    Thankyou guys, it definitely made my day, although I know I'm nowhere near a 10 really, maybe because it was a dress I don't know. Anyway, I've since gone and bought another one on ebay for £13 :D I also bought some Diesel jeans on there the other day for a tenner, hoping it all fits, will sell it on again if not. I've had an email to say the new look dress has been dispatched already so very impressed with that :)

    I've just done the davina dvd again as I knew downstairs were out, now off for a quick shower before getting into bed with the lappy for some comping :)

    Wow on the size 10 BB, it really does boost your confidence when you have days like that.

    I have started off a new 10 week summer challenge if you fancied a bit of support from fellow losers:D

    Matched bets have been a bit thin on the ground, need to look for some new sign up offers I think.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Thanks Louise, realistically I'm a 12 not a 10, but even to be a 12 gain is fab, when I started this I was really a 16 but forcing myself into a 14 albeit very uncomfortably :o so to be a 12 again is lovely :)

    We've just come back from the local cheapy shopping town; nipped into primark and got ds some new shorts and a t-shirt and me a chocolate brown vest top and sunglassses (£11.50), (always losing them down the beach so just buy cheapie ones). I also got some bits and bobs in Wilkos (£6.40) and £2 for the car park. It also involved a quick trip to the bus station to watch some buses arriving and departing :o:o

    We're going to have some lunch before going round to ds's friends house this afternoon.

    We went round to ds friends house this afternoon getting ds haircut en route, then we went for a walk down the beach with them. We ended up doing 5 miles, very impressed that the kids kept up and didn't whine about it :) Spends = £6.70 barbers, £2.60 bottle of water/ ice cream and £1.50 bouncy castle slide.
