    The last 2 days have been all about eating! Meal out last night, then a pub lunch :) Yummy - but feeling a bit stuffed now! Looks like it's back to the leaves - and back on track with Lula's challenge! :p

    Well another week gone by and it's Monday again! Not much achieved, watch the footie yesterday - very dissappointed! :(

    Am back to sqaure one weight wise (sorry Lula :o) so yet again time for some determined effort. Have a night out next Tuesday so time for a mini goddess bootcamp methinks!

    Moneywise, this month doesn't seem too bad so far but loads on in June so good to keep on the staight and narrow this month!

    Just a plodding day yesterday, ate well so I'm feeling less bloated this morning

    In money news, managed to get my friend's wedding present and my neice's birthday present using incentive points from work so money neutral :) And treated myself to some earrings with my Nectar points :D

    No point apologising to me sweetie, I've done exactly the same :rotfl:
    Went for a huge walk on Saturday & then felt the need to eat 2 x giant marshmallow cookies :o.

    Then on sunday I had a pub lunch followed by coffee cupcakes for tea so ruined my no-cake month too :o:o.

    Bored with walking in the rain so not done any outdoor exercise for a week either :o:o :o.

    Oh dear, I am not a good example :rotfl:

    Struggling to stick to my diet, feeling 'bleurgh' and not sure why :( Seem to have that 'where's my life going/what's the point feeling' for some reason

    Went to see my niece singing in church last night, which was lovely. However, that appears to be my social life for the week - a work dinner tomorrow has been cancelled and 'the man' is very quiet this week! :(

    Moneywise, all jogging along OK. Have sent £30 to Barclaycard and £10 to Frasercard today. I keep meaning to check on my total debt - my signature is out of date now. Cancelled my travel insurance renewal, as I have upgraded my bank account to include travel insurance and AA cover - seems a good deal and the flat tyre the other week made me realise not having AA cover could be false economy :eek:

    Feeling better today - call from 'the man' last night! :p But then the worry that a call should not make this difference to my mood!

    Another pound off so I'm please with that too! And just ordered a 6 month subscription to Elle with Nectar points :D

    TFI Friday! Work is bugging me, some people just have no respect! Anyway, need to keep my head down and power through today, then it's weekend! :) Nothing planned but loads planned! Need to exercise, go for a sunbed, do some shopping and pampering and clean and tidy my apartment - I am determined not to drift through this weekend not achieving anything! I can feel a list coming on!

    Oh, and need to keep on track with the dieting too! I'm happy with this week's 4lb loss but somehow I need to find a way to build on that and stop yo-yoing! That is always my downfall :mad:

    Ok-ish weekend but not much achieved except some serious Kindle time :D Have eaten quite well for a weekend, have weighed this morning and I have maintained last weeks 4lb loss which I'm really pleased with - I have a terrible habit of slipping back! Target is 2lbs this week

    Went into town yesterday but all I got was a Clinique foundation which I bought with loyalty points! :). Saw some fab Ted Baker shoes which I woudl love for my friends wedding - but £120! However, I've just found them on Amazon for £104 and I have a 20% discount code so £83! I have enough Nectar points so I have just redeemed - they usuallly come within 48hours so hopefully I can order this week! Very happy bunny! :j:j

    Out for dinner with 'the man' tomorrow - nice restaurant as a long standing thank you :) Not sure what to wear - may sneak to the shops at lunchtime and see if I can see a nice top to wear with black trousers. Tuesday is a funny night to go out, not too dressy but not jeans either, and suppose a lot will be after work crowd so I'm thinking black trousers, black top and amazing shoes - snakeskin I think! :D
