    I just figure you've got to be in it to win it, and being flooded with images of pretty things constantly has squashed any shopping itches! Expecting a couple things in the post already, I guess the people who win a lot just have a gift for it :)

    It's gorgeous and sunny here today! Wanting work over and done with so I can take Ryder out to a nature reserve for a walk. Taking his extra long lead and floaty toys so he can have a swim, he's turned into a real water puppy. Even loves baths!

    A little late but - Happy 0th birthday Grace! :bdaycake:

    Like the sound of the attic plan Dinah :)

    I can weigh in today too with a grand total of 0lbs lost! :o Must try harder.

    Do keep comping Cinny - I really got into it a few years ago and won lots, my best prize being a week in New York in a 5* hotel and business class flights :D

    So tired today - my friend's band had an album launch last night. Was a great night out but why must they do these things on a Monday night?!

    Wow! Well done :D I just figure the more I enter the better my chances. One I'm waiting on atm is some chocolates I won on Friday, super hormonal and needing chocolate but telling myself I have to wait until they come :rotfl:

    Hope you had fun at the album launch, and hope you feel more motivated than discouraged at staying the same weight wise. When I wouldn't lose any weight one week I'd just tell myself I hadn't gained any, rather than I hadn't lost any. Positive spin!

    Awww happy 'should've been your' birthday Grace! :D It's lovely that she got to meet your Grandad, sounds like the staff at the hospital are wonderful! :)

    I've lost 1lb this week :)

    Wow, can't believe you won a holiday Beccie, that's amazing! :T Going to have to get into comping again, I did a fair bit a few years ago but won absolutely nothing so kind of lost interest!

    I love that you're taking floaty toys on a walk with you so Ryder can play in the water Cinny! :)

    You're a very good wifey for giving NIM a man-cave Dinah! I offered OH the tiny hall cupboard but he wasn't sold! ;)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Happy 0th birthday for yesterday Grace, so glad to hear she's doing well and that she got to meet her great grandad.

    I've lost a grand total of 0lbs as well but that's about what I expected for last week, this week I'm going to make a proper start on it.

    I might start looking into comping, have been meaning to do it for a while but it just seems like Another thing at the moment, if you know what I mean.

    Happy 0th Birthday Grace!So lovely she got to meet her Great Grandad ,will be a lovely story to tell her when she is older. Sounds like the hospital are continuing to be amazing.

    I think I have caught hand foot and mouth from Poppy :(.My mouth is full of ulcers so can barely eat anything, waiting for doctors to ring me back.

    Beccie - that new york holiday win sounds amazing!

    Birdie - i thought of you yesterday as was on train home from work with some excitable americans who were on their way to see the Harry Potter set :D.

    Join Competition Club on FB, that's where I started just doing their dailies and then they post a list of comps ending today. I've set up a separate facebook for comps so I'm not flooding people on my personal one, so people I've added on there post new comps to enter then there's the board on here. Kind of surprised how many comps there are to enter!

    Hope you're feeling better soon, Wendz :( How's Poppy doing?

    Thanks, she is doing good and has been back at nursery. Think she must have had a milder version as she still managed to eat!
