I know what you mean. Ive been te same forever, hence the nicknames at school!

Ive only been over 8 stone 3 times, when pregnant! Can never find clothes that fit well.

I used to be able to say that, was 3 times for me too. I dreaded the day I hit 9st but now well I look pregnant and I just don't have anywhere to hide anymore weight. Just like my stashes. :rotfl:

OMG OMG morning everyone
Shaking here with disbelief, dunno if anyone remembers me mentioning a mystery ssa payment into my bank account.....well just off the phone with them and it seems theres been an error in my Carers allowance payments for 6 YEARS and they just back paid me:eek::eek:
So a couple more phonecalls and I will be debt free for the first time in my adult life!!!! And still have some left over......so drinks on me in HCs bar tonight

Fantastic news sharon. Just a thought on the 6 years, banks legally only have to keep records for 6 years, I've no idea about anywhere else. Your payments might only have been checked for the last 6 years, if they go back further they might owe you more money and you'd be debt free in less than 9 months. Could be worth a call to get confirmation that they are absolutlely certain payments from over 6 years ago are correct.

To all you folks who use slow cookers..........

How do you reheat what's left?

After reading all the posts about delicious meals made in slow cookers, I dug mine out from the back of a cupboardyesterday. I cooked some pork steaks (whoopsied on Christmas Eve and frozen) with some veg and chopped tomatoes. My OH and I had half of it last night, and will have the rest tonight. Do you just bung it in a saucepan to reheat, or would you turn on the SC again. I would think that's a bit dodgy!

Thanks!:)

In a pan usually, the slow cooker takes an age to reheat food.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes....well its official, cheques posted and phone calls all made, Im officially debt free:T. It felt soooo good to phone my credit card and say "I'd like to clear my balance and close my account please" NEVER thought that was going to happen!! I've set a little aside to spend on myself (no idea what Im gonna do with it as I never buy myself anything) so checking out the sales this weekend seems in order:D. DH still has a few bills to pay but we've figured out we should be completely debt free in 9 months. Still shocked and stunned, but with a stupid big grin on my face:D
Sending good luck out there to everyone, a massive group hug to you all

Thats fantastic news Sharon :j:j

Does kind of defeat the object of a slow cooker when you have to reheat it but FK is completely correct

Im only 5 ft 3, taller when i climb the shelves in tesco! Long legs and short torso due to my spine ops and absolutely no boobies:(:(

When i eat a good meal, my belly just balloons rediculously so i look pregnant until it calms back down!
