    How did you get it into text?! I can only see it in words! I want to get rid of the banner, I know how to get rid of the little image.... no idea if that bit of code is the banner or little image.... also, just to be trouble, I want to put a new banner or logo on the top afterwards...

    I swear, I'm not made for the digital age.

    Dianh, you are a legend and I only 'met' you 3 minutes ago! The 'You know you're a DFW when...' was classic, and then I come over here and read the summary of your Debt free journey - what an incentive and an awesome story! I look forward to reading how you managed it in such a short space of time and will be giving the link to my best friend to help her become debt free too. Thanks so much, you're an inspiration! :T I absolutely LOVE MSE for introducing so many great people!:j

    Hi Bails, that's lovely to hear and thats so much for posting. Anyone can do what I did, and I really believe that, so long as they have enough drive to want to change their situation and are willing to make sacrifices to do that. If you're planning to read both of my diary threads I do hope you have nothing planned for the next month or so!

    Well there's no goldfish there by the time I've had a look so you must have done something right! :confused: Poolie is a definite hero!

    Glad you're feeling better today Wendz, that training sounds good, have you been analysing everyone since?

    What's a Vine reviewer then Dinah, I've never heard of it? Do you do a lot of reviews for Amazon?

    How's everyone doing on their health kicks? I've found an online calorie counter to measure what I'm eating and burning through exercise. Did really well yesterday but had a steak and mushroom baguette and a slice of Victoria sponge last night with OH so that put me over my day's cals. I've been to the gym and to my body conditioning/killing class though and am going to go to the gym again after work. Going up a mountain at the weekend too and that burns loads apparently. OH is such a darling, I'd been on about buying a proper rucksack rather than the rubbish kids' one I've got, and last night he gave me this super-duper top-of-the-range back pack just for nothing :D :happyhear

    Hey! Just because I've been exiled (and have to actually work rather than sit on here all day!) doesn't mean you have to start dragging my name through the mud! Although it probably *is* true! I've managed to steal my manager's spare laptop so I'm 'making notes' i.e. catching up with you guys! How sad that I can't even have a few days away without worrying about how to catch up!

    My health kick is completely out of the window, it is impossible when you don't get much choice over food, although I am going for a swim in the hotel pool tonight. I have discovered that the Tesco round the corner sell Krispy Creme doughnuts, need I say more??? Apart from maybe mmmmmmmm....

    I'm going to read your thread in a bit Dinah, how exciting that you made the e-mail! And it's so cool about getting free stuff from Amazon!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Oooh linky the calorie counter. Does it make graphs or charts too? I love my blood pressure log, it makes a scary graph :D

    Been to the gym twice this week, not sure if I'm going tonight, have a few twinges in my back from last night, and going for dinner at the Pastor's house at 7pm, so it'll be a tight squeeze anyway. Might just go tomorrow instead.

    Goldfish has gone because I deleted the root image folder..... Which is a bit drastic! Plus now the wierd woods picture has split itself in two. Apparently one of our friends is a bit of a techy webby, so we're going to badger him at the weekend.

    I don't do lots of reviews for Amazon, maybe about 10 a year. But when I logged on yesterday there was a big button on the right hand side inviting me to join Vine. I logged on the other Amazon account I have, and it wasn't there on that one, so it must be at least a little selective. Worth checking out though!

    Good news on the backpack. :money:

    Haha, trust you to log on JUST as I said that! :p

    www.foodfocus.co.uk - yes lots of graohs and stuff to pore over :)

    Backpack was certainly not :money:, only for me because I wasn't paying! So will you be able to choose the books you get?
