    Hi Radish

    Hope you don't mind me stopping by but I saw your signature on another thread you had posted on and just had to pop by to say well done on what you have achieved so far but especially to say well done on your weight loss, 33 pounds, wow that is amazing :j

    I love your 'size 12 jeans here I come again' I think that should be my strapline too:rotfl:

    Like ATT have to absolutely commend you on the wt loss- I need a swift kick up the backside on that one- so if you could pass some inspiration my way thatd be fab!! I have lots of pairs of size 12 jeans just none that would fit at the moment!! hoping that 1lb a week till xmas would get me at least abit nearer! ;)

    Radish,

    Sorry to hear your bad news. I hope a new buyer comes along soon.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    So long since I last posted

    Made an OP to mortgage so by the end of this year it will be under £10K :j

    Weight loss has stayed the same, so I'm not actually at 33lbs lost I'm only at 29lbs (downside of holiday) but I'm to stubborn to change my signature

    Put some money into the ISA and think next month I can top it up to its limit for the year (granny on tour fund looking good)

    Have got/waiting delivery/pick up from post office ALL my Christmas presents and cards and even the 3 birthdays over Christmas. I will still probably leave it all to the last minute to be wrapped. The joy of internet shopping :)

    Nothing on my house or BF's and next door to me has sold :mad: within 5 weeks, so mine must be terrrible :)

    Have opened a Halifax saving account (the one with the £110K price draw each month) as I have decided I will win this and then can use the money to put down as a deposit on a together house :T

    Booked a smear for tomorrow but Aunt Flo has arrived a week early, so I'm either very dizzy and can't count or it is early. So need to re-arrange that and thank my lovely body, as I will be in pain for Christmas now

    Mega plus point only 18 more days to go at work till Christmas holidays start, works Christmas do on Friday, new top bought a size 14 :) but have had to by some "hold it all in knickers" to hide the flabby belly :beer:
    Mortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0
    ISA challenge start 2019 £3000/£1500 (50%)

    I am the same, am quite organised at getting pressies, only one more to get, but always leave wrapping til the last minute which I shouldnt as I will probably run out of something (like I did last year :o) and not be able to finish it all.

    Sorry to hear about the sale falling through and that your neighbours has sold, you did say it was on for less and had a conservatory tho. I am sure your buyer will come along soon :)

    I will re-arrange for next week so you have to DO THE SAME

    Guessing I'm lucky as they have never hurt me (so many rude things I could type)

    :rotfl: I know what you mean, they always tell me to relax but that makes me worse!

  • Ive never quite understood the whole "just reeelax" comment- how anyone can relax while theyre doing that to you is beyond me!!!

    Anyways..... back to the topic in hand...
    well done on the savings Radish! also my plan to win the halifax draw though havent entered or anything yet so should probably start there!
    Boo on the house sales- have EA given you any feedback on price/issues etc.. as to why they feel it isnt selling? any more viewers? I have to say though touch wood Ive been lucky with mine it has made me fairly determined to not have to move anymore than totally necessary in my life!
    well done on wt loss - I have lost a grand total of (drummroll please) 6.5lb since we started the challenge! :rotfl: still another stone to go , though I can do up my size 12 trousers (biggest pair not the rest!) so I guess that is something!
    yay on not very many days at work till xmas! :)
