Hiya Kmac, sorry to hear you having a sh*t time. Hope your father gets well soon. As you say forget the splurge on the spending, nothing you can do about that. Ive been missing forever, due to computer problems, but up and running again. i to hope we can all get back together. My debt has reduced due to a lump sum. but i still need to tackle the over spending and over eating.
I hereby officially "kick u up the butt" catch up with you soon, take care.
Hiya Lynn, Fab your DH back, and :T well done for the 5 freezer meals, your sounding very efficient and organized, please tell me the secret. Have a fab time with you DH, how long do you have him for ?
I am going swimming this morning, aiming for 30 lengths ?. I keep talking exercise but never do it or i start it, do about a week than drop it. I know its a vicious circle, I hate it because of my size but that wont improve unless i do the exercise too.
Have a good day all

Went swimming did 31 lengths :j. Had panini and salad for lunch. I had cereal for breakfast. So far so good. Now just have to tackle tonight, and not pick, no wasteful spending today. Did have the opportunity to go shopping but delcined the offer. :j 6PM and not hungry at all, so not having any tea. I will wait until I am feeling hungry. Thats a biggie for me, as i usually eat whether i am hungry or not.
Have good night all and catch up with yous tomorrow.

Hi girls,
I've not been too bad today, had scrambled egg for breakfast/lunch and fish and chips for dinner. I've not indulged in any alcohol tonight, I usually have just one glass of something, then I go to my bed, I am such a lightweight and don't really drink.
Moneywise I've not been spending that much cause I don't have anything to spend anyway.:D I get paid on Tuesday, but alas have quickly realised that I will need to look for another job with better money as this one is not paid well enough. I'll look for something in the same field, but I think if I start looking now it is a good idea as it will take months to get something anyway, so by the time I get something else, I will have been there for a while.
Never mind, I like the job as well, but if it doesn't pay enough, there's no point in doing it. :rolleyes:
Speak later, xx0 -
i managed about 14 miles of walking this week doh! Not the 23 I wanted! I put it down to the rain and bad weather grrr. Nice day today though so will do a mile or 2 in the park
Food has been better meal wise, but i have been walking to the shop to buy ice cream lollys at night! Argh!
Having a big cleaning day today, sorting out my desk which seemed to have become a dumping ground for anything and everything tbh. Gone through some clothes to pick out what doesnt fit DD to put away and what doesn't fit me to either give to charity or to sell on ebay (must remember to list a load tonight!). I'm now starting the big job hunt as all that is left of uni is the dissertation. Think I have found about 5 to apply for, so will do that tonight tooGood luck with your job hunt too lynne!
Hope everone is having a lovely weekend!0 -
Hiys girls, Well eating been rubbish to say the least, but i have walked a bit more and ive done some swimming. Emmylou 14 miles is fab, i would be cocka hoop with half of that. Lynn what other jobs are you doing ? I am looking around for some part time work, i did have 3 jobs, now have 1 but 2 would be nice. Feeling very fat today. Last night shift tonight. Plans to get more walking and swimming in
have a good day all

Just a quick post before bed. I have eaten a lot of S**t today including a kebab, I am paying for that now!!
Was down in Sunderland today, am covering Scotland and the North of England. Jo, you will need to PM me and let me know where you are, maybe I can visit you if I am ever near you. Passed the Angel of the North today, she is a big lassie. I wonder if she eats as much crap as I do.:p
Carlisle tomorrow, so not as much driving to do.

Hiya Lynn I'm gutted, i only live about a 20 minute drive from the "Angel of the north". Not many people like her but I think she is awesome. Any time you are around Newcastle, sunderland, Durham or similar area let me know i would come and meet you for a coffee or just a quick hello. What is your job, I love driving. If you are interested private mail me and i will give you my moby number and you can text and let me know.

Had a brill day yesterday, all went well. I did not buy a bottle of wine last night, just had 1 v and slimline tonic. I am going to swap over to that, much cheaper in the long run than £3-5 for a bottle of wine. Which i was beginning to clear best part of in one night OMG. Swimming today. Going to improve on my last 31 lengths.
have a good day all
