    He does get paid but he does seem to love it, he no longer mends them but is the "client" and so arranges for them to be fixed. He has become worse as we live in his patch and so trips out he gets cranky about jobs outstanding (street lights, signage, etc).

    Aerobics and cx works tonight (whilst dd2 swims)

    All my size 14s now fit, I can even get into multiple 12s, including jeans and trousers, and I can also fit into some 10 top and my favourite of all time Summer dress. Can't believe that I bought size 20 trousers at Christmas. I am getting short of certain clothes though, I'm wearing size 18 tracker bottoms as have a good draw string, as my others which are smaller just don't have anything to keep up with, so I have a pair of size 14s that fit but that's it, I've found some goldigga size 12 but feel tighter that would truly like... sigh... buts it's a nice problem to have...

    Nsd, was going to take girls shopping, but feel shivery and achey so spent all afternoon asleep, hoping whatever wants to slow me down has been rested away. Went Spinning this morning but knew on waking I wasn't up to par.

    Done a few surveys but nothing worthy of being at home all day which makes me feel guilty, as I've wasted a day.

    Thanks Alchemilla, really appreciate your brilliant support, we will get there.....

    I know my weight loss is going to really slow down soon which worries me, just hope I can keep it going for a few weeks more. More surprising is the changes to my body tone, I now have teeny muscles growing ...

    Feel quite excited by the prospect of buying new clothes, the temptation to splurge is really strong. I should guesstimate how much sw classes would have cost for my new wardrobe money...

    Well done on your weight loss, you are doing so well.

    For about the last 30 years I was a size 12, but in the last 2 years or so I've crept up to a 14.

    I don't think I'm up for strenuous exercise anymore, but I do enjoy walking, and I'm trying to get back into the habit of a daily walk, weather permitting.

    Best wishes for continued weight loss, every pound helps (bit like MFW!)

    Thanks Mrs m, over £100 then....

    Then next big challenge will be keeping it off.

    Just been and done my gym with some strength as well. Our local gym is tiny, doesn't open till 9, with minimal equipment (is part of a bigger group) so on my own for first 30minutes then just 1 other person (whose son is same age as dd3 and were in same class last year). On return no one dressed yet.

    Now Sunday chores time...
