    Not really a plan as such, more a need to get back on track :o I really need to curb my unnecessary spending - Co-op, magazines, work coffees, poor planning!

    I am am definately going to try to be more sensible in September, and keep a spending diary. Nothing but minimum payments this month, and my MOT is due too!

    The other thing I need to get a grip off is dieting and exercise. I have put back on the few pounds I lost and am now back where I was in July :mad: My target for September is to lose 10lbs through sensible eating and exercise. I have bought some Lipobind today so will see if that helps at all

    I am also going to try to keep on top of my housework - daily chores instead of a mad blitz at the weekend

    I am still hoping to change jobs but nothing concrete so far :( Have applied for a couple more over the weekend - but not ones I stand much chance of getting (no harm in trying though)

    And I'm going to be nice to myself and try to glam up a bit. Still feeling a bit down and unloved so hopefully it will give me a bit of a boost :)

    Hello,

    I'm liking your plan to get back on track :D.

    I'm aiming to be super frugal for the next few months so I can just get the debt dealt with & put it in the past along with other bad things.

    I'm also planning to start the new year ( planning ahead ;)) back at my ideal, comfortable weight. I've been playing ping pong with the same 4lbs for months now & it's just getting boring now :mad:.

    So, I need to shed 20lbs by the end of the year. I'm cutting out all the rubbish - will allow a weekly treat - & have just invested in an exercise DVD too. Davina, I'm counting on you :rotfl:.

    Good luck & I will be nagging, encouraging & supporting you all the way. I know you cannot bear the clothes challenge, but could you perhaps just manage it for 3 months to see just how much money you could put towards the debt ?

    Hello,

    I've just had fish & chips for supper ! I'm just hoping that the miles & miles of walking round London have burnt off enough calories to equalize it.

    Diet starts seriously tomorrow ...
