No change in my weight this week, still pleased cos I've done very little exercise this week and not put on.
Had to pay my electric bill today, no-one has come round to read the meter for the last 5 bills, so for a year and quarter I've been paying an under-estimated bill. My accurate bill is £222.92 :eek: it went down to £90.82 to pay after taking off my monthly £24 payment.
If this bill had come a year ago I would have probably have burst into tears or something, but I just shouted 'WHAT!' and laughed and paid up. And I've still got money to over-pay my credit card

We used to have a dog called shadow, i miss him....You will have to post piccies of her eating her stocking:rotfl:Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -

hahahahaha that is so shadowesk! Yeah since if hers was under the tree it would not be there long. It would be sniffed, unwrapped and eaten in the time it took you to bat your eyelids.
oh and also...I lied to you...it was 12, not 11 penguins the other day. I missed a beak. Sorry.:o
Also look at the new sig of only two 0's at the end of the number towards what you now owe:T. OMG I wish I could go back in time to say to about june last year and go.....raphael, for xmas 2008 you will only have 1 credit card which you will only owe £800 on and it wont be with Abbey!0
