    Morning all :hello:

    Well done on the promotion Luc - online personal trainer could be a good idea :D

    Good luck with job centre and CCCS Bun.

    Well we got all ready to go swimming last night.. drove to the pool.. car park was very quiet.. building looked very closed... yep, there was a sign on the door saying they are shut for a fortnight for 'essential maintenance' :mad: So we went to Sainsburys instead (which doesn't really count as exercise). Went online and found another couple of pools we can go to, so might manage it tonight instead.. mind you it's so wet out there today could probably just swim down the street!

    Morning everyone! :hello:

    It’s sort of dull here this morning – think it’s due to rain. Nothing will dampen my high spirits though!! Still all bizz about my new hair, it’s preeeeetty. :D Also have big date tonight with hubby AND Mummy arrives tomorrow!! Also, don’t think I mentioned it yesterday but I spoke to my downstairs neighbours and they are very happy for me to re-work the front yard so I can finally grow some veggies!!! Yippeeeee!! :j So Mum and I will get down the garden centre over the weekend and get planting.

    Right, so let’s see how everyone is:

    Cc1982welcome! Lovely to meet you, I think you will definitely find some motivation and encouragement on the boards – it has really helped me.

    LMC – Iraq?? What would you do there?

    Sal – glad the ear is a wee bit better :)

    Luc – Congratulations on the promotion!! That’s you and Hubbles doing very well at the moment! :T

    Pooky – re: the husky voice…could be a nice little earner on the side???

    Sammy – booooo about the bad sleep – I hate nights like that

    Bunny – perhaps you could get some advice on the Bankruptcy thread about whether or not it would be a good move to make that decision – we are here for you to chat to as well of course :A

    Think that’s everyone for now. Hugs to everyone who needs them

    Jo :)

  • Luc, congratulations on the promotion, I'm really pleased for you. And go for the PT, you'd be fantastic at it.

    Bun, good luck at the job centre.

    Red, how I chuckled to myself abou the swimming pool.

    Jo, good guess. The area the job is in, has a Uni so could do that but in all honesty nah!

    It's very very very dark here. They predict a bit of thunder and lightening later, bring it on! :j
