    Evening everyone

    Greenbee - hope you manage to stay awake and complete the walk tonight re the itching you could just give in and pop a piriton (other antihistamines are available)....just in the cause of science...

    Loving the pix everyone

    Quillion - way to go hun - you've done so well on that weight loss!

    Serena - well done on getting through yesterday. I'm sure your Mum would have been proud of you all xx

    I've had a good day. DS and I went on the beef hunt this afternoon. We ended up doing a 3.5 mile walk before we got to the farm shop where I bought enough meat for the next couple of months worth of Sunday roast and other meals in between. BB came too and is pooped this evening. We had steak for tea! :D

    DiL, bless her, decided to show how she could grab a bargain and when she got home this evening came in with a multitude of veg and fruit. I think I need to teach her about false economies. I now have 15 large leeks and three large savoy cabbages :eek: Methinks I'll be spending much of tomorrow blanching, souping and freezing!

    DD has gone out tonight to drown her sorrows. I'm pleased it's a house party rather than clubbing in town but I'm not quite sure why I'm pleased about that....
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Quillion WTG what a result! You look marvellous.

    I was going to suggest that too but Piriton does make me sleepy - not ideal for your walk - is it over night:confused: Other AntiHs can have less side effects.

    I've done nearly all of my ironing tonight, just 4 shirts left which I'll do in the morning. About to set the WM and then off to bed to read a couple of chapters of my book.

    Won't be able to get anything till tomorrow but thanks for the suggestions. I guess if I take them and it stops at least I know I haven't got invisible bugs!

    Off now... back around 4 or 5 am!!!
