    Im so with you on why pay someone to tell you what to eat.
    But unfortunatly it seems to be the only thing that works for me & even then it doesent always as I seem to find it so hard to actually stick to it.Pah.
    But good on you for the gym though :)
    Our schools are off for a fortnight.
    Then back part of week & off again to facilitate the move to the new community campus:rolleyes:

    How is your diet going Beanie? The other problem is that if I go to WW then it's a night a won't be able to go to the gym... mmm.... needs some thought. There's a good deal on quidco for WW online...

    Managed to lose a tenner today - what an eejit:mad::mad:! I hope some poor sod found it and it made their day, could have been worse... could have happened in the bad old days where it really was my last tenner. Cursing my own stupidity though:o! Was going to go to cinema and get fish supper with DS but we're having a night in instead. and one of us is looking forward to Strictly;)...
