All gone..........no wonder I ended up over 7 stone overweight!!! Half way there though, its moving slowly!!! (The weight not the cookies, they were moving towards my lips at an alarming rate!!!:rolleyes:)

I worry myself sick too , I have a DFD date of nearly 4 years, so don't feel too bad about your 2!!! But I have well and truly faced up to it this time (I have a history of having a lightbulb moment and then my bulb blows, this time though I have energy saving ones and they are supposed to last years longer :rotfl:) Hey I've just realised if I get a GTP, then I will be qualified in 2011 which means my wages will increase by £7k, my DFD would move to 2.7 years with that much extra to chuck at it :T. Right, I am off to find a list of primarys to letter drop about taking me on as a GTP in Sept 2010.........

Lets all be slimmer by xmas, its one less thing to be worried about! Just someone please come and remove all cr%^ from my cupboards, I don't even really like biscuits but there was nothing else there that would satisfy my need for a binge!

Yes, I agree lets all go for it! I know we can do it. Yesterday for me it was a foot long subway!! :eek: so lets get focused!

As for the lightbulbs :rotfl: I hear they last for 6 years so you're ok there! I also get to the point where I worry sick and just cant sleep - maybe we should all change our lightbulbs to make sure we carry on.. and we can help each other!

Looking at your last post WBDF gave me an idea! I too have gazillions of potions lying around and I too pledge to use them all up before buying anymore.

Hi seeptember, ive been feeling low of late so i ended up at mum and dads with a cuppa coffee the dog no walk and a banan instead of a biccie so i have overcome something there this is really happeneing, as the oh says we have time on our side for the diet but if we carry onmessing around we may need to take drastic measure weeks before the holiday ie cambridge and i deffo dont wantthat ... exciting news our relative is coming at the weekend to price us up on abit of tiling in the kitchen and some other odd jobs i always feel lifes much better when i get things done, this will not affect the debt budget x

Said it was going to be my lucky week, have got myself a cleaning job.......YAY!!! :T I can pay for Germany without soliciting myself :rotfl:.

Picked some fresh sweetcorn from my allotment, so off to cook that in a second, am giving my allotment up this year, I just don't have time to get on top of it, it looks like the lost gardens of heligan at the moment (before they found it!!) so am sharing with a friend who can't cope with hers on her own anymore, I'll give her 4 hours per month on the allotment in exchange for anything I want, with the two of us working on it it should be a really productive plot so next year I'll have fresh fruit and veg coming out of every orifice and I won't have to stress if I can't get up there for a few weeks as she is doing the day-to-day stuff while I get to do the hard labour!!!

Right, am off to cook my freshly picked sweetcorn :T

Okay, now that titles got your attention I better explain!! :rotfl:

I decided I wasn't anal enough about my spending and have set up a basic spending spreadsheet for the month thus far, when I have written my essays (no, they are not done yet and I need to post them on tuesday or wednesday) I am going to make some amazing magic spreadsheets for everything, but I don't have time to do it at the moment!

I've been writing every penny I have spent so for this month and its certainly highlighted where I need to cut back........

• Food - £118.37 (I don't think this is too bad for 4 of us)
• Elec - £18 (but need to put some more on today)
• Gas - £4 (ditto)
• Petrol - £80.01 :mad:
• Kids - £95.28 (school stuff, trips and clubs)
• Magazines - £7.57
• Mobile - £5.00
• Canteen - £10.00 (GOTTA STOP THIS - THIS IS BAAAAD!!)
• Misc - £19.16 (bits and bobs that don't fit in the above!)

So the conclusions I have come to are this;

• It's not as bad as I thought it would have been, so am fairly ok with it!
• No more food from the canteen, there's no need for this I just need to make sure I am more organised now my frozen meals have all gone
• The misc so far has been things like a dvd of a show my DD was in and I have been so stressed recently about £7 of it is sweets (for me) so I need to cut back on this too especially cos of the weight loss challenge
• I can't cut back any more on petrol, there is no-one to car share with and I have cut right back on non-essential journeys and have been walking to the shops etc
• My kids are costing me a fortune so am going to see if Elton John will give me a good price, it could sort out all my money problems in one swoop, my debts would be gone, I could buy a house and I wouldn't be paying out £25+ a week just on 'stuff' for schools, clubs etc etc etc :rotfl:I could live the life of riley!

Anyways, am off to my mates for our friday night chat
