    And what a day I picked to go up Snowdon !!!!ing down with rain and 40mph winds not good when you are going along the South ridge route :D Still we made very good time but couldn't see anything from the top.

    Tomorrow (weather permitting) is the worlds longest zip line :D:D:cool:

    This is what I get up to when HC is not with me :)

    I have already had a 'few' of the local beers :)
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Afternoon gang
    just got my first batch of kitchen towels, all nicely hidden on the top shelf Mr T style......hubby and I had a great time as he couldn't even reach them and he's well over six foot.
    I got him the biggest bacofoil I could find and he was the batsman and I was the catcher.

    He was batting far too gently so I shouted to"hit it harder", so I could exercise at the same time!!
    Anyway I weighed myself yesterday and I was only on my fifth day and I had lost SIX pounds.
    I think this may have reduced as we built up a bit of an appetite with all that sada cricket so we went to the Harvester to rest:)
    Think I might fast tomorrow and weigh officially on tuesday to get a better picture.
    Wish I had seen the 2p list before I went as I am making up a baby bundle to take to Spain.

    i had to read this twice as i thought u and ur hubby were doing this in asda lol:o:eek::rotfl: where is the list of stuff many thanks ?

    I would also like to say Thank you so much QoC and CS for their motivation , and inspiring us all in the 5:2 club to take the challenge.
    I personally feel fresher in the morning, clearer headed and lighter , I also have never drunk so much water, or eaten so much fruit. Lots from the final reduction 20p each. I tend to keep a bottle by me even on non fast days and sip from that if I am in a need to eat something moment. I have just been refilling it from the tap, then putting in the fridge.
    Are we weighing in tomorrow?
    also please could someone explain how to do the writing at the bottom of your quote. sorry for my daftness of question.
    thank you.:)

    hope everyone has had a good weekend.

    It's a huge team effort, but thank you :)

    Your weighing day is whenever you want it to be. For now, if you started on Monday, I'd keep it at Monday, just for consistency. There's nothing stopping you from changing it though.

    To edit your sig I think you to to user cp up the top on the green line, and edit signature is on the left hand side. I think!

    Well done so far, to you and everyone else taking part, you've all done really well and I'm looking forward to finding out how much weight everyone has shifted. There are going to be some bumper losses :j:j:j

    Afternoon everyone :)
    Dipdap you make me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:@ doing hard work!
    Hope your ok?
    Hope everyone else is ok too
    Well got up to go car boot , get there and there is about 6 stalls so we didnt even pay £1 and go in, very :money: so we go to next one, its not till next week :rotfl::rotfl:, so we then continue to next one a got a few bargains, brand new with tags jumper £1 , cardigan 50 p:T:T


    Talking of car boot sales I went to my local one just down the road and there was slightly more than 6 stalls there but I didn t buy anything :(. The guy that runs them was going round and saying they didn t have to pay as it was n t a very nice day which I thought was good really. Viewers don't have to pay to go in. It s on a big field and plenty of room for everyone. He charges £5 per vehicle be it car, van, lorry etc and always has done.

    The secret is not to be too greedy and he s got it just right. Where as the big one near me at Chirk charges per size of vehicle and usually £1 for viewers. In the summer it's massive and has taken me 2 hours just to walk round before now. A lot of folk find it too much, me included Old Susie :). Gradually though folk are realising they re too dear and are coming to Bryn - Y - Grog. :D

    Susie some of them round here charge up to £12 for a van, £5 is more than enough i think, most are £1 per car to get in.

    I found a nice big receipt in Asda today but unfortunately it was all soggy because of the rain. I can't quite read all the numbers to input for the APG. A possible 999 combinations to try, is it worth the effort?

    Please can anyone help me with the Dr. Oetkber vouchers? Should my printer be set to landscape or portrait?
