    Sending positive vibes, Squigs :grouphug:
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    Weight loss 3 stone :D

    Oh, the pound is now 1.201 euros. It was 1.213 early Monday evening when I checked. I believe that 1.17 is the point at which the UK goes from being the fifth largest economy in the world to the sixth. I shall be watching and, of course, posting the very second I find it is. It's my new special interest - I'm just finding the fallout and events fascinating and interesting to watch:o - but, actually, I've not been posting as not wishing to go on and on about it but really it is one of the most important (if not the most important) things to affect money-saving and should be one of the things that we are all interested in. If fuel prices rise (they have not done yet but I suspect 2p a litre will go on them sometime this week - although maybe the supermarkets have been overpriced and charging more than they 'should' so may be able to keep them at the same level for a little longer) and if food prices go up due to the increased cost of imports (a weaker pound etc.) - which won't happen immediately but I expect will happen over time - and we import a sizeable proportion of our food - then it will affect us all. Of course I am scaremongering am I not? Of course there will always be 'special offers' and loss leaders, of which we can take advantage, and may be other comparisons/glitches etc., that will be around and still available even if some prices may over time generally rise.

    Ok folks, I am in need of some postive vibes and fingers crossing!

    I had a test for a certain illness last week and today I have been asked to go back for some urgent blood tests tomorrow.

    It is the same illness that FC has.:(:(

    Something odd is happening, your first post the same as this one has gone, and it has posted again Squigs? :(
    Poltergeists?

    Don't panic DM, there aren't any poltergeists!!:eek:
    I deleted the first one because I thought I had made a mistake and then reposted it, when I knew I hadn't!
