    Best nights sleep ever! Well other than falling off the pillow and waking with a bit of a crook in my neck, but that's not the beds fault :)

    Oh and I worked out where the extra money has gone, the two pairs of jeans that I sent back are a refund of £40, but obviously I've taken that into account in my head before they've issued the refund. Silly Kerri!

    Massive hugs to the orange one *hugs* and to anyone else that needs them *hugs*

    Sad day... found out that a school friends younger brother was killed in a bike accident this afternoon :( then I found out that a middle-school friend who I didn't really speak to in high school onwards died about 18 months ago. Such tragedies.

    Sorry to bring the thread down!

    Sorry to hear your sad news psychopathbabble.

    Feel better and *hugs* about the people you knew. It was the anniversary of one of my classmates deaths the other day. He was only 20/21 when he left us. I had a good cry when I was packing my photos from last day of school and he was in them.

    If I'm not feeling better tonight I'll try and hunt out some hayfever tablets. See if it's that starting early this year.

    Talking of diets, my cheeky mother has been on one and didnt tell anyone, shes even been wearing baggy tops to hide what shes been doing :eek:

    Well it seems shes been doing it for 5 weeks and has lost 25lbs :eek: :eek: and is now in all my old size 14 clothes :eek: shes off on holiday today and didnt want to go feeling huge and awful, she looks really good though and I assume has lost more as it was on saturday she told us about it (after she'd done a huge wardrobe clearout ;))

    Oh Psychopathbabble, I'm so sorry :A *runs full pelt at Psycho and wraps her in a big Jemma sized hug!!!!*

    :j:j:j Suzitiger is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thought we'd lost you girl, so nice to hear from you :A

    Fallen, my chest infection has come back with a vengeance and every time I cough it knocks me dizzy... There's no way I'm going home though as it will trigger the Absence Management Policy and I'll be pulled in about why I've been off twice in only a few weeks... What a load of bowllocks :mad:


    I'm so impressed with how many people are still paying off so much debt, I've got my car tax due next week (£115) then MOT, service, new brake pads and a new tyre - this is what I already know about! I'm going to get my bum into gear and do some ebaying as I have loads of things to sell (keep your mitts off Jakes-mum, I know you love looking around for anything to sell!!! :rotfl:)

    rdchick, I've really not done well on the weightloss either :o, I'm still roughly the same size as at the beginning of the year but my excuse is that I've been ill a lot. It's weird, every time I start to get into exercising I AM ILL!!! It's a conspiracy!!! I'd love to run the Preston marathon in October but there's no point as I'll only get ill or injured (before the Great North Run in 2007 I broke both feet and my casts came off 8 weeks before the race so it was a struggle to complete but did it in 2hrs 33mins...) How are you getting on with your training? xxx

    I was wondering where you had got to! Thanks for the hug :)

    My policy is the same Jemma, if you are off more than 3 times in 6 months then you get a disciplinary. If you are off, go back for one day, then are off again for the same reason that counts as 2!

    I've been eating more fruit and veg in the last 2 weeks than I have for a long time, plus exercising and I've got a full blown cold too! How does that work? It didn't help I had cameras up my nose yestesrday :rotfl:

    I need that diet! haha!

    I haven't done much running Jemma, I normally train for the Women's Challenge in London in September but it's not on this year because of the ruddy olympics! Damn it! Thought about doing Race for Life but I like to run for unusual or understated charities like Action Duchenne (which I do for my 3yo godson as he has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy)

    I have a cold too but it's just sniffles and sneezes at the mo :'( xxx
