    Hi Girls,

    I'm not doing too well with the diet for the last few days now. Have just eaten 2 bags of crisps and had one of those wee bottles of wine to myself. I don't really drink so that's more than enough to get me smashed. I think I'm going to go shopping tomorrow and get healthy stuff in for all week, I had a cooked dinner tonight, so that's something I suppose.

    Might make chilli tomorrow, I've got some mince in the freezer, so I'll stagger downstairs and take that out, it should be okay in the morning for cooking. If I do a menu plan then I might not eat as much crap next week. I'm going to weigh myself on Monday morning and take it from there, no more messing around!!

    I finished an online application off today and will have a look at my CV tomorrow, I ran out of time today.

    I really do feel tipsy now, I'm such a lightweight when it comes to drinking, I gave up about 12 years ago because I used to get really ill with it. 1 glass of something and I'm anybody's. :rotfl:

    Sunday tomorrow, I love that because I get my breakfast at mums, full fry up I'm afraid, sausages, bacon, black pudding, tomatoes, mushrooms, potato scones, egg, not very slimming but it is my favourite meal ever. It's the best!!

    SL - you could always ask for it to be grilled :) and have scrambled/boiled egg rather than fried.

    Had a snack attack today too :s had 3 cookies. Wanted to do 30 mins of Davina DVD but OH wont bring the DVD player out of his room up the stairs (the one down here is broken) so i cant :( booooo

    Lil missemmylou,

    My mum's breakfasts are the best, you can't mess with the secret recipie.:rotfl: . I'll def start on Monday, the breakfast is the meal I look most forward to all week.

    I'm a bit tipsy after my large carry out of a mini bottle of wine and 2 packs of frazzlez (yum). I'm going to bed now after my wild saturday night.

    speak to you tomorrow,

    SL xx

    hi BJ
    I've been reasonably good today, but I have a glass of wine on the go and I have no idea how many "syns" I had for dinner. Trying really hard not to care too much at the moment though!
    I did go shopping for some food. We had a quick BBQ (2 of the kids & I), enough for lunch tomorrow:p

    Don't forget at some point to immortalise those little hands in a painting of her prints. It won't be long before she is 21! Nice memory. Ref the not paying a debt and going out, I think that this is a good thing to put down in print. REason being that if you say it or write it, it is not at the back of your brain anymore, you have bought it to the front for you to deal with it.

    You could have a bills account from which all your house hold bills go from, to ensure the essentials get paid. Would that help?
    chev

    I do have a Halifax bank account, lying doing nothing with about 30 quid in it. I could use that. Have bills money sent to that and DO NOT TOUCH IT.

    Its why i have this want, need, feeling. That bothers me. why on earth would i really want to not pay a bill, have then send me about 3 reminders, have phone call, then be threated and charged late fees. When i could have just paid it ???? I do remember my mum being in money difficulties when i was a child, well 12, 13, 14 sh ???

    The little handprints, good idea, Thankyou
