    Ended up going out for dinner with some colleagues last night so another naughty food night -and no gym either! However, I had a good time catching up with people - and it's all about having a life! :D

    Quiet night planned tonight though - lots of sleep and not too much food!

    Ok, today's theme needs to be 'fake it until you make it'. I need to start being the person I think I am in my head! :p. There is a dynamic, organised, enthusiastic person lurking in there that I actually rather like - and this week I am going to pretend to be her!:D

    Hey lovely,

    sorry for not having been in for ages, just seem to be really busy. Am now mother of a teenager :eek: & hosted a full on dance party to celebrate. Overdid the fizzy drink supplies though, still have bottle in the back of the car :rotfl:

    I'm very pleased to see your handbag fund is growing nicely - very fabulous indeed :D I treated myself to a lovely purple patent one a few weeks back but have been very restrained & only just started to put it to use. I was terrified of something happening to it at first, & carried it like a baby :o but now just sling it over my shoulder & love that it fits everything in there :T

    Well done on the weight loss ... I'm not succeeding there at all :o so have resorted to just getting fit & have renewed my friendship with Davina (ow, ow & ow)

    Keep going with all your plans fabby lady, & I'll pop in again soon
    :kisses3:

    I wrote a long list yesterday and then lost it so a quick summary! :p

    I've put 3lbs back on through just not being sensible so I am on a mission to shift that again ASAP! Ate well yesterday, am on a 'no snacking' kick and planning on going to the gym tonight

    Had a headlight out yesterday so had to go and get that replaced, £17 but I had it in my car account. Such a new thing for me to have 'pots' for things like this but soooo nice not to to be under pressure every time MOT, tax and repairs are needed

    Unfortunately the sound has stopped working on my TV :mad: Looks like I will need to buy a new one so the handbag fund will have to be redirected! I have changed it to a 'treats' fudn and start to build my Nectar points up again and then decide what I want

    Went shopping on Saturday and bought a lovely jacket from Mango with my birthday money :) And have ordered a ring from Amazon

    Am wearing the shoes I am trying to stretch again today. I tried freezing them (a tip from YouTube) and they seem a bit better - I will not be beaten! However, I do have my eye on a Ted Baker pair I saw at the weekend! ;)

    Am trying to be more like the person I am in my head - fake it until you make it! That person is organised including with finances, slim, healthy with good skin! Still a way to go then!
    But she's also socialable and good fun so I rather like the sound of her :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I need to get into looking after my skin better, I can be very hit and miss! £78 in Boots on Saturday - now I just need to get into a proper routine! I am also trying to drink more water - i hardly drink any, especially in Winter so I am making a conscious effort

    Am in London for 2 days at the end of a the week at a conference for work so need to plan my outfits tonight and make sure everything is washed and organised - I will be that person!



    OK - list for today
    • book friends 40th birthday dinner
    • gym
    • organise clothes for conference
    • gym
    • birthday card for my BIL
    • order TV
    • nails
    Happy Tuesday everybody! :D

    Hi Shoegal,

    I'm so sorry if this sounds obvious but the sound on my TV goes at times too. Usually due to a loose lead though from the Virgin Box. Have you made sure all leads in the back of your TV are fixed in fully? Also where they're connected to as well? This may hopefully prevent a redirect of your handbag fund. It works for me often as I must be heavy handed when just turning the TV on or something!

    I really hope that helps you.

    Thanks but sadly everything has been unplugged, re-plugged, rebbooted and restarted - all to no avail! It's been dodgy for a while so no great surprise it has packed up all together! Have ordered one from Argos so the handbag fund is wiped out :(
