    Shoe Gal, you are so good a keeping on top of the housework, why not put the music up really loud, put on wrist & ankle weights and dance through the housework... result, exercise and a clean flat! Oh, and have a glass of water in each room whilst you're doing this, cos you'll need it when you start to glow. Result, more water drunk!! :)
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Oh I love Satchmo's idea! What is this 'evil weights workout' of which you speak? I won't be doing it, just curious!

    :mad: evil day! 13 hours at work then stuck for an hour and a half on a closed motorway!

    No exercise due to evil day, but did come home to a letter saying my electricity DD will be reduced by £20 from next month - might help with the extra petrol money!

    Nasty day at work for you hon, but good news about electricity DD.

    My shoes arrived & they are just perfect in every way, apart from the fit so I am returning them ... (currently bidding on a brand new pair of Faith leopard print ones to console myself ):whistle:

    I blame makeup & her evil laugh :p :rotfl:

    Hope your day is better tomorrow

    Phew - what a week! Busy every day, long days and very full on! Everything went well though, and should be back to normal next week :)

    Somehow I've managed to lose 3lbs this week :D Must be all the running around because my eating has been all over the place and no formal exercise

    Very lazy weekend for me - nothing much planned so I am thinking lots of me time :)

    Good call, need some downtime to recover from your busy week. I'm starting to feel a bit ill again :mad: I woke up with a sore throat which hasn't really gone properly even after drinking plenty and I felt really tired (so I went back to bed after breakfast :o)

    So just chilling today for me!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    My red shoes have arrived and they are lovely :)

    Not much else to report, had my nails painted then got a few bits of shopping and called at my Mum's to collect the shoes

    Not a bad week moneywise as I was fed for 2 days and used a company car for 2 days this week so food and fuel saving. And my £42.50 came through from Quidco so will pay that off debts. My card etc has arrived for my Nat West account so I will get that sorted as a 'spends' account from next month - hopefully it will help me budget better and stop me borrowing from myself!

    Catching up on here then am just doing nothing for the rest of the day - I am shattered :(
