Hi guys,
Haven't posted in a long time - been really busy at work & with Uni assignments - driving me nuts - but not towards the biscuit tin (its empty now from last week :rotfl:)
I have started this year as an EE year - to use up food in freezer - i can no long fit anything else in it! :mad:
Have set new targets moneywise this year as i need to pay off the dreaded credit cards - and to hopefully start saving for a holiday in America and a new sofa - i hate the one we have - so uncomfortable!
So there is actually a budget for my food shopping now £150-200 per month for me & DH and my Guinea Pigs (8) and rabbit!
STS this week (monday weigh in) - but i had to use the free £40 voucher for Old Orleans to treat myself & my friend on sunday as she has recently got engaged! :rotfl:
This week will be a better week - i have a page a day diary to write down everything i eat & for food planning
Yesterday

S - Alpen Light bar (3)
D - Turkey, potato & spinach curry (with onions, mushrooms, peppers, kidney beans, mushy peas, tomatoes) served with sweet potato wedges - Plum
S - Scan bran x 5 (heb) quark & options (2)
Milk in coffee as hea
Today

How can we help with sponsorship? Group weight loss?
I done a sponsored slimming marathon last year - raised £400 for the SMILES charity - would love to help
Oh i forgot to say, my brother has joined with me now - we went to a completely new group on monday & i was shocked in the shear number of people that joined - i reckon there was 30!
I just hope my brother sticks to it & is as successful as you lovely lot on here.0 -

spray with frylight then sprinkle with herbs? thyme is nice with chicken, and oregano is nice with peppers. Or a splash of balsamic after roasting??Betty B: The Eternal Procrastinator....
