Hi all

Ziggles, lovely that you had a good weekend and that you bought some boots that feel comfie and you enjoy wearing.

Have to admit, I don't remember the last time I wore a dress - what was the one you tried on like?

this is the beaut...maybe if i lose the rest of the 17lbs before end of the year a dress lke this will be my reward. I fit the XL but the squishy bits are too obvious fo me... dress made from wierd fleecy type thinnish material.

Hi all

Bluejeans, glad you decided to join in the challenge. It's always easy to find something to do because it doesn't literally mean you have to find something to de-clutter so many other things you can let go of just for one day.

Yesterday I didn't eat any bread (big addiction) and also worked on some things that in the past caused me huge panic attacks and procrastination.

Ziggles - I like the flower design. I'd also have to lose some pounds to feel comfie if it's clingy.

NGlady - lovely to hear from you - and you are so loved up too!

I hope you're not saying that a minor thing like a password (set another one or find a different username) is stopping you from giving a run down of all your expenses on Saturday! tut tut you know how much I look forward to those lists

I hope everyone else is ok.

i just saw the ad on tely aout 20% off at Dotty p's tomorrow...it is going to take everything i have in me NOT to go at lunch time or after work...i want a dress!!!! and pretty much anything else if it's 20% off:o

Amiee

Not had a chance to read all the thread so apologies if it's been discussed, but does anyone use the freezer method for CCs? I don't have any at the moment, just my debit card, but need one, so have applied and been accepted for one. I was thinking of the trick of putting it in a water filled ice cream tub in the freezer so I have to wait until it thaws to use it and this in theory gives me time to change my mind!

Am I fooling myself?!

Anglea

Hi all

Ziggles, I wonder if you'll get carried away or sensible?

Hi Aimee, welcome to the group. Re your freezer idea, even if you change your mind while the ice is thawing does that mean you will refreeze it straight away?

ziggles50

Hehe Anglea- very pragmatic you are...i love it!:D
Hi Aimee- Suggest giving it to someone who you have to give full and proper justification for needing it. Also do not under any circumstances scratch the PIN thing (if you haven't already)
Good luck.
I am planning on seeing how i feel in the morning- i really wanna go buy something but really folks i cannot afford it. I am hoping i will 'forget' to take my card in the morning as i don't keep it in my purse for obvious reasons:o
Lord help me i can feel the urge right now...what a mess i am:p
Night all i shall report back about my bad self tomorrow:cool:

Anglea

Ziggles, good luck, you know you have to report back here don't you?

Hi Everyone, I have been very good have not bought myself a thing, since coming on this site :j just got to keep it up, or be sensible when I do need something.

ZIGGLES, yes we are expecting a full report

I have a 40% off voucher, for Bon Marche', it runs out on Sunday (sun inc), I would have done some Xmas shopping with it if I had had the spare cash ? my fault i do not, another lesson learned.

If anyone would like to use it and can send a PM with your address, I will get it in the last post today, 1st class, thats 5pm at my local PO. Thats not good of me is it ? me not spending it but giving it to yous to spend :rotfl:.
