    Right I've had a bath and feel human again :) Everythings unpacked and away / in the washing pile. First load of washing is on, five minutes on here now before I dry my hair / persuade ds to get dressed / pack the ebay parcel up / try not to contemplate the size of the ironing pile by the time I've cleared the washing :o

    I've been to collect my parcel and it was my new phone :j We've also been to Sainsburys and done the food shopping and posted the ebay parcel. The third load of washing is in the machine, one or two more left after that and then I'm up to date again :)

    Ds wants to stay in and play this afternoon which suits me just fine, I'm going to catch up properly on here, get to know my new phone, clear all the surveys from my inbox and see if there are any matched bets available for the weekend :D

    My new phone has a new number, does anyone know how I keep the old one, OR, if I keep the old one as it was, can I just cancel that old contract and stick a free sim in it? I'm clueless about phones, basically I just want to keep it as some competitions require a mobile number so it would be much easier if I could keep it separate from my proper phone?

    All my surveys have been done, screened out of nearly all of them, but the election is definitely increasing the number of surveys I'm getting :)

    I've also done one qualifying bet for tomorrow and another free bet which made me £2 profit, not a lot but was only a small freebie ;)

    Ds has gone to his dads now, I'm just making some butternut squash soup for tea ;) and then am planning on a relaxing evening of entering competitions, surfing the net and an early night :)

    Washing pile is empty, ironing pile is growing :o and other than a few of ds's trains on the floor, the rest of the flat is tidy and clean. Just enjoying Alistair Appleton on Escape To The Country at the moment, my ideal cutest guy ever :D

    Thanks Milly, I'm struggling a bit tonight, the chocolate is calling me :o I know its only because ds has gone away and its purely a comfort thing :( I need to get straight back on the WW wagon though or I never will.

    So far I've done about 10 competitions, I need to crack on but for some reason am not concentrating on anything for more than about 5 minutes...

    He is lovely but I think you might be out of luck there - don't think you are his type;).
    On the phone front can't you just ring the new provider and ask them, I think it's much easier now than it used to be.

    Yep I'm definitely not his type, but he is beautiful :o

    Think I will keep the new number on the new phone, just need to understand what I need to do with the old one :)

    Morning sunbeams :) Today is official weigh-in day (I just sneaked a peek yesterday after my trip away, anyway, the good news is that one day of point counting yesterday has got rid of that pesky pound that crept on, so I have stayed the same this week, which I am majorly overjoyed with, seeing as I've enjoyed the odd ice-cream, cake and bit of cheese :o Last night I fell asleep to my Paul McKenna cd on repeat, so hopefully that'll help the appetite today :rotfl:

    So, the sun is shining and I have just 2 days to go before we're back to school. Today I need to tackle the ironing mountain that has appeared, deliver my brothers birthday present and have a go at fixing the telly, (all the digital channels have decided to disappear and we just have the bog standard 4 channels). Other than that I may try and go for a nice walk or sort the stuff in the garage into proper boxes for a car boot, but at the moment I dont really feel like doing that :o Time to scratch ;)

    Morning lovely... it's a gorgeous day here, must be stunning there. Have you ever been to that reptile/raptor place nr Lyndhurst? We won a family ticket at DD's school but never been and don't know anyone that has!! Although for a free day out I'm not going to complain!!
