Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

debtfreewannabe321

Hi Abba we have to treat ourselves every now and then or we'd go mad!! And besides i would call a coat a necessity not a treat so technically it's fine....dont beat yourself up over it (although saying that i do exactly the same!!) I have in my new budget put £60 in every month for clothes anyway so school clothes, shoes & the rest should be covered then! xxx

Hi Abba
I totally agree with Debtfreewannabe as well a coat is a necessity not a luxury so enjoy it. You are doing so well!

I had a quick visit to Home Bargains this morning and picked up some oven cleaner for £2.99 instead of the usual £3.99. I also purchased loo rolls, crisps, facial wash and a few things for DDs party so it was a very good trip.

I like Matalan as well, there are some lovely childrens clothes I refuse to spend a fortune on their clothes as they grow so quickly. An associate of mine only buys her DDs clothes from Monsoon :eek: More fool her, even in the sale Monsoon is still way too expensive!

Catch up later xxx

Oh wow well done you! I didn't realise you were on a diet...are you following a specific one? I did slimming world for a bout a year after my last son and lost 2 stone (although i have prob put on half a stone since finishing!) i found the last half a stone the worst one to lose, i would lose one week then put on a lb the week after drove me mad!!

I always go on a diet after xmas lol so i can look good in the summer lol i love stodgy food in the winter heheheheh not wanting to eat salads when s theres snow about lmao x I always get to 11st 6 and then stick so i have 2 lbs to lose before I get to that weight again and then the girls at work are going to give me a program so I can get past it and get down to 11 stone x

I did the weight watchers diet 2 years ago used to be 14stone 11 and now i'm 11 stone 8 so I've lost over 3 stone just calorie counting and using myfitnesspal to log all my calories.

I only do this during the week and eat whatever i like after i've weighed in on Saturday morning on my wii fit lol Saturday is normally a takeaway day and sunday is a roast dinner so it gives me something to look forward to x

oh well done for keeping that much off all this time :j! I spent so long getting my last half a stone off to get to target that i feel really angry :mad: with myself for putting it bk on so quick again! But i am too lazy to go on a diet again! I'm just trying to watch what i eat (says she who has a bottle of wine to herself tonight and crisps!!!) LOL :rotfl: it is the weekend eh so gotta let yourself off sometimes

Hi Abba :wave:

Well done on the weight loss, I could do with losing a stone as my jeans are starting to get abit tight. I haven't weighed myself for months but now that the debts are under control I will have to start doing something about it.

Have a great evening xx

I remember first dates....I used to be petrified LOL and i would end up having a drink for courage (or 2 or 3) and end up tipsy before i went out DOH must have made a great impression hehe. Well done on saving money not buying drinks and good luck for date number 2 (if that is on the horizon!)
