Hi rdchick
I was keeping up with your post on the DFW board and was hoping that you would start a diary.
I'm also from the south-coast (Portsmouth).
Good luck with clearing your debts and weight-loss.

Aww bless you guys - I'm in Southampton Emz (originally from Gosport!!) but a pompey fan at heart - to keep my daddy happy!
I'll try and post something interesting regularly!! xxxLife is too short not to love what you do.0 -
I am a horrid emotional eater though - I eat when I am happy, stressed, bored etc however if I am heartbroken it falls off!! Just don't like being heartbroken!!
Right then girlies - shall we make a little target for ourselves? I would like to be at least 2 stone lighter by my birthday in October - that's ages away but 4 months and the summer is here and my gym membership is being paid for a reason so it needs to be done!!!
Must get on with some work too - boss has just praised me on the fact our biggest client has mentioned all my hard work (tehehehe if only they knew!!)
Muchos Love
xxxx
2 stone over 4 months is only half a stone a month or about 2lb a week - that has to be achievable, so I'm up for the challenge. I'm very competitive so hopefully this will get me going on the weightloss journey.
Shame I have just cancelled my gym membership, but I wasn't going so it was a complete waste of money. Still I have beaches and the park on my doorstep and all the exercise dvd's I could need along with my wii fit - just got to use them instead of letting them gather dust :rotfl:and I have all the bumph from ww which I know works as I have done it on and off for far too long so now I just need the willpower.
Let the weightloss commenceJune £25 a day 850.94/750 :beer:

So today the BF and I have been together for 10 monthhow cute! We decided last night that we wouldn't go on holiday this year (we planned to go to the South of France and then to Italy with his folks) but instead save for South Africa next year - little bit disappointed as thought it would be nice to get away and get some sun - hate working through the summer because when you're at work the sun is blazing and at the weekend it rains
I need to become a teacher- fast! I guess it's for the best - I couldn't really afford it as I have my MOT next month anyway and I am sure it's going to cost an arm and a leg! He also asked what I wanted to do when we're together for a year - I have no idea, probably just go for a meal somewhere as we can't really go away too much as we have the kitten!
Waiting for Equifax to get back to me to sort out my credit file - it's a mess! Been thinking about getting a new phone contract as mine runs out after 2 years(!) in August and would love a new one - however worried about getting another contract - thinking of going back to payg but I'm worried it's going to cost me more in the longrun - Virgin currently have a good deal with a Blackberry for something like £10 a month but it's 2 years again - long time - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm think payg and then buying a new phone for £120 will be cheaper in the long run - oh I don't know - the old me would have just gone in and got one - who cares about contracts and money - blah blah blah I have new cool phone! lol...
Anyway - I digress - I'll write again later - hopefully some ebay things will go today

Another day that has flown by... Only 15 days till payday! I'm down to one bar of fuel in my car but I think I can manage the miles just for one day and then it's second job payday.
Me and the bill cat (his name is Billy) are currently having cuddles on the sofa, he sounds like a helicopter as he's purring so much! Keeps coming to give me kisses too... Dunno what he's after but stinks of fish as the bf has just fed him!
Made £11 on eBay today (Billy has just burped... Nice...) so that's pretty awesome including some make up that I bought for £3 and sold for £4.50 weee! Oh Billy has gone now, clearly fed up of using my arms like pin cushions! Going to find some more stuff to eBay, have those magazines that I need rid of as it's getting ridiculous!
Ooh Billy is back and stinks of fish even more!
Anyway that's about it for me today..
