    Monday night was good, lovely hotel, and drinks in the sunshine - what's not to like! :p

    Lovely, and unexpected, dinner with 'the man' last night - he invited me so a nice week so far! :)

    Pay day tomorrow. Have cleared Next and Capital One balances with my PPI money and will probably clear a couple of my smaller debts too. I really do need to work out my overall total still outstanding, I used to do it every month but have got out of the habit! Looks like a quieter few days until the weekend so time for healthy eating and getting organised as I have sooooo much coming up! Good to have stuff going on though, I am liking my life at the moment :)

    Still sort of looking for a job but really not sure what I'm actually looking for so not really making much progress with that!

    Am hen night planning today (whilst working too obviously :p)

    And it's sunny :j Happy Wednesday!

    :j 4 day weekend!

    Out tonight with 'the man' which was an unexpected invite so am looking forward to that :) He is then away for a week, and he said it would be good to catch up before he goes!

    Am off to Wales tomorrow for a friend's birthday and then at my Mum's on Monday so a busy weekend planned. Getting pedicure in the morning before I go as a little treat :)

    I've lost a pound this week, so half a stone now! I am really pleased as this week as been a bit hit-and-miss for various reasons so I'm glad to have lost whilst having a sociable week

    I have a really busy month coming up and I'm looking forward to it! Feeling quite positive at the moment :D

    Back to work - but at least it's hump day already! :p

    Enjoyed a lazy 4 days off, out for a friend's birthday on Saturday and at my Mum's on Monday - far too much eating and drinking!

    Feeling very bloated this morning, so back to the dieting with a vengence today! Feel like I've put all my weightloss back on! :o

    Meeting a friend for dinner tonight - need to stay sensible!

    This year is nearly half over and I don't really feel like I'm making progress :o Time for a long hard think about some goals for the rest of the year as I am just drifting! Weight loss/exercise certainly needs to be one of them but the bigger issue is work/cash! Do I concentrate on finding a more local/better paid job - or do I stick with the job I've got and move closer to it to free up some cash? I really need to make a decision - and then make a plan!

    Back on track with my diet but haven't weighed in yet. Nothing planned for the weekend but loads of stuff to get organised as I have a busy couple of weeks! Money seems OK so far - have been quite good with Amazon vouchers and work incentive vouchers so far for hen night/wedding stuff so not spent too much so far! :p

    Nice to hear you sounding happy.

    I know what you mean about being halfway through the year, my debts have creeped up a lot.....luckily its all 0% but I still need to get a rein on it but right now all I can think about is booking another holiday abroad as its raining and I wanna be back on the beach in Ibiza!

    :p

    Bleugh! Monday!

    Have had a lonely and not very productive weekend :(. Got some of the hen night stuff sorted, but haven't sorted out my apartment or done any exercise, and my eating has been awful :o

    Time to put a positive head on, 6 months of the year left and I really need to make some changes - inside and out! :p
