    which reminds me Pooky, I have an official complaint in with HSBC! All my insurance premiiums are being refunded that I paid to them...and third party insurers are paying out on my accident...so a big mwah to your OH......

    I am now insured with Admiral on a multi car policy and saved meself a packet...
    Ummm Admiral, they want to charge me £34 more for moving around the corner literally less than 100 yards and its the same postal area and we've got a garage. I still haven't changed my address with them either. I think i will cancel my policy which will no doubt incur an early exit fee! !!!!ing winkers. They can go whistle for it cheeky !!!!ers:mad:

  • I am in good mood.

    Have decided that as of sat morning, I am no longer doing CD.

    I will stick to healthy eating and gym-ing and running. I spoke with DH tonight and said I was miserable and hating doing it-and I originally had said I'd only do it for 4-6 weeks-this will be week 5. He said I've done really well and accomplished what I wanted (which was to loose at least a stone and feel happier) so is supporting me. I think because Im also sticking with the gym he knows I've made a lifestyle choice. I feel so much happier making this choice!

    I think you are doing the right thing. The exercise will help your body find its own natural weight and keep eating under control (she says having just eaten a huge cookie)

    I took DD sledging this afternoon, even though a lot of the snow had melted in the sun....I hope it snows really heavy tonight and we can have another day in the snow :)

    You've done really well Bunny. How much have you lost in the 5 weeks?

    I'm wondering if I could stick to it for a fixed period of time, a month or 2 maybe just to give the weight loss a huge kick start :confused:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

  • Thanks for the support guys. Now that I know it's just til Fri really, I can stick to it.

    And I am planning lovely healthy meals in my head!
