Hi folks.PLMBL 2.5lbs tonight so I am happy enough with that
. 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 wayI 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. 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 xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

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. 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
. 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. 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 xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

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. Was lush and I had eaten a huge bowl oflentil soup earlier
Greedy moo that I am.
I got my nails done today at a salon. Midnight blue shelac
. 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. 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
. 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.
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. 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:5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
