Oh to be a consistent Target Member!!

[ginlin]

Good news today for both of you that's great news

is your consultant running classes on Christmas eve and new years eve ?

Mine is holding weigh only Groups every weekday over the two week period, with the exception of Christmas Day and New Years Day.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Thanks Jaffa & Lynne...

We are weighing in on a Tuesday morning for those two weeks... I think its real dedication that c's do that for their members.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Our class is weighing in as usual since it's Tuesday nights but I reckon we might see members from different classes which will be nice seeing new faces

 

[janetelizabeth]

We often have people from different groups weighing with us. That's the convenience about SW we can use any group as long as we take our card.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

We rarely get different people weighing in

 

[janetelizabeth]

One lady I often give a lift to is caring for her dad who lives in Kent so she's been weighing in up there for several weeks.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Well food for today wasn't good at all...

Loads of choc biscuits...just somehow got into them when I got back from weigh in...

[Jaffa Cake]

Weigh in days don't count in my book

 

[janetelizabeth]

Lol...right!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Have you weighed in yet ? I haven't I'm too cold to get out of bed

 

[janetelizabeth]

I only came down at 9.15...scales said 10.6 1/4lb so no surprises there! lol.

Forecast is rain all day but just looks damp out there, temps 5* and light rain here locally at the moment.
Joseph wants to go to Bexhill, next town, to look at a photography exhibition. And we need to get some special paint for our dining chairs. They're spindle backs and rather wore across the back of some of them. The idea is to do them up and then we need a round table with 4 chairs. We really don't have room for 6 chairs and a large table anymore. Shame as it matches the dresser...it's all limed oak and rather nice.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Scales could have been worse .

Sounds like a nice day planned. Do you have charity furniture shops or freecycle as you might be able to get what you want from there
I'm not really sure how freecycle works but if you Google it then you'll find out

 

[janetelizabeth]

Our best option would be for a charity shop to do an exchange with us...them being the winner with a larger table, 2 carvers and 4 chairs but they're not interested so we have to sell ours. Another option is to just find a nice round table and keep 4 of our chairs. Maybe we can trawl the charity shops in Bexhill today.
Thanks, I've checked out the freecyle but didn't see anything really.
I saw a really nice set in the Heart Foundation shop but Joseph didn't like it at all...there's the rub, suiting us both!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Fingers crossed you see something you both like later

I do love a good charity shop trawl

 

[janetelizabeth]

I agree, the shops used to be full of tat but these days it can be big money because they clean the stuff up and even do repairs before the sell them on. We got a nice nest of wood & tiled tables and everybody thought they were new. Cost £35 though.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

That is pricey for a charity shop but I do think prices have gone up as they realise how much people ate prepared to pay.
It isn't always the cheapest option

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I hope you had a good day out.

Mine was a bit frustrating as Claire's Accessories had run out of gift cards so I have to go back again.
Luckily Sports Direct had theirs and I was able to pick up football socks so it wasn't a total waste

 

[janetelizabeth]

Glad you got some of your gift cards...I suppose everyone else wanted them too.

I agree the prices do seem quite high and I also think it depends on the town...more high class clientele...the more £££; not that my town is high class at all!!
Well the happenings of today I hope will turn out alright in the end.
By the time it got to 11.30 this morning and we'd had no breakfast I decided to make us a cooked brunch so we wouldn't be hungry later.
After that we walked to the new Aldi and perused for a while... went home with the things we'd bought and then got the car out to go to Bexhill. By this time it was 3pm...
We walked around but didn't see any furniture charity shops but did find a second hand shop open. We were talking to the lady and the owner came in and asked if we'd seen the round table and chairs in his shop next door. He took us to view them. It was a pedestal table and 4 chairs which Joseph can strip back and restore to match our dresser. We told him about ours and I said I'd email a pic and then maybe we could do a deal. He's asking £95 for his so we'll have to see what he offers for ours. So just have to wait and hear from him now... Even so his price is good but we don't want to be stuck with 2 tables and 10 chairs!!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Fingers crossed he gives you a good deal

Did you get anything nice from Aldi ?

 

[janetelizabeth]

Some chocolate and feta cheese, flat mushrooms and a box frozen raspberries. The rest were some staple goods that I need to fill a box for some local needy families.
