    Morning all!

    Hope you get good news today Linda - rubbish about the fridge - dont the companies have to take them back now for disposal under the WEEE objective??

    They do but there's usually a charge! :mad: Council may remove it for less or free (I'll find out) if not it may have to live in the garden or garage for a while.

    I have a bite the size of a 50p on my back from the race on Saturday :eek: Luckily I already have some cream at work from another bite a few weeks ago but its in just the wrong place for reaching!

    Surely that's against the rules, biting onto a fellow competetor to hitch a ride? ;)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Morning all. Fingers still crossed Linda x

    Had quite a productive evening of clothes washing and fixing, and a little run to try out my new trainers.. then forced myself to get up at 6 this morning to run and really enjoyed it :) Sorted out sending back some trousers I had to return to M&S and just writing a couple of letters to stoopid DCAs who are being awkward, oh sorry "reviewing my payments" :rolleyes:

    Quiet day at work again I suspect.. must find productive things to do!

    We'll pull it out when hubby gets home and see if we can find anything obvious.
    I'll be looking later via Quidco for what's available.

    Busy day today. work then football training and won't get home til near 9pm at night... the joys!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • Morning all, good luck with whatever you do!

    Got the day off today to wait for the laptop ambulance to come and take my laptop to the laptop hospital, its been poorly for a while :(

    Pottering around, gonna walk to the bank and pay in my loose change, stop off at the chemists (I've decided to quit smoking!) and then Weight Watchers weigh-in tonight.

  • Morning!

    My phoneline's working! :j :j :jFor some strange reason, BT sent the confirmation letter to my old address. I thought they'd reconnected it there at first! :eek: But no, it's finally up and working so I should have the internet again soon! :j

    I need a shower so I'd better rush off home. Talk soon.
