    It is very hard to leave things, so well done for waiting for the right time!

    Your doing fab on the weight loss, will you allow yourself some slack over the next few days?

  • Oh yes Woo, I will eat for Europe!

    No weigh in for 2 weeks, today I managed to loss 1lb from last week (I weighed myself!) so I am happy. If, when I am weighed officially on 06/01, I manage to stay the same I will be happy. A loss will be a bonus!

    Leaving it means a good Xmas Day, raising it will mean a carp day - so a no brainer really, just need to watch my wine intake!

    Sorry to hear you have been having a hard time, Reddie. :( And for what it's worth, you are better to wait to speak to your sister, else you could get accused of ruining Christmas.

    And well done on getting into size 12s! :T Here's to being able to breathe in them! :rotfl:

    Staying the same on official weigh in will be a right result, do a few long dog walks and you'll be fine! x

    Thing is you know that it will be in the back of your mind all the time. so i agree about the wine, otherwise your subconcience (oops can't think how to spell it), will find a way for that problem to slip out round the alcohol.

    good luck with christmas,and not being too frozen

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
  • Oh Chev you are so right - I must be careful!

    A postively baltic -16 right now! Will it ever stop. Snow expected on Boxing Day, ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I am so over this! It's the ice inside the windows that gets to me.

    All credit cards paid for the month, although I got paid early I wanted to get those out of the way so I can relax.

    So back to broke, but sure that's fine and normal.

    Today, have to take table to mum's, deliver pressies to our best friends and their family (of which there are zquillions) and catch up with best friend, who still needs any prayers on offer.

    I should clean the house for SIL coming on Tuesday but sure that can wait for another day.

    Hope you all have a stress free day!

  • Not only are we married to the same man, we may also have the same sister ;) No matter what I do, it is wrong so I just keep my head down and so long as my mom is happy I ignore her - there s enough going on without me wasting my energy feeling bad about her!
    As for size 12 - I have distant memories of wearing that size ;) well done you!!!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts,
