    Just 10 more sleeps and a bl00dy long flight and then I'll see my darling girl for the first time since DSs wedding in October 2012.

    Today I'm packing my cases, I've got a busy week next week. I'm super chuffed to actually be packing size 16/14 clothes. I'm so super happy and excited and not at all disappointed that I can't have chocs or flowers for Valentines Day.

    I nearly bought a pair of Jasper C0nran, size 14, slouch trousers yesterday with the money OH gave me but as they were only 30% off in an advertised 70% off sale I decided against. £21 for trousers that may only fit a few months seemed a tad pricey. :money:

    Not sure if OH & I are going out this afternoon as he probably wants to watch the rugby at 3, he's in work until 1. He's taken from Tuesday night until next Wed night off work so we can have some quality time together before I go.

    Have a great weekend all, off for a bath now in an attempt to warm up

    The thing that was going to keep me busy this week was postponed last night so I've now got a lovely relaxing week to look forward to.

    I cannot believe this time next week I will be on my way to the airport.

    Yesterday I picked up those JC trousers, now 70% off and am so chuffed with them. They will be lovely to change into on the plane.

    Had DGD2 yesterday and it was lovely. She was in such a good, happy, fun mood, she made OH & I smile all day. Took her home and saw DGS for an hour and then picked DGD1 up from school to save DDIL the walk. DDIL is looking and sounding so much happier after our chat last week, which is good to see.

    Not much to report money wise, other than I messed up when taking out my ISA. Took a better rate deal and then got charged to withdraw money which was in the t&cs but I didn't realise. Needed to transfer enough to cover 3 months bills while I'm away so not stressing over whether things get paid. So annoyed with myself, £36 down the drain.

    Oh well, can't change it now. Have a good week all

    Thanks Lucky

    Doing a happy dance this morning as I've lost 50lbs since last August. I cannot tell you how amazing this makes me feel. 3.5stone in 6 months with holidays, Christmas and a couple of big social events thrown into the mix.

    I cannot wait to see the look of surprise on DDs face
