Have got you. I have "cheated" last 2 days (which i never do normally) as christmas meal out with work last night and out to panto and friends for tea tonight. I wasn't a free for all food wise but just can't be bothered to try and work out all the little bits..
Suffered all day today, haven't had a hangover like that in years and years.., was 6-1 though, which is a longgggg time.

Nice easy day off with girls, did afternoon tea and cake - the four of us, courtesy of groupon. Then thrashed them all at monopoly.


Gym done before anyone else awake. Work tomorrow but then off for a few days (I hope).

Presents all stacked... feels like Christmas. Spent day skiing at local dry slope with bf and families, then big Christmas tea at ours. Now finally sat down with a glass of wine..

Merry Christmas to all my mfw buddies xxx

Thanks GreenT


Already after those sales, dd3 desperate for new look coat week before Christmas, told her she had to wait now, anyway reduced from £40 to £24.. result. Added to basket some half price bags to put away for next year. Then just been to design outlet, bought loads of half price gift sets.


Going with my dd's tomorrow... hoping to get lots of Christmas bits (gifts, wrapping paper, cards)... yes I know I'm sad.

Great sales shopping. We don't have much storage space so I don't do this and miss out on bargains I am sure!

HelenDaveKids

TBH CathT, I just shove in the loft, which is dead easily accessible. I keep a notebook which I write down each item for each person so I don't forget. Sales were ok, girls enjoyed, but didn't get my crackers, cards and wrapping paper until today (all from Wilkos 1/2 price, plus some more fairy lights).


Back to work tomorrow... boo.


Had some vouchers from my CC rewards in H Samuel stuff, so ive ordered some bits online to be delivered in store (so free p&p)was a bit fiddly as only 2 gift cards per order so had to do 3 orders, which meant trying to get amounts to match. Was painful but now done, cost me a couple of quid in going slightly over by pence on all the orders but all half price or less items.

2015 NY resolutions.

To be this weight.
To run a 10k and a HM.
To be on track to finish morgage by Sept 2016

All completed.


So next year...


Again think priority is this weight. I'd like to not feel the need to record each meal etc but if that's what I need to do, then that's ok. Do feel my body has changed a lot since last year (for the better) but still the same weight!!!


Booked a 10k for April but would like another HM, not quite ready for the full one..


To be MF September remains the goal but would like some savings as well. Not sure on how much as Dave keen to have a big holiday in August so savings may get blown.


Anyone else have any inspirational ideas?


I think my biggest learning curve for 2015 was that I'm not invincible. My health was a complete shock this year and without meaning to be dramatic, I'm glad to be here and well, wasn't so confident at one point. Changes the way I feel about things which I guess isn't a bad thing.

New look sale stuff arrived, well pleased.

Was on short day but ended up doing the full12.5 hours, oh joy. Back tomorrow, hoping for the q word...
