    Well I have just been weighed and I have stayed the same this week. I suppose that is not bad really.

    The pedometer challenge has finished now; I had to hand my pedometer back. It feels weird not wearing it on my belt. I might think about buying one, as it was good to see how many steps you can do per day.

    Well I have just joined Dooyoo. I will have a read of a few reviews, to get the hang of things and look at how people write and then starting writing my own.

    Crikey Money Fritter I wish I could have some of your energy!
    You're doing fab. Have you booked any badminton yet? I've been going twice a week for the last 4 weeks, really enjoying it. We don't have real games though so I don't get as much exercise from it as I should but it still beats sitting doing nothing.

    Do you have anything planned for your weekend?

  • Well Finally opened one of the halifax saving pots. I want to open a couple more so I have one for 'Car Funds' and one for 'Christmas and birthday Funds' and one for 'Emergency Funds'.

    However, I need to wait for my password to register online, then I can open the other two.
