The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Birdie85

Hello! It sounds like NIM's Mum is just as crazy and charming as ever! I've got to say I enjoy the stories, you couldn't make her up!

On Friday we braved the rain and went to Harrogate, ate our free Subways, mooched around a couple of hours, went for a coffee in a bar and ended up eating there because OH's got a loyalty card that gets 2-for-1 meals. It wasn't very exciting but it was nice all the same, albeit wet!

I went to the golf course and did 4 holes with the Lady Vice Captain and some other learners (all part of trying to hoodwink us into joining the club! For (about) £300 joining fee + £300 a year membership fees I think not!) I was awful anyway! I think I can remember making about 4 good shots... considering it took me about 10 shots per hole (on a par 4 course!) that's not very good going! We're going again next Wednesday evening so I'll have to see if I play any better!

I'm blaming my poor performance on a stinking hangover anyway, I felt queasy everytime I moved! Our friends got engaged on Friday so we went out with them to celebrate...far too much wine was consumed!

I've got so much to do today;
-I have to pack for my week in Chorley
-Tidy and sort out the spare room so OH doesn't do a blitz on it while I'm away and throw all of my stuff out
-Sort out the laptop with things to entertain me whilst I'm away
-Load some new games onto my DS
-Load new books onto my e-book reader (Can you tell I'm expecting to be bored and lonely?!)
-Go food shopping so OH doesn't keep going to the posh new (expensive) supermarket just round the corner for hot pork sandwiches instead of making himself dinner
-Figure out a way to get my car to the garage at some point soon for its service and MOT since I'll be away and OH can't drive!

All this *and* OH wants to go out and do something fun since he was in full hangover mode yesterday and barely left the flat!

Did the weigh in, just lost 1pound this week. Had a real lazy day yesterday which didn't help. All pizza and icecream! Will do better next week, on the treadmill atm so here's hoping :rolleyes:

NIMs mum sounds like a treasure! I'm glad NIM is standing up to her now though, hopefully he'll act the same next time you see her and stand up for you.

Is it tomorrow you go Birdie? Hope it isn't as bad as you're expecting! Good luck with your list.

Done most of my stuff for today, housework and whatnot! Just need to iron my clothes ready for work tomorrow and make my lunch later. Right, off to burn calories!

Sounds like a long list of things to do Birdie, hope you get it all done.

We have just got back to London so I am starting on the mountain of washing and creating a mountain of ironing.

New cupcake finds for you Cinny: Linky linky.

Forgot to do the weigh in today, then found a bar of green and blacks while tidying which O2 sent me last month as a 'thank you for being valued' pressie and scoffed half of it. Grrr! Need more self control!

Hope things get easier with the scary MIL Dinah! I agree with Flower, I'm so pleased I get on with my OH's parents, I think you take it for granted when the in-laws make things easy for you.

Did you manage to get your list done Birdie? It was a long list!

1lb is 1lb Cinny, it all helps! And I lost 1lb too lol. I'm hoping to lose more this week cuz OH wants to go jogging again.

Hope everyone has a good Monday! :T

Dinah93

Cracking Monday, I'm a day late on the weigh in, but I've lost 3 lbs! Off to proudly update the sig.

Is Tete back today?

zigmeister

Well done on the 3lb loss Dinah! That's great! :j It seems that every challenge you put your mind to, you do amazingly well!

Dinah93

Think it's just because I'm about a stone more than I thought I was, so twice as much to loose! Plus it's only week 1, by week 3 I'll be whiney!

Poolie

Naughty Dinah for putting away half the chocolate. Although very well done on the 3lbs.

Not as bad as OH and I. We stayed up late last night and OH was hungry so we ended up sharing a Chicken Korma from the freezer at 1:00AM. Not good!
