    Aaarrgh! All in a tizz over dinner tonight! :o Went shopping last night but didn't get anything except some shoes which I think I'm taking back! Now I don't like what I've brought with me and am thinking lunch time shopping!!!! Need to calm down! ;)

    £22 spent on a black top in River Island! I feel better now, but really think I need to have a proper evaluation of my wardrobe - see what I've got, get rid of stuff that doesn't fit - and actually get a look for my life and shape now! :p

    Well after all the build up last night turned out very low key! It seems my perception of the plan and his were very different! :o Anyway, no posh restaurant (my choice) but a pub meal and a chat. There is definately not going to be anything more there but I feel surprisingly OK about it! Maybe it's the sunshine but I am feeling quite upbeat today. And the 'panic buy' top can go back! :p

    Have ordered some much needed 'basics' from Next - jeans, a navy blazer and a top which should be delivered today. Will see what fits/looks good before declaring on the clothes challenge. Same with some black skinnies I have ordered from Wallis. Certainly need a clear out/re-vamp of my wardrobe for my life/shape and to get some proper basics in place. All sounds sensible apart from the silver peep toes I accidently bought - but I love them! :D Not sure if I can bear to take them back!

    My Amazon vouchers arrived this morning so I have ordered my 'free' Ted Baker shoes http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ted-Baker-Womens-Svana3-9-11537/dp/B006GY0DOC/ref=sr_1_15?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1337762093&sr=1-15

    And other money news! I've had an offer from Lloyds for my PPI claim of £452! :) I am happy to accept, it took me half an hour to fill in the form and I wasn't in any way convinced that I was owed anything so am more than happy with that. Should be paid into the bank on 11th June. I am going to be very sensible and pay it straight to debt - a spending spree is not the way to go!

    Odd but nice evening yesterday - offered to help out and drop something off for 'the man' and ended up being invited out to eat with him and his daughter! Life is odd sometimes :p

    Out for dinner tonight with some work colleagues so the diet is really out of the window this week - am dreading weighing in at the weekend! :o

    New top and sunglasses today from my Next order which I am pleased with - am now on a mission to do a wardrobe overhaul! I have loads of clothes and nothing to wear - I need to have a wardrobe for my life/shape now! :D

    Enjoyed the dinner out last night and didn't blow the budget either! Nice quiet weekend planned, hopefully enjoying some sunshine. Only other plan is to start the wardrobe overhaul :)

    Lovely weekend - shopping and sitting in the garden, I also have bright pink nails :) Bought some fab wedges, which I am wearing today, and some chinos. Have gone a bit mad in the last week after being good for a long time but I have decided to treat myslef with the PPI money rather than pay it straight off debt. I'm sure many will say this is wrong but my debts are slowly going down, I am coping with them and I am comfortable with my decision

    Had a quick drink after work on Friday with 'the man' - so that was 3 evenings out of 5 last week! Anyway, trying not to think about it too much, and just go with the flow. We both have a busy few weeks coming up so it will all go quiet

    Lost 2lbs last week :j Am happy with that, means I have achieved my 6lbs target for May and as I had a bit of a social week last week I am very happy to have lost anything

    Have a drinks reception at a country house hotel tonight, work related, so that should be nice

    Pay day on Thursday, have got through this month failry well but have a very busy June with a birthday, and hen night, a party and a wedding! An expensive month I suspect!
