That said, flyering in all the lovely cafes is a test of willpower! Especially when you have to wait ages to talk to anyone!

As Quins said, plenty of water to keep you hydrated. Hope you feel better soon xx

Thanks guys, water hasn't been my friend either. So rang my mum and tried her trick (not v SW friendly) of full sugar Coke stirred with a spoon to make it flat and then sipped. No issues so far.... 3hrs...
Going to nibble some pitta for dinner as only plain food I have :/
On another note (here comes Ruth worrying again)
We think our landlord is going to sell our flat. We live in half a house (landlord owns the lot) but it's ideal for us as it's level access, shower only, disabled etc and has a garden, middle of town etc. Our tenancy end date is 15th January 2017 (we will have lived here two years on that date) so we should hear by the end of the month. However the landlord has just had the back porch totally redone, he is coming round on Monday and Tuesday to paint the windowsills (which he didn't do last year...) and tonight he turned up in the back garden with his brother unannounced and had a go at us for not mowing the lawn for 2 weeks... given the weather recently, it's only 1" higher than normal, we are a bit gutted. I'm not sure how I feel... we haven't got enough money to just up and buy, my parents have told us (if it is being sold) to ask for first refusal- though I reckon it will be around 180k to buy.
We are desperate to buy (level access/flat/bungalow) but our council won't help us out and there's not much private out there that would suit us. Don't know what to do...

Oh Ruth that sounds like a worrying time for you, totally understandable for you to feel anxious about it.
Maybe he is just getting it prepared for winter? I suppose time will tell. Would you be able to move in with any parents if you need a bit more time to save up?
Rubbish that something disagreed with you too :-( the feeling is terrible. I will not eat chickpeas anymore after my last bout of food poisoning from them.
I have had a good Saturday, if a little exhausting. Been looking after my friends little girl; she's wonderful but you forget how much energy kids have!
Had a steak for tea and counting down til it's an acceptable time to go to bed lol x

I am hoping that my landlord is just getting it sorted for window but it is all a bit strange... we could move in with my parents I suppose but we have so much stuff, neither of us drive and we would have to pay storage costs.
I do feel a lot better this morning although yesterday was a bit of a write off- at least I went to the gym!! Glad you had a good Saturday, awww bless her how cute, yes indeed I know that feeling well of feeling exhausted after spending the day with them! Hope you enjoyed your steak!

Fingers crossed it's just getting things sorted, rather than selling! Maybe worth speaking to CAB - just to make sure that everything is above board and so that you know your rights re notice/first refusal etc

I did! We haven't had steak for ages and somehow I managed to cook it to perfection. Sunday lunch today which I am looking forward to! Lots of veggies and a healthy cooked meal are just what I need.
Had a rest day yesterday but have shredded today and am finding it a little easier than when I first started.
Is your landlord approachable? Maybe an idea to ask him X

Hi Ruth, glad you are feeling better but so sorry to hear about the housing worries. Something you don't need! Could you ask the landlord direct what his plans are? Maybe though he will want to play it close to his chest.
Bev x
Hi Bev, hope you're alright!
I'm hoping to catch him if he comes round early enough tomorrow!!! Just going to be upfront really, he is a businessman after all though, so we can only see!
Hope you're having a fab weekend!

Yes I keep convincing myself I'm just being over cautious @Torn_Tranquility
hopefully I am! Yes I think I will have to really. CAB have been brilliant with Dan and me and it's just at the end of my road! It's just a shame that we don't get more access to help with the council! Hope that things are good with you and that you're having a fab weekend

Oooo how lovely, I love a good steak! I have a fresh piece of Salmon and veggies for my tea with strawberries for after! I love healthy food it always makes you feel better. Glad that the shredding is getting easier for you! We aren't really allowed to contact our landlord, everything is done via our letting agent which is a pain! Have a lovely Sunday!

Well, a bit of an update to the house saga.
My parents (who love our flat) invited us round for coffee this morning and have said that they will buy it, rent it to us and then move into it when we have saved what we need to! They would like to live here properly when my brother moves out and they settle down. So this should now be very interesting... will keep you posted!
Going out for a long walk tonight (OH is going out with his mates to play Xbox....) so I can clear my head as we are short staffed at work again next week!

Looking good, Ruth!
That's good news about the flat - at least you know there's a bit of stability there if necessary.
All good here- had a rather productive weekend, which is nice!

Thanks ladies I am pleased, going to see if I can catch the landlord first thing, and tell him that we would like first refusal!
One of my friends has just offered me a massive bag of size 12 clothes!! I'll have them!!
I am also off out for dinner next Saturday to a Greek/Turkish restaurant.. here is the menu!
I'm thinking of having olives and feta for starters and then the mixed grill for the main. Yum.

I have just been walking again like I did last week there's one of the views of the stray.
There's about 10 other unspoiled versions of that around the outside of Harrogate. Lovely Been out for about an hour listening to some nice music and clearing my head. Absolutely frozen now :/ oven on, pyjamas on too!
