Evening all,

Good work day today apart from the busy bodies of the office returning after holidays and pestering me for some of the day. Wish they would just blooming leave or at least be productive...:mad:

Anyway... onto to sunnier things! I spent some £££ today. Well, £2.60 on food for lunch & £3.20 on a iced coffee. A wee bit naughty but I'll have a no spend day tomorrow & perhaps Friday too to counter balance it!

Are you a Starbucks addict? I am a Starbucks addict. I have only been able to admit this in the last 4 months. 1st step - acceptance.

Your coffee cost more than your food. STEP. AWAY. FROM. THE. COFFEE. BEANS.

I swear from my commuting to work and cutting down my Starbucks I am noticing a difference, just basically that I have not been "struggling" as much. But that's just me. I used to have a venti soy latte every day, sometimes 2 and even on occasion 3 times a day! 3 TIMES A DAY.

I am also 10st and want to be 8.5 stone for my wedding on 1st March. Not up for the 5:2 diet though. I get really REALLY grumpy. x

Sold a book on eBay today so I'm £17 up! . After filling up the car & fillin the fridge, I've got £200 in my account. I'll transfer this (providing it's all there still - can't think of anything else that's debiting) to the evil credit card on Friday.

Blooming heck it's hot. I'm more of a winter girl!

Oh in other news, I'm down to 9st 9! The 5:2 diet is really working. I want to lose another 9lbs before end of October as we're going to a wedding & I'd love to be smaller for that especially as my boyfriend has lost loads of weight & it's looking very trim. I don't want to look like the chubby girlfriend in photos!!!

Hi

what are the calorie intakes on the 5:2 please?

Anything you fancy on the 5 days and 500 calories on the 2 days. They expect you to go over by 25% the days after the fast days but I try and stick to 2000 calories max.

I get hideously grumpy when I'm hungry BUT strangely it doesn't happen on fast days. Maybe it's because I'm in control? If I'm hungry on a non-fast day, I'm a NIGHTMARE :mad:! My boyfriend carries around a cereal bar in case I go into melt down... I wish I was joking!

Yes, I'm still a 'bucks lover...sadly! Nothing bets a skinny vanilla latte or a mocha frapp or a caramel macciato (no idea how to spell that!!). I have cut down A LOT. Got to the stage where I was having 5 a week although maybe I shouldn't feel bad... 3 times a day! Naughty! I'm now sticking £15 on my card and sticking to it. No money on the card, no starbucks

My favourite day has been and gone....PAY DAY! :money:

It's come at the same time as a rejig to my finances... I have/had another credit card with a balance of £623.25 on it. I had planned to pay it off once the biggie, evil cc was paid off but I was sent a balance transfer offer so pulled my head out of the sand and transferred it last week.

However, good news...my boyfriend had a bonus this month so he's paid my back the £400 he owed me for our trip to New York so I've transferred (between direct debits & transfers) £1000 onto the CC this month and I've just broken into the 5000s (again - no tricks to NYC this time!)

Our little nephew stayed with us over the weekend, hence no MSEing. We took him to Legoland with our 50% off voucher. It was still £90 for 3 adults & 1 child! It was very cramped inside. Not like Alton Towers where there are places to go and sit on grass or even simply, wider walk ways. The design was very odd and it was looking rather tired. BUT the nephew had fun so what do I know?!

Off to update my sig :cool:
