    Phenomenal stuff on the weight loss Taxi - that's REALLY well done and don't you forget it!

    Another one with you on the house sorting thing too - I've been saying that since we moved in here 8 years ago! :D Mind you the shower is being replaced as it conked out the other day so perhaps we'll do it one tiny bit at a time!

    Hi everyone..thanks for the nice comments...been very busy around here and will be for the next few days until we go away.
    Have been doing loads of stuff computer wise eg: making recovery discs,setting up programmes and buying and installing a new printer...me being a techno[hobe it was hard work but proud that I've managed it all without getting a man in....going to get an external hard drive tomorrow and back up all my files...
    Also am going to get my very expensive Nikon camera that I bought last year out of it's box for the 1st time tomorrow and learn the basics on that ready for our holiday on Saturday...am so scared of technology but am getting there.
    my new printer will come in handy as it prints absolutely gorgeous photos...am hoping to go on a photography course sometime soon.
    DH will have to get another case out of the loft tomorrow and I'll be spending thurs/fri sorting/washing/packing etc...
    DD2 and I will go shopping tomorrow evening after she finishes work for groceries.
    Then there's the normal round of houseworky things to do...lol

    Am not going to WWs tomorrow as too busy and won't be there the week after due to being away...so it's anyones guess what I'll weigh next time I weigh in.

    Have a whale of a time, Taxi! :D

    As for technology, don't worry about it too much: it's quite hard to do anything irrepareable. Get your sense of adventure out! ;)

    And if you do happen to put a few pounds back on, don't worry about it: that's what holidays are for! :D

    Thanks Pickle ..am not worried about putting on on holiday as I'll be on this journey for a long time so an extra week or two to get there doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

    Am looking to take up a couple of hobbies but not sure what yet,,
