    When you click 'post reply' all the multiquotes you've clicked on come up. Will make NIMs monster posts (where ever he's gone!) less impressive.

    Great news, might have another stall! Charity one so I won't personally make any money, but hopefully it'll get my name out there. It's at the old peoples home where my Mum works, so it should be nice!

    ETA: Sold another book on amazon! Should only cost about 90p to send tomorrow too. Will nip to the yard before my CBT so I can get it wrapped up and send it off.

    That is great cinny, it is all good practice and also people might really like your cakes, maybe make some business cards to take?

    Thanks Wendz! I was thinking I might have to get something for my number, if all fails. Post it notes :D

    Just had a call from the place I found for homestudy accounts courses. Got someone coming out on Friday to see me and give me more information. It's been all systems go for me lately!

    Evening all. Went to the gym again this evening, and dragged NUM with me - amazingly he wants to go back tomorrow! We went to the actual gym, and also to a boxercise class, which was hard work, mainly because it put a heck of a lot of pressure on knees and ankles.

    I feel a bit woozy now though, think its not in the spirit if I munch down on some choccie now?!

    Really chuffed though, came home and got free cinema tickets to see My Sisters Keeper, Jodi Picoult novel adaptation, was wanting to see that anyway so to get tickets for free, very very happy.

    One year to the day today since I met NIM for the first time, anniversary in a week :-)

    That is lovely to hear it has been a year since you met NIM. Great you got those tickets as well. I read the book so would be interested to see that film.

    Is the book sad? I wanna see the film too but I cry at anything so I don't wanna embarrass myself in the cinema like I did with King Kong and Brokeback Mountain! :o

    A year, already! Seems to have gone really quickly, even from a lurker point of view! Do you have anything planned?

    ~The book is amazing, very moving, I would thoroughly recomend it. No idea if the film will be as good though. I refuse to say if its sad or not as that would give away the ending!

    No, its our one year on the 24th, and nothing planned at all!

    Well done on the promotion Wendz!
    I went to the gym again last night and it completely knocked me out for the rest of the night! My thighs are sooooo sore and I can't raise my arms, OH says this is good?! Freak!
    Well done on the cinema tickets Dinah! I quite fancy seeing that film, the book's been on my 'to read' list for ages! I don't think OH will come to see it with me though so I may have to wait until it's out on DVD! OH ran into the living room last night half dressed after his shower saying, 'I've just remembered Transformers is out on Friday! Can we see it? Can we see it pleeeeaaaaasssssseeeee???' so it looks like I have plans for Friday night!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    aw, congratulations on your anniversary Dinah! and well done on the promotion Wendz!

    I love boxercise, but if you overdo it then you can't do your bra up the next morning, so I know how you feel Birdie :) I figure pain means that you're doing something right... At least that's what my OH has led me to believe - do you think it's a conspiracy?!
