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

I'm back!

Had a fab time, lovely weather so I am nicely tanned, and loads of food and drink too!

Off to catch up with everybody, back later

Nails done and sunbed visited - want to keep that holiday glow!

Car insurance sorted, and reduced down to £642 which was about what I paid last year so a lot less :eek: than the renewal quote! Such a boring job though, at least I remembered Quidco

And I might have 'accidentally' ordered a black clutch from Next for a dinner I am going to on Thursday! Black, raffia oversized - looks lovely

Time to get seriously on to the diet wagon (and exercise!) - target to lose 7lbs by the end October!

Like the sound of the new clutch even if it was an accident, & as you so kindly brought sunshine back with you - 28 here - I won't tell you off.

Am actually not in a position to tell anyone off

Nice work on the car insurance :T

Lazy day here, a few basic chores done but not much else! Lots of lazing and reading though . Had to renew my Red subscription but used Nectar points (reduced the Kindle fund though which now stands @ £142)

Have decided to re-activate my gym membership :eek: Needs must, so that's tomorrow's job!

I am thinking of cancelling my gym membership as I only go once in a blue moon as never seem to have time! Cant be bothered with the arguing to do it though.....

I did a 3 month contract earlier when I was training for a 10k in June but then cancelled it and have done nothing since Am really feeling it now though and despite promising myself I will do DVD's at home it just doesn't happen!

Thought I'd do another 3 months upto Christmas and make myself go! It's near work so makes sense to go straight from work rather than travelling over again at the weekends - and I like keeping weekends free (the gym is a necessary chore not a pleasure!)

Been to the gym for the first time in 3 months :eek: Was hard going! Have reactivated my membership - now I need to nag myself to go!

Got a Red Letter Day voucher from an incentive at work There are some fab choices - spa days, hot air balloon etc but I am leaning towards a Personal Shopping Day! Maybe that could be the incentive for weight loss?

Money seems to be extra tight this month, and I don't really know why! Only got paid on Friday and there seems to be no 'slack' already. As it's my birthday month though I will find it from somewhere as I have a few social things planned

The bag has arrived from Next but I don't love it so it's going back - see I have learned something from all my time on MSE

Slept really badly last night, so an early night for me!

Not much happening today - am trying not to let small minded people get to me! :mad:

good luck with the gym and :mad: know what you mean on the smallminded people thing!
