Morning all,

A miracle has just happened! Last Saturday I decided to try lose 14lbs before New Year and this week I have barely stuck to my diet. I was fully expecting to be the same weight, if not a pound heavier, but I just got on the scales and have apparently lost 5lbs! I'm not sure how, I'm not sure if my scales are lying to me, my only explanation is that I've had a stressful week and gave barely sat down from 6am to 7pm most days!

What a wonderful surprise on a Satyrday morning

On MSE news, aiming for 1 SFD and 1 spend day this weekend. I need to visit ASD4 as Ald! don't sell everything we need but I'm not eating out anyway . Hoping this wet weather will keep me housebound

Also eB4y is apparently free insertion fees this weekend so I'm going to rummage through all the drawers

Hope you all have a great day

Eb4y free insertion - thats my plan for the afternoon!
Wondering whether to start getting rid of maternity clothes or keep just incase..... I know theyd sell well, but i may need them again one day and will end up spending.... Hmmmmm!!!

Taking dd to two birthday parties today so no nsd for me!! Going to pop to h0m3 b4rgains to see what bargains i can pick up and cards.
Actually ill pop to 4ldi and get what i need for packed lunches for the week so that i save tomorrow as a nsd

Well done fmess! Thats amazing. Ive got over a stone to lose after baby, and now that im feeling a bit better its time to start shifting it!

well done fmess! :T

re clothes LSD i would sell them unless you are planning another within a year or so. yes you will end up buying again but you will have the money now and next time you may be a different size/gone off the items etc... you can always buy second hand next time to keep costs down. do you have nct near you and you could sell at the nearly new sales (i have no experience of this but heard people suggesting on other threads). may get more as people can look, presumably try on and they wont have to pay postage.

have decided to not buy the cheap cat toy as it will probably break again (only had the last one for 4 weeks!). he can play with that until i get to pah and get him a £3 xmas one i have seen. will be more fun as it has an object on the end as well as fluff and he likes to pounce.

therefore will aim for sfd even though i am going into city to do 2 mystery shops- will walk so no costs there. :A:A need to pay the pub the deposit for work xmas party but not counting that as its money i collected at work (i put my £5 in weeks ago).

Morning all....... phew I made it in to work..... I love early starts at work cause I think better and can start the days scheming etc really early.. however I do not like getting up at 0400.. with monsoon rain outside and leaving my very warm bed...

So anyway - discussion on clothes... that free insertion today is like a big fat tease... I finish today at 1900.. get home by 2000 and have to get up again at stupid o'clock so I can't list anything... but I might atempt it tomorrow night or at least post everything and add pictures at a later date - I have done that before....:).. Sell them LSD..

I might set up a swishing party in my area.. anyone in North London wanna come play..? There doesn't seem to be anything of the sort in my area and I want to swap my clothes for new ones and I don't want to pay for it either... so time to start scheming.. I have many ideas.. just don't know how I am going to manage it.....yet...:T

Well done Fmess on your weight loss - to balance things in the Universe I have eaten all my junk food already and before 0900... Mother will not be please...

Right... more resesearch required - at least today will be another SFD...Whoop!!!

Onwards!!!

Hi all can't remember when I last checked in! Thursday was not SFD, Friday was SFD. Today I need to get groceries for the week so I hope I remember everything. Will catch up on all your posts later, and add the spends to signature. Have a great Saturday everyone. X

Hello, SFD for me so far. Went to town to get OH some walking boots and a birthday present for friends kidWent to tkmaxx so got them 70% reduced. Oh paid. He'll nip out again later and get some more fresh berries for DS as Lidl didnt have any yesterday. Food delivery will come tonight but will see when it comes off the card.

Well done on the weightloss Fmess.

Hopefully have time tonight to list a few things on ebay

Thanks, i think ill sell the 'fashionable' ones and keep the ones that'll never go out of date. I bought them all second hand anyway so its not as though ill be put of pocket selling them. Im still wearing some as i still have weight to lose (its only been 4 weeks in all fairness!) also have lots of little girl things to sell, that i kept just incase i had a girl!

Didn't get round to posting last night as I felt really ill so went to bed at 3 pm and just got up.
Not sure what it is but was expecting flu or something similar as I ached all over and I 've had headache since Weds.
Just had a shower so feel a bit better but still achey.

Yesterday was NSD but today I've got a hairdressers appointment for a dry cut. Wish I'd waited to find out how to cut your own hair now.
I might make a pledge to never go to hairdressers again.
We could start our own salon on here, I bet there's enough experience.
Keep up the good work.

Sorry, I forgot to check in yesterday.

Had another interesting day at work and once I made it home, later than planned, I kind of switched off.

SFD yesterday and today, as well as AFD, and lunch to work yesterday.

I have nothing planned for the weekend, which means fingers crossed another SFD tomorrow.

I've just made some bread dough for a pizza later, but instead of making far too much as I usually do and letting half go to waste, I just quartered the measurements and there is more than enough for a pizza for one.

It's a little mild in my flat today, may have to break out the socks this evening. Them, and the oven on for pizza will warm my little flat up just right.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend,
