Glad to hear your audit went well Sarah, sorry to hear you sound so rotten though, are you dosing yourself up? Super well done on your NSV, that's absolutely brilliant... and I am sure that those tops will fit perfectly at Christmas...maybe you just need a bit of toning in that area, not actual weight loss?
I had an exciting run in with gushing water yesterday. I was out front of the house with my poop-a-scoop, picking up some pooh, it was a little breezy so I could hear the leaves that are still on the trees rustling, but the longer I was out there, I convinced myself that I could hear water running, so walked to the side of the house and looked over the fence.
Sure enough, there was water, gushing upwards like a guezer (sp)? right next to the house, the ground was all flooded and my first thought was oh sh**, my basement must be flooding as the windows are at ground level and not exactly fitted well and that's where the water was.
I ran around the house and into the water, it was about five inches deep at that point and bloody cold, and saw there was two valves attached so getting soaked, I reached in the gusher and urned and the water slowed and stoppped...very ingenious for me you know, usually I swear a lot, haven't a clue what to do and phone Dave in a panic....
Then when I looked at this pipe, I saw that there were cap looking things in the water, floating around the garden, so picked them out and figured they mgiht go on the top. They did, but I couldn't clip them back on, so left them.
Then thought to go down and see if there was any damage downstairs, thankfully not...don't know how not, but I'm thankful for small miracles.
Dave came home later and looked, the cap thingies, had actually snapped on their clippy bits... so couldn't be fixed back on, so a plumber was called... of course all this water gushing out, emptied the well... so no water, no cooking, no flushing the loo....always lovely. So I ate chinese for dinner last night and feel it this morning... all bloaty and horrible
So the plumber is coming back out today, so he can see what he's doing, to fix the thing (it was dark when he came last night) , we do have running water again as the well has filled back up, and I have to take dave to RI airport which is about an hours drive away, so as he can go to AZ and get J. They'll be starting their drive across country tommorrow after J's final test for graduation.
Right, I'd better get on, not so cold out today but tomorrow is not supposed to be nice at all... very cold...out come the doggy coats for my furry friends and walking...
Must find some! We're a bit fruit-caked out though - just chopped up the last of the wedding cake and given most of the 12" square base to the 'rents! We decided not to keep any since DH doesn't really like it, and I like it too much and it's too high in calories, so out it goes! 
weddings. CONGRATULATIONS Kylie! 
Poor woman, I was completely full of cold - runny nose, headache, achey bones - the lot - and she was stuck in my small (cosy) office with me with a couple of visits in to the unheated garage/store room - she's bound to have caught it.
who is always politely rude about some aspect of my weight. 
She always does it in such a way as to sound like she's worried about me but we both know its nothing of the sort.
