    Sounds like you've had a lovely weekend so far :) Hope it continues today.
    Great bargain on the champagne and a really fab idea to keep you motivated. It doesn't sound much when you say "19 paydays to go" does it?

    Enjoy your run later.

    Hey! Well done on another NSD, you've done really well this month. I find them really difficult, there's always a little something to be bought each day. Ten in a month would be amazing!
    And great going on the running as well - I think you're on a mission. I think we both aimed a bit high with 15 GOADs! That's every other day - I'm going to aim for 3 x a week from now on.

    Hope you managed to smooth things out with the parentals and are feeling a bit less fraught! Nothing wrong with using your diary for a rant...that's what its here for :)

    That's a really great attitude to have re the ex - I know its easier said than done though. If you do want to rant, feel free. My mantra with the ex invading my thoughts is: STOP! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Sometimes it works :undecided

    No doubt this Government will close down all local council pools soon. Now there's a rant a could have all day! I keep meaning to get the weights out but haven't yet - they're supposed to be really good for weight loss/toning up.

    Hey IWAH :) Are you okay? Sorry to hear you've had a bad week, draw a line under it and look forward to a better one from today. You got any nice plans for the weekend?

    Well done on your first deposit payment! :T Over 6% paid already, that's brilliant and it will soon start building up really fast. I know what you mean about being OCD about weighing yourself, I've been really firm with myself this time and tried really hard to stick to the once a week thing, it used to be several times a day!!

    I hope your sneaking feeling is right!
