    Very excited as althoug I had a crap weekend christmas wise, I got in to work this morning to find that I'd won panto tickets for the three of us to go to the wimbledon theatre (I think it's Cinderella, with Gareth Gates and Alastair McGowan). So that's good! (oh no it isn't, etc)

    ''IF'' being the main problem, I really am not motivated, oh well if its not done it will still be waiting for me when I get home.

    Ha ha I know, I keep saying that I am going to throw my knickers at him when he is on stage. I dont think he would know what to do with himself if that happened lol.

    well done Hulagirl! I had such fun wrapping my gifts! are you putting pine cones on top as present toppers? or are they for something else!

    Thanks pinkladymel and scattymam it is so annoying if I just dip under the 10st7 bracket I'm fine and my clothes fit, if I dip under 10st3 they feel really good. When I yoyo up to 10st7 I usually get the weight straight off but I have been poorly so can't exercise, and seem to have spent most of the year squeezing into clothes at 10st9-11 - which sounds ridiculous, but that extra 5-7lb is really making a difference on how tight my skirts and jeans are. So instead of buying new stuff I've been wearing the loosest clothes and am determined to lose the weight by xmas, even if I just walk to exercise so that I can fit into all my old clothes!! Aiming to lose another 2lb by the end of November. I lost 2.5 stone and have kept it off, but the last half stone goes on, comes off, goes on, comes off, and its tough to keep it in the boundary. I feel like it should be easy but its definitely the hardest!! Good luck scattymam :)

    Shevs - when I have to tidy I set a playlist of 5 songs and see if I can have my clothes sorted by the time the 5 songs are over. Its like a mini challenge to keep me entertained and doing the tidying :D good luck to your BF!!
