Had some time all by myself today :j. I've been in the house most of the day (so a NSD :T), but DH has been out with MiL and then round to see a friend
. The silence has been wonderful 
.
Feet are really getting me down and are constantly painful even when resting. Upside is I've been able to do plenty of surveys/competitions/paperwork as I haven't been going far.
First weigh in tomorrow since restarting at chub club, really hoping for a decent loss to start me off. Going out for lunch straight afterwards though for my Sister's birthday. I promise myself I will be good :A.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Sorry to hear DH has been grumpy
Good idea to steer clear and let him stew in his own juice.

DH has been much better today :T. Last night, the boys were fighting and DH stormed in shouting and screaming at them. He ranted and raved for ages, and the boys rolled their eyes which made DH worse. Thing is, I felt stuck between a rock and a hard place, because the original reason DH got annoyed was valid and they needed told off, but DH went OTT and repeated stuff so even I wanted to roll my eyes!! When I tried to calm the situation he shouted at me too. He went the same colour as this --->:mad:. Think he got a shock that we all chose to go to bed super early to get away from him, and he's been much calmer today.
I lost 7.5lbs at fat class :j:j. Thrilled! 99.5lbs to go in 50 weeks.
Went out for lunch for my Sister's birthday today, but had a rather boring jacket spud when really I wanted the battered halloumi and chips!' Still enjoyed the company though, and feel virtuous for sticking to my diet and avoiding pudding and other nice things people were having. Mum and MiL both put extra towards the bill, so DH and I only had to pay £15 overall :TDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
