The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

Right, to-do list tonight: Buy Euromillions ticket!

Goodness Dinah, good luck getting the money if the lottery doesn't pay up! Feeling slightly less stressy about our honeymoon as on payday we had £500 left in the joint account without really meaning to, we'd expected about half that so that's good news! Think my payrise and being a little more careful in the supermarket has paid off!

ETA: I miss blogger, will have to read the post tonight!

N.I.M

We could do a pool for all the regulars hanging out here on the euros

Pah to your diet friends, I'm having a Wispa! It makes me laugh some of my FB friends constantly on a diet, they report in saying "Oh no, all my hard work and I put on a pound at SW, right that's it I'm haing a takeaway and eight pints of cider!" and I think, no wonder you never lose any weight!

Oh I know plenty of women like that! What's the point?!

My boss glared at me this morning as we do a weekly weigh-in (I only joined the 'Fat Club' to get a bit of camaraderie going when I was new ) and I've lost half a pound but ate some chocolates that someone gave us last week whilst she was debating over whether to have 1 chocolate or to save her 'Syns' for a biscuit when she got home and she stayed the same weight! I'm going to actually have to start putting in some proper effort to lose more weight though, I have to be back on form for September!

Eeek, have just won a competition on Flickr! Think I've won a digital camera :D:D The weather girl off Look North judged it and said; "Lucy has created a gorgeous golden glow by catching the spring sun shining through the petals of the daffodils. Even more impressive that she had to squat on a roundabout to get the shot while motorists sped past. She has revealed an oasis of natural beauty in an urban location." haha, there were better pics there but he won the winter comp so I guess they couldn't choose him! Oooh maybe I should buy a euromils ticket after all!

Ahh Birdie, just goes to show diets don't work - it's all the denying yourself stuff, too demoralising. Is anyone still doing the shred? Did anyone ever get to the end of it?

Birdie85

Well done Tete! :T You should ask them for a different prize though since the camera you took the winning photo with is probably 5 times as good as the camera they're giving away!

I'm going to restart the Shred, I miss feeling awesome and muscley! I feel quite sad that I'm going to be back to stage one and probably dying half way through when I know what I was capable of before I got married! Might check out some of her other videos too to mix it up a little.

I know I thought it was a bit of an odd prize, but actually my compact digi has got a few marks on the lens so a new one wouldn't go amiss

Awesome and muscley? Wow must be good!

Birdie85

Oh it really is! I could feel the difference for sure, I felt a bit of a six-pack coming in and biceps and my legs were getting really strong too, which was probably a mix of doing the Shred and doing weights at the gym, I could squat OH easily! Not so easy now, I just fall over!

Well done Tete, that is a fantastic photo though, deserved to win.

Well done Tete, it was a gorgeous photo and I especially love the mental image of you squatting in the middle of a busy roundabout

I agree, buy a Euromillions ticket while you're on a winning streak!

I hope you don't have a carbon monoxide poisoning Dinah and NIM! The symptoms make sense, but fingers crossed it's not!

Birdie, I'm planning to get back on the Shred too. I love it when I'm doing it - you definitely notice results quickly! But I've never done it for a full 30 days... Hm... do you feel a challenge coming on? I've got to get in shape for wedding dress shopping in September How are you fixed in July?

Tete_en_l'Air

Ohhh I'd do the shred with you all! Shall we shall we? Is it something I can do in my bedroom though - no jumping about or anything?

And thanks I like the photo but didn't think it particularly had 'merit' or anything!
