The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Cinny91

Thanks everyone, we've just buried her - she still looked like she was just sleeping it was horrible. Just glad the first 24 hours are over really.

Spent 3 hours ironing today to keep my mind off of things, Dad gave me £20 for it (think he was feeling guilty - lord knows why) so I'm going to go to Lush and treat myself tomorrow before the cinema. I've decided the 100day challenge can swivel for this weekend.

So now I'm just trying to keep my head down because any 'helpful' or positive things I say are just going to annoy him even more.

I'm sorry Dinah, but I'd tell him to grow up! Stuff like this happens and it's just a shame it's happened in one day. It's a pain but it's only some shirts - at least he has new things from yesterday? Also add you ain't burning any calories with him tonight now if he's being stroppy!

Definitely, and the sodding diet! Hope you're feeling ok petal x

Good point on how to deal with NIM too, methinks this girl knows how to use her sexuality!!

I'm off to have a glass of vino with Young Victoria and I promise I'll go to the gym tomorrow to burn it off Night all!

Nah make up sex is the best kind. He's stopped stropping so much now and is ironing, I guess if almost half the clothes I owned for my upper body was destroyed in one day I'd be stroppy too. I'm really sad about the blue shirt though, he looked stunning in it, and it was pretty much the only 'nice' casual item he has.

Just relax this weekend Cinny and turn off the moneymaking/budgetting until Monday. Big hugs.

Morning!

I didn't know it was half his clothes - eek! Permission to be stroppy I think!

Couldn't sleep last night so stayed up till 1am finishing my book off. Weirdly I feel way more awake on 5 hours sleep then I do on 7/8hours.

Moved £60 into savings this morning but I think that's as far as I'll be going money saving wise this weekend. Attempted to find something nice and free to do but the thought of walking around a shopping center with lots of bags swishing on my arms is very comforting!

I forgot to ask Dinah! How's your kitty getting on with her new diet?

Dinah93

Well we bought her the tins, the pouches and some dry food. She will eat the tinned stuff if you give her it in little and often portions, so we leave a bit of dry out all day in case she gets hungry, which she eats a bit of (suprising considering she doesn't eat dry normally). She won't eat the pouches at all though, but our vet says Hills will refund your money if your pet doesn't like the food, so we're going to look into that.

Since NIM thinks New York might be too expensive (still working on that one given how well the pound is performing against the dollar!) we're looking for a more local city break. He suggested Paris as he knows I love it, but I don't really want to go in the autumn so it's likely Venice if we can get it under £550, or Rome if we can't.

Poolie

Did everybody manage to get their calaries with their *cough* miscellaneous aerobics *cough* last night since everybody was talking about it

Cinny91

Personally I'd pick Venice or Rome over NY anyday! Much more romantic for Autumn I think! Good luck with finding a deal!

That's good about Hills giving you your money back, I need to look at the specialist cat food as I'm worried about my cats weight - he just seems way too skinny, So I'll bare them in mind! Taking him to the vets next week so I'll hang on and see what they say about it.

Just did my bootsdiet for yesterday, with all the junk food I ended up taking in 1739 calories, but I burnt off 347 with all the housework so I think I'm good. Not as bad as I thought!

Not me, sitting in revising for my interview More hopeful for tonight tho

Mmm, venice would be lovely!

You don't sound too bad today Cinny, hope you're well!

Dinah93

Miscellaneous calories very well and truely burnt, I think I should get extra calorie credit for supporting myself only on my shoulderblades for over ten mins

I've been to Rome, and wasn't a fan. However NIM would quite like to go, but not overly bothered. Paris needs to be in the spring or summer in my mind. Venice is definitely on my 'must see' list, but the hotels there seem really, really expensive. New York, also on my must see list, but I am nervous about going in winter in case it is too cold and icy to enjoy it. But now seems a good time since the dollar is so poor. Basically I just need NIM to come to me and say 'right, I want to take a week off to go on holiday, you cost up Rome, Prague (?) Venice and New York and then we'll pick from those'. If Rome/Prague is insanely cheaper than the other two then my MSE might well kick in, especially since we might be taking that week in CP in Jan, and we're hoping to go to Japan in 3/4 years so is a long term holiday save.

Eek, TMI Dinah!!!!

Only 4 and a bit hours till I get out of here! Whoop! I can't wait to get home! Shaved my legs this morning and everything!

Does buying emergency socks count as failing the whole 'No clothes for 100 days' challenge? I forgot to pack socks; I wore a skirt and tights for 2 days, yesterday I borrowed a pair of socks off the guy staying at the hotel with me then I had to go to Tesco last night and buy a pair for today. I was good though, I only got one pair even though there was a deal to get 2 pairs for £1.50. I was arguing with myself for ages saying 'It's only a good deal if I need 2 pairs but I only need 1 so I'd be wasting 50p!'
