    Hmmmm tricky one,

    I would be tempted to save half the voucher as a reward for when you lose a target of weight.

    Surely you dont want to spend all the money on something you wont be able to wear when all slim :D

    That is what's keeping me away from the shops, dont want to spend any money on stuff that wont fit in 3 months time ... will reward myself when target reached ;)

    Enjoy your day, whatever you do
    xx

    Thanks Lula - I did buy the book in Asda but was after 4 NSD's :j A record for me!

    Amazon vouchers arrived in my Inbox so Davina DVD has been ordered :eek: Have thought about running as so many people seem to lose weight (and enjoy it!) but not sure while the nights are still so dark - maybe a plan for Spring? Need to get into a 3 times a week minimum routine with the DVD's first :D

    Hmmmm I've often thought that running might be fun, maybe when I'm superfit I'll give it a go. Cant help thinking I'd feel so self conscious though - not exactly flat chested :(
