    Hello my lovely LT...how busy have you been? I have been popping by, reading your posts and then scurrying out again feeling very guilty as you are all doing so well...I'd like to loose weight and gain money...but I suppose we are all looking for that aren't we?

    Hugs

    LL xx

    don't ever worry about not posting LL.

    i wish i could lose weight and save money but my poor little brain only really seems to be able to concentrate on one thing at a time.

    Still got the budget to sort out but i don't think Mr LT has ever really understood the whole money saving thing. but we'll get there at some stage.

    LT, I'm dusting off your diary. How are you?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    hi Unix, sorry it took so long to reply.
    all is well here, just not been onto MSE for what feels like an absolute age. money is still ticking along, trying not to spend it but having to buy occasional bits of clothing before stuff falls off.

    weight loss is still going well, feels like a stay the same week this week but maybe the bagging up of connifer bits will help me out, it's all exercise i guess.

    What about the CS shops whilst your weight is in flux LT?

    hi Unix, i've been contributing to the CS at this stage but in our small town any large sizes are the ones i've already donated so not too much use for me.

    hi Brizzled, it's going well thanks,
    Debts are down to du du du.....
    £400 mad mavis which will be paid off in the next two months
    and £600 for the top up mad mavis which will then be paid off two months after that, which means that by October I will have paid off all the debts that I had when I started on here - £48k in total !!!! yay!

    biggest news in the land of LT is that we're finally getting our puppy. Not a sausage do but a westie/scottie cross who's as cute as cute can be.
