    750 isn't bad, and those Ka's run really cheap too - sounds like a good buy! Has your dad had a look at your car?

    Morning!

    So far this morning, I've walked the dog, rowed a couple of hundred metres, made enquiries about going to a yoga class three times a week and taken the vital measurements to work out what dress size I am now. Turns out I'm a 16, so thats three dress sizes I need to loose :eek: on the plus side I actually really like strawberry SlimFast :rotfl:

    The plan for the rest of the day is a trip to Mr T's to buy quorn and carrots and other food that is condusive to weight loss, a trip to the Eden Project with my sister in law because she's got an interview (clever girl), do some filing and maybe buy the gorgeous maxi dress I spotted in New Look yesterday in a size 10 just for that extra bit of inspiration!

    I'm actually quite excited about being slim again!!
