    Hi Keza,

    Ive just found your diary so wanted to say hi....im from Chelmsford not far from Wickford. :D

    Ive subscribed to your diary and follow it with interest as im thinking of setting a wedding date for 2010. We've been engaged for far far too long, its my fault i chicken out booking a date as my skin is always awful and i want it clear for my wedding pictures but im now 26 and its still no better and well i cant wait forever...i dont want wrinkles in my wedding pics either! lol

    Good luck with your challenge! And well done on your bingo win...£5 is better than nothing hey. :D

  • Hi Keza, your wedding plans sound very exciting! I'm sorry to hear about your whiplash - maybe you could consider something like pilates as it's very gentle and good for strengthening the back? I sometimes get all knotted up in my shoulder/ neck/ upper back and pilates really helps me out.

    Morning, I'm up and running already although I am not working:j. Supposed to have a quiet day in front of laptop writing assignment:rolleyes:-we shall see. What's the plan for tonight? WE're staying in, very MSE. Still have lots of alcohol left from last year, should be enough:). We stopped drinking on 1st January, only had a glass of wine at Xmas time, it saved us a lot of money!

    OH is paying, than you should drink whatever you want ;). I'm so ready for 2010, it has to be the best year of my life (though 2009 was pretty good too). I'm off cooking, fish are waiting for me :)
