    Morning guys - managed to get up OK and nearly ready to go out, despite not being able to get to sleep last night until about 4 am!!!!

    Brrrrr it is icy out there today - Mr 3Dog has just gone out to de-ice the van - at least it has started OK, I just heard it start up :D We will be going out about 9 am and I will drop Mr 3Dogs off at the car boot site as he is going to do some clearing out in the storage unit, then I will go help our slimming consulant with her Tuesday class till about 11 am, when I will go back to pick him up or help him do some more

    My sister will be going down to see how Mam is about 9'ish so I'm eagely waiting to hear from her :( but will let you know when I get back later

    Hope everyone has a good day today :D:D
    :( Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12 :( 3Dogs'Mam 31-3-13 :(

    Morning. Blood sugars went a bit crackers yesterday I was tired so i get stupid and start crying. If I burned calories everytime I cried I should look like a supermodel (ok but a short one). After a hypo in the night i am ok now. Hooray.

    I hope they can sort something out for your Mam Susan. Marru i had a day like yours yesterday. Put it this way it can only get better.

    Sofa's arrived and men stuck 'em together and went 15 minutes ago. Bed stuff arriving later. Then i am going to have a free day and try to sort some unpacking out. I might be naughty and have a lie in or watch a film. A leisurely day. Hooray.

    Had a few phone calls from creditors when we were out today - I've made a note of the number of one of mine who rang asking me to ring them so that next time that number comes up on the phone, I will answer it and go through security, let them say their bit and then inform them of my DRO :j :j where's that smilie of a satisfied grin ;)
    I hate that "going through security" thing on the phone. Especially when it turns out afterwards that the only reason they were calling was to try and sell you something else.
    Amex do it a lot, they ring up, say who they are (i panic thinking my cards been cloned again) , they ask if i'm Mr S****, obviously I say yes, but then say they need to confirm that they are talking to the right person (makes me feel like they're calling me a lier!) so we go through the security questions (half of which i cant remember the answers that i originally gave for them)... and then they start with all the shpiel about some valuable new feature of the account and how it will only cost an extra £so much per month.GRRR! usually I just slam the phone down at that point in anger!

    Im really miffed to have to go back to class & I cant really afford it but from a health point of view I really really need to.Gah.
    Im ok sw, very tired & very wobbly.
    Aww beanster! wobbliness is relative... compare yourself to how you were at the start of your diet and be proud of what youve acheived and then just take it one kilo at a time. Is there part of the "going to classes" thing that you cant get elsewhere for free?

    A goat??? they are good for the lawn. :D
    or stew if youre not a fussy eater!

    SW with the new sofas and new bedstuff, I'm putting money on you having a very lazy day today.

    I was delivering some stuff to a place that makes sofas a while back and got to see how they make them, was quite shocked how basic some are, I could probably make them myself... more or less all you need is a few bits of wood, foam, a staple gun,jigsaw and sewing machine. They look very flimsy inside..its no wonder i break so many!

    I have never eaten a goat. Gosh.

    My sofas are huge, they drown the room. When steve and andy come at the weekend I will ask them for advice as they are good at things.

    The sun is shining in my eye having trouble seeing the screen. Wotcher doing?

    as opposed to? taking a day off and goingto work? lol

    i'm fine thanks, hope you're not crying at the moment, would be a shame to get tears on the keyboard, cos theyre a bugga to clean.
    and thanks for the pm... you do say some nice things :-)

    went to bed ridculously late last night with the intention of having a lie in, the dog decided that he was going out for oblutions this morning at the normal time though, so i got up to let him out hours ago and didnt actually manage to do the going back to bed thing afterwards and so im still sat here at the computetr.

    One of the few perks of being self employed is that you can lie in whenever you want!

    Well we know who the nice people are and we are always here for each other on the threads. Most people are lovely on MSE that's why it has so many members and is going from strength to strength.

    Your Puddingness i am the idiot who goes in on her day off - this day off has caused a £17grand pay cut and i asked for it and i still go in. Sometimes i am a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Actually most of the time.

    I haven't cried today. Nohope is a darling and cheered me up. And so did steve and lots of nice people pm'd me and emailed. I was just a bit frazzled yesterday but am chillin today.

    Blooming sun is in my eyes.
