    Hi folks,

    Late post today, dont know where today has gone!

    A$da this morning, followed by WW. Lost another 1.5 today, so thats 32.5 off. I have only another 1.5 to go to goal, so I am really going for it this week. It will be fantastic to reach it by the end of Jan.

    Also had another couple of bits of good news - work called today to tell me I was getting an annual bonus as a thanks for all my hard work and flexibility. I was gobsmacked given the recent history there! We were told a few weeks ago not to expect any bonus or payrise this year, so I had kinda written it off! I am rather delighted as its into 4 figures!:j
    Then I got a cheque from Y0D€L for the full amount to replace our shed that one of their guys damaged when delivering a parcel. He broke the door in an effort to leave it and the damage was so bad it couldnt be repaired. I expected a big fight with them for compensation, but they have been the epitomy of courtesy and coughed up no problem.

    Finally, I got #10 NSD yesterday so its been a great day!:j


    you will always be rich enough to be generous.

    OK - here's why I don't organise anything :o

    Was looking at January on my Outlook and not Feb!:rotfl:

    Saturday dates in Feb are ....... 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th!

    Can everyone else make either the 18th or 25th? ETA - or the 4th?

    Any preference?


    Rising - I will struggle for Saturdays as it's the only time OH & I have to attend to "stuff"

    My days off are Thurs or Fri - but if Sats suit the majority, go for it and I will see what I can manage. I know you are working so its not easy to fit in.

    Sorry weekdays are out for me due to being too far away to make it feasible with work .....

    I could poss do a Sunday ..... dates are (have double checked;)) - 5th, 12th, 19th or 26th - any good for everyone?
