    £5.00 into our holiday spends tin today.. just 12 weeks to go & only £21 saved:confused: think this calls for some serious ebaying.
    I know I keep talking about it, but can always find some reason not to do it!

    It also calls for some serious weight loss too!
    I will have enough clothes for the hols if I can drop a dress size or two... and posibly enough sun tan lotion if there is less of me to rub it on!!!:rotfl:
    DT like you I'm at my heaviest ever .. if we can pad, I'm sure we can diet!

    Paul, you are feeding the right animal I think... sending you positive thoughts.

    Welcome newcomers .. Padding is the only positive addicition I have!

    Well done Terri on your bingo wins - all I've got is bingo wings!!
    Angelica .. hope you get plenty of sleep tonight.

    Hi all

    Didn't get on the computer yesterday; PAD today to vile lloyds plat card £10 please.

    Well done to all the PADDERs on here, we will triumph over the debts - even tiny overpayments make a huge difference :money:

    Thank goodness I found MSE & all the support on here, because I dread to think where we would be now if I hadn't:eek: Yes, often it gets tedious & I think to hell with it & I would like to spend money....but then I realise that would be really, really stupid to get back in those ways. And even if I do fall by the wayside a bit sometimes; like the diet, you just get back on track the next day.

    Well done to Paul for overcoming the adversity & having the guts to keep going when times are hard :T:T

    and well done to Terri on her win:T:T

    No, Don't go changing Andy - that pic had me rolling around yesterday :D - (apologies if anyone was offended by my "TMI" :o)

    DT - wise words from a brave lady (not about getting preggers tho - bit drastic!) I start every day with "Today is the start of my new diet" (before eating a biccie - or 5!)

    Hello Brighty :hello: welcome aboard!

    And congrats on the winnings Terri! Tempting to carry on with Lady Luck shining on you!

    Night all x
  • 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 CHCOOY 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 ( My PAD for today is £50 )

    Great win there Terri and nice funny pics.
    I think my favourite was the sheep on the spacehopper. Haven't seen one of those in years (spacehopper that is)
  • As it's after midnight and I'm still up, the PADs for Sunday totalled
    £418.97
  • My Monday PAD is £1.15
