    Fantastic well done PWD you are flying along x
    MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035
    EST DFD JAN 2021 (that needs to change)
    NOW JAN 2019 (that still needs to change)
  • Thanks guys, up to my eyes here, DD has started her new school and it is a very long day with drop off and pick up at both ends of her day for me but hopefully we will get more organised and into a better routine as the days pass!
    13-4 this morning and £1.68 from Quidco!!
    After today only three more weeks of the very low calorie diet phase to go, might be harder going back to real food.
    13-3 would get me out of obesity and into 'overweight' and then below 11st would get me into the 'normal' category. Hopefully with another three weeks i should get into the 12st something range and then it might be alternate day very low calorie until i hit normal. Then i think i will try the 5:2 diet and see where my poor old body settles!
    Right day off work today and Monday, so off to hit the survey sites hard and load yet more things onto ebay (at least we will see a chair that has been buried for months if i can do it!).

  • Weight has been 13-0 for the last couple of days, hoping to break through to the 12s tomorrow or Monday:D

    Flipping freezing here, tried to put the heating on tonight as the DS's rooms are like ice houses, but the ruddy thing wasn't working, so either something is broken or the oil has finally run out.
    Will order some next week after Dh has been paid and pray it comes before Spring!

    My pay day next Friday:beer:, although it just disappears into a big black hole, still it'll be another month closer to being free of the trustee.
    Oh and Dh's car broke down, just two weeks after the service & mot?? Another £103 gone:(.

    Onwards and upwards!

  • Hi PWD, it is unusually cold for this time of year, hope your oil arrives soon, we need to order some as well, always something isn't there.

    Sorry to hear that the car has had to have some work on it, fingers crossed its ok now for you.
  • Finally broke through another big weight barrier this morning 12-13 :j:j:j
    And given it's yet another free listing weekend on ebay i've listed 13 items of clothing that are too big. Of course i'm fully aware that i'll be buying them back in a few weeks but i need the money and hopefully if i don't have those clothes to 'drift' back into i may take notice and act when the waistbands get tight:D

    Oil looks like it'll be £650 for 1000ltrs but that should get us through Christmas and well into the NY, will just depend on the weather! Have to hang fire until Friday though.

    Right that's all for today xx

    Freezing cold and very wet and windy tonight, batton down the hatches time, just wish i had something more than a mug of slim fast to snuggle up with!

  • Ohh i like the 1st of the month, the payment to the Trustee goes, only (ha ha) 19 more months & payments to go:D.
    Also the youngest's nursery direct debit goes, only 10 to go now till he starts school:eek:.

    Made a profit on the fat clothes of £58.95, so added to the challange total. Need to work out what's still to be made to get to the £2,012 - too much i fear.

    Finally won a cooker on ebay, just need to work out how to get it now, your neck of the woods Penny, so a 3hr 20 min drive each way! Still cheaper than new by miles, just hope it doesn't conk out on me.

  • £863.53 to go to make £2,012, will depend how much we get paid for doing the electoral roll canvassing, Dh and i both signed up, but we are pretty rural, so not many punters.

  • Weight at 12-9 nearly at the end of the 8 weeks on Newcastle Diet, so just praying i can keep it off. This has been my problem in the past, i can lose it but boy can i load it all back on again:eek:.

    Massive £1.05 from Quidco, will update sig in a minute. Other than that, got the cooker and paid £50 to have it installed. Fuel was £43 for the drive, so all in more than £150 less than i'd have paid for the most awful basic new one:money:.
    Couple of items haven't been paid for on ebay, how long do i wait? I've emailed them both to say let me know if you still want them but no replies...

    More stuff to load this weekend, if i can get peace:rotfl: and must look for shoes for smallest child as his are worn on the heels, bad Mummy...

  • Well Friday was the last day of my 8 weeks on Newcastle and yesterday morning was the final weigh-in 12-8:j and even more importantly the blood sugar reading was 3.8, so totally 'normal'.
    Yesterday then was a feeding day:rotfl: and now today i'm on a 500cal day. Had porrage yesterday with raspberries and today had 170 cals worth of crunchy nut cornflakes and skimmed milk. Since then it's been one digestive with a cup of tea, a ryvita and cottage cheese for lunch. I've got 'free' soup on the stove, leek, carrot and thyme and that leaves me 100 cals for something later ( a Kitkat is calling).
    Then tomorrow is feed again, hopefully i can stick with this till the end of the year or 11st, whichever comes first!

    Money wise, uploaded a few things to ebay, still more to go and at some point i need to get the two eldest bigger clothes! Won a pair of shoes yesterday for the smallest, talk about second hand Rose, poor boy:eek:.
