Morning All
Good luck all of you SW people. I too have decided to start again, problem I find is that when I go running I end up eating more and never really keep track of it so effectively eat more than I should and still haven't lost any weight. In fact I dug out and found a record bit of paper that I was the same weight today as I was 2 months ago and I have been running miles every week grrrrrr.
How easy is SW to follow?I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

Sally, SW seems complicated for the first day or two, and then it just clicks, and it's easy peasy.
Green days are great for running I find - I seem to have loads of energy."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
woo hoo
Paypay have sorted out the problem so I have paid off that debt.
We've still not yet heard from Welcome Finance about a settlement figure but the bank have said they'll give me an overdraft of £1k if I need it (just as security so I don't go overdawn) and I can reduce it whenever:j. So if things work out according to the plan, we could be debt free before Christmas, if not by the end of November (well, we'll still have the mortgage but we'll have that for another 8 years).
But because life's like swings and roundabouts, we started to tot up what we'd need when LB arrives:
carpet for bedroom
cot, mattress, wardrobe and dresser (though reckon the wardrobe can come later on and I can get away with just a dresser for the time being)
some clothes though see what the relatives bring as well
nappies,
new rocking chair - my old one is still at mum's and she's used it for rocking grandchildren to sleep when they stay over and would like to continue!
pram / pushchair to get around town
So the challenge will be to get all that we NEED and stay debt free... easy peasy!
