One each and a joint one - we're milking it too! Also check out their credit card... another £5 for spending £300 per month.

BF doesn't have one :money: he is still with HSBC

That might just have to be my next nag-a-thon mission

Expensive night/day today

Have booked very expensive tickets for a Disney show for when we are at Disney Paris, we are going with my two God-daughters who literally spent 3 days last weekend begging us to go with them, so as a treat we booked The Wild West Show. Getting a tiny bit excited as only 7 days at work to get through

Main bathroom designed and ordered, BF has picked the most expensive of everything so total so far £3.5K and we still need to pick tiles for the floor and walls and get it installed.

He has picked the most expensive bath with whirlpool, a tap that lights up etc but it will look gorgeous when it is done, so rush is on now to get it done before Christmas.

And I also decided to throw the iron on the floor and smash it to pieces so have been out and bought a new one. Just our luck as the one thing we did get rid of was BF's iron thinking we wouldn't need two.

Bonus BF thinks its a new toy and is upstairs ironing

Let's hope the iron novelty doesn't wear off

You can only try. It's also been one of my less convincing nags... getting MrMRN to switch - so far no luck! I think I've mentioned just how easy it was a million times!

:rotfl:
I'd never call you that... I might say "wee wee wee all the way home" whenever you enter the room though especially given the Snickers a day confession!

and the 9.30 packet of Snack-a-jacks
and the eating of coated peanuts throughout the day
and the Chunky Kit Kat when got home from work when living at parents
and parents feeding us huge amounts of food when living with them
and the meals out when living with parents as they wouldn't take any rent money from us
and the fact that they live near the best chippy in the world
and the large amount of beer/wine
and the trying new restaurants/pubs at new address as they had to be checked out


Off to get some food now I'm hungry

I don't really work in stones to confusing for blond me but a tip that's working for me is:
Don't go on a diet
Don't cut everything out you like

Instead
Eat dinner early and no carbs with dinner unless it's less than 30g.
Also exercise is good for weight loss even if it's a bit every day.

I'm finding it ok to stick too helps that I am totally of the booze at the moment.

I need to up the exercise and stick to my 3 meals a day, have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks

Cutting out the booze would also do wonders but I think realistically I will try to be good and start afresh in Jan. I find it easier to stick to no booze probably as I have drunk to much over Christmas
