    In other news ........ I have had a major trying on session! I am happy with my outfit for the races on Saturday, which I am really looking forward to :D

    I can also get into my LBD :j which I haven't been able to do for a while. As long as I keep on track with the dieting and exercise I will be able to wear it to a wedding in August - so no extra spending :D

    And I can (almost :rolleyes:) fit into an outfit for a friend's birthday do in 3 weeks - so no extra spending :D

    My finances have gone pretty haywire this month, and still have Saturday to pay for :eek: and August is shaping up to be a busy social month too (and 2 birthdays!) so really need to keep on track with fitting into my existing clothes - of which I have many :o

    Like the new list, i'm sure you'll stick to it. Just keep remembering why you are doing it and i'm sure you'll be fine!

    Good news on the outfits too - every penny helps! xx
  • Yay shoegirl about the outfits - BONUS!!!! - and the fact you have lost weight and can get in them will make you want to not buy anything else!

    I'm off to NY in November and refuse to buy any clothes until i've got to the weight/size i want - sunday already planned a washing car/going the gym day so not tempted by the shops - mind you the sales are pants anyway!!

    :hello: Hiya Shoobeedoo - How are you?

    A day at the races on Saturday sounds fab, and I'm glad you can get into both that outfit and the LBD - must feel great. :T
    Those plans to spend more time on you and less on work also sound good - yay to the interior design. :cool:
