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

    Hi Emzilla - was reading your thread earlier and thinking of 'borrowing' your mood board idea to inspire me :D

    Lots of time frittered away today :o

    Some stuff done though! Took a pre-holiday purchase top back to Zara for £30 refund so that will fund my neice's birthday later in the week. Also ordered an Amazon voucher to fund a pressie for a friend's birthday at the weekend (and a Nails Inc polish for me :p)

    Bought birthday cards whilst I was out, and 'to do list' inserts for my Filofax - need a daily list to work from

    Done some beauty stuff and eaten well. Just about to paint my toenails

    Have decided that this weeks diet plan will be 3 meals and no snacks. So cereal and juice for brekkie, salad or jacket potato for lunch and a sensible dinner (no pizza then :(). Also planning on 3 gym trips, starting tomorrow. Will then weigh in on Saturday and see if I've made any progress. Think I'll dig my Slendertone out too!

    Hi Shoe gal, caught up with you, it's exercise more than the change of diet you need, go walking in your lunch hour without your purse.

    I only do glamour when I'm going out, mainly cos I'm lazy, my mum had brilliant skin and she only used Nivea, so I tend to think it run's in the family. I promise I'll keep up with your diaries, I'm on the tinternet everyday checking my fleabay stuff, think I'm addicted to it.

    Gorgeous shoes :D

    But £69 :undecided so do think about it ...

    Have you got a TKMaxx near you ? I was in today & they had some divine shoes in there & none over £40.

    I saved a fortune in there; didn't buy the red patent carvela t bars, didn't buy the nude patent carvela sky scrapers, didn't buy the leopard print dune stilettoes & didn't buy the hideous roxy denim studded shoes for DD either :D

    Sorry, I'm no fun am I :(

    Just trying to help ;)

    Thanks Lula (I think :p) - I do have TK Maxx but never go in :o Maybe I should!

    First day back at work seemed very long! Food has been OK but didn't make the gym :o Will try harder tomorrow!

    Naaaaaaaaaaag

    Love the shoes :). How about you treat yourself to them (or something else) once you reach a goal???
