Apparently the insurance people will only cover it if we take it to their chosen garage. Boo.
Ha ha ha....yeah, it's because I'm ace they all want my opinion. Or it's because they are yr 9 taking their options and I teach science, which most top set kids will take. Ha ha haReduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25

Well that sucks. Apparently the windscreen can't be fixed as it was a chip that was already in it when we bought it that had been filled and polished so you can't see it.
Hmmm....not sure I'm all that happy with that. But I've told OH to ring the place we got it from and see what happened.

Right we've spent the evening doing our Wii fit training (which we haven't been doing...oophs) and it turns out I've lost 5lbs. This sounds really good until you think now I'm back down to 7st 12. Doh! I'm desperate to get over 8 st and stay there! I've been trying for yrs and it's just to hard.
Everyone says about how lucky I am. But when the weight drops off my blood pressure goes with it and I have fainting spells. I also lose any ability to regulate my own body temp. I know it's only 5lbs, but I bloody need them.
I've not been eating less and I've certainly not been exercising loads (oophs). I've not even been stressed or anything. Grrr... It does my head it. And it drives me mad when people go on about how I need feeding up!! Grrr. I eat the same as my OH most of the time, same size portions and evreything. I don't have the same size breakfasts as him though, he eats half a bloody loaf of toast!!! I might be exaggerating that.

For about 30yrs I was not able to "put on" weight even though I ate like a horse; even as a student food came before alcohol and still not much changed. I could shed it rapidly when ill then slowly recover to under-weight.
That all changed as I hit 40 so now I need to watch my waistline a bit (mainly beer related) but at least I can still control it - did a week in the USA and weight only changed by 1lb. I did skip lunch a couple of days as there was insufficient time between meetings though.
Don't worry over it, just keep to a balanced diet.0 -
I'm not worried about it, it's just I worked hard getting that extra weight only to have it do one on me! I'll just have to bulk up on my food rations.
I've only just got in from school thanks to the bloody yr 11s and their inability to get coursework in on time. Boo! Speaking of which I need to hurry up and plan their lesson for tomorrow. Ha haReduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25
