    Hi

    I trust my scales (sadly in view of what they say :o) although am now worried about what sarah said about what will happen when I replace the batteries :eek:

    But I also agree about the look/fit of clothes. I bought some skinny jeans in the Next sale in summer thinking they would fit! They don't :o and I never got around to returning them (only £10 but :mad:) so I now intend to wear them and am trying them on each week! Current position is - they get stuck on my thighs :o
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    I have weighed myself and I haven't put anything on, thank goodness, it really would have been a bit optimistic for me to have expected to lose anything as I have eaten a lot of rubbish this week :o. Anyway, I am quite happy that I have stayed the same and I will aim for 2lbs next week.

    I need to get on and do some housework stuff today, if nothing else I want my wardrobe decluttered.

    Well done for not putting anything on - you obviously haven't been as naughty as you thought :rolleyes:

    I have been to the gym this morning but off to my mum's soon so bound to get fed loads there :D

    Hello SAID's
    Hope you've all had a good weekend, I've been busy - mostly eating and drinking too much, way way too much in fact!! Haven't set foot near a weighing scales in about two months - bit too scared to... Have been perfecting my ostrich skills on this front just lately - bit like the debt-busting really... Meanwhile I am contemplating completing my weekend blowout with these babies.....

    I so know I shouldn't but..... I am my own worst enemy!!

    I do think the main reason I want them is I spotted them in a shop but they didn't have my size - always want what I can't have - eh? One of these days I'll learn my lesson :rotfl::rotfl:Gonna sit on this one for a few days - maybe if I do some exercise/don't pig out again for a while and still lust after the boots I will reward myself then :o

    Well done on completing your list Shoe Gal:j. I, of course, utterly failed at mine:rolleyes:. I have not done any wardrobe decluttering and it really needs doing:o. I think I am subconciously avoiding it because it is such a mammoth task.:o I have managed to do some food shopping, change, wash and dry bedding, hang up washed clothes from yesterday, fill half a bin bag with rubbish, have a nap, scoff half a box of after eights and watch iplayer, so not a totally wasted day. :D

    Also put coins in piggy and remembered to have a litre of water and take some vitamins which I have been forgetting about for a while, am running seriously low on them now so I am going to stock up when Boots have their Christmas evening on Wednesday.

    I have not been doing my payment a day as my rent is due just before payday and I want to make sure there is enough to cover it, am annoyed because I want to see my sig shoot up but I should be able to make some bigger payments once I get paid and I am putting extra money in the piggy to compensate.

    I have enough food and petrol for the week, so am hoping this week will be a fairly inexpensive one except for Boots shopping and I can busy myself with wardrobe decluttering to take my mind off spending:rolleyes:
