    Well, the money side is going fine for me: £500 saved this month.

    As for the weight loss... hmm. Put on 1lb and lost all resolve.

    So... *drum roll please*... I declare to do 30 min exercise on my cross trainer (no excuses!) 5 times a week.

    So for any of you have money-saving or weight-loss related frustration to unleash you are more than welcome to do so in my direction in the form of nagging!

    I have a feeling my weight is more or less stable this week - so while I may be smaller than some of you, you're doing considerably better. :o

    I clocked up some overtime this week but DD had an A level crisis on Friday so work arranged cover and sent me home early, which was very helpful in very way except I have four hours less pay to add to my total - about £28.

    Still, I have picked up more than that and will add it all in once it gets as far as my payslip. Ebay is getting no response: only one item on and no bites yet. I'm not adding in the 2x87p I saved by listing it on a free weekend as I doubt I would have listed it without that.

    Almost no sundry bits of money this week just gone... maybe the wind blew away all the receipts I would have liked to have wombled. :D

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • No change in weight this week, but have had 2 meals out, plus finally finished all the Christmas goodies, so hoping to do much better from now on! Been dog sitting for friends this weekend, so two long walks in the blustering winds, up and down hill, should help with the weightloss and very much enjoyed at the time too.
