    Hope you got a loss~ I lost 2 lbs this week :j
    Well done Beanie :T

    I got a loss too, only half a pound though which never feels like much of anything.

    On the bright side, I came home to a couple of Mysurvey invites and have now requested a £10 Amazon voucher from there :D

    1/2lb a week si 2 stone a year, so that's not to be sniffed at :j. I call SW Fat Club as well :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Last time I "only" lost half a pound I lost 4 the next week so I hope so! I only have 2.5lbs to go until I've lost my first stone :D

    Haha, glad it's not just me!!

    Well, a week with a small weightloss is done, so today I'm starting afresh. I'm just about to throw some clothes on and brush my hair, then it's up the Big Hill to the post office to send off my Amazon parcel. It's about a two mile round trip to the post office so that will be a good bit of early exercise for me. I'll have a shower when I come back then head to work (late shift again) I'm going to make something yummy and filling for lunch and have lots of healthy snacks, but am also going to go for a walk at lunchtime to add some extra exercise in.

    I've put another £5 into my ISA today so I'm less than a tenner away from my target on that one :):) Tomorrow is VSP day so I round down my bank account and send it to the Handbag Fund, but I'll be PADding to the ISA from Saturday.

    15 days till payday....!

    I made it up the hill, but got the bus back down as it looked like it was going to rain - and it's now chucking it down so that was a good decision. It cost £4.49 to post my parcel though :eek: so it will only be £10 profit when the money arrives - I requested it this morning so should get it early next week.

    We're having chilli for tea again tonight. I made a massive batch of it recently and it's easy just to reheat it when I get home from a late shift. I am cooking something fresh and yummy tomorrow though. I'm really bored of chilli!

    Thanks Souk :D

    We ended up not having chilli - I just couldn't face it!! According to my pedometer I've done 4.76 miles of wandering today, so feel like I'm back on track with my WW again.

    Usual brain-numbing wander through survey sites etc is complete for today too. Tomorrow I need to do some more comps as I didn't have time today. I'm also hopefully heading to see Harry Potter 1 tomorrow night and to see the rest of them over the course of the next 7 days.

    Yup, my name's flying_fresian, I'm old enough to know better and I'm horribly geeky for Harry Potter.
