    Well done psycho on the work front

    Today I used up a facial cleansing milk, received a free Elemis sample and notification of the Elemis TSV which I will not give in for - absolutely not at all!

    What else? Oh yes, used up at last one of the may Decleor Prolagene Gels I have!

    Is it 22 days already? 78 days to go!!!!

    :wave: Just stopping in for a quick catch up :)

    I'm still bringing my lunch to work, the past few days have been a struggle but I'm pushing myself. Haven't bought any random cr*p off the net either :)

    I'm just about managing with the exercise, haven't had the chance to go to the charity shops and there's none in my local library so on the days I can't be bothered with the step or walking I'm sticking my music on and dancing like a loon (hope that counts :o) I've just signed myself up to food focus today which I think will give me the boost I need, target weight is set for April 2010 which is realistic, but could be brought closer by more exercise!

    Hi everyone I finished another shampoo and hand cream. I also gave my mum a botte of rosehip oil, mirennese cleanser and Dr Lewinns hand cream out of my stash. I only have about 13 shampos and 13 conditioners now lol, Im looking forward to reaching single figures:p

    Well done Puss! Physco - that's good news on the job, I guess it will take a while for the stress to wear off and the relief to set in :)

    I've been looking at houses all week so had to take the car so I could get away in time to make appointments so not a great week for fuel consumption. BUT I did do a big shop without taking the car - had to take a rucksack and some reuseable bags - must have looked a bit strange!!
    I'm away all week with work next week and then again most of the week after so I should have a better couple of weeks on the car front!

    Shrimpy - I haven't had to walk to work in the rain yet but have walkied home in it a couple of times :( I took a travel hair dryer and an old set of straightening irons in to the office just in case :D I'm trying ot remove any excuses for not walking but its a hard habit to break!!

  • I have a confession... I've used the CC twice this week for Oyster card top-ups.... it actually works out more expensive for what I was doing in London than a day pass would have been for me (with a railcard). I'm annoyed at myself!!! Hope the rest of you are keeping on track x

  • Still doing well here.... Have bought some more Liz Earle stuff but I was on my last C&P, tonis and moisturiser. I did buy a bit more than I needed to, but I will use it all, and I got a free gift that I will use as a Xmas present, so I'm not beating myself up about it! :)

    I used up a tin of L'Occitane Shea Butter yesterday which I have had for 3 and a half years.

    Otherwise I did buy the Elemis TSV (needed a new cleanser) and obviously got the rest of the stuff and I will always use the shower gel and body lotion and rose exfoiliator so overall not too bad (I'm not beating myself up about this either a la S!)

    On the plus side haven't bought the Nails Inc TSV today

    Forgot to mention - used up one bog standard nothing special cleanser and a nice Decleor wash off one which I will repurchase in the Jan supersize version to last most of next year meaning expense is justified

    Also a massive L'Occitane Lavender Shower Gel used up too
