    That's sooo much cheaper than my £2.6k dream holiday to Iceland. Sounds exciting, I hope you have a fab time when you go

    Iceland is my dream destination too :) A friend went a couple of years back and said it was amazing. I talked to OH about it earlier this year so I think the plan is to look at it seriously next year which is another reason for doing this challenge so I can save up after Xmas. Excited already.

    Have a good time in HK/Bangkok psychopathbabble!

    You know, I would have said exactly the same thing to anyone else on here.

    It's hard to see the good that you're doing and not beat yourself up sometimes. I couldn't face sandwiches again this week and it's going to be another awfully manic week at work so I bought 3 days worth of lovely salads and fruit from M&S (a rare treat but we were next to one) so I don't have to think about making lunches and finding healthy snacks as it's all ready for me. I've got a lovely Thai Sweet Chilli Chicken Noodle Salad mmmmmmmm.

    Oops, just noticed the time, I'm off out for tea again! Social butterfly at the moment :rotfl: but having my usual chicken and bacon salad which is 2-4-1 so very MSE...

    See you all later peeps, I cannot wait until Wednesday until I can add up all your totals paid in January!!! :j:j:j
    I read the other week that when you are under stress, the normal controls you have like will power disappear or lessen - so you just can't help it :D.

    Hello! Back in a freezing cold flat, sore and bruised, but had a great week snowboarding!

    I have a new total, after a few payments went out while I was away. I've got a horrible feeling I'm going to run short this month and may have to backtrack slightly, but for the time being...

    #57 £3,551.92/£16,136.77 (22.01%)

    Blimey, you've got a few posts to catch up on! Glad to have you back... :D
