    LOL Cinny, I’m scared of having an ugly baby too! I keep having to reassure myself that our baby will be cute… oh I hope it is! My friend showed me a picture of her when she was newborn and she was a 10lb baby- she filled the incubator! Her poor mother, that must’ve hurt!

    I was messing around with OH last night and doing karate kicks to prove that I still can get my leg up higher than hip height …. and I hurt my hamstring! I keep wincing as I walk today… when did I get so old and useless?! On the plus side on Saturday night I got ID’d at a bar and wasn’t allowed in because I hadn’t bothered to bring any with me! I was saying, ‘Haha, really funny…. I’m nearly 25, I’m getting wrinkles and everything!’ but the bouncer was deadly serious and made me go away, how embarrassing!

    Thanks everyone, today went fine. Its all pretty much the same as my old job, just working with a different system. Took bloody ages to get to though, but i didnt really know where i was going. Still dont know the rate of pay! How useless am i.

    Yay Dippy! My cheque arrived too, just opened it, wasnt expecting it as it was hand written! :D

    Yeah that threw me at first but now I just look out for a Barclays cheque when I open the envelope!

    Glad your first day went well. Lol that you don't know your pay though!

    yey I'm well glad you got it before thursday when youre going to town Dippy (If I've got that right!) I'm ready for the wednesday day 'weigh-in' of DY points if we're doing that today Birdie? I am happy with how I am doing but I've been finding it a struggle to keep going because I have no idea about things left to review! Ah well I'll do it somehow.
    Moneywise with everything else, it is still not going well. Have 2 big nights out planned for the end of term and a birthday so I dunno.. Going to try and phone up later about some possible work shifts but I always feel a bit wierd calling up because I always think they are mad at me :(

    Yep that was right, Tink although somewhat annoyingly, the friend whose idea it was in the first place isn't sure if she's going to town at all now so I was probably worrying for nothing on that front in the end.

    I'm running out of stuff to review too now so no idea how I'll ever get to 50k! If we're doing the check-in, my cleared points are 5,960 so not moved on too much from last week!

    Morning! Yep, weigh-in day! I did OK last week, I really got into the reviewing groove but I’ve not really done much the last few days, I started about 3 reviews last night and gave up because they were rubbish! Will try again tonight!

    Number in bold is the new balance and the number in brackets is how many points have been earned in the week so we can see who's doing best!

    Birdie : 14650, 17395 (2745) 21380 (3985)
    DippyKitty : 1955, 3160 (1205) 5960 (2800)
    Lulu : 500, 13070 (12570) 17990 (4920)
    Tinkerbel : 7195, 17060 (9865) 20825 (3765)
    Poolie : 16775, 17035 (260)
    Tete: 17395, 17725 (330) 19670 (1945)


    Well done for getting halfway Tink!

    Are we doing cleared or total points? I'm a bit confused as Tink said she's doing total.

    Mine are:

    Cleared - 5,960 (+2800)
    Total: 9,050 (+3585)

    Not sure which you want to put in my update Birdie so I've added both and put the points earned since last week in brackets so you can just cut and paste if you want to use my total points instead of cleared. If we're doing cleared, just ignore this as it's irrelevant!

    Lol at my figures being so much lower than everyone else's!
