Afternoon everyone
I still only have one item that will sell on eb today, maybe some last minute bids will arrive, fingers crossed.
I had planned to get more stuff ready for eb today but had a visit from him again, I just had to ask him to leave as he was sat telling me about his bit of fluff and their brat, why would I want to hear any of that?!
Why does he always manage to ruin anything and everything for me, I have lost the motivation to do anything other than sit on this sofa now!
As its very quiet on here I hope you are all busy haveing fun and money making x

Haha love it Legend! Sounds like the liquid diet isn't good for drinking but at leats you had a fry up

I ordered the celebrity slim packs in the end too, just waiting delivery but realistically I am a little sceptical but we shall see. I only want to lose half a stone (Christmas weight that wont shift) so I figure if it works for you ladies then it is worth a shot.

Have you been using it alongside www.myfitnesspal.com? I use this website to check my calories and if nothing else it helps me decide whether or not I can justify 'just a few squares of choc' lol most named brands and store brands are recongnised and I checked and the celebrity slim products are on here too so easy meal planning I'm trying to keep to 1200 calories a day and two 30 minute work outs a week alongside the plan so hopefully I will have shed the weight in two weeks too. It also tells you how many colries, fat, carbs and protien you have had so perfect for checking low carb foods. 638 Calories left for the day, so I guess thats just dinner then

Trying to have a final push on the totals before the end of January and they are looking good, VO still hasn't added the surveys from weeks and weeks ago yet so can't cashout there yet. Close on loony, and MS.

Don't forget S&S everyone, and don't forget to use your new booklet as I have already had a letter telling me off for not using it!!!

Awww Kec hun, sounds like you need a big (((((((((((((hug))))))))))))

Can't you tell him to not come around again, just cut off contact with him? Sounds like he wants someone to talk to but he needs to find someone who he didn't screw over, madness that he thinks you would care about what's happening in his world right now.

I agree with Savvybunny - surely it would be better not to see him. You could tell him you were just about to go out or dont feel well and not let him in.

I dont know why he is still calling round - it could be that he is being decent and just checking you are ok - but if it makes you feel worse its not fair.

I had a letter too Savvy - telling me off for not using my new barcodes, but I did. It's probably because I got mine after everyone else - it must have been held up in the post.

Karonher - how are you supposed to make £500 per week writing? I think it's some kind of scam honey. You watch you he doesn't make you pay out any money. Like you say, if there was a way, we'd all be doing it.

Legend - I knew you could do it. I'd kill for a fry up though. I CAN have them on ww, but I've been sticking to it religiously. Hopefully another couple of lb's off tomorrow morning, and then going to the gym afterwards. Ohhh get me. It's like a miracle. I could hardly walk a couple of months ago - I wobbled. :rotfl:

Thanks for the reminders ladies about shop/scan. Off to do it now while I remember.

It's really quiet on here - I hope everyone's ok and doing well.

Legendmum

Oooh shop and scan must do it now before bed! Yes bed by 8.30 as I am so tired after last night and a rough week with Connor being ill! Only thing is he has finsihed antibiotics course and his tonsils still have the yellow spots so I reckon it wont be long before it returns!

Elysia have you tried turkey bacon? Much lower in fat than the real thing and I like it! No sausages allowed though! and no toast! ARGH!

Legendmum

Ooh forgot to add sold 3 things on Ebay this weekend so £20 there! Also Facebook selling is around £30 and I won on the bingo that time so defo hit the make £50 target!

nicola00

I've been MIA lately
Have been getting stuck into the clearing, really not even so much as a dent made to the loft but every little helps
Got loads finished , finishing and listed on ebay this weekend, should clear £100+ after fees. All the new stuff I've been listing is 99p so not expecting much in the way of £££'s

I've had an ear infection which I've just been pushing through but its really hurting so think it will be bed and bath soon..... and try no think about the 35 items I have to parcel up and take to the PO tomorrow

Hope everyone is well

elysia2003

Nicola - I hope you get better soon. Earache/headache/toothache are terrible. Those three are the worst pains ever. Good luck with all that packing tomorrow too. Well done hun.

Legend - used to love that turkey bacon, but can't find it in my Mr T's. I'll have to pop to Asd@ and see if they have it. Thanks for the reminder. I hope you manage to get a good nights sleep, and that Connor's sore throat doesn't return.

I've just done s&S, and managed another survey. I think I'm going to call it a night now too, so Goodnight everyone. See you tomorrow afternoon. Take care xxx

The person I am doing the plan with works with the job center - its a council and govt funded company that helps people set up their own companies and get their own funding its just that I think he is being overly optimistic. He says he has set up 2 writers in the last few years - one only wanted to write what they wanted and failed but the other is making more than £500 a week doing articles for magazines.

As you say if it was that easy everyone would be doing it but I dont like to tell him he is not being realistic. I just think if I start off with this plan and after 12 months am not making that it will feel like I have failed even though I would happily settle for £150 a week.
