    Lol @ Paul and your extra ball :p Hope your weekend of hard graft goes ok.

    Thats a nice big total for Friday DT, I haven't checked my bank yet so will post mine a bit later.

    SueP, that sound so difficult! If I could be bothered I'd give it a go but I tend to go with 'everything in moderation' I don't eat a massive amount of bread anyway but I know that if I stopped myself from having any, I'd end up round the bakers dipping a baguette in a tub of butter! Well done for sticking to it!

    Right back in a minute with my pad for the day...

    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    Hi Sil, its actually quite logical. I found the trick with bread is to picture it blood red....................really put you off.

    It's funny I don't crave sweet thinks and I really have a sweet tooth!!! I craved salty stuff :rotfl:

    Ok my pad for the day is £4.80.
    Must go and get myself moving now and get to the swimming pool - I was going to go to the gym but that workout video I posted for angelic yesterday has killed my legs and now I can barely sit down! So swimming is probably a better option...

    Sue, I know what you mean I always think that the first thing to crave will be chocolate, but its not is it it's always crisps or something like that. I remember I went on a really stupid, ill thought out diet from a magazine when I was a teenager - I lasted 2 days eating lentils and ryvita or something stupid like that and then went to the shop and got throught 3 packs of pringles, then was very sick lol

    £14.90 for me today please.

    Unfortunately my hardwork is going to be undone today. We had a leak in the week from the bathroom dripping down through the lights in the kitchen - eek! so we had to pay electrician to come and deal with the lights then £30 for the plumber to diagnose the problem. Today we have to make a trip to homebase to get the stuff to fix it and also change the flooring as the carpet got ruined! I hate carpet in bathrooms but unfortunately it was there when we bought the house.Luckily bathrooms small so I'm hoping we won't need to spend more than £60.

    On a positive note, this was the first week we managed to stick to a spending budget!:T:j:T:j

    Have a great weekend everybody!
