Fudge_Cake - Sorry to hear things are tough for you too

Weight loss going very badly, lost 5lb two weeks ago, got all motivated etc only to go in the following week and be told the scales were set up wrong and I'd only lost 3lb, oh and I'd put on 3.5 this week. Really finding it difficult to be arsed eating wise so trying to keep going exercise wise instead

:eek: Theres only me here but i wash more than once a week. Three washes on friday. How often do you change your bedding and wash your towels ? Hate to ask how often your clothes get washed Or shouldn't i ask :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:;)

PMSL! It's only me here and I probably do about 5-6 loads a week, mind you I use the timesaver thing and do shorter washes as I don't like to wash clothes with towels, towels with bedding etc. In all honesty washing clothes and putting them on the line is the one chore I enjoy so I probably wash stuff more than is necessary :rotfl:

That is so sweet FK, what a lovely image :A and it must have worked coz I had a really good night's sleep


After an hour and a half, he told me to get off home as he would just be sleeping, and he has asked me to tell friends not to visit when he is a drowsy as this. I got some booklets about Macmillan support as well as one about Chemo - it makes me feel better to have information about what he/I/we are facing - knowledge comforts me

. It is the telling people that nearly breaks down the wall though, that is tough

Keeping you all informed helps me, by writing it down, and all the advice and support I recieve is so much appreciated, so I hope you don't mind or think that it is cluttering up the thread

Going to do a bit of catching up now

3dogs, sending you big hugs. I can testify that Macmillan were absolutely brilliant when my mum had terminal cancer, the lovely nurse who went in to look after her several times a day just gave her so much confidence and reassurance, and really became a true friend to her and my dad on this stage of her journey.

I am so glad you had a good sleep. If that should be a problem at any stage, get yourself some melatonin, or send me a pm. If we can sleep, we can cope with so much.

Of course you are not cluttering up the thread. The whole wonder and delight of this thread is that, although we all sit here anonymous behind our screens and our avatars, we open up our life experiences to each other and we become like a little community or a cyber family. Posts like yours are at the very heart of what we are together.

Night night 3dogs, and here's hoping for a decent day tomorrow. x

I just ate my whole bubbly bar ... it was yummy!

The SA just loved me today after holding up the queue using 17 coupons :j I then asked to pay separately for the bubbly and bought that with my coupon too lol! I am past caring if people tut at me...I am proud to pay for my stuff with paper I printed myself it's better than spending cash like they are! BTW that Pomegranate fairy smells lurvely!

I am quite relieved it's the end of the £5 off £40, it's too much like hard work especially when something you want is out of stock:mad: then it messes it all up.

Great sleigh bed HC, though I am wondering how someone so tall fits in a double sleigh bed, is it long enough? Maybe I sleep funny but I'm only 5'7" and sometimes my feet are off the bottom of the bed :rotfl:

Iron?:eek: what's that?:eek:

I've got two duvet covers, 3 or 4 sheets and 2 if not 3 sets of pillow cases.

I never have managed to work out why people are so obsessed with ironing, I iron (literally) only for weddings, funerals, christenings and job interviews, apart from that you can forget it!

Sure!;) One is Post It Z-Notes sel of 50p with a star, thought might be cheaper but £4!!! But I found them in a store later sel of 50p and scanned at 50p too:( so I didn't buy them!It's amazing the price differences between nearby stores.

The other one - it's something I get and send to my Nan as a pressie whenever I find it and she loves it so I'm not going to put it on here (lurkers) but I will tell any regular posters who PM me!;)

Finally caught up...

Well what a day...

Woken up by lizards..

Went straight out to my local T's but after going there ended up across town to the extra.

Whilst on my way back from the Extra I got a text from Carphone Warehouse to say I was now eligible for an upgrade. I thought as I was passing the store I would pop in and see if the manager I know well was in. He wasn't so I spoke to some spotty little oik, who although, agreed I'd been with them a lot of years he couldn't get anywhere near what I wanted (Free iPhone 4S, 18 months, no increase in line rental) they would give me £240.05 for my iPhone 4 which meant I would pay X amount for the phone but only get £70 back. I said I'd leave it and asked if the manager could give me a call when he was next in. I was only home for an hour and he called me so I popped down. I told him what I wanted and that I'd been with CPW for a long time and he scratched his head, made a couple of calls and came back and said I could have the 4S for free, on an 18 month contract for a slight increase (£2) in the monthly line rental and they would still give me £240.05 for my iPhone 4. So a cracking deal all in. The iPhone 5 is due this year and that's what I would ideally like but the 4S will be worth more to trade in when the time comes than my iPhone 4 would have been so it made perfect sense in the long run too.:beer:

My mattress was only £100 delivered from the bed shed and it's actually really comfortable. It's a bit !!!!!!ed down the middle but I call it my body groove, a bit like Homer Simpsons @rse groove on his chair.:beer::beer:
