    Evening Imp..nice to hear from you...are you ok?....I'm not doing much honestly...I sit in my cab all day and sit most of the night...I've only been doing the washing and not much else...and will not be doing much else....I will tidy up bit by bit and clean the bathroom and mop the floors that will be it...
    Thankyou for your lovely comments...I took JJ into the office this afternoon after he'd finished nursery and he was eating the bosses kentucky!!!!...he's a little love....I also took him to nursery this morning so he's happy...
    I had nobody to go to WWs with so went on my own and like you we have a proper cooked meal each night DH cooks it for me(the love) so I'm going to follow the core plan ...which is basic foods really...so poor DH doesn't have to weigh everything...
    The weight challenge is as big as the debt challenge as in I have 7 stones to lose!!!...it'll probably take a couple of years to do..ahh well

    Hi Taxi
    just wanted to wish you good luck with the ww stuff. You are so brave going to a meeting alone:eek: . Pity you didn't live nearer as i would have gone with you, as i have a similar amount to shift:o :o:o . hoping that the weight will come off easier after the op as most of it has gone on with the pcos and fibroids etc. I have just gone back to my gym but struggling to shift the weight, even though I am getting fitter.
    take care

    Morning LA,Sophiesmum and all...that's a great pic LA...made me laugh!!!!
    Sophiesmum you will feel brilliant after your op..don't worry about your weight at the moment...once your totally over the op you can really get on with your life...it's took me ages to get to this point but the op was worth it...I'm going to try the gym again when I feel well enough to start again...
    Well,I checked my banking and there was £40 credited for going to work...so this has gone straight into the holiday fund...I'm having a free holiday courtesy of the government....so I now have a grand total of £60 in there!!!!...I'm still waiting for the £100 back to work grant so phoned them yesterday and it will be in my bank midnight on the 11th...and that will come off debts..so alls looking good...
    For some stupid reason I got up at 4am and have been up since!!!!...the washing is all done but I can't do any housework until later as DH is in bed until this afternoon..so am just pottering about..have a good day everyone

    Hi taxi. 11th is tomorrow so not long to wait!

    Hope you had a good day and managed to get some more done once DH went to work.

    Glad you liked the picture! Bit grim I suppose but it made me chuckle too!

    Sounds like you had a good day.

    good luck with WW - I agree with their Core plan - not so much a diet as a "back to basics" way of eating. Fits in well with the whole DFW/OS way of doing things I thing.

    Have a good day today, hope you are not too tired after your night out!

    Hope you're ok after the night out :) Good luck with WW - I did it for years, as did my mum (who lost 5.5 stone!) so it is a good one.

    Morning all....I'm fine thanks...I didn't drink while out so am fine...thankyou for the luck...your mum did well to lose 5.5 stone...that's a good weight loss...I decided to do core as DH cooks tea and it's easier for him to do....
    I've been on tenterhooks for the last hour as DH decided to replace the whole socket that he blew up the other week !!!!!...as lovely as he is ...he has never done any DIY let alone any electrics!!!!...so tried to talk him out of it but he wasn't having it...well...he managed to do it without killing himself or setting fire to the house and it seems to be working...but I was panicking!!!!!
    Checked online banking this morning and they have paid me another £40 but not the £100....so...will have to keep an eye on that that they only pay once a week IYSWIM..perhaps I was due 2 lots he did say I would probably get 2 lots close together...so am going to transfer it into my hloiday fund which will now be £100!!!
    Have a good day everyone..take care
