    surely the adult response is I can't "make" anyone feel anything, those are your issues. My issues are about being judged . Tomorrow I will get up at 6 and post with pride! :rotfl:

    Josie please tell your lovely ma thank you :A (and thanks to you too!) Am going to just keep it and see where it leads me, hardly seems worth the effort driving an hour each way to return it for £10.50 and it does so so its my starter machine :D

    nsd - I won't have time once I've done all my running around tonight

    Hi everyone

    Just stopping by quickly, trying to talk myself into a quick bike ride but it's raining...

    Today I've:
    Checked banks
    About to check CCs
    Checked TCB - nada :(
    Checked Ebay - woop, lots of nice little watchers and up to £9.50 on one of my items (an unwanted xmas pressie, trying really hard not to feel guilty!)
    Printed off info for training course tomorrow
    Food from stores
    Updated calorie tracker
    NSD I think apart from below which doesn't count
    Bought something for work on CC - will get clubcard points in return and will claim petty cash when it comes
    Car shared to work

    Think that's it! Will get postcode etc sorted for tomorrow's training course in a mo, empty out car of various bits (have to take a colleague!) and sort out notebook, then early night ready for my 5am wake up call!

    Have a great evening all!

  • Day off today.

    Got up at 7 to wake teenage daughter up to go to college so thought I'd make an early start on the surveys and competitions.

    Went to visit my caravan to make sure there was no winter damage - there wasn't.

    Visited a discount shop on the way home but didn't see anything I wanted or needed.

    Did rest of surveys and comps.

    Value sausages for tea - yuk, they were horrible.

    Had heating on low.
