    oooh hello sarah, sorry i didnt see you there :o

    as to the hayfever & xbf being a whinger - yes :rolleyes: & I do sympathise with anyone else that has it. I think I just didnt like him so had no time for his hypochondriac malingerings :rotfl:

    I love the idea of having a treat to celebrate getting the debt under £5,000 however, I did sort of agree with myself that the holiday was going to be it. according to my scales ( that I now love & cherish ) I have now lost 8lbs so to celebrate that I am going to treat myself to some red shoes when I find a pair I like :D

    I slept for 16 hours last night:o:D Am feeling better now, I was absolutely exhausted, my nose is better and my eyes aren't itching, must remember tablets before I venture outside though.

    I don't have anything planned for this weekend which is good as I really need to get cracking on my room, it looks awful:o. I have been quite lax this week due to feeling poorly/being lazy, I cannot believe how much mess can accumulate over a week. I need to get into the practice of tidying up after myself straight away rather than when something gets in my way. I always feel better when everything is tidied and ordered and I need to make space for my new shoes:D

    Gwen, carppy news about tyres, I always hugely resent having to hand over money for any car related expenses:mad:, I would be so much better off without a car but I need it for work. Great news on the Brabantia though:j Hope you get a response from M&S, am also one of their most loyal customers, hope it turns out well and they realise they must be nice to keep our custom.;)

    Ooh, you have gone over the elusive half stone:jWill I ever get there:mad: Have just weighed myself and appear to have lost another lb but will wait until tomorrow to check properly. Have you checked the Clarks sale for lovely red shoes? Some very good bargains:D

    Glad to see you back ShoeGal :D


    Sarah,
    I am incapable of having each area of my life under control at the same time.

    If I'm good with money then I'm fat, if I'm tidy then I'm rubbish at food, if I'm good with food then I'm rubbish with money etc etc :rolleyes:

    right now I'm untidy, rubbish with money but losing weight & quite good at pampering ... & sometimes I'm just rubbish at everything other than self pity & wallowing :o:rotfl:

    Re the half stone - yay I'm pleased, however it has made me realise that there's actually quite a bit more than that to lose ( to fit into clothes nicely without looking like overstuffed cushion) I still need to lose another 14lbs :(

    Off to visit Clarks right now,

    see you later, think I'll pop a bottle of something pink in the fridge too :D

    Hi

    Hope everybody is having a fab weekend, whatever you're up to :beer:

    I'm off to a work dinner tonight. Am looking forward to it, and my weightloss and 'goddess' stuff has made me feel quite glam for a change :D

    Going to have a quick tidy up so I don't come back to a hovel tomorrow :o and then get ready - face pack, deep condition hair etc

    Shoe Gal x :D
