    TK Maxx have some good deals on trainers sometimes. You can get really good brand names for peanuts sometimes. I got my New Balance runners in there and they are fab. You don't want to injure yourself. :)

    Sportsdirect also have some good deals, I got my asics shoes reduced for £25 a couple of months ago. Check out the website. I know that debt busting is more important but take care of your feet-I had 4 months of hell with my heel after using non cushioned shoes.
  • good point kav, definatley look after number 1 :D

  • Thank you everyone - we have a TK Maxx locally so I'll be popping there tomorrow, I thought this group was meant to help you stop spending not encourage it!:rotfl::rotfl:Gives me and the baby something to do tomorrow:D

    £83 a week is more than we spend on food! Not surprised your sticking with it. I'm thinking 4 stone but as the weight comes off I might reduce it depending on how I feel I look. Need to tone up alot so the actual weight might not be as important.

    Oh my God!! I don't know whether to thank you or tell you off - just had a look and there are so many trainers that I like and I've not even looked over £25! You've either just saved me or cost me a fortune:D Thank you

    Hello!!

    Had quite a few posts to catch up on so hoping i manage to remember everything!

    Pleased to hear that baby likes the jumperoo more now, I have some great pics of my daughter asleep and dribbling in hers when she was little :rotfl:. The weight maintenance was a brilliant result for that week - at least you didn't gain!

    I reckon I need to lose about 4 stone as well, maybe I will get round to it one day ;). Hope all is well anyway, I'll try and keep more up to date for the rest of this week :D x

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D
