    Oh Choc! Sorry to hear of family problems! It really bugs me that families cause problems for wedding! No one other than the bride and groom should really have a say in anything. I hope you get it sorted.

    Here's to a stressfree day tomorrow! Take your anger out at combat class! :D

    Thanks hon. I did...pictured a few people and punched like mad :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    New day, going to try and focus on the positive rather than negative as can't change peoples behaviour but I can change my own.

    Todays mini-to-do list....
    • Working until 6pm
    • Combat class
    • Eat sensibly
    • Check online banking and work out plan for remaining couple of weeks until payday
    • Mini spruce of house
    That's it - small and simple. Nothing too major in there so should be able to do all of them. Combat isn't until 8pm so I will fit in a mini spruce during my lunch break or after work.

    I'm happy as weight 10st 7lbs this morning, the lightest i've been in a long while and I feel and look a lot better for losing those few lbs. Now my next aim is to get to 10st - I shall prob stop there and try and maintain it. However, I think this 7lbs is def going to be the hard part and it's going to be watching carefully what I eat :( not something i'm good at!

    No aims for me today. Day of rest exercise wise. Meeting friend after work for a coffee then travelling to Southampton to stay with another friend over night and then go to another friends little girls birthday Saturday afternoon. Followed by a visit to my Dad later on. All in all a nice weekend ahead visiting friends and family :)

    Which reminds me I must pack an overnight bag at some point!

    Hope everyone had a good day!

    £3.46 transferred to debt repayment fund. Means I now have £203.46 sat there ready and waiting to overpay on a particular debt. Although I think plan will be to actually save enough to clear one in full. This is my aim.

    Hey! Had a lovely time thank you :D

    It is a nightmare but it's less than 3 months to go now and I fully intend on enjoying every last minute until the big day itself! Glad you found a potential venue - so very exciting!!!!! :)

    Sounds like you got lots done. There are so many little bits to think about aren't there!

    It's the little bits that drive me crazy! I can cope with the big jobs, they're straight forward (most of the time!) the little things as niggly!
