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

    Reached my first 7lb loss target :j so have adjusted my goal to 16lbs (this would take me into the next stone)
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

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

    Could you wear them with a dress? Change them for a bigger size? But if they hurt you'd be better changing them for a different fabulous pair you can actually wear.

    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!

    :( We all seem to do that, but then cut back again, it's not much different to the dieting really, it's an ongoing battle to spend less and eat less.

    Not much going on, couple of quiet days at work. Have been sticking to the diet (mostly :o) but not found any motivation to exercise!

    No plans for the weekend - maybe a declutter and mega clean??? Exciting eh! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You are so rock n roll :p. When you've finished could you pop round to do mine please :D

    Well done on the weight loss. I've stalled at 8lbs but mainly due to being so busy & not having time to do decent exercise. On hol for a week & will not be able to resist Cornish pasties, cream teas or ice cream so will need to do lots of walking to counteract :o.
