    Don't watch corrie but... did Joe borrow from lcoal area loan sharks? They're the type to use intimidation, threats and violence to reclaim a debt!

    To be honest, not entirely sure of that, but don't think it changes the fact that Joe could have decked the idiot for forcing entry into his home. They are making it look as if there is absolutely nothing he can do.

    I just emailed my boss (am off today) to say that we have snow forcast tonight and all tomorrow so am concerned about coming to work (on leave today). She replied quick as a flash "where you getting that from? Only light snow due according to website I checked". I really felt like saying "oh, yeah, you got me, no snow due at all". I'm hardly going to invent it!

    Now need to decide if I dare go out shopping before it hits?

    Wow Pap, you have lost loads more since Weymouth and you look bloody fantastic lady! You should be so proud of yourself for deciding to make the change. I know not everyone agrees with CD but if it takes you from morbidly obese to a healthy weight and you can maintain it then it doesn't matter!

    well done you hun, so proud!
