They are for gifts and maybe some jam and chutney to sell at work if anyone wants to buy any that is

Maybe too late for this this year, but could you make lots of hampers and sell them at Christmas fetes next year? My neighbour has been making Christmas decorations for a few months now and has been doing Christmas fetes and has made a nice little sum out of that this year. I think there would be a Market for hand made bath bombs, salts etc.

Good news today as I took my measurements and another half inch has disappeared from my chest, hips, and thighs

Yippee!

At least that's some cheering up news for me and the weightloss programme is going really really well.

Not much else to report apart from used up more items for the toilettries thread - meaning more stocks are about to be opened and on their way to being used up.

My mini wooden scoops arrived today after being ordered last night ready for the salt making this weekend and for the presentation jars. They're so cute!

Ran tonight and really enjoyed it - was the final set of 3 at the quickest interval. One down and 2 to go and then it leave me with an hour run for the first time in a couple of months. Will be interesting to see how this goes compared to 2 months ago, hoping its better and I think it will.

Salt arrived today to start the bathsalts. Will make a start later on and see how these go, ready for the next lot. Exciting, have never done this before.

Found the PS3 game at a much lower price and with free del - just hoping for a voucher code to appear in my inbox to make it even cheaper.

By Saturday should have nearly finished the present shopping, will have ordered the game then off to look for some pjs and all is nearly done - phew!

Weight stayed the same this week, still have the final 2lb to go then see if I can get a bit lower. Anyway, did lose some more inches and this is the total lost so far
Waist loss 3"
Chest loss 3.5"
Hips loss 6"
Thigh loss 2"
Calf loss 2.5"
Upper arm loss 1.5"
Total = 18.5" lost in 7mths

Oh happy days, as I try an avoid the copious boxes of mince pies at work!

2hrs walking today with the trot to uni and back

Went over the kcal allowance with a starbucks hot chocolate - 400+kcal! Oh dear!

Bought a new eye cream with adv card points and a new redness concealer after my haircut when I found out they had reduced the price even more for a student discount - nice surprise and a good laugh in the hairdressers about life

So I now have a shorter haircut again at last after a long break in getting it cut. Looking forward to going out for a few drinks after uni tomorrow which should be a good laugh. looks like I'll have to find something suitable to wear - maybe a nice day dress? or casual skirt and sparkly jumper? Will see in the morning

Having to chase up part of an order that's gone missing unfortunately so I think I'd better get that game ordered asap

So far today I have been for a run - went really well and I enjoyed it for a change! Been shopping, made soup from bottom of the fridge into something gorgeous - yummy!

Loaf is baking now and I'm about to bake the tea loaf for tomorrow before starting some cleaning. Then its dog walk time, bit more cleaning and then a flop down to read some papers while Saturday night tv is on.

Also need to do some fabbing of skin and nails later too.
