    Thanks for the support everybody - still keeping my fingers crossed :D

    Had a good time last night - and not too spendy :) Nothing much planned for the rest of the weekend - need to do some housework and want to fit in some exercise - but lots of chilling too :D

    Have updated my debt total - slow but steady progress! Put a little mini-target in my signature, need to get back on track and have something to work towards - the full total is too daunting

    Hey Sweetie,

    glad to hear the interview went well & whatever the outcome, the fact that you were asked to attend & that you went is a huge step in the right direction & an achievement in itself :T

    No weight loss here, due to work stress & feeling a bit rubbish I've been back on the caffeine, chocolate & junk diet :mad:.

    Enjoy all your birthday celebrations - cant believe it's come around again so soon - seems like only a few weeks ago you were going off to Spain for the last one :eek:

    Keep up the positivity

    :A

    Quietish weekend after Friday :D Did some housework and managed the gym yesterday!

    Not worrying too much about dieting this week - have loads on so not really the best week to go for it :p

    No news on the interview :(

    Keep positive & just enjoy your week - I'm only a year or so behind you ;)

    I've been good with food & drink today - lots of water, only one coffee & only one glass of wine :D

    Still not heard back from the interview - not looking good :(

    Had a lovely birthday on Thursday - got quite spoilt :)

    Going to start looking at moving options today - a different approach to my finances (cheaper living/travelling costs?) and then birthday lunch with the girlies tomorrow :D

    Hello & a belated Happy Birthday :j

    glad you were spoilt & hope the girlie lunch is equally fun.

    Very positive that you're thinking of a new approach to finances. Sometimes we get so focused on the end result that we completely lose reality of how is the best method for achieving it. Trust me, I know :o.

    Best wishes for a lovely relaxing weekend
