    Today hasn't been a NSD for me today - been out for lunch with some friends :) had a great day! Talked about wedding things too which is good :D although, feeling really fat today :( my weight aim for my wedding is 8 and a half stone which means I don't have that much to lose, but am really feeling low in confidence at the moment :(

    Morning BDINI
    Glad all the [STRIKE]nagging [/STRIKE]oops, supporting is finally paying off:D:D. No need to be hard on yourself, you've done brilliantly this month in view of the massive amount of DIY you've done. Huge pat on the back for you:T

    In my book that is absolutely fine. No treats and a panda - what more could you possibly want:D:D

    Have a lovely day x

    Awww thanks Spoon, you are a star!!! :A

    Glad to report that i only bought the paper & paste as promised, so unlucky NSD 13 today which means i have to have another one tomorrow so i can move onto a luckier number (well any excuse to stop myself spending :rotfl:). Don't think it will be an issue as i'm painting the ceilings so with all the drips i'm bound to make i won't be fit to go anywhere!!!:eek:

    Random question..........

    When do you all think about putting your central heating on? Seeing as we having this chilly snap I was just wondering. Me so far have just put on big cardie and put the sofa throw round my tootsies if they get cold, as I absolutely refuse to put the heating on! I also refuse to put it on for most of September!

    Also what is the best way to control your heating (I have always wondered this) keep it on constant but very low? have it on a timer???

    Random Looloo

    xx

    In our previous flat I used to have a rule that the heating wasn't to go on until 31st Oct, and went off again on 31st March - though OH would sometimes try and put it on. We had a really warm flat and storage heating which was quite hefty on the electric.

    Me and OH always battle over heating, he likes the house like a sauna and i hate having it on as I have really dry skin and it makes it 100 times worse, plus if its too hot it makes me feel sick. I'd rather have a jumper on and sit snuggled in a blanket, he'd prefer 101 degrees and sitting in shorts :mad::mad:

    ANOTHER :( spend day for me today. Posted my friend's present to Oz (which cost nearly £12 Airmail :eek::eek: I bought her some chocs which really b*ggered up the weight). Also got my caterpillar brows done (£5) and bought some plums from the market for £1.50 (so much nicer than the supermarket ones). I really need to write up my spending diary as I haven't so far this month and am losing track. Need to get another one or two NSD days in, but it won't be tomorrow I don't think which only leaves Sun - Tues....

    Forgot to say Mrsinvisible - well done on paying off your loan and being debt free.... :beer:
