    If only Froggy - about 12lbs to go, so that's July time and then BMi is back to 25 :T. Blinking slow progress though.

    Hi Tilly well done on the weight loss , fantastic :T
    MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁
  • Thanks El and NewGirly, I think Mr T hiding the scales helped. I'd hidden them before, then dig them out again - when I realised I wasn't losing much weight - probably down to lack of exercise with injury - I found it really de motivating. He was right to banish them :T

    Plans for today - running late currently however, financials tonight, so spending diary and checking off statements (Mr&Mrs), dog walking (Mr&MrsT), ironing (MrsT), cooking dinner (MrT).

    46p TT OP
    All monies have dropped into saving pots
    Mr T's bonus this week - OP

    We are starting to plan a major holiday next year - Miss T will be leaving home and we want a significant family vacation to mark the year. Went and picked up tons of brochures yesterday, so will be sitting, reading, mulling and making plans over the next few weeks.

    Right, best get cracking

    Have a fab Monday

    Tilly x

    Congratulations on the weight loss- well done:T
    I use a site called my fitness pal (that is free) to log what I eat and it is great.

    The holiday sounds great- any idea where you fancy? It used to be one of my great pleasures planning holidays, back before the kids. We are off to a caravan in Northumberland at the end of May- I don't get quite the same planning buzz these days:rotfl:
