oh thanks for the support petal...

our AC went off in the bedrooms so we had to drag the bed into the living room and sleep there, with the cat biting my toes all night.

Unbelievable I rang the landlord and someone came out at 8pm (he had said 4pm and mrs spugsy finished work early for him) and he fixed it, crikey.

The sink is still knackered mind, I might just buy a replacement part and fix it myself, will be easier. Oh and the landlord has our DEWA receipt from when we were connected and its been 3 months easy now, so I can see how much we owe but can't get it in my name, we should really pay it eh before we get cut off?

well this is meant to be a kickstart, drop half a stone or more than back onto healthy eating, a bit of a boost to make me feel better about myself.

oh, ok...still not convinced about these things, cos you immediately put weight back on once you come off the starvation thing...but good luck anyway...
