    13 days completed.

    So not as many as I had hoped for however I have had one cold after another and have been feeling absolutely exhausted so I'm happy with just gettting 13.

    Hopefully next month will be better

    I am closing on 13\17 for February. I have been a bit naught this month. I took lunch everyday but succumbed to buying crisps and even skittles one day (had a big shock when I read how much sugar was in m on the EMPTY packet.

    Oh well... Toddling over to the March thread now.

    Sorry I'm late reporting in but major laptop issues. Managed a full 19/19 days for February :) So happy, losing a bit of weight but saving the other type of pounds in my purse (aka sealed tin).

    Away to look up the March thread.

    Happy munching all x
