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

Hehehe love the cable story Cinny! I'm glad you didn't get blown up with the fuse box though! :eek: Just make sure that he doesn't tell your parents off about it or your little house of lies could come tumbling down!!

Bicester Vilage sounds like it's lovely for a look if not a spending spree! Its a bit far for me to go to get depressed about not being able to afford designers even when they're half price! £35 for a Coast dress is bargainous though, well done!

I'm kind of dreading The Shrallenge tonight... I am strooooooong-ly against jumping around when it's this muggy!

Haha! I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face!

We lie to each other constantly, our poker faces are indestructible! He won't say anything to my Parents though, he can barely remember what he had for breakfast half the time. Let alone anything I said yesterday!

OH's alarm went off at 5:45 this morning (I may envy his wage, but I don't envy the 18 hour days.) So, me and my tins of kidney beans are checking in for day 1 being done! I must be stronger than I was when I first did it, I was pooped from the bleddy warm up last time. But this time I only started lagging by the last circuit. I had MTV on in the background so got a little over confident and starting dancing on the 'jump rope' But Jillian said she wanted me screaming and grunting I managed to blank line out from last time.

The dress sounds like a good bargain though Zig! I'm sure with going by it's RRP price it'll last an age too.

Morning all!

Checking in for day one of the Shrallenge too... One shred, one green monster, felt a bit sick, but ready to face the day now. Just about. I didn't manage to keep up with the press ups and I really struggle with the lat raises (?) in the last circuit as I'm using 3kg weights and totally unfit. Ha!

Good luck all!

Bless you Cinny taking on the lawnmowing! I always think that I should do it - we've only got a teeny lawn - but that's exactly the sort of thing I worry about happening :rotfl:

Mmm, Bicester Village, I've never been, but I heard there's a Le Creuset discount shop there too...

Good luck with the shrallenge everyone!

Oh dear about the lawn mower Cinny!

Bargain with the dress Zig. I love coast dresses, they are so lovely.

I need to go into town in a bit to pick up a couple of parcels as the postman seems to have stopped ringing our buzzer. Not even sure what one of the parcels is? One of them is some little baby hangers though so i can hang up more of Poppy's clotes in her wardrobe hehe.

Birdie85

Well done for getting the Shred done nice and early Cinny and Poddle!

5.45 wake-up is a bit bad though Cinny! Is your OH enjoying his new job?

I'm super happy glad it's Friday! Although that Rebecca Black song has just popped into my head so now I want to kill myself! :eek:

Oooh how cute Wendz, teeny hangers! Even they make me go gooey now!

In 12 weeks and 4 hours I'll be running like a madwoman through Islands of Adventure to Harry Potter World! :j

wendz86

Just saw an advert for harry potter world Birdie, looks so good! Bet you are beyond excited.

I get a bit excited about all her little clothes still. I am worried she won't fit in some of her summer dresses before end of summer though as she is still quite small.

I had never heard of that song till i saw it on glee so just youtubed it, can see why you want to kill yourself!

Birdie85

You'll just have to get strict with her and tell her to grow! Or we'll have to hope for an Inidan summer so she can still wear her pretty dresses later in the year.

I'm am super dooper excited! I was talking to my Mum who told me not to pack much because we'll buy so many clothes when we're there and I was like, a) stop advising me on what to do there every time I mention it, I've been before and know the score perfectly well for freaks sake! and b) as if we're going to have money left to buy anything once we've hit the Harry Potter gift shop! :rotfl:

I am sorry if my mention of Rebecca Black has upset anyone... I don't mean to spread her word!

Tete_en_l'Air

I don't have a clue who Rebecca Black is

Wow well done to Cinny and Poddle! Can't believe it's July already, I'm going to have to take my laptop in the garden or something and do the Shred there I think - far too much jumping up and down for my bedroom, the ceiling will go through. Ooh what should I be using as weights? I have a couple of half litre bottles of water, would they do?

I weighed myself this morning too and am 4lbs over the top end of my 'happy' range - it's because the last few weeks I've been using the 3 peaks as an excuse to eat like a pig, so I'm going to get started on a healthy eating plan as well from Monday (I've just made a huge batch of brownies so it's impractical at the moment ). I want to lose about 7lbs...

Today is also the start of my Spending Diary for July :eek:

Wendz can you not put Poppy's summer dresses with tights and a cardie in the autumn/winter? It'd be such a shame not to get ANY use out of them...

Ahh Cinny that made me laugh about the lawnmower, not so long ago though and you'd have been toast - you're lucky they all have circuit breakers and things on them now!

Fab bargain on the dress Zig! I got a Coast dress for about £25 in the sales a year or so ago but have only worn it twice - it's pure silk and unfortunately I'm very static so it just sticks to me! I know I should out it on ebay but I can't bear to!

Birdie85

Can't you wear a granny slip with it Tete? Seems a shame to not wear it!

I use little hand weights (well, they actually go round your wrists but I just hold them!) and they're about the same weight as a tin of beans so bottles of water will be fine. I've realised that I'm going to do really badly next week as I have to rush straight out after work on Monday and Friday so I won't have time to jump around

Hope you manage to stick to the healthy eating and the spending diary Tete! I am useless as keeping a spending diary... I might try again this month!

Tete_en_l'Air

I'm hoping that even if I don't remember to write EVERYTHING in it, it might make me think twice about what I'm buying and whether I really need it.

Yeah I could maybe try a slip, it is actually a lined dress as well, I'm just very electric somehow!
