Eri-gaga. LOVE IT. Congratulations on the weight loss - the seven you lost I think I found. Oh well, that's what new years are for are they not? To start failing at yet another new year's resolution!!
Good luck on the house cleaner thing. If you find a good one send her over.
Must meet up soon. My translation may not be coming until mid next week now. How are you for Mondays? Or this Friday come to think of it??
Well I found 4 again, which makes 11 - there must be loads of those rogue kilos around attaching themselves to bottoms.
Monday is good! Actually only Monday is good. I was going to call Jo and see if she was free.
Shall I bring spare rogue kilos (eg NZ chocolate?)
NO - bugger off rogue kilos. Are you going to see if Jo is free then and meet there?
Unless it's peppermint chocolate in which case rogue kilos are worth it.
LOL, great round-up.
I read the mail online for a few minutes everyday, makes me feel good about MY life. ;)
I can also locate some of those missing kgs.
