    Weighed myself on Saturday :wall: Thats another 1/2 stone to come off :mad:

    Did you enjoy putting it on though? I always figure that it's not so bad putting weight on as long as I enjoyed it and its then worth the work to get it off again.

    Glad to hear that DansDad is ok. Getting a Doc's appoint can be seriously hard work sometimes!

    Yes enjoyed putting it on very much......

    2lb off today :DYipee!

    Wonders if complaining to Dr's would achieve anything? Bit like a fuel protest *rollseyes* A calm letter of complaint will make you feel better and go on their records. If enough people did complain then they'd have to start taking notice.

    My family got my aunty's doctor struck off

    He said my aunt had the menopause (at 42), yet I have never heard 1 woman say that getting out of breath doing the slightest thing is a symptom of menopause

    Time we got a proper Dr to look at her 6 months later after many appointments with rubbish Dr), it was to late to do anything as she had advanced lung cancer (she was a smoker so think that should have set off warning bells)

    The main reason we did it was we didn't want another family to suffer

    Oooo crikey Radish thats not good :(

    DansDad had a surprise appointment come through the door the other day. We're a bit confused.com as we thought he was given the all clear. I reckon they're just being thorough because of his family history. Heres hoping anyway....

    Have been doing lots with Danny we've been out and about and he's having a new saddle fitted on Monday. Have the annual visit from The One Who Has Needles next week which I've had to do some serious saving up for!

    I've made an OP today of £119.93 which tidies the mortgage to £49900. I would dearly love to get it to £45000 by the end of the year......

    Hope all well xx

    And another OP today of £100 taking April to £219.93

    Fazzer fund now standing at £360.00

    Vera fund at £400 which should hopefully get her through another MOT and insure her too :j

    I have the company's money going into my bank atm while Iwait for the savings account to open. We're putting 40% away to cover the VAT and corporation tax so that stands at about £2k which because I have an offset mortgage means my actual balance is about £47k:eek: Shame I'll have to send it out again really I could be mortgage free in 2 years at this rate :D:D:D Better not :A

    Home / Simplify :
    Do a little housework everyday so shouldnt need a big blitz once a week. DansDad asked to hoover and hang washing out today :rotfl:

    Yard / Horses:
    Keep my tack/feed room tidy and floor swept! Big muck out Sunday morning even under the bins :p
    Clean my tack at least once a month Sparkly tack :D
    Get Danny fitted for a new saddle this spring Fitted yesterday like an armchair and gorgeous :p

    Money:
    Try to make my OP target on the mortgage challenge £219.23 so far
    Work out a grocery challenge budget and stick to it. £121 already this month will probably go over

    In general be a nicer person as I find myself getting increasingly waspy... I am a serene and lovely human today as life is good :p

    However. Ma not well atm. Was tested for Huntingdons/Parkinsons/MS/MND the other day which is worrying and has been signed off work. Too much bloomin stress I reckon. DansDad having more checks after the other weeks doctors debacle. I hope they're just double checking rather than possibly found anything. He's worried.....

    I've taken on another destructor as been turning work away which isnt good... Just ordered some nice new hi viz vests for everyone Sky Blue :D and yellow and royal blue for the destructors :D

    Supposedly having a short day today..... Been here since 720 :cool: Popping off to get my ears hoovered out later on and then will give my nice new lovely saddle an outing this evening. Danny not impressed with all this work he's doing :rotfl:We have The One Who Has Needles coming out tomorrow for jabs and check ups and then DansDad and me off to the cinema to see TT3D what a treat :D

    Hope you're all well
