    Hi everybody - sorry I have been missing, thanks for your concern :A

    Nothing exciting to report - just a really busy week at work, including working today :(

    Have put 1 lb back on :o, have done no exercise :o - just work, work, work!

    Got another 2 weeks of being busy then it should calm down a bit, and I have been promised some help from a new starter who will be joining the department in a few weeks :)

    As work is taking up so much time at the moment I am not setting myself any other targets at the moment - will try to eat sensibly and keep up the 'glamourizing' ;)

    My handbag arrived and is lovely - black patent, slouchy with a chain handle. £25 in the sale so not too naughty!

    Haven't quite made my budget this month, put my Mum's birthday present on my credit card yesterday. Bearing in mind that I haven't been out at all this month my thinking is that my budget was maybe too ambitious so will probably rethink for February - I still want to keep my 'having a life' philosophy :)
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Have missed you soooo much :cry: & fear not oh fabulous one, I have regained 2lbs :doh:



    Glad to hear you'll be getting some help at work & am so with you on the glamourizing - havent done any exercise other than smoothing on the gradual tan & doing my nails :rotfl:

    I've also been practising walking in the gorgeous 3 1/2 inch heels :eek: I bought for work, by the time the weather is warm enough to not wear boots I should be ready :D

    Hey SG!

    Hope you are well, i'm back and posting....well will be once I catch up with everyone elses diaries today. Day off and I WILL get round to posting on everyones!!!

    Well done on the weight loss and don't blame you for not setting any targets whilst so busy -it's not worth it and if you are anything like me I just get down when I don't achieve them? Think you gave me great advice many a times 'baby steps'....that is def the way forward and if you manage to lose 3lbs per month this year that's over 2 stone by the end of the year, perhaps think of it that way?

    Will keep catching up now as finally sorted after xmas, new year and manic work.... xxxx

    Hi

    Just catching up after another manic work week! Have worked long hours again this week so pretty much everything else has been ignored!

    Anyway, it's payday and I have paid off my Barclaycard :j:j including a couple of extra bits I had put on it! I am determined to keep it clear until my hols now - and am now going to target throwing any extra money at my Next account. There will be no council tax this month as I pay over 10 months so will pay that towards it

    Have stuck to £365 on 365 days too, will be a nice Christmas pot if I can keep going. Have been so busy I've hardly spent any money either so that's good - but no cash has meant no coins for piggies!

    Weightloss is non-exisitent - in fact I have put a pound on :o Not really focusing on it at the moment, have had a couple of 'corporate' dinners this week and have been grabbing food when I can as I've been so busy. Got another week of events this week at work and then it should all calm down a bit and give me a chance to focus on other things

    Need to get some shopping done, tidy my apartment, do some washing and loads of other domestic typoe stuff before I go out to a dinner tonight, will catch up soon :D
