  • I've lost 2lbs at Slimming world, bringing me to 7lbs in 3 weeks! :D

    I had no internet till now!

    It went off on Saturday.

    Trouble was, the tech support wasn't there. So when I go home at 2 today I caled them.

    Man was Very Helpful to me. He didn't even snigger when I couldn't find the File button thing.


    Nor did he snigger when it was discovered there was a loose wire in the connection. :o

    Babies grow up so quickly! Mine are 5 & 8 & I don;t know where the time has gone!

    £700 cat - that's a good bump on the floor as you fell off the wagon!!! Did you get anything nice?

    Oh yes - I wondered why my derriere was a little bruised - a couple of suitcases and a vanity case I'd ordered aren't coming now (well unless the sales woman gets an identical order - so that'll be £450 coming back to me). To be absolutely fair these cases are VERY VERY pretty and I adore them but pretty comes at a hefty cost. Pre MSE I'd have decided to spend it again BUT I'm looking at buying some hard (samsonite-esque) suitcases, acrylic paint and varnish and designing my own suitcase pattern (if ever you've left an airport with someone else's suitcase you'll know why I wanna own an individual suitcase or personalise my own). Daisies and poppies are the idea for the time being!

    Of course getting a refund now means that I no longer have that 'thrill of the chase' feeling!
