    Hi everyone,

    I've been hanging on the sidelines for a while now and thought it about time I joined in.

    As you'll see by the signiture (if I've done it right), I have quite a bit to pay off, but every little helps so put me down for £4.20 today (a mate bought me breakfast)!

    Great thread by the way!:D

    Didin't the other half tell you that " thou must face the truth " ! ....

    Come on then ...... spill the beans ;) ...... how did you do this week :question: ...

    terri x kiss-1.gif

    OK I am facing the truth I am 16st 9lbs which is one pound heavier than when I started this so called diet :eek: and the heaviest I have ever been. :o I need to get pregnant I always lose a couple of stones when I am pregnant :rotfl:

    I am officially a big piggy so I am still hiding in the corner.

    Paul I think it does you good to write things down hence why I started a diary you can get through this and your debt is reducing and you should not beat yourself up about the past you have obviously moved on and the only thing we can change is the future. It didn't take 5 minutes for us to get into this mess and we have to accept that it will take more than five minutes to get out of it but at least we are trying.

    Saying that no PAD for me today still no spare money hopefully I will find some tomorrow.

    DTxx

    just back from a Brill day out at Alton Towers :D Half price entry, lunch, milkshake and donuts all 20% off, along with shared petrol - £33 alltogether :money:, meaning £7 left for my PAD :T instead of CC's cos its 'real' cash money rather than in the bank its gone in my birthday fund for next month.

    Hope everyone has been enjoying the sun, and unlike me not got burnt! :p

    Hello peeps 1Goat4.gif... Oooooooh i used to love my " spacehopper " when i was younger ! ...Mind you i wouldn't mind a go on one now ! :o ...

    Hope everybody has been enjoying the sunshine today sun-005.gif...

    Paul - Rather than add to the " words of wisdom " that you have been given , here's a little piccy to cheer you up .smile.gif ....

    DT - Am sure that you will " crack " the diet , once you get started gotoweightwatchers.jpg ... I know it takes a while to get motivated ..... If all else fails then maybe set 3 of twins ? !;) :rotfl: ....


    Here's my Good and Bad for today ...
    The Good - Pad £50
    The Bad - Still CHOCCY bar free here ...

    My daily food diary 7_12_6.gif...
    1/2 tin of beans and sausages on toast ( aprox 350 calories )
    pasta with tuna , peppers, onion .
    1/2 glass of wine !

    Diet wise ... An ok day today .... but i went way overboard yesterday , so really i shouldn't have eaten at all ! :(

    Up until 2 hours ago , i was having a really " cheesed off " day cheesedoff.jpg ... i got ready to go out this morning , then thought s*d it and stayed in ( i would have only ended up spending money i never had if i had gone out ! ) .... So stayed in instead ..... all grumpy and miserable ! :o ...

    Then this evening i decided to have a game of bingo on the Littlewoods site anyway i won £50 ! ( not bad as i only bought one 50p ticket ! ) ...

    An hour or so after i decided to try the Take a break bingo site and won £88.32 ! ( i only bought 4 25p tickets ) .

    I was using up some odd money that i had left in both of those accounts , so am really pleased as i had made a mistake when paying some bills this week and somehow managed to pay a bill that wasn't due for a while , instead of the one that was debt1.jpg.... and had spent all morning wondering where the hell i was going to find the extra money .

    So have now withdrawn the winnings from both of those back to my credit card 92726e010b7adbeb7bea0b5ab12354d5607.gifsmileyhappydance.gif ...

    I was wondering whether to try for 3rd time lucky , but decided against it !

    Catch you all tomorrow ...

    terri x kiss-1.gif( My PAD for today is £50 )
