    Ebay items have got quite a few watchers now, although that doesn't necessarily always equate to bidders. I need £50 to clear the Next account, the ebay sales from last weekend were £20 so another £30 to find. I have one item on there on a bin for £20 and 3 people are watching it, can't one just buy it ?? :cool: :) If I can make £30 from this ebay stuff then any extra can go towards the mortgage pot.

    I'll see if I can park, if not will park at the beach as it's free this time of the year isn't it?

    There's 2 geocaches along the beach, may be a bit of a walk but we'll see how far when we get there.

    Tigz I'm so sorry, yet again, about ds behaviour :(:( He's now calmed down and having talked through with him it seems he began feeling angry when Joe's younger brother was throwing sticks at him at the park. I explained that he is a lot younger etc etc, but that seems to be the trigger to start him off. He has now lost his football for a week and will not be able to call for his friend Charlie for the rest of the holidays either. I am so so sorry, it seems every time we see you ds is just horrid :( Next time I will make sure he is with my mum or come over and see you when he's with his dad or something :o

    So I've been to WW and its not good ... I haven't been for 3 weeks and in that time I have eaten everything I've wanted and been very very naughty, and have put on 4 lbs :( So I'm now back to 11 st 2lbs :eek: but this stops here. I'm seeing this as a brand new start on ww, I am about to plan tomorrows food and will stick to my points religiously. Ds has decided he wants to eat more helthily too to be like his Man Utd idols, so its fresh fruit and veg all round here, and we're upping the exercise too ;) The plan for week one is to (a) stick to my points (b) do some form of exercise every day (c) get back to my weight beginning with a 10.

    4lbs in 3 weeks after eating everything you feel like is not so bad :) Don't be too disheartened.

    I'm still blaming weather.....:rotfl:
