I was trying to find Barbeduk to say a Huge CONGRATULATIONS for getting yourself debt free - and it's not even halfway to christmas yet!!

On my travels I spotted hismissus though:

Feeling rather grumpy today. Despite all my exercising this week and eating fairly well, I've lost no weight at all. Had a rant at the WiiFit man, called him a liar who was sulking cos we'd not used him all week, yes I know, I sound bonkers! :rotfl:

I thought it was worth saying not to cry over it! You might have lost weight and gained muscle? Or it could just be a certain time of the month? (you don't have to answer that one!) Our bodies fluctuate so much with water weight and all that nonsense.

I've been trying to lose weight for ages, but I've only lost about 1.5 st over 6 months because I keep sabotaging myself. I know I've had a few splurges but the biggest problem I have is the cost of dieting! Healthy food is so expensive and as much as I want to lose the weight, I know it means buying a whole new wardrobe 3 times over as I lose the 3 dress sizes I want.

:D:D:j:j:j:beer::beer::beer::j:j:j:D:D:D

And you know what? I've just come back from town, spent £3 in the pound shop!!!

Has taken all morning to sink in, was initially a huge anti climax but now I can't stop grinning like this .

Could I honestly say that I couldn't have done it without you lot :A:A. So here's a dodgy hug for each and every one of you.:grouphug:

Now just a small matter of the mortgage, £196,000. Interest only. Holy macaroni we don't do things by halves!!

Have a fab Friday everyone.

Congratulations, that's really fantastic news:T! Enjoy your celebrations!

Avogirly - Just my opinion but I would sell the watch and look forward to a new start!
Tryinghard - glad you are feeling better getting out of a job you hated, the stress can make you feel so ill
1sttimer - I liked your post about trying to get the balance right, I tend to go 'all or nothing' too and it puts a lot of pressure on us
His Missus - Losing weight is so difficult and when you work hard and nothing happens for a while it's soul destroying! Keep with it and it will work out for you
Maddie 57 - Well done on getting back on track!!
Psychopathbabble - You are doing so well! It won't be long until you are debt free now!! :j
Loubie Lou - Sounds like you had a great time in Brighton! I could really use a holiday just now and this weather is a nightmare!
Tirlittan - Good luck for the November target! Keep at it!

mf0u Thanks for remembering me in your epic post! I am working quite hard at the moment trying to make some more money and also proving myself in a new job. Don't think it will be for ever but not a bad thing being able to work overtime, I feel lucky to have the opportunity but I am feeling very knackered by it all and its nice to have someone notice and sympathise

Barbeduk congratulations!! I am mightily impressed and envious of your success! Please stay onboard and keep the rest of us in line

I've just figured out a way to pay off my CU loan, which is the only debt I'm paying interest on at the moment Hopefully this will be done next week, and will take me well under the 2k mark. Kerri I'm right behind you!!
