  • Do you have any friends that always have chocolate in the house that you could 'pop round' to see and then over coffee say something like 'you know I could kill for chocolate, I might have to get some on the way home' and then wait to see if they offer you some. Or at least some chocolate hobnobs

    Heat day yesterday - and again I resisted!

    I think OH buying me one last week has made me realise that it's habit more than necessity. (though I did enjoy it, and will read it again to make up for not having a new one! :) )

    I buy my magazines via Qudico. The Magazine Group give you around £5 cashback and they usually have 6 month deals. I subscribed to one of the magazines for 20p for 6 months with the cash back. You just have to remember to cancel.
    I want to be credit card and loan free by Christmas 2010

    I think the problem is, I ALWAYS want chocolate! :rotfl:
    (but I've learnt to deal with it... nearly)

    It's ok though, because OH is away, I've booked myself an extra shift at the pub. I'm just finishing a few bits on the computer, then I'm doing my shopping (chocolate free, of course! :D ) and then off to work for the afternoon. (Landlord usually has chocolate around for us there, bless him. :D )

    To be honest, I just don't want to buy magazines. I'm getting to old to have a Heat Gossip fixation! I'm happy picking up freebies from the supermarkets, and reading other people's.

    Bought an item in each of the three challenge categories today... :o They are going in hospital bag though and I'm not allowed to touch them until I go in to be induced or until after Bean arrives by natural means...
