Hey mummy, i really dont know what they think they are doing at there end???

My motivation for losing the bulge............not fitting into a 14 as a little big and the 12 doing up nicely but gives my a HUGE muffin top!!!!! its getting warmer now and struggling to find things to wear that look nice.........:(

Did an hour on my slendertone last night and am gonna try do an hour a day. It says in the blurb that with just half an hour a day you can see results in 6 weeks, i figure that means if i do an hour a day i will see them in 3 weeks.......???? Going to get my OH a swiss ball and we are both going to do my core secrets workout. It really helped me tone up all over when i had had ds1 so hoping it will work its magic again. If my fella is doing it with me he cant moan he is missing his programme!!!!

Still working my way through weezls 50p a day thread, that takeas some reading! ds2 is now eating what we are every meal but am stuck for lunches that isnt sandwiches. Me and ds1 used to have pizza but dont think ds2 is quite up to that yet, although might try him with a thin crust..........?

ooh that reminds me i got a massive box of washing powder from mr m's the other day. it says it will do 70 washes (i will get over 100 out of it) and cost £9.79, good when the box of powder that does 50 washes was £9.78!!!!!! now that was a good deal.

Just reading back through my diary and came across this post in jan...............I AM STILL USING THE SAME BOX OF POWDER NOW!!!!!!!!! was thinking today as i tipped the last into my plastic box i wonder how many washes this box has done?!!!

That is doing minimum 6 washes a week, how much powder do they think you should use as my clothes still come out clean and had a lot more washes!!!!!

Entered a few comps today but being jinxed with all things compy i am not holding my breath.

Really should go to bed now as am in work tomorrow (i had forgotten) as teaching the student nurse we have how to do nursey things like blood pressures (the proper way) and stuff!!!! But finding other diaries interesting and wish i had the motivation and budgeting skills of others...................

You'll have to let me know if the Slendertone works. I need to do some major toning up in that area... and these ads for Slendertone have been tempting me!

It was the adverts that tempted me and my mum to get one years ago............do they still say you can wear it under your clothes and no one will notice???? RUBBISH!!!!!!!

Rags,

As I think I mentioned earlier, you're debt is very similar to ours.

Can you think where all the money has gone? I just cant put my finger on what 20K+ has gone on with us !!!!! :-(

Hey paul, our debt has come from moving into a house we thought was done and we could move in and do nothing to it!! slowly found that the people had done a bit of a "property developer" on it but cheaply and carply!!!!! Before we moved into this house (been here 3 years now) i had managed to get our debt from £5k to about £1.5k!!!!!!!!:cool:

We have slowly papered all the rooms and replaced the carpets and had underlay put under. Also new sofa's, a new car (our old beloved car's engine conked out the night before i was due to be induced with ds2) not living within our means, and furniture for our house including a new bed as our old one fell to bits!!!!! oh and having ds2 and having to live on smp!!!!!!!! oh and my new front and back doors (which i dont care what anyone says its a need not a want) and having to replace the boiler as 3 months after we moved in it packed up and they dont make these boilers anymore so had to get a combi fitted in. That didnt work as we didnt have enough water pressure (last one on a shared water pipe) so had to dig up our front garden and connect a pipe so we have our own supply.

Get the impression i am jinxed???!!!!! I also live at no 13!!!!! fate is just laughing at me!!!!:rotfl:
