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

Nothing much going on! Really tired, think I will head off to bed with my book!

Glad the week is over really, been a bit mixed at work so a quiet weekend is in order I think! Was sent a 'thank you' bouquet on Thursday though which was really touching

Quick drink after work last night so missed the gym However, I have lost 4lbs this week so I am pleased with that . There is a charity slim starting at work next week so I have signed up for that - little bit of extra motivation from having to check in every week, and the charity is a children's hospice

I have a busy weekend next weekend including my turn to host Come Dine with Me so this weekend is all about planning, cleaning and tidying the flat etc. My sister has asked me to make some cupcakes for a fundraiser coffee morning she has tomorrow and I'd like to fit the gym in too!

So time to get off the sofa and make a start!

Have you time for a bit of James?! OOh I love him X

:rotfl::rotfl: @ Souk! I love him too but didn't watch this morning

Have baked 2 batches of cup cakes - one plain, one chocolate (not sure my baking is up to public scrutiny so will donate the best of the 2 batches and give the slightly dodgy looking ones to Mum and Dad :rotfl::rotfl:). Need to ice them later and then drop them off to my sister

Got a lovely faux leather biker jacket in Asda of all places! Only £28, just what I have been looking for and even better - Mum is buying it for my birthday

The cakes got made and delivered yesterday but not much else was achieved! Went shopping in the afternoon but didn't buy anything. I am still hankering after the DKNY handbag I saw a couple of months ago and have almost enough incentive vouchers for the full £240 - am really tempted

There is loads of stuff I should be doing but am not feeling very motivated

Hello lovely,

looks like your week has been a bit up & down. Oh dear, that phrase makes me think of James :rotfl:

If the bag you LOVE is going to be paid for by vouchers, then why not . The one I bought from ebay recently ( brand new ex River Island ) is just perfect & I adore it. It may only have cost me a few pounds, but I would happily have paid 10 x that for it. A bag you love is like a best friend.

I keep almost joining the gym at DDs school but then feel that I can easily achieve the same result with walking, yoga & the dreaded Davina, it's the time & motivation that I'm lacking

Well done on losing 4lbs, that's a seriously significant amount :T

Good mooch around the local shops this afternoon and a few treats Got some pearl earrings, paid for with Nectar points, which I've wanted for a while (reduced the Kindle fund by £12 though), a book and couldn't resist a notepad with 'Keep Calm and Buy Shoes' on the front :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Also got some eyeshadow and mascara, and false lashes - I am determined to master the 'smoky eye' this Winter! Bought Bourjois which several people have told me is made by the same manufacturer as Chanel

Persevered with polls and videos on Maximiles to get my points up to 2000 and then ordered another 6 months Glamour

This week is going to be about healthy eating, the gym, some pampering and loads of chores - then a busy weekend next weekend :j starting the countdown to my birthday the following weekend

Shoe_Gal

Well that's Monday done! Been really busy at work, ended up staying late and didn't make the gym Must go tomorrow

Got my Come Dine With Me menu done and emailed, have a massive list this week though! Need an early start, so therefore an earlier finish tomorrow - so an early night tonight

Shoe_Gal

Whoops - can't stop eating And am really tired too - time to get back on track!

Nice work on the menu & hope you have a good sleep & wake feeling refreshed & ready for action
