    I'm still on the diet challenge but I'm doing really bad. :o I weighed myself this morning, and I'm the same as I was last week. If you do a chart I'll be right at the bottom! :p Me and OH were meant to be cycling a few times this week but we've got an unusually busy week so not sure if we'll be able to fit it in. I hope so though cuz I know it's the key to me losing weight!

  • Sorry cross post there! Right must wash it tonight then, I think it's some sort of polyester (is that spelt right? It looks wrong!), was the only colour that would match the dotty fabric.

    I say yes use the ISA money - otherwise what will you use - overdraft? Presumably the ISA money makes up part of the wedding fund anyway so I don't see the problem in using it for that!

    And can't hurt to see the house and find out all you can - even if it rules it out. Might be a bit like when you see a frock you like but it's really expensive and you can't justify it, then when you try it on it looks horrible anyway and you almost feel relieved!

    I'm still on the challenge and need a kick up the (wobbbly) bum, so yes, chart away!

    That is good you have people who can tell you about the house and what the people are like.

    How about I do it alphabetical Zig, then there is no predudice. But you know me for figures, I get to tell people what their percentage is to goal and that gives me an odd thrill!

    Hay one more 1lb and you're over the hump! And you're an abolsute rake Tete, another stone off you and I think you'll snap in half on all those long walks.

    Blow away in a strong breeze! :D

    Weird question! Has anyone had any post today?! Still waiting on it in the Office - I didn't think the strikes were until Thursday?
  • Thursday and Friday I think Cinny? Maybe you just havan't got any post :D

    Do you think so? I don't think I'm any slimmer than you, just very tall! Has anyone else found they've lost weight off odd places? My stomach has gone I know that, and my wrists seem a lot slimmer and I can definitely see more of my collarbones than I have in a long while, but my bot and thighs don't seem to be shrinking much ... :rolleyes:

    Don't know, not at home to find out. Hope I get some though, sent off for the particulars of that house.
