    Second estate agent came round tonight, he said he'd put it on the market for £170k and sell for just under that. I was still convinced to stay put but having chatted to my sister I'm a bit unsure again :o Basically she pointed out how I don't like to take any risks and pointed out that anyone moving house would feel uneasy about increasing mortgage etc. Anyway, I'm going to give it all some more thought and see how I feel :o:o

    WW-wise I made a butternut squash soup tonight (0 points) and it really was scrummy, I would choose to eat it even if I wasn't on a diet, it was quite sweet and theres loads left so am going to have more tomorrow :)

    I did 2/3rds of my davina dvd again tonight, hopefully I'll be able to walk tomorrow :o Had a nice bath and am now watching 'One born every minute' ... what an obnoxious pig that bloke is telling his partner 'to get on with it' and ' millions of women do this every day, why can't you? Do you have a low pain threshold or something?' :eek: :eek:

    I've been good with my WW points again today :T I have a double decker as a treat tonight (4.5 points), and am looking forward to it already!

    Just done a matched bet which made me a fiver, got another one planned for tomorrow night. I'm going to have another go at number crunching tonight to see if moving is feasible, Mum really wants me to move and keeps trying to persuade me :o

    Right, time to persuade ds to go to bed, wish me luck :)

  • I think I might start having an evening treat too;) I have 4.5 points left but nothing exciting here to use it one - it might be a rich tea...2 Tesco value ones for 1.5 points, bargain!! Mind you, I 'm going to my sister's this weekend so the wine we consume will account for the lack of points today:p
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    BBAM, can you get a third valuation - it's just they seem so far apart might be worth seeing if one was wildly out (hopefully the lower one:)).

    Mr T's are doing wee pretzel type things in multi packs - 1 and a half points per bag and mega filling:)! DS currently eating crackerjacks S&V cos he likes them better than crisps...

    If any of you have added me on facebook tonight can you let me know who you are please? Someones tried adding me and I don't know them so am guessing its someone from here? I don't want to accept them just in case it isn't :o

    SS - I'm not so fussed about savoury stuff, its purely sugar and chocolate I crave :o I do give myself a treat each night though, would never be able to stick to it otherwise. I went through a phase of eating the caramel snackajacks but got sick of them after a bit :(
