    I don't :o.

    Forgot to say Sunday. I made Mr GG come and admire how thick the juice was in Aldi's tinned tomatoes and how the quality was much better than other supermarket value ones. He said I should put it on here. So I have :D.

    SW TG. I like it's sensible approach and the fact you can eat as much pasta, potatoes and rice as you like ;).

    OK folks - there is a new Mortgage Free in 3 Challeng starting in December and a lot of you new folks haven't signed up yet :naughty:. Get over HERE and sign up please :D. That way you'll all have to stay around for 3 years ;). You don't have to expect to clear it in 3 years :cool:.

  • Yes, very good quote GG. On my last year of OU and am struggling to get started as feeling a bit worn down by it as it was the last module was just so hard.

    I do like your other one too, as I firmly believe you have to be positive, even on days when you get to work, really short staffed and you know its going to be 12 hours of slog, you just have to smile and get on with it.

    I promised myself Id lose weight before Jan, (big birthday) but have failed miserably, am going to classes / gym 3-4 a week but its naughty nibbling! I now need to lose weight or buy new clothes so more incentive now! WELL DONE YOU!!

    Still got stinking cold, had two days off work :(. Must have been bad as DS and gf bought me flowers :D. Going to a meeting tomorrow, about 45 mins away, will probably go back to bed afterwards :o.

    By some standards on here, massive overpayment of £38.54 made:rotfl:. Made up of £26 Peefer the Pig, £5 Mr M's petrol voucher and the rest Daily Mirror Aldi savings :D.

    Em, apart from that, blown nose a lot, done a few surveys, ate a lot of spinach and parsnip soup (tasted better than it sounds :)), failed to pick/buy any Xmas pressies. Also managed to avoid buying a Barbour by not even ordering one in the first place and that seems to count as a success on here ;). Oh, and had about 15' lopped off beech tree (it was a VERY loud sneeze :cool:).

    Hope all well :D.

    GG.
