    Can the rabbits not go out now?

    Yes, but I am away next weekend, and Mum wasn't keen on having them outside to look after. So they will move out when I am back (bit close to end of holidays but the vaccinations were late too.)

    Hope it went well :)

    Hmmmm.

    Well

    Well.

    No.

    I have tried on EVERYTHING I OWN. My back hurts? Weird.

    I have a big bag of donations.

    I have 4 dresses that make me look like a multi-coloured doughnut. Which for some reason I am keeping - well I know the reason - one day I will be a thinner healthier doughnut and they will look good. Plus I loathe and detest clothes shopping.

    The rest of the wardrobe is ok, decent tops for work, need skirts. Out of work wardrobe iffy. 4 decent "going out dresses" but no cardies or jackets.

    When I am away I will do some shopping.

    I have made progress, room and yesterday I phoned the scary Mary tax office. And have sorted my tax code. Very nice man.

    I apparently get the over paid tax in my August pay but I will believe that when I see it.

    Lets just say we both aren't overly thrilled with our shape ;) Silhouette wise there probably isn't much between a doughnut and a potato!! And at least you are doing something about it, well impressed with the trainer and the 3.5 weight loss!

    Buffy, you are not a donut or a potato. And you might be interested in this - lots of free stuff, and the fb group is fabulous.

    I'm struggling with the donut comparison. What kind of donut? Jam filled or with a hole in the middle?
