    Hmm...

    Merry Christmas all! Been a good day at home with the family, got my presents - books, DVD, smellies and a lovely pair of black jeans to go with the DVD, book and bookmark off Mr E.
    Been a day of food and fun and falling asleep.
    And I sold a book on Amazon!

    Glad you had a nice Christmas! Well done on the weightloss. I know a few people that have lost weight over the period. It's possible that being good beforehand has kept you on an even keel, or perhaps the Xmas stuff will hit next week.

    I hope not jwil.....but we did walk miiiiiles today around town - so NOT an NSD for me....went into town, got a make up set from Boots as needed new eye-make up (and it was half price), sent ebay parcels (have made about 60+ from eBay and Amazon this Xmas period :D ) got envelopes for the next lot of sales (included in the 60 or so) and got some DVDs, nibbly bits, a new stick blender.

    And we went shopping and spent a LOT - got spices and oil and noodles and sorted the menu so there's some easy meals for when I don't want to cook, veggie meals for the virtuous days and some stuff for the slow cooker - soup and stew here we come!

    Gotta post more eBay tomorrrow....then get ready for the party in the evening and work that, so hopefully I'll burn a bit more offf :D
