    I met my German friend which was nice as we hadn't seen each other in ages. the weather was perfect so we were able to be outside.

    I have a special router at my house connected to an IP phone which lets me tunnel directly into work as if I was in the office. It hasnt been working since yesterday morning which is a blessing and a curse. I have opened a ticket with the "help-less desk" but I cant check on the status of my ticket. You can't make it up!

    ok dinner has been had from the fridge dogs just walked because it was too hot earlier, bed changed and I am getting ready to give myself my free DIY pedicure after a bath. I have enough nail varnish to last me a decade if it doesnt go off. not all of the colours suit me, but so what? at least I wont have manky toes even if they do look a bit ghetto fabulous with sparkle! Ha!

    My work computer router still isn't working. I will hope the technology fairy comes durning the night to sort it all out for me so that when I try tomorrow everything is magically working again (it's happened before!)

    Hope you are all ok x

    so yesterday I spent 5 hours on the phone with the helpless desk only for them to determine that the router is bad and the have to send me a new one! :mad:

    Still sunny here down south, and it is trash day! I love trash day (Sad) but just getting all the stuff out of the house excites me.

    Heading off to the gym at 930, trying to lose this 25lbs and it isnt easy coming off but it sure is easy to put on.

    Go to post office and pick up stuff from the chemist and then start work at 13:00. will try to get a load of was hung out in the meanwhile. Wow I feel tired writing all that down!

    Bfast, lunch from kitchen cabinets and fridge, dinner I may have to buy something.
    How is everyone

    Someone needs to get out more :D:D:rotfl:

    Well done on the gym, it's on my 'to do' list, but I'm not going to look at it seriously until the dark nights start. Over summer I am trying (though not hard enough!) to walk more and even start running again. I don't need to lose much weight, though a few pounds would be OK, but I desperately need to tone up. Also walking and running is free!

    walking and running is free so very mse.!! :) my gym is £15.99/mnth and now that I am doing my own manis and pedis plus shaving my armpits and legs and not waxing, (although I still get my moustache and whiskers threaded off £3) I still have a net savings of about £30 a month x
