Loved life a wee bit too much!

Hi BTD - it is impossible to be good all the time - so praise yourself for when you do manage it and dust yourself off and get back up again when it all goes wrong. Try and put in place strategies to minimise temptation like pre-preparing food, using a range of simple, quick to cook meals. Today we had sweet chilli chicken and pasta using a 59p dipping sauce as a base for the stir fry (home and bargain special) - everyone loved it and it was ready in 15-20 mins.

I'm buying for xmas too at the mo - and am nearly sorted!

Have a notebook at the ready to write everything down -maybe tomorrow. have started a couple of months ago choosing a bill to pay off -next last month £106, dorothy perkins £115 month before but now the ones that are left are a bit bigger will just have to pick one and get that cleared asap. Will keep dipping in and out to see how your getting on - am not brave enough to do own diary yet. good luck with the xmas shopping and again well done!!!
