Only way you are going to meet "people" is to get out there missus.
You will look sensational Skinty and the nasty cows will look at you and be green with envy:D:D
I know, I know but got so used to saying no cos I couldn't afford it:o! Have quite a lot arranged over the next couple of months though, the nasty girls I could do without but there are some lovely folk going too so I shall put up with it for them and if I manage to get sub 11stone beforehand that will help:D.

Musicmagpie cheque arrived:j:j:j!!! Tenner is DS's but the rest is mine - it's only £23 but still good. my share will be about a tenth of the price of the lovely boots
but still.... stinky day here so once I've tidied up a bit I think I'll head off to the city (yikes) and look at the pretty clothes with a view to buying some once a bit more weight is off. Most of my clothes are pre LBM and looking a little tatty:o... Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Well I didn't even try the boots on - they were roughly wide enough at the top for my skinny wrists:eek:! soooo pretty and I couldn't find anything else I liked half as much:(... saw some nice dresses and tops but didn't buy anything - got a bit overwhelmed I think:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I NEED some new bras so you would think I might at least have managed that:o...
Came home exhausted though (why is it less tiring to go to the gym
) and had a nap:o. Have now had yummy dinner of salmon and roasted veg and I'm off to the gym in a bit - think I might do the sauna thing too (more than getting my money's worth these days Z 
). Must go make my bed in a mo so when I collapse into it exhausted later there are sheets on it... Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Gym sounds good tonight. I could do with a sauna, but will have to content myself with a steamy bathroom. Oh well. Good news on the musicmagpie cheque too.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
Shopping is excellent exercise Skint - carrying lots of bags tones the arms and all that walking! :rotfl:
Having a social life again is something I am really looking forward to when I am debt free - thats if people havent stopped inviting me out by then because I always say no! x xPay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000

Sadly no bags Pingu - except my handbag:rotfl:! I so need some new clothes but tried on a dress that will be perfect once I've lost another few pounds but didn't want to buy it in case I jinxed it, tried on another dress that was just plain itchy and also a lovely top that I can't remember why I didn't buy.... I am so rubbish!
it is a worry isn't it, I have been avoiding going out for so long that I am completely out of the habit. I'm not a hermit but have a few close friends that I see quite often but have avoided work stuff for ages:o, now I have gained a reputation for being an antisocial moo I think it's time to accept a couple of invites:p. Mary, Mary quite contrary that's me.Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

why did I not know how lovely cherry tomatoes were roasted? yummm:drool:....
Bought some boots today - not as nice as the other ones but will look nice with skirts and dresses for work (and they were much, much cheaper
!). Managed to get a couple of bras in M&S off the sale rail so was well chuffed there. Went to gym again and despite feeling really pants when I got there I really enjoyed it once I'd gotten going. So all in all not a bad day and DS is back now so heading off to see my folks for a bit, very rainy here so might have to take the car:o.... Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I still want them but £35 as opposed to £125 is a good saving:cool:. Must scour Glasgow sometime for nice boots - only made it to Silverburn yesterday.Happy new boots & happy new bras

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:thanks Beanie! was delighted when I found a couple of cheapo bargains in M&S - dead common size so there's usually nothing left. I shall be physically uplifted this week as well as mentally:D!
