    So, busy day ahead! I've got a friend coming round at 11AM, then I'm going into town for some bits and pieces, then fitting at 3PM, then we're off out for a meal for a birthday celebration later. Phew!

    So, definitely not a NSD ;)

    In other news, I have lost 2lbs this week :j :j heading in the right direction, finally.

    Thanks Keiss and Taxi :)

    My dress is so so pretty, and it fits and everything, but I still look fat :( I could have cried in the shop. It's fine from the front, but at the back it isn't. But, how much can I realistically lose in less than 3 weeks? I'm still aiming for another 6lbs, but unless a miracle happens, I can see it not happening.

    I just want to feel pretty, sigh. :(

    I was good at the indian last night - I had one spoonful of mushroom rice from OH, a bite of a naan bread and I got lamb shaslick which is the lamb grilled in the oven - no sauce! And it was very nice :) and quite healthy, which shows that you can go out and enjoy yourself. I weighed myself this morning just to make sure and I'm the same weight, so pleased with that.

    Me and Mr SF have to food shopping today and then he's going to go and try on his suit as it's arrived, and I'll have a mooch round town for a bit. The weather is so lovely today; sun is shining and it's not very windy, so I'm hoping that I'll get chance to see outside for a bit too.

    Have a good Sunday!

    Thanks Taxi :)

    NSD for the SF household. I'm feeling really tired today and just a bit under the weather, so am having a lazy evening, watching rubbish on the tv :p
