    Hi

    Wedding last night was fun :j I had a great time and put the jewelled shoes to some good dancing use :rolleyes:

    Not done much today - plans didn't come off so have had a quiet day. Feeling a bit sorry for myself so treated myself to M&S food, wine and Marie Claire - naughty spending :mad: but mostly :j

    My somewhat strange weightloss seems to be continuing despite being so naughty this week :confused: I am now 11st 1lb - the lowest l have been for over a year

    Money is going to be tight for the next couple of weeks until payday but I don't have much planned so should be OK. It's not as bad as I feared, despite all the social stuff l've done the last couple of weeks, but l have 2 birthdays before the end of the month :eek:

    I should be feeling good but for some reason I am feeling rather flat :mad: Not sure if it's because all the social stuff is done or whether I am just feeling a bit lonely :confused:

    You've done loads! dust.gifth_shop.gifconnie_25.gifsport-smiley-003.giftype.gif

    My smiley store is becoming exhausted. ;)

    Hope it is just tiredness after a hectic week and lots of socialising that is making you feel a bit flat.

    Wow shoe Gal, that's a terrific list of achievement for a sunday :A.

    As Holly*Bag Gal*berry says, you're probably just a bit tired & flat after a busy week, so dont despair & well done on the Fantastically Fabulous Weightloss :j

    Take care of yourself & keep your chin up while I'm away, just remember the magic mantra ... :D

    Hey Shoe gal

    I always feel a bit flat on a Sunday evening. I think it's that back to school thing going on!?

    Totally in awe of your weightloss - way to go girl!:j:beer:
    I'm hoping that as part of my savings plan I can manage to stop spending so much carp on food at lunchtime.

    I thinkyou were like me on that, popping into supermarket for lunch and coming out with a tenners worth of stuff??? how have you managed to sort that one out??? I need all the tips I can get!!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Not sure I have to honest :o There's no secret, I am just really strict with myself - and try to actually go less often to keep me away from temptation. Also, from the beginning of August I have been strictly cash only - no debit/credit card - and this seems to help :confused: maybe handing over actual cash makes it seem more like real spending - or maybe it's stopping me picking up 'extra bits' to make a card payment 'respectable' :o
