Where does the time go? Can't believe i haven't posted for so long! Weekly shop looms today and i really hope i can get the price under control! Seem to be spending loads and think it maybe cos i am buying so much fruit and veg to improve my diet-must read up on OS board to see if any cheap recipes! Also need to ebay stuff-still!-omg I think i am such a procrastinater at the moment!

Right am just on here for a little bit (honest guv!) before I go and clean some stuff off so I can merrily ebay. Spent £70 on shopping yesterday and that include massive bumper box of nappies. Went to wilkos and bought some string for my tomato plants and a photo frame. I've got Rosemary Conley tonight but have been awful this week with exercise and diet so expecting v bad things! Got my tesco vouchers through and have got enough now for family day out at Legoland. Now i have half an hour to actually spend DD nap time trying to make some money for this family!

Hey there,

Not bad on the shopping especially as you included nappies. I think shopping is my worse area, OH doesn't quite get it yet. Do you think it would be mean to say to him lets do our own shopping and have our own shelves :rotfl:

How did you get on with the weigh in? I've just downloads loads of stuff from online (have one month remaining) so thought if I just print off everything and put it all in a folder I have no excuses. Been so bad of late as feeling sorry for myself with feeling poorly so back to it today and must keep it up! Please pop in on my thread and tell me off!!

How's the ebaying? I must look into this, but I don't think I have anything to sell:rolleyes:

I went through some of the stuff i had to ebay and thought some would be better going to the carboot as i had crocs etc but they are a bit worn and would be good for a child to wear for a hols if someone paid a couple of quid but not in good enough condition to ebay-too much hassle! have a disney store baby outfit and a couple of unused m and s nursing bras to do though and am going to go into outhouse and sort through some stuff with ds in a minute. I stayed the same at RC on Wednesday which was a relief but am really aiming to lose some more this week by sticking to my diet and doing lots of exercise. Am going to the park this afternoon with a friend so fingers crossed will keep dry! Had a nightmare with mbna yesterday-they say i paid my bill two days late although i was sure it was on time and got charged a £12 late payment fee and £40 worth of interest-on a £2500 debt! Have applied for a barclaycard to pay 6.9% for three years. Also mbna want a £58.79 minimum payment when it is normally £25 even though I haven't skipped a payment-need to ring them but they are closed today.DH is away for the weekend in Newcastle to watch the footie all courtesy of another firm he works with-train travel, food drink, hotel-alright for some! i'm going to do the full Nell mcandrew workout tonight and then watch britains got talent-I know how to live! My shopping is horrendous-i've spent so much on food this months-and nappies and milk I guess but still!

Well i had a free evening to ebay and i sat down all prepared to do it and guess what-my pictures wouldn't upload-going to try again this evening with dh help-wasted loads of time waiting though. Will get ds to 'help' me clean up some of the junk/someone's treasure!- that is in the garage. Tomato plants are looking good outside now!

Well done on maintaining the weight - at least you didn't put any on. I'm going for it starting tomorrow with the eating and exercising, fingers crossed we both see those pounds dropping come this time next week!

Good luck with the weightloss Karen-I'm really hoping for a loss this week after 2 weeks of staying the same! Hectic day-spent £68 on shopping but got double points cos store had till problems last week, DD had 3rd immunisations boosters, did Davina dvd, cleaned out guinea pigs and finally ebayed but was painfully slow but at least i've done it! Put some stuff aside for car boot and just need to clean it up a bit. Feel fairly achieved but still need to ring mbna and book ds into dentists. 1 more tomato plant to repot and need to water plants before doing the last feed of the day. i'm knackered but at least i've ebay-hurrah!

beckseven

Feeling achieved after finally ebaying! One thing has sold already and if anything doesn't sell I'll take it to the carboot so all ok on that front. This am i did the Davina dvd and i also put aside some stuff in the outhouse for the carboot-just needs cleaning now. i'm just going to concentrate on the car boot this week now as i think I keep trying to do too many things and then feel flat when i can't manage them! Have a huge pile of ironing to do and also need to order legoland vouchers from tescos and organise online shopping as is half term next week and can't face taking two of them round the supermarket!
