I went to the local co-op, am avoiding tescos as much as possible or I'll end up buying all sorts of stuff I didn't know I needed / don't actually need, just because its reduced

I've done mothers day already and still have 12 rolls of xmas wrapping paper unopened that I bought about 3 years ago I am determined not to go sale mad this year

Blooming nora, yup, I saw mini eggs on sale in MrT's this afternoon, grrr......but Mother's Day stuff?!? Come on, that's just crazy!! *sigh*

Glad cutie has texted, even if it wasn't to set up yet a definite date, but it's looking very promising

I went into Reading on the way back home to Sussex and was surprised at how quiet it was in the big shopping centre - I know I don't go there too often, but it was like a reasonably busy but not manic Saturday. I didn't actually buy a thing - I've got 3 orders on their way from B00ts, A$da and Evans, but 95% of the stuff will go back as I ordered things in various sizes.

Looking good with the finances, and there are definitely some decent food bargains around, I think all the shops overstocked terribly and are now suffering for it.

All to our advantage though.

Morning all, a couple of other bits I'd forgotten about have come out of my bank account today, and a refund has gone in to a mb account, so overall another £26 to come off of the money I have available this week, meaning I now have £29 left.

Am looking forward to getting back to WW once all this xmas/new year stuff is out the way. I am thinking of making a super duper effort in January to kickstart it all again, currently I am 10 st 9.5lbs, and I want to get to 10 st by the end of January. This would mean I am at my official WW goal (and therefore would save £20 a month there ), but also psychologically would be a huge boost for me.

So, I am thinking of January being a major effort ...

(a) properly counting ww points again
(b) 30 day shred
(c) not biting my nails
(d) no chocolate (other than ww bars within my points)

Anyone else mad enough to join me??
