            Back from fat club - only lost 1/2 lb this week but still going the right way - need to have a big push now til easter cause want to lose another 5lbs before DH's bday
 Re: CSI MOJT, I thought it was a fitting way to end things, though I'm sad he won't be there every week (still, there's always re-runs) BTW you can watch on the net on Demand Five, even if you can't get the channel on the TV - his last episode is free til next Tues - there you go _Jo_, hope that didn't spoil things for you, enjoy your ironing 
 :hello: AbbieB - we're all crackers here but we're a friendly lot
 Have just scarfed brekkie - have done my exercise - 4 mile round trip to fat club, some of which I jogged
 Quick 5 min sit down then HHC at 1.30 anyone?I'd rather be watching CSI!0

 My friend is coming round for dinner tonight with her little one - chicken alredy in my SC - will just pop it in the oven with potatoes for the last half hour when I get home from work - so shouldnt take too long!
 Not sure what flying I will get done tonight, but BF is out, so will get the TV to myself - sounds like a good ironing/CSI catch up.   
 (you paying attention Mozzy - thats the plan anyway - but as always may be subject to change!!)
