    Oh, you're definitely at least on the subs bench, hypno - well done you. I had a look at one thread over the weekend, and got totally confused by it. In fact, I might need to start thinking of myself as a beginner, and do some new offers rather than reloads - I'm stopping dead just the posts on GIOL, let alone reading the T&Cs at the betting sites :o

    Weight loss grid done - 42 squares so 7 x 6. Each square worth half a lb, so when I have coloured in two rows, that is half a stone. In each "half stone square" is an incentive.
    • 1st half stone - new handbag
    • stone - LK bennett shoes (expensive but sooooo georgous)
    • 1 1/2 stone (target weight) shopping spree for new clothes because nothing will fit me at that point :)
    I do reserve the right to buy anything that I need in between, but they will be "essentials" rather than "ooh, clothes shopping" as I quite fancy a bit of a girly shopping treat with DD when I am at goal, as it is something I have never really had chance to do.

    Obviously, everything will be done as MSE as possible - for example, I can choose and try on shoes in the shop, then order them through quidco.....and my shopping spree will be funded with money made the MSE way :)

    Jane Norman don't cater for slightly overweight pear shaped women approaching 40.....so not something I investigate too often :o:rotfl:

    I will always be a pear.....a slightly smaller pear, granted, but always a pear.

    Been to WW and lost a whopping 4.5lbs :j:j:j

    That's an incentive to carry on.......plus, 9 squares can be coloured in :T
