    Me too! Love the UK but miss my sunshine life sometimes ( I was a holiday rep and cruise ship lady for a LONG time). Anyway 'Life is Sweet' X

  • Hmm my day didn't go as planned.

    thought I should have lunch early cos I was working but I wasn't hungry and ended up feeling yucky.

    Therefore before I went out I finished the cookies.......... and had a bag of cheesy puffs for dinner when I came back from work (was so hungry)

    Now I fancy a bowl of cereal. One thing with the Guinea pigs I am eating a lot of raw veg (as I cut it up one for them one for me!)

    I have walked 2 km every day this week tho. I have clean Guinea pigs and hoovered upstairs.

    Can some one remind me that after eating cheesy puffs for dinner I ALWAYS feel bloody dreadful. sighs.


    I need to go back in time.

    Ps - it would be part time as a Learning support assistant.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Hi all, CaroleM I am so with you on the museum type job, would love to do something like that, part time of course, don't want to wear myself out with a full time job:D

    I am getting quite excited about my upcoming year, I am going to throw every penny at the cc/ISA/house fund, starting on Sunday, I will update my sig every day, I am going to get into that house before I am 40. :D

    Managed to upset myself before reading an article about having a baby at 45 and thinking I have missed the boat to have a large family. icon9.gif Luckily I have wine so it's not as upsetting as it might be.

    Hi!

    Loads going on here! Hope you're all doing well, fabulous ones.

    Sarahb - You can do this!! Avoid shops though, difficult I know, but I think it's the only way for most of us that love the stuff they sell.

    Bowski - So :mad: for you about the car. Hopefully the immobiliser repair isn't too expensive.

    Whilst I'd like to join in the dieting, I know I don't really do well with it. I need to concentrate on eating healthily and doing some exercise though. I may investigate swimming times tomorrow.

    In an ideal world, I'd be a doctor or something similar. Hard work, but I think I'd love it. Today I've made some (small :o) steps to sorting out my finances which will give me more freedom to change jobs/retrain.

    Gwenx

    Basically a wobbly pole, that tones up your upper body and abs area at the same time as you are doing lower body work!! :j You can get results from as little as ten minutes three times a week. You will find you get a bit warm even tho you are not jumping about. http://www.flexi-bar.co.uk/

    I had a look at that, it has one for £39.99 without a DVD, is it worth it or do you really need the DVD? What sort of results do you get?

    I don't have to be penny pinching until Sunday so could place an order quickly:D

    Hello fabby ones :D

    Not absolutely certain about the dream but it definitely invovles either Johnny Depp or Gorgeous Guy from work, cottage by woods, in the country, near the sea & also large town for shopping :confused: If anyone recognises that location do please tell me.

    Diet wise I have done ok ish. Had cereal for brekkie, cup a soup with 2 crackers for lunch chocolate chip muffin as compensation for having to go to Tatco ;) then the most delicious mushroom risotto for pub supper.

    Havent done much exercise but have spent the last 3 hours driving people about :rolleyes:

    DD1 has created the most hilarious pumpkin lantern I have ever seen. It has eyelashes, long hair & a big Bratz style mouth. I will take a pic on my phone & try to upload it as it has to be seen to be believed :rotfl:
  • Thanks Firefox, will look into it,

    Sarah, you havent missed the big family at all, you just need a simple plan: work really hard to get your house deposit together, get the house, get knocked up, and then squeeze one out yourself before your deadline. After that you can adopt more till you have reached your required level. Simples!
