    AIMS/CHALLENGES.
    BY JUNE – Moving out funds £542.33/£700
    House Deposit savings: £8881.76/£15000
    [Emergency savings: £3.50/£5000]
    Wedding Savings: £1653.47/£5000
    Lose 25lbs – 7/25lbs

    Just updated my totals at the front of my diary. Not doing too badly, I don't think. We do need to crack on with the wedding savings though, so I need to look at more areas where we can cut back...

    I need to stop eating rubbish.

    b - shreddies with blueberries and skimmed milk
    l - greek salad, banana, bite of cake
    t - chicken, chips and beans :o

    Exercise - 45 mins of hockey which apparently has burnt off 374 cals :)

    Enjoy the weekend SF, hopefully you will catch up on some of your sleep.

    I find I have greater problems losing weight when I get too little sleep...mind you, I am having problems losing weight full stop - and that's what it has done at the moment, stopped! :o

    Must make a concerted effort this next week. See if you can lose more weight than me in the next week SF! Hopefully we can both shed a bit in the coming weeks. We're off on holiday in 10 weeks...surely you and I can lose something in that time..apart from our sanity!!

    Oops, sorry, already lost mine long ago :rotfl:

    Hi sweetie

    Well done you for cracking on with the applications. You will get another job lined up in no time. ;)
    7lbs lost is brilliant just think how many packs of butter that is, yuk you would eat all those in one go.

    Your savings are fantastic.

    Well done on the hockey calories and helps to relieve the stress too. You sound so much more positive, that a girl. Keep going chick. Have a brill weekend too.

    Catch you later xx

    Thanks guys :)

    We went to look at wedding cakes yesterday - got to try some samples :D and we ordered ours! So that's another thing to tick off the list :)

    Food has not been that good this weekend :p

    brunch - bread sticks and hummous
    late lunch (3pm) - roast pork with cabbage, small yorkie, carrots, peas and roasted parsnips. Left the roast pots though, banoffee cheesecake (sooooo good).

    Tomorrow will be better, promise... :o

    We've gone for a 3 tier cake, bottom layer fruit, middle layer victoria sponge and top layer chocolate. Yum! :D

    Sounds like a great idea...something for everyone!

    I seem to be almost full time this coming week (normally very part-time) ...invigilating all over the place....I am going to be cream crackered by Friday night! I will have to keep thinking about the extra pennies to keep me going! :D

    Have a good week SF, good luck with all your applications.
