    Did the gym last night and eating was Ok so fingers crossed for weigh in! Going out to a champagne recerption straight from work - at least champagne is a low calorie drink! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Pay day today so need to look at finances as October is a busy month and need to start planning for Christmas finances! My car insurance is due this month and my renewal hasn't increased so I'm pleased with that. I've been on the comparison sites and there's no real saving to be made so I am just sticking with what I've got. I've also been online to sell my phone and it's worth £42 so I can send that off over the weekend then a little more to pay to debt. I keep meaning to work out my current total, I haven't updated my signature for months!

    Not much planned over the weekend - hitting the gym and healthy eating seem to be order of the day! :D

    Good time last night and a quick shopping trip too! Skinny jeans, animal print cardi and a plain black top! £65! Not tried anything on though so will do that today, my new mantra is to only buy things I love!

    One pound weight loss this week so I've lost half a stone - first milestone reached! :j Off to the gym this morning!

    Monday again - this weekend has gone so fast! Did Body Pump yesterday morning then got caught up in watching the Ryder Cup! :j

    Have been a bit spendy so I think I need to reign that in! Bought some shoes and a gym top in H&M but the shoes are going back - sticking to my plan of only wearing things I love. Ordered some patterned jeans from Oasis on line - £20 in the sale so a bargain if I love them! Then bought a trench coat in Asda! However, they are all things I need and nothing over the top expensive so not too bad. Have just been looking at finances for the month and it looks OK! have a few social things on this month which I intend to enjoy but will be spendy! Plan is to spend and enjoy but keep a closer eye on day to day stuff - food shopping, too many magazines that sort of stuff!

    I have some vouchers saved from a work promotion so I am going to cash some of them in for some shopping in a couple of weeks! :j

    Gym tonight, need to keep the momentum going! Feel free to nag away anybody reading this! :o

    Went to the gym last night but struggled a bit - but at least I went!

    Had a very positive meeting at work yesterday and the project I am working on is going well so I'm really pleased with that. Although I've also been asked to do a telephone interview with a big company on Friday, out of the blue!

    Have booked afternoon tea for my birthday and spotted a pair of shoes! I have vouchers to cover the shoes though so I feel a treat coming on!

    Out for dinner with a friend this evening - my turn to pay so I'm glad we're both dieting :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
