    Hypno, just got an email from Premier Lodge, saying they've still got 650,000 £29 rooms available for the spring and summer. So could be another site to check when booking.
  • I too have lots of work deadlines to meet this week:(.... So why am I on here now ??:o

    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.

    I like that method!

    I've been running about like a mad thing, prepping the house - estate agent has been and gone, and I wish I had another year to prep, but life isn't like that, so I'll make the best of it. Hope things are going okay - I can definitely identify with the sluggishness and the need to wake up

    Hi Verbatim! [STRIKE]Probably[/STRIKE] Haywards Heath - my own property is in need of total renovation, and there I can buy a (fairly) similar one thats already been done up, plus buy nearer to the station, and within walking distance of the town centre, which I'm desperate for, as I'm far, far out in the sticks right now.

    Hiya
    I've just managed to catch up with your new thread inbetween dropping DD off at orchestra and picking her up again. I've been doing ww since January - you're right about the 'when it clicks it clicks'. I did really well for the first month but then I started averaging about a pound every two weeks. I've got back on track now and your tips are spot on! It really is about adapting it so you don't feel you're missing out on the things you want.

    Eeekkkk! Is that the time.....got to run - need to pick children up from various places! I should be stick thin the amount of running around I do (maybe I shouldn't run around with a mars bar in my mouth!!! ) xx
