    Count me in FCC :) Oooh tomorrow is an easy one, I already have a lovely sparkling bathroom :)

    Boddy hope all goes well tomorrow hon, will be thinking of you sweetie xxx
    Seafarerswife - Hope you had a lovely Birthday today, and got totally spoilt xxxx

    Haven't done a lot today as I woke up with a horrible cold that turned up from out of nowhere this morning, so inbetween taking cold pills I was asleep. Oh we did investigate our new refurbished Asda and had a lunch of creamed parsnip soup in the cafe there, and I bought myself a new pair of jeans and some christmas foody bits.

    Not sure what tomorrow will bring as DH has a day off work so will be under my feet all day..lol

    An easy tomorrow for me too - I can HARDLY be expected to clean a bathroom with no tiles, a temporary loo (the word is naff, apparently, as is toilet - personally I feel the name isn't important, as long as it's clean;)) no basin, no floor - and a STACK of tiles parked NEATLY outside the room in readiness for the tiler, now can I?

    So thanks to all at FCC for your sterling work in keeping us motivated.

    Shall bimble all week until I have a beautiful bathroom - and am waiting to post the after pics...once I have finished paying for THIS project I think I will move on to the windows...

    and I made £7.50 with my 'antique' - bought for about 10p by exOH1 I think...

    I'm in, thanks for the thread
  • I'm in - yet again trying to do better this week :o Not been a great week, which is why I haven't been on here, but the worst case scenario is unlikely (fingers crossed).

    Thanks to FCC :A

    boddy - my thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow; I hope your mum gets the wonderful send off she deserves xx
    I have no will power or self discipline and I comfort eat and then I put on more weight so i comfort eat some more:(:(toots xx

    Toots - that describes me exactly :o I'm so fed up about having put on the weight I had lost but I seem to have lost all self control and I eat things without thinking and then feel soooo guilty. I need help!!

    Right - need a list and to put furry boys to bed so I can try and sleep too.
