By 'eck it's blowy out there tonight, hope you're all alright out there especially those in the wilds of Scotland




Good Things since I last posted:j

• Went running today and have giant blister to prove it
• Have not broken diet still
• Overall debt has reduced slightly (baby steps)
• Electricity dd has mysteriously reduced so it looks like we are in credit because they don't do that for nowt. £101 per month instead of £117 :Tand our consumption should go down further this year with the cavity wall and new windows. Plus the bizarrely mild weather we're having.

• Still no news about missing money

Morning Banwa and all

Giant blister not good, hope it doesn't hurt too much. One of the guys I work with is an avid marathon runner and he sometimes gets some bad ones so make sure you look after your feet.

Good news on not breaking the diet and reducing the debt, every bit helps. More savings for you with the electricity :T, that should be a nice little earner.

:mad: to still not knowing where the missing money has gone.

Take care

Hi Banwa, ouch to the blister, no pain no gain eh? :rotfl:

I am back with the programme now as far as the diet is concerned but only since yesterday so I will refrain from weighing myself until next week (will try anyway :cool:)

Thanks for reading ginger17, if you're thinking about starting a diary, then do it, there's nothing like it for keeping motivated

I think the idea of doing a marathon is, quite frankly, mental
£200 a year saving on electricity. Dead chuffed.

I haven't been brave enough to weigh myself yet. My attractive uniform at work was even more unsightly after the new year:eek:, so I am going to use that as a measure.

• Went running yesterday
• Now have running buddy at work. Once a week only but she is sporty so it will spur me on to keep training so I don't hold her back
• Also have a chocolate rationing lady. She takes chocolate off me (did I mention I work in a chocolate facotry?) if it arrives on my desk and gives me a small allowance each day. It is working quite well
• So healthy eating still going well
• £300 has reappeared and grown a spare £50 too:j
• Still haven’t bought any food from work canteen, have taken my dinner every day
• Was restrained at hairdressers, £19 for roots and didn’t let the beautician near me (so i do need to tackle my moustache myself)
• Shower curtain demoulded.
• At work, year end target round-up is looking good for me getting a decent bonus

Hi Banwa

That's lots of good news items :T, especially the £300+

I used to have a running buddy at work, but it was a long time ago and she has since left . It was really good though for keeping the motivation up as I didn't want to let her down. She was far fitter than me, so it used to make me push myself further. Sounds like you might have the same .

Boo to the car :mad:...but there again, that gives you another year .

What's a triathlon suit btw? Might have a peak at g00gle to find out.
