    Temptation sounds fun! But not with a 7 year old in tow. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Know what you mean about the weight, I have put 5 stone on over both pregancies and have been slowly shifting it.

    Have just caught up on Taxi's diary and the three of us seem to have about 6/7/8 stone to lose so maybe we can help each other? 1lb a week is a fab target as it is maintainable and isnt too drastic so can fit in with having a life at the same time and it adds up to 3 1/2 stone a year which is a fab amount!

    I have my weigh in on Weds and I am aiming for 1lb this week after maintaining last week x x x

    Those child free travels have not stopped, - thou given half the chance I'd be on a plane 2mor!!

    Yes- you imagine the conversation about temptation, made worse, as I've promised her that I'll take her to the places I've been and same hotels (coz I get around ok), we're off to the Dom rep next yr going just after my 40th, the hotel I stayed out, now been upgraded, looks absolutely gorgeous, but (theres always a but with me), thats now an over 18s hotel..... bit of pain as Playa Doradro resort, 9 hotels only 3 beach front, and sods law that was beach front, but the one were now staying in is 4+, so as its above 4 star (only just) and we have premium seating (more for me!!), we've compromised.!

    Know what you mean about the weight, I have put 5 stone on over both pregancies and have been slowly shifting it.

    With dd only put on 11lbs, and she was nearly 8lb, being inactive piled on since.

    Great idea. 1st of May is a Sat and my SW weigh in is a Weds so it will be perfect for me to weigh in twice because I have a horrible habit of having 4 naughty days and 3 perfect days so I can maintain at weigh in. If I am weighing halfway through as well then it will stop me from straying (in theory!) xx

    Can't believe that I'm only £120 off hitting the 3k target, which get done before the end of the month.

    All great plans of paying everything off at end of month melted away, £40 for dd swimming lessons (thou got £40 paypal going backin), then she needed school dresses, some more t-shirts, her school jacket tight...... so as its warm weather got her lightweight out, she wants to wear a dress.

    Just had a weird thought if I could live as frugal this for the rest of the year, could pay 12k off my debt....my cards all be clear, my personal ious, my OD, just be my loan. thou thats a def impossiblebility......... but nice to dream.

    Got more bills coming in, still owe dad £80 for glasses, the car needs a MOT and service in June, and I'm sure dd will have a growth spurt or three.. and a couple of holiday, but for those 30 seconds the thought was lovely! x

    Good news, mum has had her stairlift fitted today, so shes a lot safer, but Miss Hoodie had to try it out, (good incase anything happens and she knows how to work it), that then turned into Big Boy (her toy dalamation who is now dressed is a purple kaftan), had to have a go on it....... again for emergency.

    So funny, at the bottom of the stairs the railing comes out a bit wider, so to pass that safely you have to sit with your knees slightly ajar......... in line with the mirror..........!!

    Thats half the battle knowing the trigger points, mine in evenings I worst, I pick and nibble....... but then when I get annoyed with the OU that starts the trip to the cupboards, esp now as till mid June got 3 courses on the go..........

    Miracles are suppose to happen, maybe its our turn......... xx

    Give you a laugh very nearly a hospital visit this morning, the blokes were fitting the stairlift, so was stuck in bedroom, working hard (well nearly) on OU, and the back of the computer chair broke straight off, went flying luckly it was against the end of the bed, so ended up on my back, legs in air....... thank god no-one came in, x
