Hi Palema

Just caught up with your busy life.

Hope you had a good Easter. Love the dress by the way and the colour. Get you in a size 10. I have about 18lbs to go and think I will end up fitting comfortably into a size 12 although I am in some 12's/14's at the mo.

Any news on your assessement day yet. My fingers will be crossed for you but I am sure you dont need it.;)

Hi to you too P. Phew I have just caught my breath from reading your events for the coming month and I thought I was bad:rotfl::rotfl: I am sure you will have a great time with it all. May be some sleep some where in there wouldn't go a miss

I will have to try and find you on fb so I can take a peek, I am sure you will look fabuuuulous.

Yes need to grit the teeth and get on with it. Its a long time coming and it has been an easy road. Nearly got there a couple of years ago then, a few personal thingies threw me off track but I never stop going, so it kept the weight gains down a little.

I will have to pop on here to have a pep talk from my virtual leader:p

I will make a mental note of week commencing 9th. I am sure you will be fine though.


Lovely to hear your news about your little ones making the front page. Bet they looked really cute too.
Catch you later hun. x

Hi everyone
Well I have had a great weekend but am now totally shattered and working in the morning!

Had my friends hen night last night and we had a cocktail making session in which we got a complimentary cocktail, made one of our own, had another made for us then had a shot - was eeling rather tipsy by 6pm!! :eek: After that we went for a meal and my friend's mum bought a round of drinks and that is all the alcohol I consumed last night, we then went into a night club. I had already given £10 depoisit and spent only another £35 the whole night!! Got home about 130am didn't get to sleep until after 2am and woke just after 8am this morning so extremely tired today!

I have been having a bit of bother with my skin again - I was given trial sizes of products in Boots last week and ended up going and buying the products as I have found a difference already so although the expense is quite high it is worth it as my skin is a nightmare as it is so sensitive. :mad:

Friday's spends
£28.99 My new dress
£20.00 into my betting account for the speedway GP's
£1.00 Speedway money draw
Total £49.99

Saturday's spends
£1.90 WW magazine
£3.14 Asda
£30.00 Hen night Cocktail making and Meal
£5.00 Night Club entry
Total £40.04

Today's spends
£6.28 Morrison's
£63.03 Skin care :eek:
Total £69.31

A WW meeting tomorrow, Food shopping for my Gran Wednesday, training on Thursday with work then a WW meeting Friday is what I have instore this week!
Enjoy your week

Cocktail night sounds like fun

Can you PM me some info about the costs of classes etc for WW and where your classes are. Been thinking about joining for a while and feel too fat for summer at the moment

Sounds like a good time had by all. You are going to have a busy week. Lots of prep then for your assessment.

Hope work isnt too tiring tomorrow. I am off we dont get paid for BH's unless I get called in. Then back to work for one, then off till Sunday. Marvellous,need to recharge and get the strategy going to remove my excess weight. Weigh day tomorrow, so here's hoping although I have been a bit off track this week.

Catch you later.

Hi Palema

Glad the meeting went ok. I am sure you will be more than ready for next weeks meeting and you have one on Friday too dont you. You will be all WW'd out

Speaking of which I went tonight and stayed the same. Ok with this as not had the best of weeks. Already got my head in gear for the coming week so here's to a weightloss next Monday.

Have a good day at work tomorrow chick.

Catch you later.
