Hmm wonder if something like that along with my hypothyroid is why I can't lose weight (even though I do everything by the book!)

It could be, my SIL's weight has crept up over the years. As the nerve pain increased so has her weight. She finds it difficult to get about as well. She has tried every crazt diet there is (including one where she ate nothing but baby food for 2 weeks) and yet she'll maybe drop a couple of pounds but nothing more. Since cutting out the sulphates/sulphites she's lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks without trying and is actually eating more.

Problem is there are sulphites in red wine and I like my red wine!

I got a start date for my new job, next wed. Just need to sort out umbrella company and payment.

Uniscots97

Ok setting up umbrella company isn't as straight forward as I hoped. The people I need to get to help me aren't back to work till tomorrow.

I finally reached £40 on Onepoll and requested a bacs payment. Anyone know how long it takes to come through?

Having a quiet day today. OH and I went for a wander round the garden centre. All OH did was moan the fact we're in debt. Politely said to him if he stopped buying takeaways at the drop of a hat even when we've eaten he might not have run up so much debt. He's slowly realising just how much 'nice stuff' he buys on his cc. That includes cigarettes, he's not spent as much on that since I stopped working before as he's been buying tobacco instead and only buying cigarettes if we're going out somewhere. But he's realised now that when we used to stop off for a burger before going to my Gran's every week, it was the equivalent of his mobile phone bill in a month! Hopefully he'll realise he can't go back the way with it. I know he's night shift during the week but we were up at 8:30 and he's now asleep on the sofa. Yesterday, he finished work at 8am, went to bed at 11am, up at 6pm and asleep on sofa by 8:30pm. We went to bed at 11:30pm once he woke up. Just fed up he's always sleeping.

Another NSD (yesterday). Today would have been one too except I only wanted a box of donuts (compromise to show OH that although its nice to eat out its nicer to save money! so it was garden centre cafe donut at £2.25 each or 4 for £2 in Mr T's), bag of 50 gift bows 14p and 10 scones (for my packed lunch) for 25p. So I had £2.50 in Mr T's vouchers with me (in £2 and 50p) but as I hadn't spent enough I couldn't pay for the whole thing in vouchers. Also managed to get rid of another bag of junk.

Good for you for setting OH straight in the MSE world :) Hope the effect lasts!

Hya Unix, wow wonderful news about the job, well done, you really deserve it!!! :j:T:j

DH started a new job at the beginning of Feb, just as I started working full time while the boss is away....I've done 4 weeks and have one more to do. I have really enjoyed it, but looking forward to having more days off to get some crafting done...not to mention sleeping!!

Speaking of which, I need to head to bed now.

So excited about your job, congratulations again xx :beer:
