    Sounds like a brilliant day was had by all WW! :)

    I like to know what to expect regarding new things. That's why I'm quizzing you! :rotfl: It's nice to hear about it from someone who's done it.

    Lol at the tutu's! It's funny you should mention that as I was going to suggest to my uncle that we wear one (I must have saw it on a colour run video or something), he would as well, as he loves dressing up whenever he gets the chance! :rotfl:

    Your last sentence about how it's important to be mindful, is so so true. I'm a good stone 1/2 to 2 stone heavy than I should be, and I had the same thinking as you've mentioned. Ive started to cut out a lot of snacks, eat healthier and am trying to get in some training, but it's a case of too little to late, there's only just under 3 weeks left.

    Morning my Lovelies,

    Been awake since about 4am :eek::mad:

    Hope everyone is well. And hugs and handshakes and duvet forts as needed. And thinking about all who are MIA at the moment.

    Got my first meeting with one of the guys I have been chatting to.

    Got three of them now LOL!!!! And seems all three want to meet me!!!

    At one stage could not even get one and now I have my pick of three. Suppose it gives me a choice.

    Any way everyone take care.

    Yours

    calley

    Interesting reading about colour runs! I was walking nearby on Saturday, and spotted two guys covered in purple! I was so surprised I stopped and asked them if they were blackcurrants, thinking they might be part of an advertising thing for Ribena, or similar! They explained about the colour run! I'd never heard of it before! What fun!

    Doesn't the powder get in your eyes though? What about when you get back in your car? Doesn't it get all over the seats?



    Flybaby! I introduced some friends to squishing last night! :rotfl:

    Pyx - ((squish)) you are a squisher!!!


    Generally having a really crap week........**sigh**............trying to hold out hoping I will feel more human soon, but quite frankly I don't want to do anything and want to be left well alone, so am getting snappier and snappier with mother and DH and thus feeling crappier and crappier about being a !!!!! to them. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh

    I was wasting time on Etsy yesterday and found this shop, thought you might like the smiley food WaS! :)

    Take a deep breath and have a squish Flybaby! Crap weeks happen to us all, try to enjoy the weekend and put it behind you. :)

    Hope the meet/date goes well Calley!

    Good luck at work today Katy. Take no rubbish from your useless boss. Do NOT do anything that may harm your baby, his issues are HIS issues to deal with, not yours. I like to say 'Above my pay grade' when people expect me to deal with things beyond my control at work! :p

    Well, they give you a pair of sunglasses in the goodie bag you get given. I'm going down on Saturday (you can pre-register) to the Hospice at Home charity shop to collect them. You get them, a white t-shirt and a few other bits and bobs. :)

    You've just given me a really good idea though! I'm taking squeaky, (the 4x4 so named because it is sooooo noisy and squeaky) into the garage to finally get the work done on it, and then it shouldn't squeak anymore! The mechanic is a friend of ours and I think I'll ask him if I can have a couple of those seat covers they put on cars when they're working on them!

    Go Calley with all the dates lined up! Good luck for today's date! :beer:

    Sorry you're having a crap week flybaby :( Hope you're feeling abit brighter soon x x

    Birdie, love those smiley food toys! So cute! :)

    Katy, hope today is a better day at work and your boss is more understanding. :)

    Moo - I so hope that is YOUR dog howling to annoy them instead of theirs howling to annoy you.


    Thanks for kind words peeps. I finally plucked up the courage to do my credit checks again and.......BIG SIGH OF RELIEF............ they are all clear of any kind of identify fraud. Long story, big problem with blood family trying to use my name etc...........but todays checks, which I have been putting off, are all now completely clear and just show me and DH and our average life of credit cards, bank accounts and mortgage **gulp - who wants to see that number**


    Ok... I am heading to the kitchen to tackle the washing up pile........ I may be some time
