    I can't believe it either :eek:

    Louis has shot himself in the foot I feel, he has now lost the best group he had and he is now left with: John and Edward. :eek:

    Go figure .........................................

    On a brighter note: Way to go Cheryl and her first solo number one :j :T

    I hope everyone is ok tonight?
    Oh and thanks to Fay for scoring this month :T (()) xxxxxxxxxx

    Hugs and God Bless

    Flies in to say thanks for the lovely comments BB and nice to see you!

    Skoots back off to get on with more work and pack her back for her trip tomorrow!!!!

    Pah kids back only 48 hours and I am skooting off with work - feel bad about it - but needs must.

    Hope everyone's OK - thanks for the update SSA just amended my spreadsheet!!

    Might not get on til late tomorrow night (unless I find time for a sneak on tomorrow morning) so be good - I will be AF in NI all week -(will do the 72 hour challenge and then do an AF thurs) then home to drive DD to a cello concert on Friday (so will be a FAFFER) and then DS birthday on Saturday so will be (SAFE) the rest of my month is DEFINITELY AF - woo hoo.

    Thank you goodly people for keeping me on the straight and narrow!!!!!

    Its the final week, almost at the closing gates - anyone wishing to amend any targets to give them a final motivation for the rest of the week - I'm all ears (PM me) or write it in monster big letters on your post if you are feeling decadent and I am utterly unscrupulous (no further comment there!!!!) so any changes are fine by me. That way everyone gets a jumpy!!!!

    We're doing brilliantly - nearly £2000 saved :)

    Go you lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    PS I have just amended my target to 26 as I won't make 31 - close but not close enough!

    Evening everyone.

    Phoarrrrrrrr...Micheal Buble(sp)

    Can't believe X Factor.....as you say Budgie it wont be long till Louis out of it.

    Well its official folks.....Mr MP has done 7 days....one whole week AF:T. I can't believe it.....He is so funny though as he doesnt like pop or fruit juices......he has been drinking detox tea all day and then he has a sleep tea one hour before bed then another detox.....talk about one extreme to the other :D...and tonight he has gone STRAIGHT TO SLEEP...woohoooo.(he has to get up at 4 so is in bed now)

    He still says he is only cutting down so will probably have a couple of bottles of beer next week but if that be the extent of his drinking thats great.

    Hope you are all having an enjoyable evening.
    Take care of you
    Love Mollypollyxxxx
