    Hello Bad Weather, :hello:

    Happy New Diary! :D

    Reading your last post, I can't help wondering if you're one of those people who need a large meal first thing, in order to keep going through the day. Have you got time for something like a bowl of porridge before leaving home in the mornings? Or make up your own mix with a bought muesli base or rolled oats, fruit, nuts, honey, yoghurt - whatever you fancy, if [like me] you're not keen on hot porridge.

    Just a thought. ;)

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Hope you don't mind me subscribing too! :D

    Yes I do think you're a psycho stalker but the girl does sound amazing! Can I stalk her too?! :rotfl: On a serious note though, it's all about perspective. I know it's easier said than done, but you gotta change your way of thinking. Become a glass half full sorta person. I'm working on myself at the minute! :o

    I'm a shocking eater sometimes! OH is always :eek: at the amount I eat!! lol. eg for breakfast he could have 1 bit of Weetabix and I'd have 2. He'd have a small bowl of muesli and mine would be large. And then I'd have a slice of toast before I get left the house too!!!

    I do try to eat little and often but tend to get carried away sometimes !! lol :) Def for me just toast would not get me to 9am. Porridge, muesli, branflakes or something is my best bet. And too sugary a cereal like crunchy nuts won't fill me for long either.

    Crossed posts - :T to your breakfast today. Not so much the lunch bit! :p

    I'm currently charging my phone at work too... :rotfl:;)

    Good luck on your debts and savings :D

  • :rotfl::rotfl: So true!!!!

    I did a 12 week weight management course a few years ago. Main rule was to never go more than 3 hours without eating something. Once I'd got into that habit, I found that after 2 hours and 59 mins my tummy would start gurgling!!! :o lol

    This is from my diary.... ;)
    I read the book The Art of Being Brilliant when I was away on holiday, and I would definitely recommend it. It's a 'glass half full' type of book! ;)

    Love this quote from it:
    10% of life is made up of what happens to you
    90% of life is decided by how you react to the 10%

    :D

    Wimp!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    I had my 2 weetabix this morning, mixed with a handful of muesli :) Yummy!!
    Art of being brilliant - well I am already totally awesome, but I suppose there is room for improvement ;)

    Always! ;)
    I REALLY LIKE THAT! And I think it is soooo so true. Look for the positive in everything, sometimes is hard or impossible but keep looking and we might just find it :)

    :D:D:D

    YUMMY! I'm going to be getting some weetabix for next week as all this talk of it is making me crave it!

    lol :) We actually got the Golden Syrup which I'd normally screw my nose up at that sorta thing, but its yuuuuummmmmmmmy :D
    LOVE LOVE this wee guy! Although he looks sad :(

    Set myself a £3 lunch budget and I spent....£3.30! Ohh dear...better luck next time! :p x

    Not quite the angel he thought he was ;)

    Sooooo close!!! :p Next time bring packed lunch!! I do that all the time. So then once in a while I don't mind 'splashing out' £5 (:eek:) on lunch when I'm meeting up with someone.
