The ultimate incentive proposed! Buying a house, a wedding, and staying debt free.

Oh your poor friend Wendz - must be awful to be in that situation. Fingers crossed she finds something else quickly.

Doubt it I'll feel guilty! Tonight I need to tidy the room, book train tickets, list ten things on ebay, call my grandad, sort out the accounts and the spreadsheets, do a few dooyoos, actually will stop the list now, that must be enough!

congrats wendz, very exciting stuff.

POOOOLLLIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE! I can't find the tickets on national express!

Found them :rolleyes: £68 for the two of us return.

I'm under 10 stone!!!! Only 2 more lbs to go to achieve the challenge. Feeling good today (if stuffed up with cold and headachey). Plus I made £100 quidco cashback last night ordering my brothers dongle for uni - which beats the dooyoo reviews and most likely ebay I was planning to do!

Woo! Well done you, if it wasn't for all the snot you'd probably be at your target! My aim for the end of this month is 10st6 but I'd ultimately like to get down to at leats 9st13, just to be in single figures. Feel like I'm back on track after a couple of ropey weeks - was about 500 calories down yesterday after I factored in the lugging of boxes in the afternoon.

£100 for the dongle is ace! How much did it cost in the first place? Is it worth getting one even if you don't need one?! And those train tickets are brill value, I'm looking at paying about £40 return Durham - Edinburgh in Feb for the two of us ... unless Poolie knows something I don't? We're too old for railcards sadly!

Your poor friend Wendz - what job was it? Even if she hated it, it can't be nice to hear that they don't think you're very good! Well we're supposed to be coming out of rescession now aren't we so hopefully she'll find something 'suitable' soon.

Made the Hummingbird Chocolate Cheesecake last night - WHAT A FANNY ON! AND it cost about a tenner in effing cream cheese! Don't think I'll bother with that again!

ETA - Hee! I thought 'fanny' would get bleeped out!!

We paid £20 Darlington-Edinburgh return without railcards, so I'd imagine a tenner each way is about as cheap as it gets?

Oh no not worth getting one if you don't need it (although there is £35 cashback on the one month contract £10 a month one, so maybe on that one?!), but my brother needed one for uni, so I found him the best deal, and ordered it. Nice bonus to me for spending 2 hours finding him a good deal!

Had a bit of a scare on the way into work, nearly hit by a van. Just kept thinking '2 more seconds and it would have gone straight into NIM'. As it was we have a chip out the numberplate and thats it. Feeling very thankful we were being watched over this morning.

Well done on the weight loss! I have given up competely, just not in the frame of mind at the moment to do it.

My friends job was in internet marketing, she did really enjoy it when she started so is a shame but she said they weren't giving her much work etc. To be honest I don't know if there is more to it than she said...

Well there you go, that's better than yesterday!

I'd guess either the company realised they can't afford her, or she wasn't performing well enough. If she was doing a good job and they had the cash, they wouldn't let her go.

Don't worry about the weight loss wendz, as I've said before if you're not unhappy with how you are, don't worry about being some superstar size, and if you are unhappy then thats all the incentive you need really - so don't give it a second thought!

I'm excited. Only another 6lbs until I let mum take me to try on wedding dresses!

Did anyone else hear about that bride to be who died when she cut down to 500 cals a day? Lost 3 stone in 4 weeks then dropped dead, its horrible.

wendz86

Yeah thats what my OH said about my friends job.

Yeah I am pretty happy at the moment and also find I actually am eating less as I am not thinking about what I can/can't eat. As long as I don't put weight on I am fine.

I did read about that, was awful. The lighter life people said there was no evidence it was their diet but I think it might have been
