    thats an awful lot to be constantly carrying Rach - do you need it all? could you leave the kitchen sink at home next time?
    I meant to say well done with the weight loss!

    It's not always that much, just on days when i have groups and can't get to the office first... I do have a trolley case at work but find it a faff on the train etc. Have decided to start using it more though as it takes the strain off my back!

    Not lost any weight for about a week (well i did but i put it back on at the weekend!), hopefully tonight's super healthy dinner (veg and quorn pieces with gravy as DH was out!) will help!

    hellsbells...when I wrote my car off I took the money, bought the car back off them as scrap (wasn't much at all), got a local garage to repair the bits with bits from other cars for not much and then I had to take it to another garage for them to look and and certify it as road worthy :D I think I got £900 for the car, cost me about £400 to buy it back, get the bumper, side wind and bonnet repaired and get it certified again. Not sure if that is possible?

    Woohooo! Thank you Rach and Dusty! :A I can now convince myself I'm not going mad over the gas! But then I knew I wasn't, really. 15 minutes to boil a saucepan instead of the usual 5 is (s)no(w) joke.

    Maybe we should get Martin :money: onto this. What does it actually mean to our billls? You can tell I'm an old, senior, dumb blonde who failed her physics O level. If the pressure is lower do we consume less gas (proportionately) or are we consuming MORE because it takes longer?

    Chicken soup finally cooked and consumed. Yum Yum! Will wash dishes shortly
