    aww ta el, will have to meet up sometime soon in the horrid town (not where you live but where I work) for a coffee, schools go back soon so life should be less complicated! just as well I noticed now though as me without a cuppa in the morning isn't good.

    what a miserable day! it's tipping it down here and I went to the gym in gym stuff and put flipflops in my bag to change into :eek: - what planet am I on:o? Had a great time at the gym and really need to make the effort to go more often, love it when I get there but the idea of going sometimes is just yeuuuch! also need to make more effort with my appearance as there are some rather nice blokes there:D! always go in clean and sweet smelling but maybe the scraped back hair and no make up is not the ideal... still I end up looking like a lobster by the end of it anyway:rotfl:.

    Well Elantan, current weight is 11st 7 and I want to be 10st by Christmas - is that even doable I wonder... worth a go and I really want a flat tummy and a proper waist again more than the numbers going down.
    Back up to £1 on the survey site so all good so far.
