    hi,

    It is interesting raini, to me anyway. Apart from my wonderful family my life is pretty dull at the moment. I love reading diaries and has inspired my to do my own, really to keep track of spends, trying to pay the debt and losing weight.

    Have a great weekend.

    I'm climbing the walls.

    And I'm a stone heavier than I want to be.

    It's not a happy day.

    Hi Raini, a few of us on my thread have been on a group weight loss mission for a few weeks now, and like having the debt-diary, it really helps to report in. There is also a loose weight thread on the health & beauty boards for the same thing. I'm not hugely overweight, in fact my BMI read as the high end of normal when I started, but all my clothes were a bit tight or no longer fit, so I decided to take some action. Gives you something to focus on rather than climbing the walls!

    Hi Dinah, was actually just catching up with your diary! Exciting about the possible house!

    I know what I need to do, eat less & exercise but actually getting off the sofa is proving mighty difficult at the moment!

    The exercise part, yep, still bamoozles me once I get out of the loop! The food part I've been doing really well on though. Sad today, everyone in the office has cookies but me!

    Having a better day today :D Been out with a friend & her little ones which has been lovely, helped the littlest one get up this bouncy castle slide thing then she clung onto me when she was meant to be going down the slide & I've got a queue of kids behind me & I sort of have to push her a bit to get down the slide & then I look up & there's all these parents looking at me! So embarrassing!! :o but funny! :rotfl:

    Looking at wedding venues. I was convinced that we would get married abroad but after much consideration and deliberation and we have decided to get married near where we live. (My family actually live in the Midlands but as our friends are down here & as I can't see more than my parents & sister attending there's very little point having it up there!)

    Anyway, we have ages as LB likes to remind me (!) but if we don't start now it'll be 2012 before we know & nowhere booked! As we are in the very expensive South East / East area I think we maybe able to afford just 2 places! Both are hotels & not particularly pretty but beggars can't be choosers & all that jazz! Also, I'm hoping that if I can book some seminars for work with them I might be able to do a deal ... here's hoping!

    Can you tell I'm excited! ;)

    Hehe just a bit! Why did you decide to have it so far away (time wise, not location)?

    It would be too weird to say that I like even numbers wouldn't it!! :rotfl:

    I don't really know, we need sometime to save & 2012 is a happy number! Also, I will have finished my diploma & only have another 18 months to get the degree after which we can have babies! :D

    Has NIM asked yet?
