    turfy, that is my worry too - trying to maintain the momentum. Am hoping that the motivation of a new wardrobe will be sufficient to sustain the weight loss. I have made a list of what I need, and another list of what I want, and have started to keep a gentle eye out on prices etc.....

    40SM - hello! Hope you have a good day. Neither my shower nor my coffee has yet kicked in, and my desk greets me with mountains of work, all with deadlines, that need me to get my act together! The children are with their dad tonight, though, so at least I only have myself to be concerned with when I get home.

    Well done on making the lists Hypno. I've got to start the lists too. Plus got to restock practically from scratch on groceries when we get back, so got to do that too. Might do a Tesco online shop for basics, but the one the deliveries come from there isn't a good Tesco's so limited range of items, will probably depend on if there's a good code available at the time, so not sure yet.

    I thought if I made a list of what is actually needed, then I wouldn't get carried away with buying things that seem like a good idea but are actually a false economy.

    So, I have sections for:
    • work
    • casual
    • shoes
    • skiing
    • accessories
    And it all looks quite workable. Some things don't depend on weight loss, but some things need to be bought only when I have reached a sustainable weight - so it means that I can buy along the way and spread the cost a little, but still with that "proper" shopping trip at the end.

    Morning Hypno,

    I too am in the Slug corner-back to bed for me I think...

    Got massive list of things to do but too tired to start.

    ooh, if only!

    I hope you manage to get a couple of extra hours energy-creating sleep bunny! If you find you have some spare (either sleep, or energy) please feel free to throw it my way!

    I am trying to make as much money right now as possible as officially 'unemployed' as of now. Started as a Cambridge Consultant, back doing Vie parties and have been selling quite a few bits on eBay to bring in extra cash til get a pay cheque.

    Didnt go to bed til after 1.30am and was up at half 5-officially shattered. Kids back in school today so can catch up on housework and other bits-another Vie party tomorrow night after full day of school trip with DD-and really not much time now to sort holiday stuff out!

    Nap needed...
