    Off topic question but I know a few people on here have tried weight watchers on-line (with the quidco), did it work for you? I need to shake up my routine again and I can't exercise.

    Firstly, Happy Birthday Hex!

    Secondly, I did WW online in 2003, lost almost 3st in around 6 months and was very pleased with it. So, I'd say give it a go!

    I've been pretty busy since I woke up at 4.30 - what with DS fidgeting, DD needing her bed sorting (wet night), and OH not sleeping well, I decided to get up...

    So far, I've done:

    WM X 3 and out on the line. There's a funny yellow thing in the sky...
    DW unloaded, reloaded and run (ready for unloading again, I expect)
    BM X 1
    Changed sheets on mine and DDs bed
    Taken car to garage for service and MOT (1hr round trip)
    Cleared kitchen
    Sorted paperwork out ready for shred/filing

    And I've still got the following to do:

    Collect car - when/if it's ready
    Trip to Tesco, DD spend her money
    Clear fridge out for delivery tomorrow
    Give the place a quick spruce as my parents are visiting tomorrow
    Clear the hallway so that they can bring my new fridge in!

    And I think that's it!
    Have a good day
    Take care

    Bike now decluttered to the bike shop and should be ready tomorrow, DS'1 bike is to go in tomorrow but can be fixed when we're there. I plan on kicking them all out at the weekend. :D

    The boys managed to pull there curtain pole down last night and take a big lump of plaster out of the wall, so now they have no curtains and they don't have a blind because they broke it ages ago. :mad:

    Tyres been sorted this morning and i'm grabbing lunch now and then attack the livingroom. It shouldn't take too long and i'll make hubby help.

    Thanks MrsChaos for the boot up the behind yesterday, hubby ended up doing all his jobs. :rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
