    Soapie - you are so brave posting pic's :) I wouldn't dare - I wouldhave Kim and Aggie banging my door down !!!

    Tash, the reason I post them is because it FORCES me to do something as I have, basically, publicly shamed myself - and need to counter the shame by a glowing 'after' pic.

    Hi guys :wave:

    Not been well so that's why I haven't been around, pulled my stomach muscles at some point last week (I do know when actually, it was on my afternoon off I spent with OH *coughs* :D ) which in turn meant it was weakened and I went and did my back in for good measure :rolleyes: oh the paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain though, I had to leave work early and haven't been back since, missed out on some dosh aswell being that if I don't go I don't get paid, never mind that's what my emergency fund is for :T On the mend now but not sure whether going to work tomorrow is a good idea, it's pretty physical lol and don't want to do any permanent damage.

    Housework (what's that) is non existent, teenies been doing odds and sods for me but seeing as I can't do anything really the place is a tip :( managed to crawl onto the floor to load the WM earlier on :rotfl: good job no-one was in, and I wont even mention what I must have looked like trying to get back up lmao :D

    well, off to read back the thread, hope everyone's well xx

    :eek::eek::eek: Ooohhh just had a real panic then.... starting to do the Hector stuff, I couldn't remember when I did my last VAT return :eek: but, checked my online bank account and fortunately I did do it at the right time - at least they took money from my account!

    Isn't age a dreadful thing - when you start to forget things you've done when?

    But, panic over, I don't need to think about VAT until towards the end of June

    Then I shall be brave and open the door of the cupboard under the stairs and maybe even take a pic of it showing my ridiculously high ironing pile and the fact it's a tip. that will, surely, prompt me to sort it out?

    I'm still scarred at the memory of the photo Pigpen posted once, of her ironing mountain! *shudders*
