    Wannabefree,

    You can pop on between unpacking boxes. As long as you unpack the crockery and pans first you will be able to start saving instantly on convenience food!

    I managed to do 61 sit ups in yesterday's test so I'm moving on to week 3 of the 200 sit up programme. That makes it even more likely that I won't be able to get off the floor later. I've also got an application and some filing to do - something to look forward to.


    Oh joy.

    Morning All

    Voted Scaredy!

    Hopefully have sourced an electric wheelcahir for my daughter and at a fab price too. Her dad gave me £450 and my dad gave me £350, so that was a result. Hopefully should only take me a month to pay off my bit (although this will be after I have finished paying for my car, which should be in September).

    This week is going far too quickly. I am on annual leave and have been away for the last couple of days. I am meeting friends for lunch today which will be nice, as we won't have to rush back to work afterwards.

    Good luck with the job hunting Butti, your perseverance will pay off I am sure.

    Hope lunch was good for you Tenmah.
    I'm hoping my perseverance will pay off - don't really mind where I go or if it is a maternity cover. Thanks,

    Lovely evening. I'm watching the weather show with a glass of wine and a chocolate mousse.

    Half a pound is neither here nor there. It's basically measurement error, so don't worry in the slightest about it. Go blow your nose and it'll be gone...

    The real test is in clothes.

    That's just given me an image that's made me laugh.
