    I am 5' 4" - hardly a giant! I am certainly not tall enough for my current weight :rolleyes:

    Evening everyone.

    I've not been over to Shoe Gal's diary yet but I shall be joining in any weightloss challenges going. it's my friend's 30th on boxing night and we're going in a limo, all the other girls are wearing dresses and I'm going to try and lose enough to feel comfortable in a dress. I've also got a wedding on 2nd Jan so if I can get a dress I can also use it for the wedding.

    I'm with SBC with the whole football/shopping thing. I love going to the football wether it's a premiership side or my local team. I just wish I knew the rules :o

    The other week my DD had a dodgy yogurt in her packed lunch. It was a munch bunch one and when she opened it it fizzed and it just wasn't edible. So..she wrote to nestle to tell them. Today she received a reply from them with a cheque for £3. She's over the moon, I can't wait to put it in the bank for her. I've a feeling we're going to be complaining about anything and everything in future :rolleyes: Her letter was really sweet, it started with 'Dear whoever this may consider' bless her. I didn't correct it because it was really sweet and I wanted the letter to be from her rather than from me but wrote by DD iykwim.

    Thanks everyone for your messages about my car. I had calmed down by the time I woke up this am. I never was good at staying cross. I was quite shocked how angry everyone was on my behalf. Even DD's step dad dropped her off and told me I'd better not take any !!!!!! from them and to let him ring them. I declined his offer but was taken aback (but pleased) by his concern.
    I spoke to the mechanic today, he doesn't know when it's happened and didn't know if it was like that when I'd left it there. When I told him it wasn't like that when I left it he said he'd get it sorted :j
    As for the immobiliser... the car is at Renault now ready to be looked at tomorrow and the kind people at Renault are charging me £80 just to have a look at it, see what needs doing :eek::eek::eek::eek: With £145 saved up and it costing me £80 just for them to look at it I think I'm best off not getting my hopes up on ever driving that car again *sob sob*

    From my diary

    Anybody up for a dieting challenge? My hols are well and truly over and I have the waistline to prove it :o

    Christmas Eve is eight weeks tomorrow and my target is to lose 15lbs :eek:

    Thursday will be my weigh-in day and here are my starting stats:

    Date: 29th October
    Start weight: 11 stone 8lbs
    Target: 10 stone 7lbs

    Not got a definate plan in mind, just aiming to cut down for the first few days and then get organised at the weekend. And I definately need some sort of exercise plan :rolleyes:

    !!!!!

    Right not putting my start weight.
    lets just say fat and leave it there.

    equally target weight - obviously Less fat.

    Weight loss aim hmmm. lets be realistic here. 10 pounds.

    I will get my WW stuff out. And do the 5km running plan.

    Hi by the way
