Morning
Thanks Dawn, Lou and Buffy :A
I'm hoping for a better day today so I can have a free evening. We were going to the cinema for a free film, but it's a bit out of the way, so we're not going to save diesel. I wasn't that fussed about it anyway.
We spent £1.43 in the supermarket last night on some bread (reduced), pate (OH wanted it for sandwiches) and mayonnaise. I had to get OH to put back half the stuff he wanted, which resulted in a slight grown-man strop! He did apologise later though.
Anyway, on with the questions - 3 done so far.

A big 'well done' to you,Emz, for plodding on with the questions even when you don't feel too good or the work is a pain:A. You're an inspiration to procrastinators like me.
By the way, how is OH's diet going? You haven't mentioned it much since he announced he would have to go on medication unless he lost a massive amount of weight straight away. Wondered whether he'd given up (and the Doc had stopped threatening him:j) as you mentioned he had a burger on the way home from a film a few nights ago and he wanted pate for his sandwiches, neither of which fit into any diet I know of;)0 -

Hi CBC
OH's diet never really got started. He got put on medication by his old doctor and we are both going to see our new doctors on Friday to get prescriptions sorted out. When we were living apart for the 2 weeks, he put on another half stone.
The problem is, he wants to lose weight, but doesn't want to do the hard bit. He has absolutely ZERO willpower and I can buy him low fat stuff and cook it for him at home, but if he wants to buy a burger at lunchtime, then he will do it and there's nothing I can do to stop him. He has to want to do it for himself.
He says he's going to join the gym when we get back from holiday. I'm hoping this new doctor will give him a kick up the backside.
Anyway, back to the questions.

Thanks Buffy and Lou
We decided not to go to the movie tonight to save diesel (it was a bit out of the way).
My niece has just loss her first milk tooth. She's really excited bless her. I wish I could get £1 just like that.

Morning
Feeling a bit rubbish today. Really tired and run down. Hope a cold isn't on its way.
Anyway, I'm still working - 27 questions done so far.
My DLA went in the bank this morning and has gone straight back out again on bills. Lucky OH is getting his expenses on Friday.
