I have spent the day sorting paperwork and then having breaks as my elbow is still giving me bother.
Orkneygirl you have my sympathy with the back problem too. Mine doesn't want to straighten when I stand up! Your weather is just the same as ours too, sunny then tipping it down. I suppose you are not too far from me and it seems to be travelling South.
I don't have any fitflops but I do have some amazing MBT trainers. Thney were my 50th b'day pressie from DH. Great for bottoms (I got them for my back!) but I now need something for my tum.
Now you have started something because I have just found the fitflop billows. I really want some. My feet are sooo cold at the moment!business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

:j Friday spare room list all done!!! For the first time ever I have earned 5 stars!! and I now have a fairly tidy house (that won't last long though!) even managed to have some time to myself - dh bought me a relaxation dvd at costco - forest serenity, it was lovely!
We have enough food to feed several armies now! I am already planning what to do with any leftovers! We only go to costco about 3 times a year so I do tend to stock up! They already have all the Christmas decorations in!:eek:Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.
