    Best of luck with that moneyfordreams, why do we work so hard losing weight and then let it creep back on :o

    Not sure I will bother keeping a diary on the health board, I've already had a bit of a hammering as I should'nt wear Lycra when overweight :rotfl:

    Ive just made some spinach and leek veggie bean burgers for dinner, day one sorted :D

    Occasionally, usually I plan the kids and dhs meals and I have a salad, then some toast later.......

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Ah very romantic :smileyhea (I'd personally make my dh wait while I looked at shoes :D)

    Just finished the ironing, I'm ahead of the game so far this week, egg salad for lunch ready in the fridge, leftover veggie burgers and spinach for dinner. Blimey I'm a diet bore already :o

    I've had a shocking and lovely surprise tonight - my 2 sons have bought me a concert ticket to see a band we like for this Thursday as a Mother's Day present :eek: IT WAS THEIR OWN IDEA :eek: it's the same band I bought them tickets for for Xmas and suggested I get myself one too and they both said " er no you're alright thanks mum" :rotfl: they must have mellowed since then :D

    Glad to hear from today you are going to plan your meals. That will be a big step towards not eating things that are quick, easy and probably less good for you.

    Concert tickets sound like a fantastic Mother's Day gift. :)

    I don't do nice shoes as I have very awkward feet (and poor balance!), but DH and I always admire them in the IC shop in Brighton. He always complains that men's clothing and shoe choices are so boring compared to what women can wear (I think I'm disappointment in that regard, as I'm very much a jeans and jumper girl!).

    What a lovely thought from your boys NG!

    Well you need to get him back to the shop then as they do men's shoes too :D

    Exhausting day today, I left work early feeling quite rough, probably lack of sleep due to the dog waking me up the last two nights because of the wind outside, have spent the evening on the sofa looking at all the shoes I will buy when mf to cheer myself up.

    Food wise I've been good today and no alcohol again, too tired to get up to get anything :rotfl:

    Ps frugal wells - well done making the overpayments , do you have a diary?
