  • Hi IWAH. Sorry to hear work is stressful at the moment, don't overdo things and wear yourself out - I definitely don't blame you for not going for a run if you're getting home late. Amazing on the 6lb weight loss though :T I'm so envious - I've cut out the rubbish, been eating healthily and been going to the gym, but I've only lost 4lb! How can that be?! Well done to you though :)

    I guess you're right about the dieting thing and despite not actually losing many lbs, my clothes are starting to feel quite loose, so something must be working!

    I totally empathise with work stresses taking over your life - especially when it starts to impact on weekends and time off as well. Hope you enjoyed your wine and takeaway and managed to relax for a bit. Another payday will soon be looming and another chunk of cash to put towards your deposit :)

  • Hey IWAH,

    Just checking in - hope everything is okay and the work stresses have reduced a bit. You're probably out having an amazing time somewhere but I just wanted to check you're okay! :)

  • Hey iwah :) Okay, so did the running/gym take off again this week? Or did you poison yourself with bleach from the water bottle? :eek:
    I'm tempted to buy you a new one myself, bleach in drinks doesn't sound good!

  • Hey iwah. Wow, £177.64 underspent this month :T

    You're doing really well, from -55.56% of a deposit to over +10%, that's really amazing. One thing about getting older is that time seems to speed up, so it'll be next Feb and a 60% deposit saved before you know it. Keep going!


    And get those running shoes back on! :p
