    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    Just had a seriuously frustrating shopping trip :mad: Didn't see anything I liked that would fit/suit me - and everything that would fit me looked so frumpy :mad: Came back empty handed though so I suppose that was a good thing!

    Have got to get to grips with dieting now - I am embarassed by the way I look :o Have several dinner events with work this week so won't be able to diet seriously but I intend to at least stop picking between meals and be sensible at lunchtimes. Then the real onslaught can start from next Saturday :D

    Hi Sweetie, & Welcome Back :j

    I have really missed you & it's good to hear that you've been busy & getting some free corporate food - very MSE ;)

    F* Fantastic news at paying off Barclaycard :A I'm so inspired I might have to go & make another payment myself :rotfl:.

    I've managed to lose the 2lbs I put back on but not sure if I will manage to lose that last one. Was doing fine until I had lunch with my aunt today & it involved mackerel, new potatoes, green beans & trifle which I have never liked, but somehow managed to eat anyway :o
