Congratulations on the weight loss - I saw it on your signature, amazing!! I hope to see my jeans again one day! :j
Very good news on the balance transfer too - I keep getting offered a zero balance from Barclaycard but I don't have any others to transfer. I just they'd offer me 0% on the card I already have!
Also, I'm going back here, but I'm really pleased for you about the hair deal, hair can make you feel fabulous sometimes and you really deserve it after the fantastic weight loss. xxBarclaycard [STRIKE] £2770 [/STRIKE] now £2690.

Thanks everyone on all counts!!
Had a nice meal out yesterday for Grandma's birthday, but apparently it wasn't her official birthday meal because my Auntie etc were away for a wedding this weekend, so we will do it all again next week :rotfl:. I just had a jacket potato with beans so that I stay on track for a weight loss on Tuesday. They do the most awesome H-U-G-E cakes there though (think they are 2 cakes iced together, the pieces are like doorstops!) so my Mum bought 2 slices and the 8 of us shared them. I didn't have a lot but I enjoyed what I had.
Last night was super busy at work as we are so understaffed. Not fun at all. On the positive, the boys stayed at my Mum's last night (MIL still stayed with DH until I got home) so we had a nice quiet evening (what was left of it) and a lie in. I made use of the boys not being around this morning and cleared out some of their toys. The charity shop, bin and loft have all benefited from that job!
When we collected the boys at lunchtime we went straight to the cinema to see an advance screening of the new Lego Movie. I got in for free with DH's carer's card and I had another buy one get one free voucher for the lads so it wasn't too expensive. The first 20 mins or so I was a bit disappointed thinking the film wasn't as good as I thought it would be, however it turned out to be really good and I loved the message it conveyed at the end. DH was in tears!!
Feel like I'm coming down with something. Feel shivery, dizzy, sniffly, sore throat and been worried I might pass out once or twice :eek:. I've also been, shall we say, a bit less tolerant with DH as he has been rather slow this weekend. Must remember he doesn't do it to wind me up
