    Hey Taxi,

    Congratualtions on the past year: you have done brilliantly in changing your life for the better.

    I have no doubt that you will continue these changes in 2012 and then improve on them...and then some!

    Take care, my 4-wheeled friend, and congratulations on your achievements so far! :D

    Good Morning my lovelies..hope you're all ok on this blustery day.

    My lovely grandson is 7 today and is very happy with his presents...where do all the years go?
    I walked there and back to DD1s house last night so that was 30 mins exercise

    On the MSE front I've paid £200 off the CC today so it's now down to £3000
    I've ordered £18 from paypal and when that hits my bank I'll pay that off my CC too
    Walked to bank and back this morning to bank takings..so another 20 mins exercise

    Since getting back I've
    Washed pots
    Transferred money between various bank accounts
    Done accounts
    Made 2 phone calls

    Still to do today

    Cook dinner
    Wash pots
    Make another call
    Do some course work

    Tomorrow is WWs and hopefully I'll have lost something

    Lost 2.5lbs at WWs today bringing me to 4 1/2 st lost in 50 weeks.

    Had a gorgeous lunch of mozzarella and pepperoni stuffed mushrooms...asda whoopsie 20p and mango sorbet and am really full.
    Got some good bargains in Asda and Tesco last night...from tesco got myself 2 pairs leggings,2 tops and jumper for a grand total of £38...3x packs of christmas cards 68p each
    In Asda got DD black jeans £5,DH jeans £8,shirt and cardi together £4,for JJ cars activity set £1.25,Dr who jelly sweets 50p and tub of chocolate buttons 50p,Charlotte princess jelly sweets 50p and tub of chocolate buttons 50p,some chocolate tree decorations 25p,tin of cadbury chocolate biscuits £2,box of foxs chocolate biscuits £1.50,2 x cartons of lily o briens chocolate 75p each
    Am surprised at how cheap the clothes were and they will keep me going through the next few months.DH needs new shoes and trainers so will look out for them.
    Had to renew DHs photo on his driving licence so that was another £20 spent.Luckily I didn't have to buy photos as I did it online and they take your passport number and if you've renewed it in the last 5 years you can use that photo so quite a good system.
    Need to do some housework as haven't done any yet and I think we have DHs friend coming later.

    Thats an amazing weight loss at your stage in the process! Congratulations!

  • Well done on the weight loss its really coming off steady isn't it, I know it takes effort so well done.

    Re the driving licence do they send a reminder out when the card needs renewing as I have no idea if my photo licence needs renewing and I've looked for it to check but I seem to have misplaced it :o
