    lol EQ i've found her already lol

    thanks everyone, i did think ole mardy face didn't deserve my lovely flat but then i was trying not to be picky as i'm so desparate to move into a house.
    didn't make it to the crop today as i slept later, must have needed the sleep. Mr LT and i visited the new Mr M's in town which was nice but jam packed, it will be much better once the newness has worn off and everyone's not there at the same time.

    decided to start my weight loss campaign by simply writing everything down, i'll count up later but at least if i write it down good or bad it will be a start. Sort of like a spending diary. I've got a lovely notebook specially for the job which i'll enjoy using. I've got 160 pages in which to get my act together and start losing some weight.

    Shower the scarves i have knitted are fab, it's funky wool which wasn't the cheapest but i'm sure if i looked online i could probably find it a little bit cheaper, at least i could get one completed in an evening. It's on size 15!!!!! needles and is simply 10 stitches that you rib so you really can't go wrong.
  • Yes that's what I need, big needles big wool. I'm on the case.

    That's a brilliant idea, finding a nice notebook to log spending and eating. It somehow makes it less of a chore, I agree. I'm sure this over spending and eating nice things thingy is just a love of life and not a character flaw:rotfl:I need to lose about 14 pounds would like to lose 28!

    I'm joining you if I may, starting today, not had breakfast yet..

    Hiya Lemon

    Well done on getting the eating diary started. I lost 21lb a while back and guess what I have 14 of it back on. Head not in the right place Lemon. I like cake for breakfast :)

    Hope you get your scrapbook started soon. Don't beat yourself up you will get to it.

    Take care
    E

    you're quite right EQ the scrapbook will come together if it's meant to be. I must make Mr LT a burfday card for Friday though otherwise i'll be ordering one from Uni lol

    cake for breakfast is the sign of a good family party the night before - it's the only thing that you can eat for brekkie the next day. Unfortunately that wasn't my excuse over the weekend.

    Maybe not - but it would be a shame to get out of practice. :)

    very true Miggy never thought of that reason! I'll have to remember it more often.

    one of the LT puddy cats has been norty and lost her magnetic mouse which lets her in through the cat flap, we're struggling to find a replacement though :( I've had a word with her and we will dock her pocket money if she's not careful!
