    Hi BTD,

    Thought I'd pop over and say hi after you so kindly christened my diary - only meant to stay a few mins but have sat here for 3 HOURS reading your entire diary!! Scary how similar we all are!!

    I too have a terrible Diet Coke addiction which I tell myself is fine moneywise because the OH smokes (I know I Know), I am also struggling terribly with my weight and have been known to borrow money off of my own children.

    Feel like I know you after reading all your trials and triumphs but you do seem really motivated and have given me loads of inspiration and idea's - keep it up, so I can keep copying you!!!
