over spend and over eat

crazychatter

Grr, I'm very cross, I've been buying loads of Christmas stuff recently but when I went through all my gifts last night I don't seem to have much more than when I looked at it all last month, so what have I been buying and where has it gone? That's it, no more christmas shopping for me! One good thing was that I went through this weekends shopping and have a huge bag of impulse purchases to take back tonight.

I think I mentioned that I volunteered to decorate my work bar, I've spent two full weekends and quite a few evenings making everything but now I hear that the guy in charge doesn't like what I'v done! Now I don't want to take my reciepts to him and ask for the £100 i spent, I suppose I'll have to be brave.

CC i find making a list the best way to keep track of how much u have got and for who. Then tick each person off as you buy for them and do NOT be tempted to go back and add more to their gift package Boo to the guy who didnt like what you did! I am sure its lovely!

WTBAS - you can do it. 2 big box of chocs for £9 in tesco, or if you want the smaller boxes rather than tin sized ones even better!! That leaves a reasonable amount for a hamper (depending what you want in it I guess).

Kmac - glad your feeling better (even if being ill was helping shift the lbs lol).

Well after the realisation i had gone up a few lbs when i started the diet pill (which i quit after the first week as it did sod all imo!) I am back down to 11st 7, so I am going to keep up the healthy eating (no really i am lol) until DDs b-day and then good again until Christmas! Determined to be closer to 11st by the end of the yr to have me still on track to be back to my old weight for my birthday at the end of Jan!

Whereas id not have opened them as it was a gift to give at Christmas! Meals have been healthy though which is at least something...

Hi girls,

The shop was busy today, I had a sale on, so the place was heaving. It's on tomorrow and Saturday as well, so hopefully will remain busy!!!

The eating has gone to pot, but I have lost weight as I am running about mad at the moment. I'll have more time to post when things go back to normal. xx
