Hiya all,

Been really busy the past week or so but missed you all, not at the end of all the posts yet but I thought I would chip in with a bit about UK property prices. We live in Liverpool in the UK in a 4 bedroom 3 and a half bath 2 garage detatched house which cost us £300,000 which is around $600000. We have council tax over here that depends on the value of your home ours costs £1500 a year. Our houses are really close together too.

And Mandy its the first time I have seen your new pic in your siggie and you look really lovely.

See ya all soon!

Crazy- Keep an eye on your mail, I sent you the check.

Andrea- Thank you.

Tomorrow I'll probably head back to Kohl's get some more socks. You can't beat no taxes and socks that cheap. Two I just ordered my MAC, so I will have it in time for Florida.

Just stopping by for a quick minute to catch up between last minute packing.

I'm watching Hannah Montanta.

Did you see the new one with Brooke Shields playing Miley's mom? I totally forgot about it but my girls watched it and said that it was really sweet. I read in People that it was supposed to be a tear jerker!

I haven't, I'm behind on it. It's the week before finals, well had my first one today and it's really my only hard one.

That's good to get the hard one out of the way 1st!! Good luck on the rest of them!

Just got back from Chili's... Avery says Yummo! to corn on the cob. I was craving it after this AM conversations! Thanks, whoever started it! We went to the mall and got Avery some Crocs. She picked the pink Disney ones. Why on earth they use such a hideous color of pink is beyond me! Tucker didn't get to buy his, so we will go back tomorrow. He wants the NC State ones, and we spent a lot of time trying to find his size. If we don't find them tomorrow, he will just have to pick something else. I want to get mine, too... but didn't get a chance to go to the adults section.

I made my final payment on my trip tonight!! Now I just need to work on saving that spending cash! On Wed I will hit my 45 day mark!! Now I'm starting to feel the pressure of hitting my weight goal. I need to go down 1 more size (about 12 pounds) to be in the shorts I wore last summer. I will hate having to go buy new shorts for vacation... that money could be spent SO much better!

Good luck with the weight goal! I wanted to lose 10 pounds before the summer.

We were at Dana's "Annie" performance tonight and then cast party. I have SO MANY things to do in the next few weeks... I'm starting to hyperventilate!

Was tonight her last night? I am waiting for you to post the pic...!

I originally had a weight goal of 25 pounds, but wasn't very good with my diet for the first couple of months. I put on a lot of weight when my sis got sick, and now it is killing me to get it back off. I want to get back to the size I was in the pics I posted - not small by a long stretch, but better! But here I sit and type, while my elliptical sits in the corner lonely and dusty! But I'll have some mighty toned fingers!

I have started to get my little things together, but that is it. The weekend before the trip, I will go and get the snacks, water, soda, sunscreen, etc. I do have a list in the kitchen that I add on to, so I don't forget anything. I will wash all the laundry on Tuesday, then pack on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I will clean the house, change all sheets, clean out the car, etc. Friday night we will get it loaded, then leave between 8 and 9 on Sat. We should get to Orlando around 5 or 6. Now... let me pinch myself and quit dreaming! Last year I did the laundry and packed at the same time (on Friday.) Wynn finished packing his stuff around 1 AM, then slept on the couch. I had to finish packing my own things (since I did both kids things 1st.) I fell asleep on my bed, lights on, clothes on, 3/4 packed around 3AM. Got up at 9, finished packing, loaded the car, and we barely got to McDonald's by 11 to get a biscuit on the way out of town! Somehow or other, the only thing I forgot was the snacks for the kids to eat in the car while we drove! This year I am promising myself to stick to my timeline!!

Just went to the first page to check out everyone's family pics, and noticed several "regulars" still haven't posted a pic. You know who you are... sunlver, wendygrace, 1andrea, and medicgirl911. C'mon and get with it! How can we stalk you if we don't know what you look like???

 

[LizAgna]

KariBritt - it sounds like you have a good plan!! I'm excited that you have hit your 45 day mark!! That means mine is not too far behind!! Good luck on your last few pounds...they are always the hardest, but you can do it!!

SingingMom - I hope you all enjoyed the Annie cast party. Try not to stress out too much next week!!

Well my friends, DD & I have to be at the school in about an hour, we have to stake out a good seat on the bus you know so I had better go get ready...I had to pay a couple of bills online so DH won't have to do it while I am gone!! I hope everyone has a wonderful week & that you all behave yourselves...don't behave too much I want to have some stuff to read when I get back!!

Isnt that funny..how we all think a like about the time line before we go on vacation. I do that with each vacation we go on. Most of the time it never gets done. I always say I want a clean house to come back too, and how I am going to clean really well the week we leave, but it never happesn. i wonder why I have all this time to plan a vacation, yet I cant even image to clean my darn house?

Ok my problem is, I dont know how to post pictures? I know how to send pictures to people via the email. I go to other boards where it is easy to post pictures. But, after almost 3 yrs on this board, I still dont know how?
I figured out how to post a picture of my foster dog in my profile..other then that I am computer challenged...

Anybody watch the Show "Identity" its on Friday nights. Its a game show hosted by Penn(From Penn and Teller). I dont know why, I am just so addicted to that show.

Seems nobody else is up now to chat with me, so I will talk to myself

We are getting ready to go to the Great Wolf Lodge in WIlliamsburg, which is about an hours drive. Its a cool indoor water park/hotel. The girlscout troop is up there, they spend the night. So I got up, came down here and took care of the dogs. Let 6 dogs out, gave 6 dogs breakfast. My husband just got out of the shower, and my son is up, and my little one is up.
So now its time to round up all the stuff , eat breakfast and hit the road. I sure hope Faith likes it this yr, last yr she freaked.

Ill catch up with you all later.

It took me a while to be able to do it too. It is really not that hard once you get your pictures resized to the dimensions that the site will accept. If you got to the DIS community photo section
http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/index.php
then browse for a picture file from your computer and upload. If it doesn't go, it is because it is too big. Here is some more info on resizing I copied and pasted from the tech board:

Need to Resize a Photo? Free Program
On occassion we come across free programs that may be of interest to our DIS community and like to pass this information along.

Many users like to post photos, either in a specific posting, or as part of their signatures, but do not have a photo editing software program which gives them the capability to resize a photo, or to set it's compression (file size).

The DIS boards has specific guidelines for photo sizes when posted. For example, in the DIS Signature Guidelines you'll see that photos in a signature may not be more than 550 pixels wide by 200 pixels high. A maximum of 3 images can be used, and they cannot have a combined size of over 50K. All images count toward the maximum of three, except for Smiles. Images could be photos, countdown tickers, clipart, or any combination of images up to 3 maximum.

Normally photos are not twice as wide as they are high. The 550 width is allowed so that countdown tickers may be displayed. Your typical photo might be something like 300 pixels wide by 200 pixels high, or 250x200, or even 200x200 if it's a square photo. In no case may it exceed 200 pixels high.

You must size your photo properly before uploading it to your server. This is usually done through some type of photo editing software, but not all software has a resize capability. We know of a very nice free program that can be used to resize a photo and also, if necessary, set it's compression (file size).

The program is named PIXresizer, and was created by David De Groot. It is very simple to use and has good directions. A screenshot of the program is shown below:

This is not an endorsement of any kind, but only an informational post in the event you are interested in looking for something you can use.

The program will resize, and set compression settings, (and optionally, change format) only. It cannot be used to crop, reduce red-eye, change colors, etc.

If you would like to check out this program, or download it, you will find information about it HERE
