    Isn't that the very definition of will power? ;)

    A Taxi by any other name would be just as tenacious. :p

    Hi all...
    Been up since about 9am ..just lazing about.Feeling a bit better today.Haven't got much planned for today but need to go to bank(am waiting for DH to get up).
    Have just had breakfast/lunch...and am stuffed now.I have weigh in tonight.The cashback from American express(£59.62) hit my account today and am expecting £40 from quidco anyday now so along with the £18 from paypal can go off a CC.

    The card of choice this time is DHs BMI card as it only has £2511.33 left on it...I shall be making a payment off that later today.
    Hope everyone is having a good day x

    DH and I popped out for a walk to the bank...and have now had chance to transfer money where it needs to be.
    I've just made an overpayment to BMI of £335 and this time next week will have it below £2k....if I can keep busy at work I may be rid of it by the end of May...who knows...

    Hi Taxi

    You are doing so well - I hop you are patting yourself on your back!!!!

    How are you celebrating your achievements? YOu must reward yourself.

    Sun is shining here in London and it makes the world feel a bit better.

    Waving to you and wishing you luck for your weigh in tonight. I too am going for WI but don't expect to lost any at all!!

    Thanks URG...I don't reward myself for achievements...being thinner/in less deebt is enough reward for me as I'll have all the rewards treats I want as soon as I'm debt free....
    Sun is shining here too...may even walk to WW tonight..as it's a bit more exercise.
    Good luck with your weigh in too.xxx

    Hi Taxi - Urg has a good point, you know, about rewards - doesn't have to be about spending money - something you'd like to do but don't normally?
