    Well done with the weight loss. Own efforts have resulted in a gain and am now heavier than I was before I started trying ......ooopps!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Yay, I'm back from my business trips :j
    I was so busy that I forgot it was pay day yesterday :eek::rotfl:

    Lazy-ish weekend planned:

    - Chub club weigh-in
    - Chicken coop cleaning
    - Gardening
    - Housework
    - Creative menu planning with the last few bits and pieces in the freezer
    -Shuffling money

    but mainly:

    - lounging around relaxing
    - early nights

    I also need to review the holiday clothing situation and (a) return at least 33% of what I've bought in the past week (I've lost count but it was a lot :o)), (b) add the purchase to CP and (c) make a (small) list of things I still need to buy to complete outfits... I'm in a difficult position because I need enough clothes for 15 nights away but I'm hoping that by the time it is warm enough to wear them in the UK they will be too large!

    That sounds very exciting, MWC! Hope you can catch up on your rest as well, though :)

  • Another successful weigh-in at chub club :T I've now lost 16.5 lbs in 7 weeks :j

    £400+ of clothes to be returned for a refund :o
    I've also been wardrobe shopping - several BNWT items from my pre-MSE days now fit :)

    2 lamb burgers defrosted and used to make kofta + 2 wholemeal pitta from the freezer for dinner this evening along with roast beetroot, grilled red peppers and HM tzatziki :drool:

    Well done MWC, superb :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
