    Wow. How exciting having the deeds. Make sure they are kept safe now. Fire proof box and all that.

    You got a bargain on that corset. It looks fab on you. And will last forever. Just don't put it in the washing machine :rotfl:

    Nearly there with SW now. Come on you can do it

    yum indeed :D although I actually had rhubarb crumble from the freezer and custard, and the gooseberries are still sat glaring at me :rotfl:

    Just spent £1.95 on an ice cream today :o and if I'd remembered, I SO could have managed without for a NSD :o (although it was very nice :rotfl: )

    Epic fail on NSDs this month, after May's success! Completely taken my eye off the ball... Not sure about rescuing it this week....

    Monday - office, then slimming world £5 but damn it I WILL get my target this week! :mad:
    Tues - office, then meeting. NSD :j
    Wed - working at home - NSD
    Thurs - work event in York - NSD
    Fri - dentist (but won't need to pay til next time) - NSD??
    Sat - parkrun (free), open gardens event (£4?)
    Sun - community allotment, then possibly farm - NSD?

    So a small possibility of redeeming myself and getting up to - actually I don't know how many I'm up to cos it's been ages since I updated my blithering signature! Gah! :eek:

    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Blithering bank account overdrawn by £12!! :eek:

    Bloody thing misbehaving when I wasn't looking...

    (my own fault, of course, for transferring things out and not keeping a sufficient eye on things!)

    MUST get back to checking app thing every day!

    Bleurgh, poorly sick today! :(

    Woke at 4.30 feeling queasy, and when alarm went off at 6 I didn't feel any better... Lay on sofa ever since, occasionally dashing to throw up. Nice.

    Starting to feel vaguely human again now after Mr cheery brought me cornflakes and tea - sick person food of choice round here :D Would quite a like a shower - a sure sign of impending recovery - but feel too feeble to stand up for long enough :o

    Rather glad I didn't push myself off to the train station this morning!

    Ah well, bodes well for finally reaching Slimming World target tonight I suppose :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    well, i did it :D survived the day and (unsurprisingly) reached target weight :j :j

    feels like cheatimg :rotfl: but since i was at this weight several weeks ago without the aid of a stomach bug and only recently decided to set it as target, i don't care :D

    main thing is i now don't have to pay every week :D :j :j

    took it out of me walking round the corner though :o doesn't bode well for getting all the way to york for a training course tomorrow!

    just £5 slimming world to declare - for the last time! :j
