Morning all, early start for me. Kids up and running around like loonies, on 2nd cup of coffee already and bloody freezing outside! Anyway...reasons to be cheerful include a few sales on ebay over night (nothing special but ho hum) 14 days clean from gambling and a positive outlook for the next few weeks, as looking with a small float of £100, looking to turn it into a few thousand by the end of the year. Any others who are trying to stay clean from the gamling bug wanna chat please feel free to IM or Email me. The debts are not going away but seemingly under control, while I stay free from the bookies.
Roads very icy around Luton so people please take care

Its flipping freezing here mainly due to the howling bitter wind! At work until 1pm and then i need to blitz the house and do something constructive with DD once she gets home from school.
Well done William on 2 weeks, keep at it!
Sammy 2 miles is nothing and easily doable in between something today.
Becky, hope there is nothing to stodgy for you to eat today if the skirt is that tight
Bookie enjoy your meeting
Glad to hear your a bit more mobile today pepe...sending the snow your way laterActually they have changed their minds (there's a suprise) and its not going to be as heavy as they thought yesterday, in fact it will probably miss me here!
