    Why is it you always get the card home before you realise you left the envelope at the shop????

    Hi Lucy,

    Just thought i'd pop in and say hello :hello: and welcome back!

    Seems that you have a new found energy to kick the debt - wishing you lots of luck in the money and dieting. I'm on both diets too :rotfl:

    Yes well... not sure I should talk about that one.

    Raided some left over Green and Blacks from Easter.... Still if I eat it now, I can't eat it later right?

    Evening All.

    Was sent home from work today as a very poorly girl... :o which will probably mean losing a days pay, but there was no way I could have stayed.

    So mostly today I have slept loads :cool: and I am feeling a little bit better, so will be heading into work tomorrow so as not to lose another days pay :money:.

    Problem is I am now hungry and could eat for England :o so I've had a bowl of cereal as I'm not brave enough for anything else!!

    So any ideas would be welcome.

    Evening all.

    Feeling much better today :j and managed to go back to work, although I am suffering from a strange dislike of chocolate, even the smell is making me feel iffy :confused:. So I can't be 100% well yet.

    Just been all busy wrapping wedding/birthday presents and now feel very smug as it's all done now and I can sit back and relax.

    Relatively cheap day today, although tomorrow is another story. Friend at work is getting married on Saturday so she thought it would be nice if our department and her OH's department ordered in Pizza and then I am going to Pizza Express with a friend for dinner to celebrate her birthday.... I am going to be a pizza :rotfl:I'm sure once in a while it doesn't hurt, although I am going to have pasta or something tomorrow evening.

    hope everyone is ok

    Aversion to chocolate :eek: That sounds serious!!! You will need lots of pizza to make sure that you are completely recovered - I'm only thinking of your health :rotfl:x x x

    Lol!!

    Still off chocolate, I just don't really feel like eating it :confused: Today is going to be fun as I have to have a meeting with my manager and a girl at work who it being veyr nasty to me. So wish me luck.

    Latest she came out with yesterday is how 'Fat people eat pizza all the time, and why do they? Surely they realise it will make them fatter.' :eek: And I'm sat there eating 1 slice of pizza :mad: maybe I'm being sensitive, but I wasn't happy.

    But we did manage to use 2 for 1 vouchers last night, which made the whole evening cheaper :money:

    bye bye for now!!
