    Hi Red, could headaches be all the stress??????? I am hoping to lose 3 pound by the end of March! Dont hold your breath though!!!xxxx

    Would you believe, I really don't think so but could be wrong, I have a very stressful job and its never effected me like this but who really knows.

    Herewego has set me another challenge - 4lb by end of March, you are welcome to join us!

    Yeah pity it was 3 weeks late!! LOL

    A month with no charges and no phone calls would be lovely!!

    7lbs lighter I doubt it - I have a stone to lose and its very hard, already lost 7lbs so this last bit to get me back to my 'fighting weight' is always a struggle and esp since period due - I am the chocolate monster!

    Afternoon all - day off here in Saintly Ireland - hope you all drowned your shamrocks happily.

    Did loads of work from, great day off - not!

    DH still hasn't done chores I asked him to do - cancel old van insurance etc. Sure we can afford to pay insurance for a van sitting in drive!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Phone call today from MBNA saying I owed them money - oh what joy to my little heart to say - no I don't - you are wrong and it was indeed birdsong to hear them say - oh you are right - we are!!

    NSD so far but need to go to shop for dreaded fags - day 8 of champix and dose doubles today - I do look forward to not wanting to smoke and so far that hasn't happened but increase dose may help. I don't want to be a smoker but I enjoy every fag, so do need some help so fingers crossed.

    Why are fee's at Amazon so dear - I sold a CD for 48p and they paid me £1.24 postage by the time they took their fee's I ended up with 50p and it costs 77p to post so I am down 22p. Seems fees are very high, need to pay more attention.

    Its my b/day this weekend so I am trying to work out if we have money to go out for tea - thinking £30 - ebay would need to improve LOL.

    Laters dudettes xx

  • Hi Red, I know what you mean about Amaon, I've been stung today as well and ended up paying somebody to buy my book.....

    Hope e-bay picks up so you can go out for some birthday tea x
