    Hi Vix, dh had an email saying how much she loved the business and that she doesn't often come across people so passionate about what they do (perhap dh waffled on a bit about it :rotfl:) and it doesn't look like it will be a problem for us to get a mortgage :)

    Bathroom is hopefully being finished today :T it's been a long process, it would have been yesterday but the decorator had to leave after 15 minutes as he needed to go to the main site where the guys are all working it was all hands on deck as one of them was working on scaffolding with a circular saw which was dropped and has sliced his leg :eek: he was rushed to hospital but I don't know how bad it is, poor guy!

    Off round best friend's soon, meeting up with our friend who has returned permenatly from Thailand with her son :T

    Fingers crossed for any getting results today :)

    Hope bathroom has been completed and the workman is ok.

    Have not had any news on builder.

    They did sell some up decorations last year (which I may have bought :D) will be buying more this year too :xmastree:

    Busy day again, went for an early morning power walk -60 mins, then did all the ironing, cleaned downstairs, made an afternoon tea for dds boyfriends birthday , warm scones , cream , cakes mmmm :)

    Then hairdressers for more highlight and a trim ( £116 not incl tip :o) then back to get ready for cocktails and pizza with best friend in town, not exactly a cheap day.

    3.5lb lost at WW last night, the good news is the next sale smart high waisted trousers I bought in size 12s fit, bad news is i wanted to wear them for autumn when I'm at goal weight and I still want to loose a stone, so they will be too big.

  • Trousers too big = good problem to have! Can they be altered?
  • Well done on the weight loss :)

    I hope you get news on the mortgage soon and the bathroom completed quickly.

    Hi cath £14 is pretty good! I actually rang round all the local hairdressers first and tried a new cheaper one, my mum pays that for just highlights a few shops along :eek:

    Not sure trousers can be altered easily, may not need it though if i carry on eating pizza and drink cocktails like I did last night :rotfl:

    Hi eating the elephant thanks for popping by, hopefully today is the last ever day for the bathroom, just a bit is mastic left to do :T

    Already been for an hours walk , this time with an also hungover best friend and her two dogs, one who is a recent rescue from Cyprus, not used to a lead but he is doing really well, such a cute little guy who was found dumped on a motorway verge over there :(

    Lazy day planned, might go for a mooch about the shops if I get bored, need to assess the damage to the bank account and credit card too, not looking forward to that :o
