KC....We have every supermarket going here except Waitrose and I have a Aldi and Lidl 5 mins walk away from the house.I tend to use Aldi most of the time and find them to be better quality and cheaper than the others.

Wow! I'm better served now than I was in my last house, but its still almost 25 minutes walk to Sainsbo and 15 to Iceland! Thats amazing! Mind you, I have to get the train to another town on Saturday - I'm hopping in early to get some tulip bulbs, love 'em to bits, and I can stop off on the way home to get to a Lidl. No Aldi in that town either Never mind, I'll survive.

Can't believe it's been 5 days since I last posted...no idea why not either as I haven't particularly been busy but have been out and about a lot.

Have had a productive morning so far today as I've

Washed the pots
Done washing and drying
hoovered downstairs
cooked a roast dinner ready for lunch time when DH gets home

I need to go to bank later to pay in takings and whilst there will pay £380 off the 0% card...the total owing on that at the moment is £3470.00.I used it to buy the new furniture for here.That reminds me I need to make a phone call to see if we have a delivery date yet for the dining furniture as I need to get the room ready. The sofas are on 12 week delivery schedule so will be a good while yet.

DD1 moved into a much nicer new place the other day so am happy about that.

Good Morning all my lovelies x

Where to start..mmmm

Firstly,dining room furniture will be delivered next wednesday..but as usual this is not without an hiccup as when speaking to the delivery people I discovered that when Harveys did the order they only ordered one pair of chairs instead of 2 pairs cue major panic on my part...resulting in me having to go to the store yesterday where the sales assistant admitted it was her fault and has now ordered them.I was impressed with the fact that she didn't charge me for them as it was her mistake and as she said we'd agreed on a price for all the furniture.
I hadn't noticed on the order form as the way they are written makes the form hard to understand...I don't actually know yet when or how these chairs will be delivered until she phones me back.They may be couriered overnight or may be put on the van if delivered in time..so we'll have to wait and see on that one.

Secondly..lost 2lbs this week at WWs bringing me back up to 56lbs lost..just 2lb more and I'll be back to where I was weeks ago..lol

Thirdly....operation confidence boost begins today...I have been umming and ahhing for ages as to whether to go to the WWs christmas do or not which is next friday...(I have had my ticket for months) but have lost all confidence since getting the cancer last year.

So I have decided that I am going to go and I'm going to look as good as I can as I am worth it so operation fabulous begins today

Step 1... 10 am....hair cut and coloured and will book an appointment for next fri to have it washed and bow dried too
Step 2....2.30pm...eyeb brow,chin and lip wax...will have a look at price of facials whilst there and maybe book one for next week as I fancy one

Step 3...am going to use all my fabby..love the mac foundation and the clinique moisturiser... cosmetics that I got last year from the look good feel better people and start putting my make up on every day ..am hoping this gives me a confidence boost


Step 4...am going to buy myself a fab outfit for christmas do

It's not going to be very MSE but you only live once and I have £500 saved in my pocket money purse and I've come to the conclusion that I am worth it.
