    Hello all

    Back from my hols, boo. Had a great time. Nice to be home and very glad i did lots of flying before we went so the place is lovely and clean. Have also given the car a really good clean inside and out since we got back.

    Probably won't catch up this week but look forward to the new lists...

    Looks like some changes to the forum...has there been lots of down time?

    Hex - well done on the weight loss/size reduction! What's your secret?! Also, knock the interest in windsurfing on the head early on - otherwise it will become a VERY expensive hobby. My brother has always seemed to need several boards and numerous sails, all of which either need repair or replacement on a regular basis! (and his honeymoon will be his first holiday out of sight of the sea since he was about 10!)

    Mozzy - thanks, by stopping eating like a pig (most of the time) but also a bit of jogging and some cycling. Lost just over a stone since Christmas now - but I have another two to go ideally. I used to be a 10 but have slowly put on weight over the last ten years or so.

    Hi all,

    nice to be back to normal, well as normal as things can be dont like this smaller box though.

    Have spent the day washing & ironing sowing seeds and have just come back from being out for lunch with FIL and one of his friends who was up staying so i dont even have sunday dinner to make.

    going to pack now, we have decided to go away for a few days and visit relatives up in Caithness so fingers crossed that the weather holds.

    ETA Hex well done with the weight loss

    Seeds round 1 all sown. Hubbie doing well with listing stuff on freecycle.

    Just been in the loft to get my easter decs and feel really depressed about the amount of stuff we have up there.

    BBQ for dinner
