re. the car accident but so pleased you did the right thing. I had one of my cars hit when it was parked once but no one left a message.

We've had that too Alex it's so frustrating! A newly passed teen rolled back in a traffic jam , hit our brand new car and damaged the bonnet, got out apologised and left all his details then lied to the insurance company and said dh drove into him :mad: clearly mum and dad had A word when he got home.

I should go to work, the house needs a clean and I have a mountain of washing and ironing to do, plus a sit down would be nice at some point this week, but if I don't go and help on my day off I will feel guilty.:(

Hi Newgirly

I have caught up on your diary finally, wow! Your achievements are extraordinary, you should be very proud of yourself

I have been debating buying a heated airer for a while now, as our TD seems to be on permanently at the moment, I am assuming an airer would be much cheaper to run therefore a great long term investment?

All the best, I will be cheering you on!

Thanks a typical blonde that's very kind

I can't recommend the airer (and Lakeland) enough, it is much cheaper than a tumble dryer and mine currently has 3 loads crammed onto it now including towels and sheets over the top

The officially end date is april 2022 , when I joined mse in 2010 I cut the term from I think it was 33 years to 12, but the real aim is to clear it by oct next year, or more realistically the very end of next year!

Busy day yesterday, went to work to help out and then hospital on the way home to visit great uncle, then ald* to do the weekly shop as I didn't want to brave the crowds at the weekend, spent £89 :eek: I now have very little left until the end of the month from the £300, need to update all figures today.

Diet going well, although it's coming off slower than I want it to I am struggling some days with no wine (at weekends basically) so might allow myself the odd few glasses then if I'm still doing OK with diet, but not yet as I've not earned it.

Plans for this weekend:

Hardly anything :T

Do all washing/ ironing

Try and keep the daily steps up, whilst trying to have a lazy weekend :rotfl:

Watch sherlock

Congratulations are needed , I've completed my challenge of dryathlon- not drinking for he first 13 days of January :j

Ok, well I'm really a massive failure last year I didn't drink for months and months no problem, this time I've be lasted 13 days :eek: I can't not spend, eat healthy all the time and not drink! Sorry for letting the side down shs

I will still not drink anywhere near as much and keep it to weekends and nights out, on the plus side the food part of the diet is going well.

My dry 'only drink outside the house or in the house if we have guests' January got wet tonight as well . In my defence most of it was whisky for a cold .

And I have averaged more than 10,000 steps a day so far
