    Happy Monday everyone:)

    I feel a bit uneasy about work at the moment, lots of unsettling things happening and a phone call last night that has upset me a bit from a past colleague.

    Never mind, keep calm and carry on I guess:cool:

    I have thai rice with jumbo prawns to take for lunch........scrummy!

    Hope everyone has a good week, would someone please post a dance of the day:)
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Bit scared- :o:o ......As I am a DFW , I wondered if there was room for one more on this thread because I would like to lose about 5 stone and to quote Judi24

    "Hi All - I see you are all well into your challenges - but could I please join in too?? I need to loose about 5 stone in total but a target of 28lb would be good at the moment - I am planning to start WW tomorrow - but without going to a club! I just need some moral support! I also need to start exercising so going to sort out a plan for that tonight - I really struggle to fit it in with the kids, work, home etc - but I need to make a real effort as I feel horrible!!!!"

    It was as if I had written it and very spooky:eek:
    I'm wondering if its a sign? what do I have to do ? help! :) cos for me losing weight would be so :cool:
    May you fill up the great clutterbucket of life and may all of your leaks be in cheese sauce:D

    Not doing good today - no motivation so no exercise, and not feeling too chipper (that's the recurrent bit flaring I see - pretty depressed TBH) so the eating is out of the window too. However, my comfort food for today is meatballs with bacon and baked beans.
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    2 standard sized wardrobes - both full, 1 I can now just about move the hangers :o
    A few bits shoved on the shelf above the clothes :o
    The floor of each wardrobe has a pile of clothes on it:o
    A large drawer shoved full of tops all around a size 20:o
    A few bits in a drawer under the bed :o
    Some hangers have 2 items on them :o

    AND I now have a charity bag (the type that comes through the door) full of castoffs. :o

    To compare how few bits fitted me 5 weeks ago and how much stuff I have, I had 2 work skirts and 1 pair of work trousers. I had about 3, maybe 4 work tops. I then had 3 pairs of casual cropped trousers and 2 or 3 tunic tops for wearing in the evening/weekends/supermarket etc

    Don't even ask about what's on the coat pegs in the hall...........

    When I went through my wardrobes back in March/April sometime (when I noticed that many of my maHOOsive clothes collection was uncomfortable to wear) I bagged up 7 dustbin sacks for donation. And I still have overflowing wardrobes :eek: Still, at least those too-tight trousers were no longer there to taunt me....and I also have a good excuse to buy more when I hit my target :D
    he said a lot of other stuff as well but probably not enough spades to go around and I am so angry with him at the moment I really need the spade all to myself . I need to keep focused, I am not going to eat but this is a prime time I would have done in the past.

    Karma will !!!!!! in his cornflakes, my lovely, never fear :D

    Sorry I'm a little late on parade but I rarely come online at weekends, however I am pleased to report that I managed -5lbs last week :j I realise I will probably not keep up this rate of loss, but it's a confidence booster nevertheless :D
