It's freezing here.... about to turn the heating on in facr. I've only had heating on for 2 hours in total in the last 3 weeks.

It's been lovely here today, till quite late afternoon.

I was actually warm today.


In other news....I am taking a gamble and chucking away my favorite jeans. They are too big. I am wondering if I should put them in a box for next time I bloat / gain weight as its bound to happen ( mt weight fluctuates hugely over a month anyway) but its meant to be a bad idea.

I'm torn between keeping and binning.....mse keep or aspirational throw. It's the opposite of aspirational clothes size shopping!

So, are we going to convene tonight to decide the votes of the NPT jury? Every NP allowed to score a tune out of 10, from which the mean is taken and at the end we decide the winner, or is that too silly? Or am I the only one watching with my TV dinner and many apps raring to go?

Can I just say if the clothes are pretty or not? Scoring is always going to be difficult!

I'm more than up for it I'll got get a pen and paper (I'll never remember otherwise).
I'll not bother with the apps, but my massive pizza (flatmate and boyfriend are sharing one the same size - I'll start with half but I'm sure I'll manage the whole thing) is almost ready. You're definitely not alone!

I'll probably have to make some decisions like that - I'm wearing what used to be my best fitting jeans to go to the swimming pool etc in as they are too loose now, and some that were a bit too tight now fit well. I should be able to 'go shopping' from some of the clothes I already have at my parents' next weekend

Too hard and smacks of commitment to something that I am not prepared to commit to. I might, say, change channels half way through and be thrust into a dilemma over the time I've spent so far voting .... and mucking up your score sheet.... -v- watching something enjoyable

Well, for the weight watchers/slim people ... I'll share my haul with you. I bought household items, a couple of stock-up items .... and a raft of treats. Listing only the treats: Bag of battered chicken, 750g oven chips - so that's my "meal tonight" coming in at £2.16 and using only £1 of that lot. Then: a pack of 1" square lemon mini cheesecakes (biscuit things); 3 individual black cherry cheesecakes; 12 packs of Walkers C/O crisps; chocolate covered raisins and a bag of "treat sized" fake Marathon bars

So, £1 on food tonight, £7 of treats for the week = what I'd have spent on a cheap indian takeaway

Sadly our supper cost more. . Steak is a big treat though. Two between three of us because I had three but parent had one last night but dh and I were too tired to eat then.

Thank you
I'm sure I could have lost more, more quickly if e.g. I didn't eat rather large pizzas and quite a lot of crisps at the weekend, but I'm pleased.

Moving day today. Unpacking sucks.

One of my colleagues is in the crowd somewhere at Eurovision. I think he said he was dressing up as a pirate, and his friend was dressing as a shark. I don't think I can watch this...
