  • Hi folks.PLMBL 2.5lbs tonight so I am happy enough with that :D. 1 stone 12.5lbs so far. Would love to get 2 next week as that will take me over 2 stones and also under another stone marker.

    SBO still a fair way to go but I am definitely on my way :D I will be so excited to get rid of BOS and also to get into the 10's ( when it happens) it's so close I can feel it. I have £500 in a slush fund and I am so so tempted just to do it but I do like the safety of that money being there.

    Another spendy day today :(. Paid for 12 weeks at slimming world, bought some cereal bars and the magazine. I love reading the magazine and it always has really good recipes in it.

    My brothers birthday today so went up for a wee blether tonight. We are goingoutfor dinner on Saturday and he is insisting on paying for us all :D. I'll get the drinks in but it will e a much cheaper night than I was expecting. Was going to use £100 from slush fund but will now take money and whatever I don't spend from the £100 I will pay off of BOS, I was going to spend it anyway so I may as well. DD is away out with her BF 'to talk things over' Booooooring :rotfl:.

    Tired tonight so will e heading off to bed soon. Take care guys xx

    Its so lovely to hear you sounding so cheerful, you deserve it hun xx

  • Grr just lost my post :mad:

    Anyways, as I was saying am feeling good just now and very positive. Hopefully am turning lots of corners in my life. Looks like a wee glitch happening health wise though. I've been taking minor dizzy spells even whilst sitting down and seems my BP is through the roof again. I'm a bit disappointed as I am losing weight but I have had bloods done today and I've to see doc in 2 weeks so I will get checked out then. So tiny bummer :o. Am on BP tabs already but maybe needing stronger ones. Thyroid being checked as well as my body temperature gauge is on the blink. I am freezing cold for alot of the time. I am sitting here with a blanket on and all the poor folks round me in work are melting as I cannot bear windows open. When I go for tea or lunch they open them and breathe :o. Hopefully get some answers from that though.

    £9.73 paid to card today. This was the odds in both my accounts. Every little helps. Not much more happening money wise unfortunately.

    I bought a new dress for my night this weekend. Really nice and a much smaller size :D. Was £40 reduced to £10 in Mackays so I was very pleased with that and it will do for work after I wear it on Saturday. Bery bargainous. Spent £11.50 in Iceland but it's all good.

    I hope you are all warm and cozy xx

  • Aww get well soon MIT. make sure you are taking care of yourself and you have been working extra long hours lately. Maybe you are doing a bit much x

  • Aww I am fine. Was reading something that said that caffeine raises blood pressure so I might have to ditch the fizzy juice. I am a real addict. It will be difficult for me :eek:. I'll see how it goes.

    I am fit to burst. Just had thee most mostrous dinner ever. Veggie sausage ( was surprisingly tasty) bacon, scrambled eggs, beans and HM slimming world roasties. I didn't know whether to eat it or climb up it :D. Was lush and I had eaten a huge bowl oflentil soup earlier :o Greedy moo that I am.

    I got my nails done today at a salon :D. Midnight blue shelac :D. I have never ever been to a salon so the girl was shouting 'we have a virgin' :eek:. Been a while since I was called that :rotfl:.

    NSD today as had a voucher for the nail treatment. Working tomorrow but my pal is back from his detached duty and is picking me up so I will save on petrol. Hopefully DD will finish painting my hall. I don't want to nag but I am sick of the sight of it half painted. So I will nag if needs be.

    Only £80'ish from being in the 10's. Am so excited and then I get excited about single figures. Should be in April at some point :D. Am away for a wee snooze xx

  • Had a great night and hardly spent anything which is always a plus.

    I think my heating has broken down :(. Am in work and will check again when I go home but it is leaking in 2 places so I reckon it is dying on me. Am gutted. The only positive I can take from it is that I am in a position that I can use my overtime money, cashback and grants to cover about £1500. I have no idea what it will cost me but I want 7 radiators, a heated towel rail and a new boiler. As I have mentioned before we have no heating upstairs in our house so it can get pretty cold at times. Peed off big time tbh :(

  • :jyay heating working again. Managed to sort it out when I came home and can hopefully nurse it along for another while longer. Even if I can get through till next year. I must admit though to being very naughty tonight and I have the elctric heater on in lounge and one on upstairs. Because the heating has not been on for 2 days the house is freezing and I cannot thole the cold at all :o. So I have radiator on full, 1 heater of the fire on and sitting with a fleece blanket wrapped around me and my hands are so cold I can hardly type :rotfl:.

    Had chilli from the freezer tonight. NSD today :D.

    I am very grumpy today but then this is day 22 of working and I am really shattered. I came home and house was a complete riot so I have written down a list of the jobs needing done daily, bi-weekly, weekly and monthly and allocated duties to the kids as I am sick to death of their laziness. DS groaned a bit but tough luck as I am not their slave. I gave then the analogy of if I was sharing a house with any other 2 adults then I'd be damned sure I'd be picking up after them constantly along with everything else so why should I do it for them. Once I showed them how little time their tasks would actually take they calmed down and agreed to them all :D. Time will tell mind you;)

    Soa very early night for me tonight I reckon and maybe I will have a sunnier disposition in the morning :rotfl:
