

    It wasn't a cheaty way, it was the price you paid for peace of mind now rather than later and to get closure on the shared things with your ex..... and you'll rebuild that safety net in another way with the lessons you've learned on here... well the clean and non smutty lessons!
