  • Right, am finally caught up,

    Am loving everyones cunning September and Rest of Year plans, cant wait to see how they all turn out!

    Sarah - congrats on the lottery win, hope you enjoy spending it on fabulous clothes for your fabulous self!

    LulaHula - you have my respect for your biscuit abstinence - they are my nemisis

    My plan is.....

    September - take it easy on the MSE front, as have been working at it for over a year now, and its time for a rest.

    Rest of Year- Save £1925.00 before 1st December to make target, through saving, budgeting and cunning MSE ways (even if the surveys do bore the pants off me) AND NEVER USE THE EVIL EGG CARD AGAIN as it leads me astray and makes things harder for me.

    And my plan for today is to stop playing on MSE and gets some work done.....not sure how that one will turn out.....

  • Sorry Lula, forgot to reply to you, the unexpected heat is making me have a blonde day - the wardrobe only took 5 mins as was only shuffling things round, but working out the outfit took ages as couldnt find a top to go with the skirt and had to try on several.....which must be why I wear the same clothes over and over again - i dont have any spare time in the mornings to do that. So will keep on trying to organise myself the night before,

    I want pink elephant wine now - it just sounds good!

  • Hi Guys!

    How's everyone doing..it was a bit quiet at the weekend...out getting life i suppose.
    welll i had ww last night and lost 1.5lbs yaay:j So baby steps and i'm sure i'll get there...but i think i'll have to be on it subconsciously forever since evry time i stop (not becasue i've reached target!) i go back WORSE than when i started before:o
    I'm chatting with a nice guy on plenty of [STRIKE]freaks[/STRIKE]fish and so far so good...but the re-appearance of hard to resist fling guy from last year is sniffing around again:rolleyes:
    aslo it's just under 2 weeks to pay day and while i'm almost on empty i haven't raided the [STRIKE]savings[/STRIKE] get me through the month account yet...which is really good.

    And Carole and Lula..how do you manage without sorting the night before...i spend ages looking at the same boring stuff every night before picking something...i couldn't afford to waste 10 minutes of sleep time in the morning doing that...:eek:

    And now my plan for the rest of today is to manage to do some work without falling asleep...sooo tired

  • Hi Ziggles,

    The answer to that is that I wear the same clothes over and over again so I dont have to choose....but that is boring and doesnt make me feel f-fabulous, so that needs to change,

    I dont envy you the weight watchers stuff, I hated it when I tried it, being tipsy and trying to work out the points values of your drinks is so annoying!

    Fingers crossed for you, I'm sure it will be fine :D Sometimes it can be hard to move up a level, but it will be worth it in the end :j
