    Of course you have something you can wear. Its just going to take a bit of imagination. Not every fella is going to turn up in a tux with a martini glass in hand whilst not every female will be earing a bikini although I bet the fellas are hoping that they do. Surely you can come up with something from the things you already have. Miss MoneyPenny was a secretary can you do boring skirt suit and heels?

    Diabetic Chocolate works wonders for weight loss, its 90% laxative as my step mother discovered one day by accident.

  • FF - Thanks for reminding me about the Ebay! I'm gonna get on there now, only got a couple of things to go on there but every little helps!! :j

    :rotfl:@ moo2moo! I might just have to try that diabetic choccy!! Weight watchers meeting tomo so I can see if I'm actually starting to make any progress :rolleyes: Unfortunately the party hostess is after everyone in the glam look & the Miss Moneypenny style just won't cut it! I remain hopeful for getting into that dress though - even if I have to cut off my circulation for a few hours! :D

  • Hello all!

    Well my weigh in at fat club went well on Monday, lost 2.5lbs so was very happy! But managed to get back to my usual meeting tonight & have managed to lose another 1 lb since Monday! :j So very pleased, have now lost a stone since I started weight watchers! Have definitely taken the scenic route but am getting there! :rotfl:

    Just over 24hours til payday! And I know exactly where every penny of it is going already! Lol - at least I have structure I guess :rolleyes:

    Going to look for some recipes & meal ideas tomorrow so I can do a meal plan for the next week and hopefully keep the food shopping costs down.

    Night night :)

  • Hello everyone out there in diary land!

    I have been very slack this week & not kept up to date with writing things down :o

    Had a good week though - although pretty bad in terms of dosh and waistline! It was a friend's birthday yesterday so ended up spending almost £40 that I wasn't planning on! Was a good day though, pub lunch, bowling and a few drinkies in the evening, plus I bought her a bottle of plonk so all in all not too bad. Got my 007 party tomorrow though so more money and more drink!

    I am being very good with writing down everything I'm spending though so am keeping a close eye on it. I joined the £365 in 365 challenge as well which is going pretty good so far. I have paid up til the end of the month (plus about 2 quid extra) which is going into paying off my smaller overdraft so that should be gone by the end of the year :T I also have a mystery shop for that bank where I need to make a deposit into the account so rather than moving it back over as I would normally do, I'm going to leave it in there & hope I can get away with not needing it this month & then I can be a step closer to paying it off :D

    Hopefully get to finish work a bit early today so gonna spend the evening sorting the arrangements for tomo night & making a list of other jobs that need doing. I love being more organised! :j

    Have a good day all! x

  • Hey all,

    Just on here to have a general moan with nothing to do with MSE!

    Split up with my OH yesterday so am feeling pretty emotional at the mo :cry: We've been together for what would have been 13 months tomo, but we were also together on and off for a year before that. He's due home from America in 2 weeks and I am totally gutted. I thought we were gonna make it :(

  • Hi everyone,

    Well I've been crying pretty much non-stop since Sunday and think the tears are finally starting to slow down now. Am still totally gutted & plotting ways to get him back ( :rotfl:) but feel a bit better today.

    Maybe its because I've gone off the rails a bit so have spent more money than I should and have been eating and drinking loads of cr*p! That's the only good bit about splitting up with someone!

    I know it's only a short-lived pleasure though and i'll soon feel guilty when I add up how much I've spent unneccessarily and see what damage i've done to my weight loss! Weight watchers is not gonna be fun tonight :eek:
    2019 will be my year!!
