You need to make an account on photobucket or some such place, i can't remember the one the girls directed me to, but then you can link from there.

ROTE - If you go on tinypic you can upload your photo and it gives you the URL to copy. I don't think you have to sign up to it either.

My insurance for my car is about £600 I think!! OUCH!! and thats for me and my bf as a named driver (who is a 21 year old boy) but adding him on only added £30 to the price!?!
I dont know if £600 is bad of not really, at least it keeps going down I guess.... and luckily I got the car for my birthday and so the insurance is renewed on my bday so I've had it paid for as a present for the last 2 years since I got the car!! Love ya mum!!

Morning all! Lucky you Tinkerbel, a free car! Just popping in before I have to go off to horrid systems training where we'll be taught how to use a new CRM system for basically duplicating everything that we already do - hurrah!

Morning all!

Woke up in a foul mood as a contact lens tore in my eye last night, and I couldn't get half out. Had to wear my glasses to work, and then in the last 2 miles the half lens tried to work its way out so had to drive the last bit to work with one eye shut! But now much chirpier as it has come out.

Have decided to only go for the £10 a day this month, as I've missed the £20 a day target for the last two months running! This way anything I make is a bonus, rather than feeling like I've failed.

NIM is at his mens reach out group tonight, which means I'm home all alone. Planning to sort out and photograph the items to list on ebay for the next 5 days, and also sort him out 100 items of clothing to iron. That way we just have to start the race, not do all the prep each night. Although tomorrow not going to be home until quite late as have a work thing until 6pm, then got to drive over to mexican for MS, have MS, get home, do report, honestly can't really see us getting any race done tomorrow night, so might have to start on Thursday! Might just open him some competitions to do while I do the report. This week long race is rapidly going to pot!

Had a nice supermarket MS last night, and we ended up in Asda getting NIMs workwear as the Next sale has finished. Didn't do too badly though, 4 pairs of trousers and 2 shirts for £64. None of them are scary and shiny either, although NIM being quite slim he wears a 34" waist, which requires a lot of erm, rearranging, so he doesn't look indecent in the trousers! Tried him in the 36" and while they weren't quite so obvious, they looked like clown pants!

Didn't manage any exercise yesterday apart from a little walk, but still only ended up 92 cals over which means about a 1/4 lb loss. Don't think I'll get any in today either since NIM goes out at 7.00pm so I need to get home and make him some dinner. Last night made yummy sweet potato chips and he had cod in butter sauce, and I had a vege bean bake thing (we're clearing out the freezer!) and a stirfried pepper and onion.

Also ate my free Graze cranberries while wandering around Asda, suprisingly filling and so sweet stopped me craving chocolate. If anyone hasn't done the free box offer yet and is considering it please pm me your email addy as if I refer you you still get the free box and next one half price, but I also get £1 off my next box! Am actually starting to consider staying with them and getting one free box a week, its just a nice, healthy treat and the fruit packs are great for keeping in my bag for when I need a snack. Went to Sainsburys yesterday and a bag of the dried apple is £1.65, would last for two or three snacks if mixed with other dried fruit, but the saving isn't huge.

NIM spoke to our mechanic last night and now knows which part to buy, to he's going to be ordering that today, and the mechanic will be fitting it towards the end of the week.

Sounds like a bad morning. I am feeling so tired this morning. OH was polishing boots/ironing till 1 and then was up at half 6 stomping around opening wardrobes and slamming doors. I don't know how he does it, tires me out and I get an extra hour in bed after he leaves. He does normally have a nap when he gets home though.

I haven't reached my 5 pounds a day challenge at all for ages. I haven't got much expected to come my way this month either. At least it gives me something to aim for.

Dinah93

Lol I'm not good if woken early, your OH would get a nicely polished boot thrown at him if he were in my house! I guess it helps if you are getting up to do a job you love. I get up at 6.45-7am, but I am asleep by 11pm or 11.30 at the latest, any less sleep and I am seriously stroppy!

I have made the terrifying decision to photograph some of my paintings tonight and list them on Etsy/Ebid as part of the race tomorrow. That is if I can find out where my camera battery is. I don't expect to sell any, but I know for certain I won't if I don't list them!

100 items to iron?! Really? No wonder you've got nothing to wear!!

Dinah93

We have at least 200 to iron I think..... not good! That said about 1/4 of them can probably go on ebay!

Ha, so as NIM decreases his pile, he's making yours bigger!

Made myself couscous today for dinner after comparing the calories with pasta and rice on food focus and am amazed at how much I'm enjoying it, nomnomnom!
