  • Hi Rising *waves*

    Yup, things have been going on here which is why I haven't been in touch about coffee, will PM you after Fat Club tonight.

    I think that this could be a positive for me - Mr F thinks I should open a craft shop :D

    *waves" back - no probs ...

    ohhhh, craft shop - I could have my tea/coffee shop in the back *sigh*

    I thought you had given up for Lent too??

    Hmm, yes, but then we had some really really stressful things going on which sort of surpassed all rational ways of "being", and in the absence of being a smoker or a big drinker, the comfort food element kicked in.

    I did also give up my credit cards for lent, though, which I have stuck with, so all is not lost - I could easily have gone comfort shopping, or binge spending during the same crises!!

    Within an hour of our jobs announcement yesterday I consumed three Daily Milk Caramel bunnies :o Totally with you on the comfort food thing ;) Hope you're ok?

    Won't mention the Quidco/Dune offer then if you're still off the plastic :A
