    Hope the weather clears up for you soon Taxi but good that you have the buffer to cover.

    OH has been out the last few nights as the roads are getting much better, hopefully it will begin to thaw by you soon xx

    Thanks..it will clear when it'll clear I guess.
    We usually go on holiday at this time of year..somewhere nice and sunny ie Cuba but decided against it so that we paid more off the debt...oooh the irony.
    I suspect things will be worse over the next few days as councils are very low on grit so even main roads won't be done.
    Battling the debt is a long battle anyway so I guess another few weeks won't make much difference...everything will be ok in the end.
    Weighed myself tonight and 2lb lighter than last week.
    DH and I are going to town tomorrow to have a walk and I have some Evans gifts cards as well to spend.

    I agree that your head needs to be in the right place to start losing weight.
    I haven't got a plan yet...I'm just for now using a smaller plate and will try to eat 3 meals a day and go for a walk(very slowly in the ice..lol)
    The vouchers are off both DDs...I don't really need any clothes but if there are some smaller ones in the sale I'll buy them if not will just save them until I see something I want.
