Stealing an idea from another thread :rolleyes: - good things in 2009

• I have stayed employed
• my debt has not increased, has in fact reduced by about £4k
• had 2 trips to Spain
• I live in a lovely apartment
• I have good friends and family
• I am healthy
• 2010 will be even better

Off to get some stuff done, my parents are coming to lunch. Catch up later

My BB money has been credited back to Barclaycard (£29.20) so am going to make a £7 payment to bring my balance down to £100 (would be fab if I could clear it by the end of Jan :rolleyes:)

Looks like the BB loophole has been closed but I made £21 profit so nice 'free' money

What's BB money? Well done though, that's brilliant!

Hi Shoe Gal.... Happy New Year and Happy New Diary :beer:

I like the idea of keeping things simple, that's how I like to do things

:eek: to the B'card payment...that's brilliant :beer: Mr B Card won't have been too impressed though... Stuff him

I love your list of positives for 2009, great idea... I might steal that from you :whistle:

Have a good day :A

Pretty lazy day (it's the snow :rolleyes:) Managed to take the Christmas decs down and tidy apartment, and do some washing but not much else!

Have eaten reasonably well though, the dieting has to start properly on Monday. I am ashamed to say that I am now actually fat, I have moved on from 'needs to lose a few pounds' It really is time to get serious now, no fad diets, just slow and steady healthy eating

On the plus side, the last 2 days have been NSD's and I have moved money into my 365 account

Hey Shoe Gal,

That's a great list of positives for 2009 & you should be proud of them


I am right next to you on the slow & steady healthy eating plan. I'm setting myself simple & easily achievable goals of just 5lb per month.

I've spent the last couple of days ensuring that all tempting & potentially fattening food is gone.

All good advice says that we didnt put on this weight in a couple of weeks, so cant expect to lose it in that time :rolleyes:. Also it appears that slower steady weight loss is easier to keep off.

Of course, exercise is tantamount in all this.

We will do this
