Hi Shoegal

Just catching up on the diaries.

So sorry to hear about your friend. Must have been an awful shock. My thoughts are with you.

Take care of yourself

Got sent home from work early so started a bit of Christmas shopping. Don't have loads to get but am a bit of a random shopper, just buy what looks good at the time so should probably make a plan!

Not much else going on, and it's definately too cold for dieting :rotfl::rotfl:

Pay day yesterday so time for some budgeting, was far too close to the wire in November Really shouldn't always be down to coppers in the last few days of the month!

Hi Shoe Gal.... have barely been on since May due to no internet so just catchin up now while I'm babysitting at my sisters.
Just wanted to say hello :wave:And well done on your debt repayments... it's certainly going in the right direction

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend Life really is too short, we need to enjoy it as much as we can :beer:

Hope you have a good weekend

I can't wait to become a regular again, I've missed you all.

Hi Bowski - good to 'see' you back :j

Brrrrrr - it's sooooooooooo cold

Not much happened this week - weather restricted!

Have lost 2lbs - bit not really been making much effort, going for comfort food whilst it's been so cold

Moved offices at work yesterday - seems OK so far.

Finally got paid on Tuesday so really need to get organsied with what I need to budget for over Christmas

This is my only 'free' weekend before Christmas so I intend to get my shopping done, plan my outfits for all the social stuff I have planned - need something to wear for work Christmas meal

And am starting to reflect on the year that has passed - not sure I achieved that much - but not sure what approach to take in 2011!

Morning hon, was worried you'd been snowed in so glad to see you're still about.

I've not done a shred of exercise this week & have been 'carbing' like there's no tomorrow, amazingly I seem to have maintained that miniscule 2lb loss.

Well done on your loss & glad that office move seems to have gone ok.

I think its very unlikely that I'll manage to shed the remaining 12lbs in the next 3 weeks :rotfl: but I'm not giving up. It will be gone.

Hope you have a lovely weekend

xx

PS - Just re read your sig & you've paid over £7,000 off your debt.

That is a great achievement

Thanks Lula :A

Debts are going down in baby steps and I think I will stick with that next year - as you know, Shoe Gal without a shoe budget is not a happy Shoe Gal :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Really think I need to tackle my weight more seriously in the New Year though. From the first post in this diary I have lost 3lbs in 11 months - and feel that I have been dieting all year :mad: I suspect that I have probably lost all the weight in my target but it's always 3lbs off, 3lbs on again - and so on!!! Not sure what the answer is but I have to find one. Have been trying clothes on for Christmas social stuff - and I am, if I'm honest, crossing the line from 'needs to lose a few pounds' to 'fat'!

I hear you on the weight loss.

Way way back, one of my reasons for starting the hideous clothes challenge was because I had so many clothes I couldnt fit into anymore. That was nearly 2 years ago now, & although I cant remember how much I weighed then, I bet it was less than I do now, how rubbish am I

Back on the exercise as of monday ...
