Hi, sorry to hear DS had another bad day at school.
Good news on the new phone with GPS :j you'll be addicted like me soon, but it's a free hobby which gets you out and about so can't be a bad thing! Did you go for a HTC phone?
Are we still giving targets for our weigh in's? I'm flagging a bit but planning to get back on track Monday, I'm not being bad, just not being as good as I can be
Fab bargain on the Boden top, I never get emails like that!!
Quick ques re GHD's, I've decided I need a pair, are they worth the money or should I get a cheaper make?"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Edmund Burke

Hi Tigz, its not an HTC its a sony ericsson experia pro s?? I'm not very techie, they all look pretty similar to me
Re. GHD's, I wouldn't have any other make personally, I am not loyal to any brands and always go for the best offers, but my GHD's and my dyson are non-negotiable, they are about the only things I would ever pay full rrp for. But then again, my hair is very thick and curly, so other straighteners just don't get the same finish, does anyone else have a view on it??
I'm really pleased about the Boden top, I was tempted to just buy a plain t-shirt for his holiday, but coulsn't resist the bus one when I saw it
Weightwise I really really do have to get my head in order somehow, I just can't get motivated still. My holiday is coming round and I need to get on with it before its too late. So yes please, keep reporting in, it might help me get my mojo back tooAnd you're doing really well so you need to be shouting about it missy
We've been to mums and cleaned the car inside and out, then I tried to help ds learn to skateboard but I think that will take some timeHe's now playing with the boy from next door, I'm having ten minutes laptop time in peace.

Another GHDs fan here too:) I love mine, they whizz through my hair, which although it's not curly, it is annoyingly bendy and quite thick - the GHDs keep it smooth and I just quickly whizz over it the next day, then wash the day after again.
Go on Tigz;)I really need to sort out a new signature!0 -
I've just been looking at my tesco clubcard vouchers, I currently have £54 of them and there really isn't anything in the rewards bit that I particularly want, so i am going to save them up towards a new tv for my bedroom, they have them on tesco direct for £115 with an inbuilt dvd player, and there's always a £10 off code floating about, so I reckon I need to get to about £100. Obviously that will take ages in clubcard vouchers so will add some normal cash to it, maybe I'll try and get that sorted over the next couple of weeks as I currently have an old portable I got from someone at work and the dvd player doesn't work.
Ds is making some fairy cakes at the moment, I'm in the kitchen with him but he is really good at it now, he does all the measuring and mixing himself, I just need to know the oven bitMortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

Having second thoughts about using my clubcard vouchers for a tv, usually in April they do their double up offer and I may use them towards a new bike for ds birthday, his current one is too small for him now and he loves riding on his bike so I know its something that will get plenty of use. Hmm, will keep ponderingMortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

Hmm, woke up stupidly early again as I had a dream I had to go to New York (I have a flying phobia) and my heart was thumping when I woke up
Never mind, I will have a mooch on here for a bit
