    Glad to hear the appointment went well - 19lbs is a heck of a loss!

    Definitely take life on an "as it comes" basis at the moment - why not eh!

    I know! I think its probably down to not having 2 minutes to sit down :rotfl:

    Don't want to lose anymore now though. So will consider this for next appointment. I will need new trousers soon :o :rotfl:

    Take it as it comes is the best way. I guess no one knows what tomorrow holds.

    I still have a list as long as my arm before bed time for myself though :(

    Smalls are sorted and in bed though.

    I'm not quite sure where to start :o Although I'm sure sitting on here isn't on my list :rotfl:

    14 Items listed on Ebay.

    1 Sold already £16.99 after fees and post :)

    The others all listed at 99p ending at weekend :)

    Have room for 4 more to go on. Will try to get them on in the morning before work.

    Hoping to make enough to make a small payment to the council tax and to cover groceries/school etc until payday.

    Researching carseats and a pushchair for a 3 year old. She definitely needs one with a harness rather than just a high back booster and I need a high back booster for DD (They aren't too expensive though)

    Ugh! Think I give up. They are used about 4 times a year if that! I really don't want to spend a fortune :o Not sure I trust a car seat from Ebay even if it is only used 4 times a year. Meh!

    We go away in less than 5 weeks! I need to be deciding and saving :cool:

    Would you trust a second hand one if it came from someone you knew Hidden? If so you could try asking on FB (if you use it) and see if anyone might have one even that you could borrow just when needed?

    Finally hope with a cuppa. So tired! I can't seem to shift it :o

    I'm actually so happy its 7pm :rotfl: Well near enough!

    Have done what needs doing, kids happy and fed, bathed and in bed. I am SO looking forward to joining them. Just making a brew and hot water bottle then heading of to the shower and bed.

    Chicken wraps and salad went down well. Casserole ready in the slow cooker pot (in the fridge) will put it on first thing. Today was freezing!! I thought it was a December morning when I woke up not September!

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
