    Got up early, did the hoovering and mopped the floors. I am going to sew for the rest of the day.
  • You are good doing real housework at this time. I am only up because of the kids.

    Shame you missed your meeting. You must be looking forward to seeing how well you are doing. Sounds like the diet itself is going great.

    Thanks both, I do want to know as I genuinely have not cheated. I don't feel one scrap different but it is only three weeks and I have so much to lose I think it will take a couple of stones to see a difference. I am aiming to lose two stones before I go to Malaysia. If I don't find a meeting I am going to Boots in the early morning before it is busy.

    Productive morning

    I am going to make a whole wardrobe to take with me on holiday for my god-daughter, you cant eat and sew at the same time!
  • well done on the sewing!!
    will be good to hear how you are doing with WW Ill bet you have done great and certainly sounds like you have been pushing along with healthy eating which can only pay off in the end!! :)

    Hello TYO, nice to see you. The new WW diet is really easy to stick to (I better have lost some weight, I feel like I am eating loads) and for the first time ever I am not trying for a huge loss quickly. It will be at least eighteen months of dieting to get to goal (only Taxi knows the true weight loss figure) so I have to change as I want it to be part of my life, not something that stops me being able to socialise. I will be VERY happy with 1-2 lbs per week, hopefully that way I wont need expensive skin removal surgery at the end.

    Lovely dinner with friends last night £33. NSD today I am not leaving this flat for any reason.

    Sunday, no spend day.
    Monday coffee £2.10, milk and veg £7.13.

    Early night tonight, two more days and I move into my house. Carpets all fitted today, my Mum says it is looking good.

    Weight Watchers, no cheating yet.

    Tuesday, coffee£2.10, pate, fruit and bread £7.12.
    I completely messed up moving my money around, what an idiot, I paid one credit card off twice and my mortgage payment went out twice, it is sorted now but looking at a statement where you are £2150 overdrawn at the beginning of the month is a poor start to the day. still it is all
    Ok now. I have paid for my holiday in slump sum rather than 0 % it due to my poor managing but hey ho in the end it means Ihaven't added to my debts just my grey hair!

    I am moving in to my house tomorrow so I will be off-line for a few days. I hope that it goes well and I can get a few rooms straight.

    And the spelling etc. in the post above shows that I am really not that good on my IPAD, still don't love it.

    And another thing I know it is my own fault but why can FD transfer my payment to Egg on the same day that I make it but it will take 5 to 10 days for Egg to credit me back the money that I overpaid? Today's big question, shall I close the Egg card and get down to one credit card? I am thinking yes but is it better to have both Visa and Mastercard "in case, in case". Anyone got any advice?
