I'm a terrible binger. Bread is my demon, I could eat an entire loaf to myself
in one sitting
My (now deceased) Labarador once did an entire loaf in 52 seconds. Bet you can't beat that! :rotfl:“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

That's the spirit! But don't you worry - a couple of months here and you will have!!“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

Good morning people,
Today and yesterday have been gym days, so doing alright on the exercise front - and I added up the groceries wrong yesterday so a few pence more than I thought! Yesterday was a spendy day though, but got three birthday presents and a present for my friend who had a little girl last week, so it's good to have that all sorted out. Just need to find a father's day gift now - my dad is a nightmare to buy for!
Signature updated - just over 900 paid off the debt last month, so not too bad.
Rokat and Messymare - sounds like you are doing really well with the exercise!
Moomin - it's so hard not to spend for things like that!
SiannieLaz - really glad there seems to be a way round with the maths, hope meeting with your tutor goes well.
Have a lovely day all.

Thank you everybody for my congrats!!! It is a great feeling to see that great big millstone i've carried around finally being chipped away to... well a much smaller millstone haha!
Claimed my first SFD yesterday - today won't be as I'm out with a friend for a planned day out...
I've totally lost my enthusiasm for the gym - and haven't renewed... I normally pay 3 months (£90) at a time and I'm dithering! If anyone wants to send a rocket this way - I think I may need one!!!
Have a great day everyone!!!

PS... Bulletproof Coffee?!?! Butter in coffee?!?! OMG! That sounds minging... I need full instructions please so I can try it (... on someone else first!).

Messymare - when I decided to get fit in January I started with dog walking and definitely count it as exercise. I used to walk the dog anyway so I just upped the distance and speed and then started adding other forms of exercise in as I got fitter.
Siannielaz - good luck with the tutor.
Today will be a SFD for me. I am working, dog walking and making a chilli for tea today, then working again this evening. I have an 8 mile bike ride under my belt already today and will do 45 minutes dog walking this morning too.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time0
