  • I don't blame you for keeping the heating on at night if it's -10 :eek:.

    I hope you sleep better tonight. I also hope the PPI claim comes up trumps for you.

    Don't feel bad for snapping at DH as you are only human after all and you have to cope with so much.

  • The snow arrived overnight, though it’s nowhere near as bad as some places - yet!!

    First weigh in back at chub club and I’ve lost 5.5lbs :j. DH lost 2.5lbs and is disappointed, but to be fair he hardly has anything to lose and I’m a munter.

    Cashed out another £3 Amaz0n voucher on Sw@gbucks, which is £11 in the last month. Hopefully I can build this as a pot that can be spent next Christmas and make things a bit easier then Xx

  • Well done on the weight loss :T but sorry about the snow :(. Our snow has melted now, it was a 24 hour wonder. :rotfl:

  • A bit more snow has provided fun for the DSs out in the garden/local park with their friends. Love free exercise :T.

    Today should be another NSD. No plans for the rest of the day except ironing and housework. Limping along towards more money foming in next week Xx

    You are definitely not a munter Lucky. You're so unkind to yourself and you don't need to be. You should be as kind to yourself as you are to other people :).
