    Surely if it's the same part that has gone, then it should be covered by warranty.

    A happy Benbenandme tonight ... Bournemouths manager has decided to stay :j :j I know this doesn't sound too exciting but loyalty these days in football is very very rare and he is an amazing manager so its very good news for Bournemouth :D

    Today has been fine again, the guy is coming round tomorrow evening to fix the hot water so no hot bath tonight, just a cold shower :o

    I did spend 80p on a choccy bar for ds at swimming as I forgot to take a snack for him, but otherwise its been a nsd.

    I did sneak a peak on the scales earlier and its looking like a 2lb loss this week, which isn't bad but a bit disappointing for the first week on the diet, but I do find when I start a diet now my weight doesn't shift much in the first week anymore, I think I've done so many diets that my metabolism is messed up :o

    Right, off to play with ds for a bit before trying to get him to bed a bit earlier tonight, its 9pm most nights at the moment and he's grumpy becuase of it :cool:

    Evening all, so its weight-in tonight, last week was 12 st 2.5lbs, I'm really hoping it begins with an 11 tonight :o:o

    I'm currently waiting for the hot water man to turn up, I desperately want a hot bath, this morning I had to keep boiling the kettle to fill up the sink :cool:

    So far today has been a nsd, money will be spent at WW but thats already budgeted for.

    Am back ... the guy didn't turn up to fix the hot water so I still don't have any :mad: We ended up having to go to mums to have baths.

    We also went to WW and i have lost 3.5lbs this week :j :j :j In total I want to lose 23.5 to get me back to 10 st 7lbs, so 20lbs to go ;)

    The hot water man turned up tonight, he thinks its fixed, will let you know tomorrow! We went to mums for a roast dinner after that which was yummy ;)

    Today has been another nsd :j I'm pleased with the lack of spending since last weekend, can't believe its friday again tomorrow already either :)

    Tomorrow evening we're off to mums again to watch Bournemouth on Sky, its looking like our manager may be leaving after all, despite promising to stay on tuesday he's had another better offer from a club near the top of the Championship, so hopefully tomorrow we'll see one way or the other about that :o

    Thankyou for the comments Tigz and Bob re. the weight loss, I don't feel as though I've really stuck to it (although I have), I seem to have had quite a lot of snacks, and a hell of a lot of fruit, I normally hardly ever touch fruit and have been having 3 or 4 portions a day this week :eek:
