    Not really unEnglish, as the ashes are made out of something like that..not quite sure i just know Mr.B is mad on the old willow on leather as it were.

    I have raided my cupboard tonight, don't know why...or even why i am confessing it.LOL.

    The phrase - never mind the quality - feel the width may becoming very appropriate with regard to my literature review :)

    In the manner of Mr Enfield it might be a case of 'look at my wads'

    HI All, slowly getting back to things. Well done on the loan Fay. Went out with OH last night, bit of escapism to try relax a bit with all the stuff thats been going on. It didn't really work. Still not slept properly and we're both exhausted.


    Promised myself to get back on track and start ebaying again. Hows everyone else's ebaying going? Oh and the diet? I've lost probably about 5lbs (not marked it in signature) although recent events have given me a bit of a kick health wise so on the Special K diet to see if I can shift the rest of the excess weight and get back to 11 stone which seems to suit me.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Hi uni - and hugs you sound exhausted -

    Weight - hmmm Yesterday I was 9 st 10

    Today I am 9st 5

    How can one small person on a set of scales vary so much??

    Same scales - same small person same amount of clothing ie none. Same time of day

    This week its been between 9 10 and 9 6 depending on the mood of my scales.

    Walked in today again so that probably means I have now put on another couple of pounds.

    I suit being 8 st 7 :D its a dim and distant past (wibbly lines again)

    hi, sorry i've been mia recently. been concentrating on the wedding scrapbook of which i'm upto 20 pages which is at least 2/3rds of the way through now.
    i reduced my OD to £300 last night, i'm planning on trying to keep it here but take the account balance down to 0 and leave it there. If it turns out i keep using the OD then it will have to go completely.
    anyone know if it would be safe to contact Northern Rock to see if i can start paying back a loan early, one of them i know i can't and i'm torn because i'm not sure it would reduce any of the interest charges for me. I'm just not sure how well i'd do at keeping the money in a savings account and saving for a lump sum.

    It happens to taller people too, I've been boomeranging with a 3lb loss/gain for four weeks now. This week it is 3lb off. Not sure what my ideal weight is, but I am fairly sure that I'm not supposed to have a ridged waist (the bit where the waist of the skirt is too tight) or what is delightfully known as a muffin top!

    Although I generally wear stuff a size or two too big - old hang back from being married and being 'invisible'.

    Or it must be in reality to get someting over my ample tummy the size is usually too big for the rest of me :)

    Waves to LT and well done on the overdraft being dropped a bit - NR - no idea sorry :)
