    Deal - we'll check back in later?

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Consider yourself booted (gently). :D

    Thanks! As far as I've got is trying to find pics online that I can use but no such luck so this will require ironing stuff then photographing stuff then describing stuff then messing about with photo programme I barely understand stuff in the hope that I get some money back for stuff I should never have bought in the first place.Aargh! :rotfl:

    Alternatively, I eat reduced price apple pies I bought yesterday and watch iplayer... Hmm:think:
    Lose The Beef Challenge :p - start 17.01.11 3.5lbs/60lbs

    Buy Less Cr*p Challenge :D - start 01.02.11 Feb £0/£300
    It's not the destination...

    Showered, hair washed, bath s&s'd, fire lit and work laptop booted up. Feel very feeble . . .

    Will watch the fire and get some work done. Just have to accept that other things have to wait :(
  • That's why I'm afraid of getting out of the habit of running, has been difficult to keep going over winter (plus busy with uni and work) but when I go - like today - I relish the feeling of happiness it gives me (after, usually breathless and finding it hard work at the time!) and generally leaves me feeling pretty motivated and balanced out

    That's how I feel too :) I don;t enjoy rnning (much as I don;t enjoy housework :p ) but I do enjoy the effects, and really miss it when I take a few days off.

    maybe as you've lost all that weight you'll have to start shopping somewhere else :p:D

    Well practically I do anyway - my local branch of Evans closed last month! I haven't shopped at Evans for a while - my T shirts are M&S! (wash beautifully, 100% cotton and practical for work!)

    What I have yet to find is somewhere that sells trousers that fit me! I am sat in a pair of Evans jeans which I'm not that keen on - too many buttons esp on side pockets - they tend to catch on my leather sofas.

    I may be 2+ stone down, but in reality I am only a third of the way to where I want to be! So I am going to need many transitional clothes.....

    Just remember to get rid of the too big stuff so you can't grow back into it, and buy yourself stuff that makes you feel good about how you look so you stay focussed on the positives.
  • I will greenbee - OH's bank account is quivering at the prospect of me being interested in clothes after a very VERY long gap!

    greenbee - chill out in front of the fire with a nice hot drink and just relax if that's what you feel up to and don't over stress or strain yourself with what is going on x

    As for me
    Tea batch cooked for tomorrow and another day
    Meal planned for the next 2 weeks - lets see if I stick to it - aiming to empty the freezer out a little more
    All washed up a tidied up now
    Shopping list written for next week
    New candle lit - smells like a dessert (vanilla and cinnamon)
    Last WM on for cleaning cycle
    No hope of srying washing with rain outside

    An hour's reading now for course then dog walk when the rugby ends

    All left to do is sort out work stuff, take soup out of freezer to defrost - job done for a productive and relaxing weekend
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333
