My god you lot do a lot I'm a day! I managed to do all the little things like the washing and dishwasher, but only managed to clean one bathroom, wipe only the dirtiest of skirting boards and clean only the two dirtiest windows. Perhaps I should try to finish a job before starting a new one? I am very easily distracted!

Morning all,
I've taken OH's car to the garage to find out there's nothing wrong with it. I've done the school and nursery runs and i've made the beds. I've been to Curves and haven't lost any weightbut have lost 7.5 inches.:j I'm not surprised i haven't lost any weight as i haven't really ( at all ) been sticking to the diet.:o The very nice lady explained it to me and now i get it. I was going to wait until after the holiday to start the diet but i thought i may as well start it now and give myself a head start.
I need a shower but my need for caffene was greater, so quick coffee, shower and i'll see what i can get done before i pick up Ds2.
