    Well done on the weight loss BTD :T 9lbs is fantastic!!
  • Hi BTD. You are always talking about what you spent on others in yr diary. I'm always talking about what I spent on myself. You are much nicer person than me! But I do think in real life, all of us here, would get on well, don't you?

    Hi BTD, I'd so love to pop to the seaside as often as you! My dream retirement pad is a large glass fronted white box overlooking the sea. It will have an artist studio for faffing about in and me wafting around in a white kaftan! :rotfl:
