    Another busy work day yesterday but scrounged tea at my Mum's so a NSD! Managed to eat well too so hoping for some weightloss this week, I think I'm going to make Friday's weigh in day

    Got my washing machine fixed - and it was only £30 which wasn't too bad. So now have loads of washing to do a the weekend as well as put the carpet back down and clear everything up

    But now there's a warning light on on my car :mad: Booked it in after work tomorrow so fingers crossed it's not something serious!

    Managed to get away on time and take my car to the garage. Some mysterious computer type glitch now fixed for £30 - phew, big car repair bills I do not need. Have booked it in for service and MOT in a couple of weeks but most of this is (hopefully) saved for

    Hope it's not going to be a year of things breaking :mad: Now I've had problems with my internet! I use a Vodafone dongle and it just wouldn't connect. I'm now using a free 3 pay-as-you-go which I got as an extra with my phone contract. It actually seems quite fast so now I think I'm going to look at using it all the time and cancelling my contract. I don't actually use loads and I think I might actually save a few pounds a month - every little helps! ;)

    Weighed in this morning - and I've lost 2lbs :j:j Am chuffed with that, and with sticking to my being tidy and organsied plan all week

    No big plans for the weekend. I am getting my nails done tomorrow, and want to make a start on a declutter of my apartment. Also thinking of going to an exercise class or doing a DVD, and going for sunbed :)

    Had my nails done, been for a sunbed and done a few errands. Used all my Nectar points and got a new vacuum from Argos, boring purchase but at least technically free :p

    Treated myself to Marie Claire and a scented candle so a lazy evening planned. Got some washing on and done some tidying so time to relax now

    Done a food shop (sensible) and made an Eve's Pudding to take to my Mum's. Flat is tidy, just need to make up my bed now the sheets have dried, another load of washing in and just a couple more small jobs to do before I go to Mum's for tea. Went for a sunbed too

    Watched the football this afternoon - phew! :p I won £16 betting on the score (just a family thing) so I'm chuffed with that - a little treat this week I think!

    Hello lovely,

    well done on the 2lb loss :D
    I've chosen Monday as my weigh-in day - a loss on a friday is like an invitation to binge over the week end to me :(
    Really hope your car service & mot is reasonable :)

    Such a busy week at work I haven't done much else! Been for after work drinks a couple of times too

    Dinner at a friend's last night which was lovely, and have a work dinner tonight - so free food ;) Hadn't spent much this week but it's just cost me £27 as I needed 3 pairs of shoes heeling :mad:

    And I've lost 3lbs this week :j
