    Bleurgh, marzipan and turkish delight are literally the only sweets I can't stand :o Wouldn't be tempted even if it was zero points :)

    I love both those.......along with creme eggs (when in season) they are the saviour of my WW slog :o

    I bought 3 creme eggs today.....just hope that I can make them last til the weekend :rotfl:

    I've also got a WW pedometer which is encouraging me to walk more....it even converts your steps into extra points.

    I saw some lovely jeans in FatFace today......will go and try them tomorrow and see how far off fitting into them I am, and will use that as my motivation.....I won't buy them unless they either fit, or have reasonable potential to fit within a few weeks. I've fallen into that trap before :o

    Hmm this months £10 challenge is looking fairly poor at the moment. I don't have any great plans for improving the situation either really, hopefully a few more matched bets and I have a mystery shop before the end of the month but thats about all :o Need to get thinking cap on me thinks ;)

    I have only recently started wearing a pair of trousers that I bought about three years ago for a bargainous £2 out of Next:o, not such a great bargain if you just hang them in the wardrobe really!

    Today's dinner was coffee icecream followed by a cadbury's caramel - whoops!

    I was just under points today, and earned a couple of bonus points too, so have banked 6 so far from today and yesterday......hopefully means that even if I have a slip up over the weekend, I will be ok for the week.

    Hmm, my GHD's have decided to go to that great place in the sky, I was half way though doing my hair and they made a fizzing sound and smoke started coming out half way along the cord :eek: so now I have to go to school with half straight and half frizzy hair :o, gonna be one of those fridays me thinks :D

    So that will be another £100 to find this weekend as they are one of the only things (well them, the laptop and my Dyson) that I couldn't live without. You could take away the tv, ipod, mobile but not those :)

    After school I went to the hairdressers near me and their ghd's were £99 with a free heat resistant bag thing, so I'm once again back in the world of straight hair, just need to sort out where the £99 will come from ;) Then we went to the park and several of ds friends were there so we stayed for an hour and a half, then walked back and got ds sausages from the chippie as he wanted a sausage sandwich for tea, so nice and easy tonight :)

    The plan this weekend involves; food shopping, swimming lesson, car boot (buying) at ds school tomorrow, some matched betting, and hopefully some time out in the fresh air :D
