Sarahb, I love how you have a stash of stuff for your home already, i would love to do the same but I'm so fickle I wouldnt like any of it by the time I got a place.

I dont normally join in with the diet talk because I dont diet, (because when I do I get boring and obsessive) but I will be joining in with the exercise talk from now on, as I am signing up for the moonwalk 2010. So I will be boring you all by telling when and how far I have walked. I have till May to get up to 26 miles, which is loads of time, so I will be starting by walking to work 2 days a week (4 miles) and doing a short walk at the weekend. This weeknd I did a 3 mile walk near my house on Sunday, and today I walked to work. Next step is to send off my application and cheque.

Well done :j I would love to do it but don't think I would ever get fit enough

Thanks Shoe Gal, I have 5 months so I can build it up slowly over time, otherwise I wouldnt manage it either.

So far today, no exercise, my legs are still tired from swimming last night (struggling to co-ordinate my arms, legs and breathing, inhaled half the pool last night - oops!). But I will go for a half hour walk at lunchtime and will walk home tonight if I have the energy.

Sarahb - what about putting the bits you do like out somewhere for inspiration? Like - 'I'm putting my coins in the pot so I can have a dining room to go with those pasta bowls'

Good evening... I've just read the last 10 pages as we finally have internet in our house! I'm so happy! This also means that I can bore you lot with my woes 24hrs a day

eco

How's everyone, I've been lurking and reading a great thread on OS about keeping the house warm in winter, so I've made a draught excluder for the cellar door and finished the beading on the hallway to stop draughts. Going to line my curtains next, I hate been cold and living on my own it seems a bit extravagant to have the heating on all the time.
Must share my good news, I've been asked to help out in a different deptartment cos there short staffed, and I've got to plan my work to 2 others so when I get back to my job in the afternoons I won't get a backlog of work, really looking forward to tomorrow, I need a change, and we do staff sales and I'm doing one as a favour, and I'll be getting some money as a thank you.

Good news on the job eco

I've just checked my bank balance and I seem to have more than I thought. I have done several cash-in-hand jobs over the last few weeks though and did get some birthday cash so maybe I just haven't spent much on my account??? Will need to investigate methinks.

Great news on the job eco - true what they say a change is as good as a holiday and if it comes with extra bucks too. extra F_F_fabulous!!

makeup

Hello hello

I'm back from Iceland (no, not the shop...ho ho ho)

I had a fab time but spent waaaay too much!! it is quite pricey over there and I bought a few presents for my family (and myself)....

We went to the Blue Lagoon spa which was amazing - 0 deg outside but in the water it was about 28deg...so I was in my swimsuit running from the building to the pool so fast!!

I also made it home from airport in super speedy fashion by taking Heathrow Express which is £18 :eek::eek: but from plane landing to me opening front door was 90 mins which is unheard of usually and I couldn't face the pain at 8pm on a Weds when I was working the next day!!!
