    Aye I did thanks. How's ya son doing?

    Well, I didnt get any urgent messages in school today, so that's a good sign. Last I heard is that they're having a ball, and were very excited by today's snow. He'll be home knackered and filthy on Friday :D

    sammy i'm right there with you on that one. at my heaviest a few years back i was just shy of 12 stone which I hated. At my slimmest 2 years ago i was 8st 8 and that is what i am desperately trying to get back to so i know exactly how it being in the mind can make you feel and even if people say "don't be silly" if you are still heavier than you want to be you still convince yourself you need to loose it. if that makes sense, which i doubt, i'll get me coat.....

    Never get the idea that slimmer is better - after a limit, slim looks awful - and that limit is higher than you think.

    Thats the thing, I've never done buildings insurance so not totally sure needs to be put on for cover
    but her renewal quote (lloydsTSB) was £699:eek::eek:
    the cheapest i found was £125:eek::confused:,
    and a new quote from Lloyds TSB was £160:confused::confused::confused:

    I must have missed something out or the quote will leave her under insured:o:confused:

    For buildings insurance you just need to ensure that the rebuild limit would actually be enough to rebuild her house. It normally is unless it is very big or made from expensive materials (like stone).

    If people had relied upon your description of yourself, we would never have found you.

    I am so bloody miserable. :(

    I am off to the gym on the basis that it can't be any worse than sitting here getting all upset and self-pitying.

    Please will someone just shoot me? Now. :rolleyes:
