I've been rubbish at my sparkle challenge :-( Although i've lost 6lbs on SW so far, I don't think i'll get my 1lb this week though, gone a bit off track!
Although.... I did go to Zumba last Thursday and will be going again this week too, so thats a step in the right direction!

Ok Oven cleaned. Now started on my lounge. I'm even cleaning the windows :eek:. I'm going to start 2 pots for sparkling. 1 for me so I can buy nice things for myself and one for the house. I rarely buy myself anything so that'll be fab to have a fund just for me and the house needs so much done to it that it would be great to get a wee fund going for it. Each time I get to £1 in my virtual pots I will transfer the money to my online accounts and save it until I have enough to buy something nice.
Each small job I do in the home I will put in 10p but a whole days cleaning etc or an ironing for instance I will put in 50p. I'll wing it as I go along. Doing sparkle things for me will be 10p per tme. The first household thing I will be saving for is paint and then curtains for my bedroom. My room is tiny and I found a lovely roll of green paper for it so I want to paint 3 walls white and do my gloss and the one wall green. I can't wait to get it done. It'll look fabulous.
Clothes wise I desperately need t-shirts and ASDA do plain colored t-shirts for £3 so each time I have that amount I will buy another colour until I have a few of them. I love a plan

Well done on cleaning the oven so quickly, Millionaire in training! It usually takes me ages, as it's a job I also dislike intensely. But I've learned to put the radio on whilst cleaning to relieve the boredom. And I hope you treated yourself to some well-deserved sparkling/pampering after all that hard work?
Unfortunately, my exercise regime isn't going to plan
As soon as the weather turned lovely & sunny, I went cycling around my local park. It went so well the first day, I was hoping to cycle 2-3 times a week (never been one to lack ambition :rotfl:) but it's been miserable all week, so I haven't been in the least motivated to get on my bike...will try again this coming week. How is everyone else doing?
Btw, instead of exercising, I've been decluttering my room. My mini daily challenge is to reduce my hoard/treasure trove by five items a day...it will get tougher with each day but I am determined to reduce all the clutter in my life!

Morning all, not had much chance to Sparkle with Ebays mammoth free listing weekend, been sorting / listing like a Loon for a couple of days
Good to see Sparkles spreading to other areas of life too :T well done on the decluttering and cleaning
Exercise for me is my down fall, it just dont seem to make the time, always something else to doBuild your own dreams ~ or someone will hire you to help build theirs

Just getting ready to go for my weekly swim. Let's see if I can at least match the 26 lengths from last week. Feeling shattered just thinking about it so I don't think that I'll beat it!
All to the good and maybe a bit of a manicure when I get back:D0 -

I stayed up very late to read this thread last night and then forgot to post in it!
I would love to join, I really do need to regain/find my sparkle. most of the time I look ill, white as a sheet with spots (although they have been better recently) and I am over weight. by about 45 pounds. have been for years.
I have also been single for ages and have 0 confidence with men.
I have joined a gym and been going about twice a week, it makes me feel better but hasn't had much of an impact on the weight etc.
Today I pledge to buff my nails! how exciting is that!
I am starving now so need breakfast
