    You can confess whatever you like here Piq, we don't mind !

    I ate like a horse yesterday, I am blaming it on the sunshine . :DPorridge for brekkie with maple syrup, a choccie cookie, three flapjacks, salad for lunch , bag of chicken crisps, bag of salt and vinegar crisps, leftover chilli with rice and sour cream for dinner, two glasses of wine, far too many cups of coffee and four glasses of water. I was still hunting the cupboards for more chocolate but couldnt find any much to my disgust. Then I had the audacity to moan that I looked fat !! :o Oh and I have just remembered a Fab Ice Lolly ! I am so glad I have forgotten my My F*t password ! xx

    I tried to be good yesterday, jsut a salad for lunch and then a BBQ at dinner times but I didnt eat too much. :o

    Not had much time to read diaries or update the last few days so heres a quick rundown :-

    Mr PGs car been in the garage for three days for new injectors. They cant get the old injectors off and until they d it is in there indefinitely. We are back down to one car and its proving a hassle already. Goodness knows how much this will cost. The bill was up to £170 at about 3pm yesterday. :(

    My car has decided it wont change gear in Automatic anymore , intermittently that is ! We have a Tiptronic gear box allowing us to change manually thankfully but its another worry. It does have a shiny new windscreen at last though.

    Letter to CCS and THEM has gone. :D

    Work very slow :(

    Fences painted along with myself, I ended up a lovely shade of Medium Oak ! :rotfl:

    DD1's Science GCSEs are all over, thank goodness. MOCKs for the rest of the subjects start next week. Lord help me !! :eek:

    Thats my rushed update

    Must dash xxx

    And the new nail varnish, I painted the fence bare foot, so I now have red toenails with beautiful medium oak speckles on them ! Very trendy I think ! x :D

    Oh Holy Moly,

    One car stuck in the garage, now the other has decided to stay permanently in second gear and will not accelerate above that. Just limped it home and is just about to be limped to the garage.

    Currently we have no vehicles to our name. As we have no work tomorrow or over the weekend and the sun is shining we had planned to escape to Suffolk with the tent for a couple of days. Something tells me we wont make it after all. Ho Hum !! xx
