At least I didn't know the name of it...:p

I must admit, I spelt it wrong when I first googled it.

Am I the only one who is staggered that there is still a market for the stuff - well, other than for Banwa's step-kids that is!

Some people like their bottom spanked...

I personally, choose Andrex... (it was on special)

Been, your husband leaves the fridge door open too? I would be swinging

- if you squeeze the loo roll - you know to make it not so round so that when you pull the loo roll you'll only pull 1 or 2 sheets forward as it won't roll so easily? I actually thought this was a genius idea and hope its of help

I tried that. They just squeeze it back into shape:cool:

Hello everyone and a belated Happy New Year


Good Things since I last posted:j

• Been to 2 social gatherings and had a wonderful time without breaking the bank.
• The post-Christmas cleanup is all out of the way
• Feeling quite optimistic about getting healthy

Bad Things since I last posted:exclamati

• Mr B only got paid £100 instead of £400, we're not sure why yet
• Feeling a bit down-hearted about the slowness in debt repayment. I am the sort of person who needs to see results to stay motivated. I knew that decemeber would be slow, but now with the car repairs, January will be slow too. Especially if we are missing £300.

Spends
Clearance Christmas items at B&Q £3.80 (including a 6ft tree!)
Wire cutter £2.50
£30 petrol

I've been talking for years and years about doing a triathlon and wondering if this year I should actually do it. I am so unfit now but maybe if I entered one it would give me the motivation to get fit. I will be rubbish but if I just completed one it would be a huge acheivement for me.

That said, I only got on a bike for the first time in 16 years last summer and I was so slow that even old men with beards on shopper bikes could overtake me:D

That'll do for now

Sounds like a fantastic challenge Banwa . It would be a huge achievement, but you seem to be a determined lady, so I'd say go for it! :T *easy for me to say *

Doing a triathlon would be such an achievement, I'd be so jealous. I would like to do one myself but keep making excuses - too unfit, cannot swin very well, no-one to train with! Not enough time, etc

I wish you well in achieveing sp? your goals.

Loads of training to do for a triathalon but you can do it! I get too bored running to go any sort of distance running training - desperately need to get back into come classes though.

debtfreewannabe321

oh wow that would be an achievement for sure! And get you healthy at the same time i say go for it (again easy for me to say though, :rotfl: ) !!

I hope you manage to get your missing £300 back!

Been, 666, Scarlet and DFW, thanks for the encouragement:A, you have got me all excited. Have eaten mainly salad today. And I have just ordered a tri suit!

So you need to keep me motivated in order to get at least £43 worth :rotfl:
