    Hi all!
    Great news on the holiday bunny!

    We've been to the park today and then had a bbq!
    It's been gorgeous

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Evening.. hugs to smashed for your mum, cat for your back and keren for the OH/ carpet situation - and anyone else who needs them!

    Yay to bunny on the holiday and IA on the fab weight loss and good shopping ;)

    Had a lovely day here, walked into town and bought a few bits and pieces (slippers, underwear and trousers), spent a grand total of £6 thanks to some vouchers. Back for some lunch and gardening then been out reading in local park for a few hours. Got a bit chilly out there but now I'm inside it's really stuffy! :rolleyes:

    Evening All
    Spent far too much money, but pretty sure I can juggle things around and sell some more stuff on ebay. Bought 2 lovely mahoosive terracotta pots (bogof) £18 , some salad leaves seeds, and tomatoes. Then we had lunch out £14 and went to the beach £4 parking...so its been an expensive day! Hey ho.
    So warm even though no sun. Meant to be lovely here tomorrow which is good as I have to cycle to and from work.

    Keren I hope the carpet situ works out ok, will be keeping my fingers crossed
    Bunny fab news about the holiday, you really deseve it
    Sarah, think you needed the new clothes with all that weight loss, you go girl!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...
