The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Yep it's at Teesside park. I've had the fajitas, the sweet potato skins, the enchilladas and NIMs had various burgers and ribs, none of which are hot spicy, just flavoursome (and I think Tikka Masala is about right on the spice level, as a guague). Main courses are £9-£13, starters £4-5ish, so its not too bad really. Plus if you register on their website before you go you get a £5 off voucher! Free warm nachos and fresh salsa for every table too. Depends on the night if you need to book, Friday and Wed are the busiest, but if you are there before 7 you'll have no issue anyway. Bit later and there might be a 10 min wait, but there is a bar area.

I feel REALLY sick from the strawberries and cream pack. Regret, I has it.

Bet is tasted lovely at the time though! Has to count as one of your 5 a day right?

I'm clock watching too Tete, 30minutes and I'm off shopping! Eeee! Don't know how I'm going to fair at the cinema though - we're going to see The Orphan at 6 then Ugly Truth at 9, I feel sleepy already!

2 of my 5 a day. So that brings me to 8 of my 5 a day I've eaten so far.....

Cinny let us know what the Ugly Truth is like cuz I wanna see that! Gerard Butler is cute!

I'm so rubbish at eating my 5 a day. But as of Monday I am going back on Weight Watchers, but without paying cuz I still have all the stuff so I can do it on my own. I lost a stone on it before so here's hoping I'll do it again!

But tonight I am going out for pizza with OH as it's our anniversary

ETA - I am currently reading the first Harry Potter book, after watching the new film on Wednesday and wanted to know what people thought of it? Cuz I didn't think it was that good! All Ron's scenes were good but not much seemed to happen. Dunno if it's just me though!

Ooh, thanks for the tip about the voucher, it came straight through! No good for tonight as it's Mon-Thur but might do us through the week. Will see what OH reckons. Had Mexican for the first time in Ibiza and I loved it

Enjoy the cinema Cinny I'd be asleep watching two films in a row. Loved Young Victoria last night.

Peppermint tea if you feel ill Dinah, sorts your digestion right out! OK I'm off, clock watching no more! Weekend! Woo! Have a good one everyone xxx

ETA - Happy Anniversary Zig, have a lovely time!

Not entirely sure when we'd go - does anyone know when they put up the ice rink and giant Christmas tree?!

Glasgow usually has an ice rink and christmas tree is George Square

So, the super suprise holiday option I've been working on all day for October. NIM is going to try to put holiday time in for it on Monday, so if he manages it, we've decided to go.

Saturday 3rd October 7am - Fly Newcastle - Dublin (£5 per person)
Get train from Dublin to Limerick (e20 per person)
See NIMs friends and family
Sunday 4th October - NIMs Birthday! The reason I wanted to find a way to get him to Ireland that weekend, and why I chose this week for a holiday.
Monday 5th October - 8am Fly to Venice from Shannon (e15 each), airport transfer e10 each
Tuesday 6th, Wednesday 7th - In Venice (£85 per night)
Thursday 8th - Leave Venice, go to Pisa (e40 each). Stay in an amazing converted monestry (£45 per night)
Friday 9th - See tower, go to Milan (e36 each)
Saturday 10th, Sunday 11th - In Milan (£75 per night)
Monday 12th - Milan, plane back at 4pm to Leeds(e25 each), train back up to Darlington (£6 each)

So, in total 10 days, 4 bases, £770 approx for the two of us. I think I did good.

It's funny but going straight from here to Venice for one day less costs £2 more and we'd see so much less.

Wow, Dinah all sounds like a great plan, action packed and all for a great price, well done you.

Evening all.

Fairly uneneventful day. Listed a few books on RISI, tidied the house, looked at property !!!!!! on rightmove, looked at more hotel options for Italy, and worked on the website.

Had my weigh in this morning, a day early but I know I'll be busy tomorrow. One more pound gone, seems too little all considered!

hi hi! had a good day at work today which is surprising and unusual!! but hey lol!
Also just paid my CC for this month, just need to pay off the petrol I bought last week really but I'm not going to bother about it till next month (I'm trying to buy a few small things every month on it and paying off in full so I can build a good credit rating )
Aaaaand I went to the gym today, only for 20 mins but I supposedly burnt 310calories (I dont believe the machines at all) which if it was true, would wipe out my kitkat chunky I had so yey!!
need to go and make my lunch for tomorrow (vegey pasta bake and fruit salad I think) and call the boy. I haven't seen him for almost 2 weeks, and that was even pretty brief and I really am mising him. and I need him for my misc. aerobics dammit!!
Ah well, also i know I haven't been being toooo strict on myself (ahem kitkat chunky...) but I have only lost 1lb since we started this thing. I've been to the gym almost every day (mostly for longer than 20mins too!), I've been having healty lunch and breakfast and dinner as best I can, but I know my gymming isn't really making more muscle (no excuse for no weightloss), So I really don't get it and its not fair at least you guys are all losing!!
