    And we have broadband :j

    Life is forming some sort of normal function......shame the same can't be said about me!! I've just bought some milk so have made a coffee....then will dive in the shower and see if I can feel remotely human again!

    And yes, boundaries are there to be pushed this year - that was the first of many, I hope :D

    Wootness to broadband being set up! :j:j:j:j, enjoy the coffee and the rest of the day as well

    Thank you!

    It is lovely to come back to our new house - and the cleaner came in while we were away so it was extra lovely.

    I am so so tired (understandably) though! I will be getting the bus to and from the football and have told DD that she will have to rely on buses and lifts for her social jolly tonight - there is no way I am getting behind the wheel of the car again today!

    An early night methinks! Although perhaps the football will wake me up!!

    Oh, and I had a sneaky jump onto the scales before I got in the shower and I am exactly the same weight (9st 9lbs) that I was before I went on hols....

    Normally, even though most people lose weight on ski hols because of all the exercise, I actually come home heavier because of all the carb laden goodies I find myself eating when I am there.

    Not the case this time - :j

    Glad you got back OK Hypno - hope the match is good!

    SE - your comments about going back to epilating match my experience - I did one leg just before christmas having shaved it about a week ahead to prepare the hairs to the right length, it hurt almost to the point of tears in the eyes, and is now giving me *lots* of discomfort as the hairs are growing back but with lots of ingrowings - I'm scrubbing regularly to deal with it. The other leg I shaves, then epilated two days later, and have done each few days since, and that one has been far better. Lesson learnt, and hopefully by next winter I will still remember it!

    Hypno, well done on not gaining weight :T

    Before trying the epilator someone on mse advised using one of those bath/shower scrunchies to stop the problem of ingrowing hairs, I use one whenever I bath or shower now, and up until now it's worked. If legs look like they're getting too dry, I use extra moisturiser/body lotion too, which I think helps.
