    oops it's me age you know! and you're right i did mean Freeby


    Nora you're right, Freeby is certainly sounding very upbeat and in control - long may it continue and i hope it's catching as i could do with some control at the moment.

    Good Morning :)


    Ooooops, did I miss Missus Knitty, always best to avoid her when she's bored :eek: you never can tell what mischief will happen :rotfl:


    Well, here I am. It's PAYDAY :T Dontcha just love payday for all of about 5 minutes and then it's gone again :mad:

    I have done quite well this month (modesty was never my strong point) :T My surplus stayed surplus and is now squirreled away for a rainy day .......... or maybe I should say sunny day as there appears to be nothing but rainy days at the moment :mad: All the bills have been paid and early too :) and I have managed to pay another big chunk of the carp one card .....look at my signature....go on......look...... under £700 -woop woop smiley-dance017.gif All (yes all :o) the others are coming down nicely too. I think I might be on a MSE roll smiley-happy090.gif Amazing what a little bit of focus can do. Here's hoping it can continue for another month :)

    I have fat club this morning :eek: I am cheating a bit and going to the morning class instead of the evening one and I'm hoping and wishing and praying (is that a song?) that I get to goal. Only 1 and a half pounds to lose. Cross all your extremities for me :) No doubt I'll be back to let you know later.

    What else, oh yes, I had a MSE moment on Sunday :) I had received a letter from one of the cc companies telling me they were increasing my rate of interest so I finally got round to phoning them to tell them to close the account and leave the interest rate as it was :) It was really very simple with no arguments or demands for cash or hard sell, I was pleasantly surprised smiley-happy088.gif I also phoned to cancel a identity theft policy that I had and they wanted to renew, I have no idea why I had it seeing as I have one that's free with my bank account :o And neither of them spotted someone trying to order an new mobile phone under my name a month or so back :mad:

    So the MSE/DFW wagon rolls on into another month for me.

    Hope you all have a brilliant Tuesday xx

    Oooooo, I'm so impressed with you!!:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    Actual surplus, plus a huge chunk off of that card!! Go on - look at your signature...blimey, that's amazing. You are amazing. Yes you are, don't argue.

    Is it me, or does it seem like someone's got her mojo back?:D

    That little dancing banana has mesmerised me!!!! :D

    I did look at your signature and I'm so impressed with the low number and all the crossings out of other numbers. But I can't find a "we're not worthy" little icon! ;)

    Good luck at skinny club today. I'm sending as many skinny thoughts to you as my lardy body will allow! :o:D

    Definitely let us know how you get on. x

    How wonderful! Right, you have to be my inspiration now! Hearing your excitement and knowing you're now 2.5lbs under goal weight is fantastic.

    Wooo -oooo! Look at you! That's absolutely fantastic - soooo well done!

    And all the money-stuff too (loving the sig!) - you really are inspirational.

    Am just about to do The Shred in your honour (do I look like Jillian Michaels yet? Just asking!) which, if you've ever done The Shred (DVD) is quite an energetic way of celebrating!

    I'm so pleased for you. :)
