    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 later ;) Actually 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!

    Thanks Sally! See you dont need money for the most caring of gifts:rotfl:

    morning everyone

    William - congrats on being gamble-free for 14 days :T

    I'm going to try to get my car moving today - realised I haven't used it for over a fortnight with the weather having been so bad. Finger's crossed that it starts otherwise it'll be anoither visit to the garage and I reckon this one will cost me more than a pretty penny:rolleyes:

    Need to contact the childminder to arrange a new visit for little pickle, otherwise I'll be taking her in February and just leaving her without having been eased into it (this affects me not her)!:o

    Morning all. Wearing a new pair of trousers that I bought in the Monsoon sale (used a store voucher too) so brought the price down to normal realms :) Snow has almost gone round here and the schools are back to normal.

    Went back to the gym for the first time in AGES so hope to shift the Christmas weight....

    becks lift it up and you'll b fine. Am sat in McDonalds (I had porridge and a cup of tea - so I'm all good, and had no breakfast) using their internet quite freely. Am STARVING but I'm not going to scoff everything in sight - although my jeans are trying to make their way south.

    ETA: Have my timed assessment and was offered a seperate room, but I'm feeling brave; I'm gonna go in with everyone else

    I do it all because I'm scared.
