    I would love to be debt free in December too, although the closer it gets the less likely it looks :(, obviously I wont know for definate until December so I will just have to keep plodding until then.

    Had a great time at the Zoo yesterday, it's not a massive place at all but there is more than enough to keep you occupied for a whole afternoon. Had a voucher for DD so it only cost £17 for me and OH and he paid so it cost me nothing :T. We did buy some drinks and toys for the kids which came to about £13 but I didn't think it was too bad.

    Just got into work and my two colleagues have told me they dont wan't to walk today, I feel like it's mutiny on the bounty :(. I might still go alone as I weighed in today and have lost a total of 2lbs since I first weighed in :T. Got to go and pick up two new custom tanks tonight but i have already paid for them, I will just give him a little something for his time. :)

    Nice lay in tomorrow I think and working Satuday night, my DMP payment hasn't updated yet but it will be good to see a reduction :D

    I think you should definitely still go walking - you'll feel better for it and then they'll feel bad for being lazy!

    Well done on the 2lbs :T

    Well done on the weightloss :j it's really good!

    When I started running this year the hardest thing for me was going when my running buddies pulled out. (we're all lab based, so it can be hard to predict whether you can take a long lunch for running!) In the end I told myself that I wasn't going to improve if I only went out once a week with the running club, so started going alone if necessary, and it helped me get in the habit of regular running :)

    Hope the Thai food was yummy, it's my fave! We had prawn green curry for tea on Thursday, but it's not the same as going to a restaurant.

    Well done on the weightloss hun. I only get half hour lunch and i used to eat for ten mins and then leave the office for a walk, i would walk for ten mins and then walk back the way i came. I should start that again. I just end up finding there is always something i fancy doing online!

    I need to start trying harder! x

    Good Morning All....

    I woke up feeling great this morning, am hoping the effect doesn't run out too quickly! The Thai was AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZINGGGGGGGGGGG, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum :D. We have eaten there once before and it takes a while to get your food but you can tell everything is freshly cooked. We had a plate of mixed starters and then I had garlic and pepper chicken with coconut rice, I could eat it all again this morning :rotfl:. It only cost me 50p as I paid for parking and OH refused to let me pay for anything else :o, it's so sweet of him but I wish he would take even a tenner, I feel so guilty that he keeps stumping up cash. I might drag him to the cinema tomorow as my treat.

    I felt so tired when we got home that I ended up falling asleep in OH's arms an he had to try and wiggle into bed behind me because I was snoring my head off! Slept for alsmot 12 hours and woke up feeling alive (for once). Just put some washing on and had a quick tidy up, am working tonight and there is Karaoke on, no idea how amusing/awful it's going to be :rotfl:. Am looking forward to no work tomorrow and not having to clock watch to make sure I am there on time etc. Next week at No 1 job will be very busy and I am off Friday as my mum is going to Las Vegas for 5 days on a hen do so I'm taking DD out for the day.

    Just off to do scratchy, hope everyone has a good weekend :T

    We live opposite a pub which always has events on at the weekend. I can cope with the bands, open mic nights, Elvis tribute nights (on Valentines Day :rotfl:) etc, but on Friday they started karaoke at about 630 and it went on til 1am :eek: DH insisted he would die from heat exhaustion if we shut the windows, so we had to put the tv on almost full blast to be able to hear anything over the tuneless wailing and shouting! I don't think there was a single person all night who could stick to a tune! Roll on moving day!
