    I have caved so many times Nat ... I take my hat off to you ... Gonna start again for real, no kids this time, honest guv I mean it .... On Monday

    I was going to do the same again, but in Feb.

    It would be a real hardship on my part, but I suppose I could scoff as many of the remaining Christmas treats as humanly possible (and probably put back on the measly few lb I did miraculously shift this month) in order to join you in earnest? (although I reserve the right to eat junk and drink medicinal guinness in Dublin during half term. Its going to be cold, I'll need feeding up) :D

    The snow has finally hit my wee sheltered spot of Scotland with a vengeance:D

    LBR has been quite a good boy on the roads, however managed to get stuck trying to get into driveway as the white stuff was soooo thick. After much shovelling (only after managing to locate shovel from the back garden underneath even thicker snow:eek:) I finally managed to get LBR in the driveway. Then my son asked if I would drive him into town...WHAT???!!!!! I swear if he hadn't shovelled up the snow, I would have taken the said spade and shovelled it right up where the sun don't shine. Kids!!!!!!!!!!

    I drove to last gym straight from work this evening, but the snow was so bad there was no one else there so I said to the girl that I would go home, so that she could get home. If the snow keeps up I might have to do Shred which would be the worst thing ever!!!!!!

    Still 6 days until payday, and I will have to be ultra creative regarding meal planning around my bag of potatoes and tub of laughing cow cheese:cool:

    I bet those old-style board people could think of all sorts of things to do with potatoes and laughing cow cheese. Jacket spud with cheese on top would be easiest, but there must be some way of doing dauphinoise-type potatoes by slicing them up and covering them in cheese and putting in the oven..... maybe????
