    Hiya,

    Well home and weighed in! Now, as much as I'd like to say that I have lost 2lbs, I last weighed myself 3 weeks ago and weighed 10st 2lbs. I am now 10st exactly BUT since I've only started the challenge and want to give you all a fighting chance :D I will amend my original starting weight to 10st, BMI 24.8. So no loss for me today, well done Dinah & Tete! :j

    Hi all,

    How exciting a new diary, hopefully it will spur you on Dinah.

    I had a really nice birthday, no big announcements but I wasn't dissapointed as I know will happen one day. Had a really lovely time , we went out for lunch with my parents and sister and I got some nice presents including a camera from my Mum and Dad, some DVDs, new look voucher (from the cats haha) and money so all very good. Payday tomorrow yay!

    There's one thing you'll learn about Dinah's threads - moneysaving, losing weight .... we do like to talk about buying stuff and eating stuff! :D
    :rotfl::rotfl:


    Wow, how exotic are you?!

    Strange, I don't consider myself that well travelled; still loads of places on my list :D

    Hi everyone!

    OH 'banned' me from using the computer yesterday :D Of course the WI lady wasn't around so no official WI from me, although I did only weigh on Sunday anyway (had lost a kilo then).

    Dinah, this may well be old news but I wondered if matched betting was something for your challenge? And I know you do the scratchcards - I find Paper, Scissor, Stone bumps up my totals ;)

    Off to catch up with everyone!

    Yae for the WL and STS, all great news! :T Pants about the house viewing Dinah, how annoying! :rolleyes: Congratulations about the house Lara, v exciting! :j I'm intrigued by the evil Quidco plan too Poolie?...

    *interrupts self to squeal* YAE, I just won a fiver on the scratchies, so £6.20 today with a bonus, yippee! That's a lot of money out here :j Will be putting it in the Wedding Dress Fund though ;)

    Good luck Littlebit, hope you aren't kept waiting! LOl at you being SOTW next week!

    Happy birthday Wendz, gald you had a great day!

    Right, OH is back so I'm off again....up to my neck in job application at mo; can't WAIT to get that first pay cheque too! :T
    Good luck with your list Dinah!
