    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Red, not satisfied with just tackling the moneysaving, you give up smoking, want to lose weight, de-clutter AND decorate. I wish I had your energy. Good luck and you know where to come for support x

    How much have you lost so far Taxi?

    I was thinking that it would be good to try and get this eating thing under control as well as giving up being a 'fag ash lil' at the same time, especially since I gained so much so quickly!

    9 1/2 lbs in the last 2 weeks.

    Why are we never happy as we are? I've worried about my weight practically all my life. I keep telling myself it's baby fat but at 38 it's starting to wear a bit thin now :) Good luck on the weightwatchers girls x

    Just checking cc statements, and A&L credit card has a rewards thing on it, which of course I never noticed. Anyway, I had 8000 points and have just redeemed them for some New Look vouchers which I will use to get the lovely sandels I eyed up last night online! Now how MSE is that - sandels for debt!

    Yeah there are but I am not sure I can spend the CC Vouchers on line or if they will even arrive on time as the current deal runs out on Monday I think!
