    Don't be so hard on yourself - my list was much smaller and more doable than yours :rolleyes:

    Well done on the water - I've been hopeless at that lately :mad:

    Am aiming for a 2lbs loss this week - and 3 gym sessions :eek:

    Will post properly in a minute, but is anybody watching the programme about the model who had sulphuric acid thrown in her face? Oh my God, poor girl. How could somebody do something like that? :mad::mad:

    but this too will pass.

    Hi Buffy

    Glad you've had a better day :D It's awful when you can't face work - I've been in that situation in the past :mad:

    It sounds like it was somebody to do with her ex-boyfriend, who didn't take rejection very well. Her ex-boyfriend raped her aswell. Her face has been completely burnt, she has to have regular operations, a constant regime of medical care and she's scared to go out or have people coming to her house. I just can't believe somebody would do that.

    Right, I'll post properly now. Sorry, you're dreading work tomorrow Buffy. It's a horrible feeling. Hopefully it won't be as bad as you are expecting. I've seen your diary, you've got lots of jobs done and I really wouldn't beat yourself up about the rest. After a crazy week like that you need to chill out a bit.

    Well done on the list Shoe Gal! I've failed miserably at mine. Been very lazy this weekend. Ah well. Did you spend the Oasis vouchers? I currently have my eye on a knitted dress, cardigan and jeans :eek:

    Thanks for reminding me to take my vitamins, Sarahb! Are they any cheaper at Tesco or somewhere rather than Boots though? Also, is there any way you can move your rent payment? My mortgage used to go out just before payday and I really couldn't cope with it. Now I try to have all my DD's going out just after payday. It just makes it easier, otherwise I look at my account and assume I'm rich :o

    No, I didn't really see anything :confused: but it's only a small branch in my local town so will save them until I'm next in Manchester city centre :D

    sarah - pay my rent by standing order rather than direct debit. I get paid on the last working day each month so use internet banking to change my payment to that date each month. Works really well - I never miss a payment - or think I'm richer than I am!

    I think they will probably be marginally (sp?) cheaper in Tesco but I will get £17 back in points and £2.50 off if I get them in Boots on the Christmas shopping day this week so I think it will be cheaper if I do it that way.

    I can't move my rent payment as the landlord takes it by dd, I have a very strange pay structure which means my pay arrives on different days each month, it just so happens that this month it is after th rent paymnt, on other months it is much easier to manage.

    Also, I will have enough points on my Boots card after the shopping day to get a nice digital camera, does anyone know of a way to sell it apart from ebay? I know you can send off phones, which I am looking to do soon, does anyone know of a similar scheme with cameras?
