    How about this for a starter :

    next weekend my boss is having a big party which I dont really want to go to BUT, I do need/want some new black strappy heels so am going to go to the party so I can buy the shoes & therefore write it off as a work expense ;)

    Fear not, you havent missed anything yet, I am starting all my MSE type activites on the 1st of September.

    The list includes :

    Carry On Questing :D - new volume of the same old sagas,
    Carry On Treating - new way of working alcohol, shoes etc into the budget ;),
    Carry On Dieting - self explanatory :rolleyes:,
    Carry On Debt Busting - including an ambitious return to the joys of NSDs _pale_
    Carry On Exercising - including walking to your food :D
    & of course the old favourites
    Carry On Drinking & Carry On Being Single :rotfl:

    Me too - to nearly all of them :eek:
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Oooh me too!! But I always say that near the 1st of each month :rolleyes: But September is definately going to be my month to get crackin. Already put my name down for NSD challenge :T

    I really want to start a diary but I just don;t know how to start it- how to word it. It'd be boring and everyone elses are so good and inspirational, everyone always seems to know what to say. But I am boring so I guess it'd suit me, no point me trying to pretend I'm something I'm not :confused: (i'm not putting myself down -I know I'm still F fabulous even when I'm boring :D)

    I found my list the other day and I have done a few of them, I think I only had about 30 on the list and think I may have done about 10 :eek: At leat I'll have a head start for next years list coz I'll just transfer them all :p

    She is such a wonderful teacher :D what with her justifications & your " shoes dont make you look fat" mantra I really cant ever see me being barefoot, but just to make sure, yesterday I gave DD1 a pair of boots & previous black strappies to ensure that Lulas Karmic Law was in full working order ;)
