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

    Well done on the new routine!
    Would you consider a refurbished Kindle?? I have a refurb laptop...the fact I've just got it back from the repair shop is entirely my fault!!! Otherwise tis no different from a brand new one and even came with a warranty
  • I want to hear about the morning routine too :D

    Out of bed after the local news, choosing and ironing clothes the night before and getting a wriggle on instead of reading and watching Daybreak :o I have flexi working so every minute I get in earlier is a minute I can leave earlier - the idea being to fit in the gym/other things in the evenings! :D

    Not too bad this morning, about 10 minutes later than planned! :p

    2lbs lost on my 'holiday' diet - quite pleased with that as I got off to a shaky start :o 2 weeks today until I go :D

    Had a meeting with HR and then my line manager yesterday. Nothing immediate but I have a plan outlined, need to get it written up and approved. At least I will feel I am workign towards something - even though it will take time!

    Went to see 'One Day' last night and was impressed!

    And am up to £141 worth of vouchers in the Kindle fund :D

    Friday! :j This week seems to have flown by! Been busy at work but have kept on track at home too! Missed the chance to go for a drink last night with 'text man' as I had left a few minutes earlier :(. Have re-suggested the 'not-a-date' for next week - so maybe?

    Not much planned for the weekend - I am thinking that I ought to tackle all the clothes in my spare room! I know I would feel better if I got it sorted but just can't seem to get started! I did well last weekend with getting stuff done so I should try to carry it on. Got a nice looking cake recipe I want to try too

    13 days to hols! :)

    Morning lovely,

    you sound very positive & on top of things :D. Shame about missing the 'not a date' but if you get your spare wardrobe room sorted this weekend, then you'll feel even more on top of things & brimming with achievement & confidence.

    Don't forget the cake though ;).

    Marie Claire p 68-69 I want the zebra KGs, the leopard Next's & the dalmation Top Shops ... just need the £500 to buy them now :rotfl:

    Catch you later ... am thinking of doing a Davina weights workout tonight _pale_

    Morning sweetie,

    have cup cake envy ... will be doing some rock cakes later though.

    Happy mooching ... but ahem, what about the wardrobe ? You are so lucky I don't live closer; going through other people's wardrobes is just so much fun. My fingers are tingling just thinking about it :rotfl:
