Hello, I'm back - life without internet is very strange but in my case probably more constructive! apparently one can live without doing daily clicks...

My talktalkgoes haywire as well skint, sometimes i am left without a connection and the other day the phone kept cutting off!

It's infuriating Bob - had stuff on ebay too so had to go to library and stuff to check postal addresses. I've not had any problems with them for ages.

Just noticed I'm up to about £37 on onepoll - hopefully I'll make £40 before christmas as some extra to add to the pot would be good.
Got two nights out this week so budget for this week and next will be very tight, baked potatoes for dinner a lot I think...and lots of yummy pasta!

You must be dedicated, i give up on some of them..they are like pulling teeth! but needs must and i have to get on with it..

I think i am budgeting £40 for the next two weeks, for food...overspent a bit on hols!

Well Bob I've just done some more surveys and earned a whole 15p! They seem to have a lot of prize surveys these days but personally I'd rather they just give me 10p a go... would be nice to win something though.
First week of exercising and I've lost a whole pound...still I am enjoying the gym though and that's half the battle. but a pound a week between now and xmas and that'll nearly be me on target - trying to be positive here...

another survey done - 10p more so I'll be rich soon!

This weekends aims are:

1. Tidy bedrooms
2. Put five items on ebay
3. Enjoy night out without finding excuse to call off
4. Tidy up garden
5. Sort out some more stuff for ebay/car boot.

If you are going to the gym Skint I wouldnt get hung up on what you weigh as you will gain muscle which weighs heavier than fat. Just go for how good you feel in your clothes:D

I do weigh myself but to be honest I go up and down by a couple of pounds almost on a daily basis:o I judge myself on whether I have a muffin top or not over my jeans:rotfl:

Gardening is a great form of exercise too:cool:

:rotfl: That's like telling someone who hates exercise to go to the gym! I will do some but I won't like it!

I am keeping an eye on the weight but like you it's my stomach that bothers me most so might find a measuring tape and see if I can see it reducing. At the moment I'm just trying to make the exercising into a habit again though without getting too hung up on the weight thing, if I get fit enough to start training for a 10K I want to do in October then it will start falling away quite quickly (I hope:o ).
