I rationalized that my new shoes shouldn't be punished just because I can't budget

Thanks everybody :A

Had takeaway pizza as a treat, haven't done that for ages Feel it's time for a diet/exercise/beauty blitz!

:eek: Car was £150! Had it in my car fund but my tax is due next month and there's not enough left for that, plus it needs some more work doing! A budget conscious August looms methinks!

Went into town whilst waiting for the car, ending up spending £42 on a YSL mascara and some St Tropez, £7 in Paperchase, £9.50 on a top in DP (I had a voucher for the rest) and £6 on lunch so a very spendy day!

Carvela shoes arrived yesterday - and I love them Going to a friends for dinner tonight so a chance to wear them

Had a bit of a wobble in town, feeling very fat in clothes shops (I've put 2lbs on this week ) and the whole world seemed to be in couples! Calmed down now, but feel it's time to get moving with diet, exercise and glamming up a bit! Ate a sensible lunch and have been for a sunbed so had quite a nice day really! Time for 30mins exercise before it's time to get ready to go out

Lazy day today - I have an upset stomach again :mad: Bit concerned as this is the second time in 3 weeks and I don't usually have a delicate stomach

Hope you are feeling better by the time you read this

Have you been eating or drinking anything different recently that might be causing the stomach upsets? My mother suffers rather badly from stomach problems and is constantly having to watch what she eats.


Did you wear the new shoes? They look so lovely and being very expensive (pre-sale) they might even be comfortable!

Hi Shoesy, honey if you WANT to be in a couple, are you doing anything about it?! Just asking amd with your best interests at heart.

Get on it with the diet lady, I've lost a good bit in a fortnight by putting my mind to it (will weigh tomorrow).

Hope the tum is better X

Hey Shoesy

You can do it . Hope you have a good week, did you ever look at myfitnesspal.com? I know I keep going on about it but it really is a great site for motivation, especially on those days you just wanna give up. xx

Don't actually want a man - was just having a moment Am fine now!

Have got my diet head on now, kick started by my upset stomach . Have sort of 'gone off' food as not felt too good so am taking advantage of that! Have now lost my first half stone

Am feeling better, thanks, although am still being cautious about food. Am chuffed with the resulting weightloss Not really changed anything food wise but I think I over indulged a bit last week with too much junk and fatty stuff so probably a reaction to that

Think I'm going to send the shoes back - my jeans aren't long enough with them - and they hurt my toes

Been told today there will be a pay freeze for another 12 months Not surprised really but I do need to think about what next in terms of finances? Cut costs or look for another job????? I will sit down at the weekend and really look at the numbers - I am drifting a bit at the moment, sticking a few things on credit card and not really keeping a tight rein on things!
