    today has been a busy day today, DD not well so took her to doctors and she has infected glands and a viral infection _pale_ so she's now on penicillin for 10 days.

    Popped into new look and got myself a pretty barcelet for £2.50 as it was half price :j the rushed back to get DS from nursery. Popped into JJB Sp@rts and got DD new trainers as shes decided to go up a size :eek: for £17.99 and also got myself new trainers £54.99 reduced to £22.99 :T very chuffed with my bargain there lol

    Went into Poundstretcher and got a massive bottle of robinsons squash for £1.50 which they are selling in tesco for just under £4 :eek: and also got my bedroom as MASSIVE canvas for above my bed......its white background with bright pink orchids was £19.99 reduced to £14.99 :)

    Then it was off to Aldi's where the weekly shop came in at £23.85 :D I got loads lol then had to nip into to Tesco to get my cheap diet coke for 56p a bottle so got 3 as well as pizzas for my brother and chips lol.

    after loading the car up with all the stuff I nipped into the powerplate place and used two of my sessions so i'm all wobbled out :rotfl:

    Came home, put the canvas up.....looks well weird lol and moved the other picture round to the other wall, packaged up some letters and parcels and took them to the post office and bought a box to send those glasses i sold on ebay so will get that packaged up as sent away tomorrow.

    Need to clear the kicthen from all the mess i made trying to find my hammer only for my brother to tell me he broke it :mad: typical lol so off i go to clean up, make dinner and clean up again oh and i have a massive pile of ironing to do as well tongiht

    oh the joys lol

    how on earth did you get a weekly shop for so little....and more to the point...where am I going wrong!! You have more people in your household (well bigger kids lol- mine eat nowt) so why do i still spend so much?!

    Oh and i wanted to ask you :D do you need to wear anything special to the vibro plate session?? I mean like gym type stuff....as thing is i don't own any (inc. no trainers :p ) haha, i hope not as my first session is tomorrow! Oh and i measured myself up too so will compare my first week as I go along...i really hope i lose some esp off the waist! My bust is 39, waist 32 ( :( ) and hips 38....so i only really need to work on the midriff....do you just stand on it and wait till your time is up or do you have to move about??? Haha sorry for really random q's you're the only person I know to have used one before :p

    I don't know how i do it tbh........I guess i've just gotten good at only buying what we need, we hardly waste any of the food and if the kids want something in particular for dinner i got out and buy the ingredients for it but i honestly don't know how i manage it .........i thought m,y shopping in aldi's would have been £40 so was very shocked when it came to £23

    I wore jeans to my first visit lol but now i just wear my jogging bottoms, you fn't need trainers as the place i go to ask you to take them off. There's a little poster in front of the machine which shows you how to stand on it but if your not sure just ask one of the employees to put your mind at rest. it's really funny watching you body wobble and it defo shows you where you need to tone up lol.

    god my hips are 42 and my waist is 29 inches lol

I will put some joggers on if i can find them :p I only use them when cleaning the house or lounging about. PMSL no wonder I need the vibro sessions....fattie! And at least you have curves in all the right places ;) my waist is very nearly as big as my hips...Not good!!!

    you're not a fatty babe you'll lose the weight again i promise but you need to eat more than breadsticks during the day otherwise your body will go into starvation mode making it harder to shift the weight x x x

    I know i need to get the balance right :p I had 2 slices of toast for brekkie & juice & tonnes of herbal tea. Then for lunch had brown rice with sweetcorn & peas so didn't starve...I think i have got myself into the routine of eat eat eat if bored/stressed or tired......which is most of the time! really need to find something else to focus my boredom on me thinks! And omg you should have seen the size of my dinner i had half a bag of cabbage & broccoli (as well as sausage and mash) :P good job DH isn't home don't think he appreciate the aroma that will cause lmao xxx
