    Never got round to the finances, just ran out of time, will do tomorrow when I get a minute at work, hardly got any money so it won't take long :rotfl:

    SSG - the sun creams are still in date and haven't been opened so will be ok although will still have to get Mr SA spray sun lotion though as he can't be bothered to rub sun cream in. Not that he's out in the sun much, he's usually either asleep, watching TV or shopping for man bags.

    I think it's only about 9 weeks now until we go :)

    I'd only just got out of the bath about 30 minutes ago when Mr SA sat down at the table waiting for his dinner. Told him he'd have a long wait it's not even in the oven. He knows we eat at 7.30, he even has an alarm set on his watch so he can hassle me if I'm running late.

    Anyway back to work for a rest tomorrow!

  • You've been very busy and industrious, unlike Mr SA :mad:.

    I had to laugh at Mr SA's boxing joke :rotfl:. I hope he got out of bed eventually!

    He got out of bed to get himself a beer to watch Star Wars with downstairs. It’s all go :)

    I’ve put my WW points up to maintenance even though I’d like to lose another 4.5lb before holiday. Will have a couple of weeks maintaining then take it from there.

  • Hi SA

    Just wanted to pop in to say hi, I have been a avid reader of your diary since your first one. I think you are just brilliant and have so much admiration for you. You could give wonder women a run for her money that's for sure.

    Hope you had a nice day
