    empty DW
    reload DW
    hoover through
    dry washing from yesterday (maiden)
    check bank

    Tag I don't really know the ins-and outs of the £2000 thing but I'm certainly gonna look into it, mines over 10 yrs old and I've had it for a couple of years, only thing is I'm not sure I want to tie myself to car finance, infact not sure I'd even get finance with my bad credit lol. It's worth looking into for you tho def.

    The day can only get better, pigpen x

    Reet, Off to make the beds etc....

    ...and hide the voddie from MIL.
    :rotfl::rotfl: is that because she drinks it or she doesnt approve of you drinking it!!!:rotfl:
    TAG thats a lovely idea - yes you need to be able to prove you have had the car for a year to get the £2000
    jillD keep up the good work with mealtimes etc - its obviously making a difference - I would say you are pushing yourself a bit to do the 2 hour round trip - espec in view of the fact you were aching last night- I would suggest just trying to do a bit every day but not huge amounts like you did yesterday - BABY STEPS!!!!:rotfl:
    soappie have you arnica gel for the bruise - it works wonders
    83rachel hope you feel better today - what are they when they are at home????:confused: poly whotsits????
