    Trying to concentrate on losing weight it is so expensive to eat healthy fruit etc is extortionate. On a positive note I have lost 5lb in a week so a good start hoping to get 2 off a week from now on. I can't possibly wear a bikini looking like I do !! 2 months hoping to get at least a stone off.

    Have been reading your diary but not posting but thought I would now that you have trying to eat more healthily. You don't necessarily have to eat fresh fruit, both frozen and tinned fruit is also OK. Veg is probably better than fruit anyway. Again, tinned or frozen is good.

    Good luck. You gave up the fags before, you can do it again. I tried loads of times to give up before finally giving up properly just over 2 years ago. I know how difficult it is but for the sake of your health and your wealth I really urge you to do it again. Have you spoken to your GP about giving up? You can get patches, sprays, tablets etc on prescription if you go to smoking cessation via your GP, which is of course much cheaper than buying them over the counter.

    I still have 1 1/2 months supply of zero nicotine patches just need to put them on as I am not drinking it should be ok. Just wish I had never had that one last time I had managed 3 months.

    Productive day bathroom cleaned, gutters cleaned, garden swept, all ironing completed, amazing tea and packed lunch for everybody all done. Salad for OH and myself and sandwiches and fruit for children. All children's bags packed so hoping morning runs smoothly.
    Also tea is prepared for tomorrow so I just have to put some pasta on when I walk through the door.
