    Oh, Beth, I'd quite overlooked the fact that tomorrow is your big day. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
    DG - enjoy every moment.

    Had a really lovely day, been to a 40th wedding anni and its been so nice - I didnt know anybody but the peoples whos anni it was, and everyone was so welcoming and I didnt feel left out or anything ( I am quite shy really so it was a big effort to even go) :)

    Im in bed at the moment as my TV has stopped working downstairs so I can only watch it upstairs, it must be the aerial plug thing on the end of the wire, as the TV works up here and its the same aerial. Ill have to go to get it sorted next week sometime, but Im finding it rather pleasent not having it on - I tend to switch it on for company I think, and the past couple of days I have had the radio on and been sewing, then watching catch up in bed:rotfl:

    PS I go to SW as I havent the willpower to do it alone, and for me th £5 is worth every penny, I like it because you eat everyday foods, can make stuff from scratch and eat biscuits etc if you want, but I need some incentive and £5 is incentive enough at the moment - I want my monies worth:D

    Hello all

    Bit late for me but wanted to check in before bed.

    Kazzaw, I dont go to SW but have lots of friends who do and have done very well losing and keeping weight off. Not sure what they pay but know they get payment "holidays" if they cant go and that lots of everyday cook from scratch food so not expensive to follow and quite a few tasty things that can be done in a hurry (we have get together once a month so am getting quite good at "free foods" and SW recipes).

    Beth thinking of you for tomorrow.

    JulieG cant wait to hear news of Roos arrival, DD was premature so felt overdue by time 36 weeks with DS who... and take heart... came on his due date.

    Just printed off MS calendar, now filling it with meal plans and looking forward to following tips and seeing how things go. Also just started sealed jar type thing for coming year.

    Thoughts to all.
    Thoughts to all. Mrs D.

    Evening all

    Beth - good luck for tomorrow x
    Bramble - hope your grandad gets a lovely send off x

    I've had an awesome day with the man :D We went down West Wales and just drove to random places, got out for walks/sightseeing/lunch/coffee etc. Then headed back to the town midway between us for dinner before I had to leave him go home!

    My schoolfriend colleague is staying over tonight so we had girly catch up before bed. Will be MIA probably tomorrow as am away in Bristol for staff conference, boo!

    Night all
