    Thanks herewego!

    That virgin cc will be no more after next payday. I am determined to end it's life! Then only the MBNA and sainsbury's loan. Still a long way to go (31 months) till I am free!!!

    Good Luck to you too with your fight against Virgin:p

    Hi,

    Day off today.Been to bank, posted ebay parcels and beauticians. Came home and suddenly got the urge to run. Not ran for 2 years because of bad back. Anyway, I just did it, ran a gentle 2 miles quite easily and actually enjoyed it!! Going to try to run three times a week!! he he , so happy!!:T

    At work tonight. Hope it's nice & quiet.

    And wish these bloody sneaky politicians would get it sorted. I am fed up with it now:p.

    At work last night but very quiet, managed to watch most of the comings and goings at No 10~ very exciting.

    • Have got bids on kipling handbag on ebay ~ good news was going to throw it away!!
    • Cofirmed DS#2 limo details for leaver's day
    • DS#1 has left me list of flats he wants to view in nottingham. But internet still not working properly and won't download.
    • Called virgin re; internet not working for over 2 weeks now. They can't say when it will be fixed now. I am paying £20 a month and getting really sporadic, slow service. Def going to look to swop provider now. Not sure which is best???
    Well going to try & get some more kip. Only had 4 hours:(.

    My mum was with Virgin and had same problems as you and when it was working it was soooooooooo slow, they promised this that and the other and never did any of it - she's now changed providers and it's working fine and dandy :)

    Your ebay is coming along fab! Well done on the run, I find them so relaxing in a non relaxing way if that makes sense and it doesn't have to be anything mad, 2 miles is good exercise. Think i'll join you on the 3 runs a week target if you don't mind? I'm doing the Great South Run end of Oct (10miles) so training for that - it'll keep me motivated and i'll try and do one long distance a week might end up 4 runs a week for me but def up for a little motivation on diaries if you are :p

    Hope you have a nice sleep x

    Hiya choc addict,

    Yeah feel free to join me on my run challenge! I used to run quite a bit; 10k's and did a couple of half marathons. I loved it but my back started playing up so I quit. Been nearly 2 years since I did any jogging so was happy I managed 2 miles without stopping even if i was really slow! I nearly did the great north run in 2008 but had to pull out. Good luck with your race!:T
    Plan to go for next run tomorrow when I awake from my night shift stupor.

    Bye for now, MM

    Feeling absolutely rubbish today, self inflicted:(. Still managed to go for run no2 this week despite hangover.
    DH got us a curry for tea because I did not feel up to cooking. He is so very understanding!! I'm back at work on nights tonight & sunday. Really don't feel up to it but hopefully will perk up once i get there?

    Ony 11 days till payday!! Still doing spending diary. Bank account still in credit, first time in years!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Off to get ready for the slave chamber. Bye!:)
