I've put a pound back on:mad: Which with all the eating, drinking and lazing around I have done this week is hardly surprising.:rolleyes: So I have actually lost 9lbs, hopefully I can lose the pound again and I will be correct next week. I hope to lose 2lbs but I think I'm not going to make my Christmas target now.
If I can get to over a stone lost by then I will be happy. Will change my sig to a more reasonable target.
I have given up on 2009 being my year, so it will have to be 2010. :rolleyes: I will write another list between Christmas and new year of the 100 things I want to get done, I haven't updated last year's list yet but I have had it in the back of my mind and I think I have probably done about 40 so not too bad. I am going to write down 100 and aim for 75 in 2010. Hopefully I will start next year a bit slimmer than this year which will be a good start.
Have been out for lunch and done some shopping, had a tidy up and watched a bit of tv, found 3 very old phones which I must look up to see if I can get any money by sending them off, even a few pounds would be nice and can go in my house fund. Hope everyone has had a good day.Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -
Hi sarah
Don't worry about the weight gain - we can both get back on track this week. I have adjusted my Christmas target as I know my original one is now impossible :mad:
Sure you know this :rolleyes: but if you do envirofone through Quidco you get the Quidco money even if the phone is worth hardly anything. Think my last phone was worth 97pbut got more than that from Quidco :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I really hope so, if I can do that I will be on target. I really want to be able to lose 40lbs altogether so if I can get 1lb off I will be quarter of the way there. I can't think about 40lbs, it's just too much:rolleyes: need to break it down into managable amounts.Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -
Hey there
I had a good weekend, shopping with my pal on Saturday - many spends but used £30 of HMV vourchers for pressies for my mum, dad and Bro-in-law.
Also picked up some lovely-real leather, brown brogues with heel but not too high so fine for work. They were £20 in New Look (had £10 off).
Also got Christening pressie for my niece (some from Debenhams in their sale) and a bright neon yellow hi-vis jacket for my cycling ( I ride my bike to and from work) not very glam but a fabulous 70% off!:j:j
Went to cinema, then Jamies Italian and drank way too much red wine.
All in all a very spendy day but lots of fun and I won't go shopping like that again in AGES....
Today went to see that play and I loved it, which is very hard to believe. The acting was amazing, you could sit on the stage during the peformance so was really close to the actors and the action and my friend bought Harvey Wallbangers in a can so we could have a cocktail while enjoying 6 hours of Shakespeare in Dutch....
Am really unprepared for week ahead though :rolleyes: nothing for lunch tomorrow and I know I've probably a horribly busy week coming.....:mad:
Am waiting for next Saturday already...I've got my own flat :j:j
Now I have to pay the bills :eek:
