    Morning. Today I WILL clear the hallway and get all the stuff put neatly in boxes. Tomorrow sister's coming over and we're having a curry and going to see a mate's band.

    I'm actually really proud of her. She owes me £300 because of people letting her down, and she's just found out that her rent is due before her wages so she needs to find £600. So she's selling her motorbike to afford it all. It's a huge leap forward for her!

    Bunny, I was looking through the local evening class brochure and noticed they have short courses on make up, and on bridal make up, do you think you'd be able to run stuff like that? Just a thought...
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    morning all :) not saying good morning though :( weighed myself not lost anything this week :( or any inches off waist or belly :(.

    The memory foam topper and pillow was lovely, but i woke up in the night stiff as a board where i stayed in one place for so long lol. I'm usually tossing and turning all night, feel a lot better though for a more peaceful nights sleep.

    Got lots of ironing to do today, and need to get in the shower in a minute

    It's just brightening up here Beannie - I'll send the sun up your way.

    I've filled the SC full of rubbery veg, chick peas and fruit with a couple of tins of the value curry sauce and some extra spices......6lts of curry to eat now! Wonder how many portions I can get out of that......;)

    Off to find something construtive to do that doesn't involve using my brain or moving which makes me cough.

  • I'm back again. I couldn't fix the seatbelt myself so I took it to the garage. £22 to fix a (beep)ing seltbeat! And it was only the ballast! :mad: They obviously don't like me anymore since I've started using Charlie Ware's in Brislington instead. It makes more sense to use them though, even though they're a bit of a way away. They're Morris Minor specialists so they always have the parts in stock (the garage I went to today orders from them when fixing my car) and they're quieter than my local garage so they can get things done quicker.

    Went to Mr M as well, very disappointed. They usually have good deals on Quorn at the one near my mum, there's nothing at mine. :mad: Will stick to Mr S in future.

    Now harvesting my Farmville crops then starting on some more household stuff.
