    Well done Sarahb :T You've done brilliantly!!

    That's fab, Souk! I've been vaguely thinking of doing something about my bank charges...would be surprised if they added up to >£200, but it all helps...you've just inspired me...I may try and do something over the Christmas break about them...

    Sad tonight, after hearing about Brittany Murphy. 'Clueless' is a favourite of mine and I loved her in 'Just Married' aswell. Way, way too young :(

    Well Gwen it all helps!

    I know, really sad news about Brittany Murphy, a friend posted it on FB and I couldn't believe it! She was so young and so talented. Right before Christmas as well, how horrible for her family.
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Gwen, it only took the cost of a stamp (actually I probably nicked it from work):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:and I'm £100 better off. And Mum is brilliant. couldn't have done the move back to the UK without her and dad's help.

    Thanks Buffy, I would like to say I have been sticking to a healthy diet but the truth of it is that I have been eating carp, however I have been eating less as I cannot motivate myself to visit the kitchen, plus I have been ill so was mostly on fluids for a week. Not a great diet plan:o The only good thing is that I am now much more motivated to carry on as I am a third of the way to my target:j

    Clarabella, you were certainly due some good luck and glad he came in such a great package (also thanks for Magic Eraser tips....my oven could totally do with a thorough clean! )[/QUOTE]


    Hmmmmm mine too :o & the handle has fallen off so we now have to open the door with the grill pan holder which doubles up beautifully as temporary door opener :D

    No way I'm spending £2.80 on oven cleaner, will wait til DF & then buy new oven ;)

    Fantastic news on the weight loss sarah :A:j
  • I have never cleaned an oven in my life. Wouldn't know how to. Wouldn't care to.

  • Hi everyone...sorry I've not been around much, I am lurking but just been so busy these last couple of weeks I've not had time to chat.

    Sarah that's fantastic news on the weightloss....well done :j:j
    If you're not noticing the changes yet then you probably will with the next few lbs you lose. I'm alot heavier than you and I can usually tell when I've lost a stone, not always with clothes but after 1 stone I've usually lost a chin or 2 :o

    Tonight me and DD have been listening to a christmas cd and I've put up my cards n some bits, so really starting to get excited now! I have no idea what I'm getting but I don't deserve anything as I've just told my mam to f-off :eek: unfortunately it also had the uck in it too :o I feel so bad. I'm gonna have to apologise to her tomorrow, infact I think it'll take more than that. I am horrified. I don't know why but the last few months my pmt rage has just been getting worse and worse. I'm finding it hard to control my temper :confused: Why do some people not believe pmt is real? I am like a different person when I've got it :mad:

    Hope you all have a good week and the lead up to the big day isn't too stressy.

    5 sleeps :D:D:D

  • Exam went fine after all :j - mulled wine may have helped in reducing panic levels :D (also perhaps the good luck vibes from TDQO's engineer's brain - thanks :D)

    Christmas drinks was fun and we're now thinking of doing something similar for Valentine's - was mostly singles today, so we could have a get-together to give everyone a bit of a boost and help feel positive instead of left out.

    Will hopefully have a nice quiet few days at work now most people are off. And I only have one short exercise to do for college, and it can wait til New Year. :j

    Well done Sarah, hurrah for Souk's refund (and your mum does sound lovely). Bowski I know what you mean about PMT - some months I really don't think straight for two days. Unfortunately I don't always realise that til afterwards :o

    Hope Monday goes OK for everyone

    Bowski my PMT is horrendous. I go from ridiculously horny (really) to raging to feeling sorry for myself in the space of 3 days!!!
