Still really chuffed

I went to fat club this morning for the first time in 4 weeks - gained 0.5 lbs in October - happy with that
Need to knuckle down now though and lose 3.5 lbs to reach goal!
Roast squash, rosemary & butter bean soup for lunch, and roasted pork tenderloin with apples & onions, potato & celeriac mash and cabbage planned for dinner - I love autumn food :drool:
Flights to Spain in March confirmed :j

Just checked internet banking and FA balance is £0.00

(I wasn't expecting it to show until at least tomorrow)
Just for the record, we OP'd £69,777.43 :T
Mr MWC is at Wembley today for NFL. My plans:
- housework
- laundry
- potter in garden/pick last of the raspberries/pick some beetroot to make room for the swede seedlings/think about clearing some leaves but probably decide to leave it until all the leaves have dropped!
- clean chicken coop
ETA - go for a walk or 2... I could do with a day off walking but a colleague has fitbit-challenged me...Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Well done on the mortgage OP's MWC - that's awesome :T0

I've done everything on my list (apart from the leaves) :T
100,000+ steps in the last 7 days - no wonder I'm tired!
I need to refocus on my good habits (drinking water, body brushing, cleaning my face 2 x day, making a bit of an effort with my appearance, hand care) in November - it all went to pot in October...

I'm trying to do that - forgot about body brushing. And I've been gifted lots of Liz Earle stuff, as its my SIL's favourite, so I've just started to use that.I need to refocus on my good habits (drinking water, body brushing, cleaning my face 2 x day, making a bit of an effort with my appearance, hand care) in November - it all went to pot in October...

Nice gift KC

I like LE stuff although after a couple of years I decided that my skin needed a change of routine. I have an unopened 50 mL jar of skin repair moisturiser, dry/sensitive, and an unopened bottle of eyebright that they sent me as a loyalty gift - PM me if you want them

As part of my decluttering earlier in the year I started using up some of my many 'body polishes' - and actually noticed they made a difference, so have kept it up
I've also made a conscious effort to use up the many body butters/ lotions/ souffl!s/ creams etc - I usually only throw a bit on my legs now and then in the Summer months
- but I do find that a bit of conscious looking after myself in some areas kicks into others (eg: if I'm making an effort with things like body polishing and moisturising, I'm more likely to bother drying and straightening my hair/ not wear total scruffs/ think about healthier choices for food) x I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soulRepaid mtge early (orig 11/25) 01/09 £124616 01/11 £89873 01/13 £52546 01/15 £12133 07/15 £NILNet sales 2024: £200
