    I thought about getting up for the Next Sale but realistically there is no hope of me getting up early on a Saturday morning!!!

    And I can imagine the kind of hassles you get trying to nab stuff on there so I've not bothered!

    Well done on picking up something though!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    At least you got something. I went online to see what there was. I wasn't v.impressed with much at all. Put a few things in my basket, then got to the checkout and thought 'do you actually want any of this?' The answer was no, so I didn't bother. I think it's maybe better in the shop where you can see stuff properly.
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    I got a couple of pairs of jeans at the Next sale today in store (nothing online) and some stuff for DS. Hopefully the jeans won't fit me for too long but I did need some 14s (sadly 12s aren't cutting it at the mo).

    Hi everybody

    Didn't manage the productive day I promised myself :o Managed to do my washing but apart from that I spent all day reading - new Sheila O'Flannagan for any chick lit fans out there - it's fab :D

    My weightloss seems to be going well, despite my lack of exercise, I have now reached the magical half stone loss :j so am feeling quite chuffed with myself. Now I need to keep going and not think it's OK to slip back into my old ways like I usually do :rolleyes: Only 3lbs from my first target of 10lbs so I really want to get to that

    Still not feeling very productive but am going to try to get some stuff done today. These few days off were supposed to be for sorting -stuff and my head (!), don't want to go back to work on Wednesday having achieved nothing :D
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Know what you means, I took loads out of my basket at the 'checkout' bit cos I had them just for the sake of it :D

    I only do online, I can't face the store :mad: - and I didn't actually get up as such :rotfl::rotfl:

    Well done - and fingers crossed for the bargain jeans not fitting for too long :D

    Here's hoping! The down to 11 stone by end of June didn't do too well - I'm back up to 11st 10:rolleyes:! life is so much easier when DS is at school and there's routine in my life... stuck for babysitters at the mo so not been to the gym much.
    Maybe 11st by end of Aug...:o
