i sincerely hope it all goes well for you and your family Fiona, take care [grouphug]

Theresa, it's great to hear from you and i wouldn't worry about 1/2lb at all, especially at that totm, yes it's all wet and cold here and here, i have no more excuses with exercise the dog needs walking whatever the weather

i love the autumn and like nothing better than kicking up a few leaves when there nice and dry and scrunchy, my dh looks at me as if i'm nuts when i run into the leaves but hey, for me it's the same as splashing in puddles, why should the kids have all the fun[msnsmile]

Jill, be brave and get those winter woolies on, it'll have to be done sooner or later

Julie B, not heard from you for a while, hope all's well[grouphug]

good luck to those weighing in today
