    Oh and on the diet fron, you know that pound I lost last week? Well it's come back and brought a friend!


    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Hey Shoe Gal,

    Glad to see there are now 3 of us that have gained this week :o. I'm not even going to mention dieting, exercise or food until I have something worthwhile to report & by worthwhile I mean at least 7lbs :rolleyes:.

    Glad you're ok Bowski :j if I worked in a any kind of yummy food shop then I would find it impossible not to partake of all the freebies.

    My car is now done & I also have some new work clothes - all primarni because I refuse to spend loads of cash on stuff that will hopefully be too big soon. Actually I really dont feel like I deserve better quality stuff anyway at the moment as still the wrong size both bodily & financially :mad:. Buying some work clothes has helped to avoid temptation on other clothes. Was about to bomb out of the clothes challenge after finding gorgeous purple cashmere jumper dress ... but managed to resist :D.

    Felt really rubbish about money yesterday & a bit defeated but probably partly hormonal & also not having shopped for ages was making me feel so alienated from just about everyone I know :o. I know it shouldnt bother me but having to do school pick up in same old clothes when peeps know I have a new job was a bit embarassing. It will also help me feel the part more as next week is when I start proper hours :eek:

    Have declared not to have wine this week :confused: but that mini Baileys bottle might come out later ...;)

    Do you not want to move to London anymore?

    I don't feel like I want to run away anymore but think thats cos he might be leaving the country hopefully, if I move home though it means more money for my future whatever that brings.

    I bought the M&S cava deal, 6 bottles for £18.76 and I have manage to knock over every single one when half full. :mad: Not such a bargain when I only got to drink about half of it. :rolleyes:

    Ah well then, if we have all gained then it is surely meant to be.

    Struggling to take in the news of all the floods, so sad about that policeman too :(
