I am still feeling a bit queasy and out of sorts - lucky its been a quiet few days. Will try and get out today - a bit stir crazy - thank goodness fr trashy literature and my kindle
In related news I have lost another kilo so I am now nearly half way to my next target of 200lbs
Not much to say really so will leave it there wishing everyone happy rest of summer holidays and hello Autumn2 -
