    He is right one thing at a time once you get past the initial few weeks and the summer arrives :rotfl: then you can think about diet and weight.
    With the weather we are having you dont have to worry about putting skimpy tops and shorts on just yet.
    I think give it another week and your back at work and making pots of money on ebay you wont remember what smoking was like

    Well done on the massive payment to Ricardo, I bet it feels good to be below the £3k mark.

    You are doing so well with the no smoking, keep strong when your SIL arrives x

    Today I painted the bathroom again, DH bought me some 'painters mate' to fill in gaps and I couldnt get it to squirt (as the actress would say to the bishop) so will have to do that when he gets home.

    I also painted the ceiling as it looked dirty white once I had finished the walls! DH will tile tonight, whether he likes it or not.

    The rest of the chateau is a MESS! SIL has ADHD (as diagnosed by me) and lives in a flat which would give an operating theatre a run for its money on cleanliness! If she were in charge of NHS there would never be MRSA again! So I need to get my finger out and get going with a MAJOR clean, how very boring me thinks!

    On the MS front - HWG is kicking !!! on the ebay challenge - she is already in the £100's and I think I have a huge £7 finishing today! Ugh - need to get other finger out for that one once Easter is over. A total NSD today, which is good and also saved on electric as it was out for 2 hours today! No snow, no rain, not even any wind, but a power outtage! Could be worse, some poor people in North West still out and wont have electric or water for Easter! I would have cried, esp since the freezer is now crammers!

    In the spirit of embarassing myself into sensible eating I am going to list what I have eaten today - kinda debt busting things for the tummy
    1. Hot Cross Bus
    2. Oatmeal and White Choc cookie - large - x 2
    3. Hot Cross Bun
    4. Bowl of homemade chicken veg soup and two slices of bread
    5. Packet of crisps

    and it is only 4.30!!!!!!!!!!!

    I desperately want a fag!

    I will excuse the food today as you have been busy decorating.
    Off running now will catch up later to see how the tiling is going
    Keep busy it keeps your mind of the fags, and remember SIL may have a tidy house but SHE still smokes and i bet shes not so busy killing of ricardo

    I just love that idea of 'fat wobbling cleaning'!

    I too cleaned the bathroom after painting it - but I have already ranted about that.

    I am good, eating for the entire parish as they say! and wanting a fag so badly.

    When does your DS get back?
