YAY for NSD 10!!!!

Sorry you feel down love but I am glad the change of scene at work helped. You've had a lot extra on your plate and DH is a little bit trying at the minute. Think work and the structure was just what you needed even with 2 less people than usual :eek:

Glad you ate some tea.. don't forget not eating can sabotage your weight loss.. xx

Cheers Buffy and Lilt. I promise I'm not avoiding eating to lose weight. I believe in the 'fill your plate to lose your weight' idea, I've seen that work much better over the years of weighing people in at chub club! It has been more about having no appetite and a mouth so dry I feel I can't physically put the food in it. I'm trying to get over it and having extra drinks etc while eating.

Happy February everyone!! Fresh month, new debt calculation and it stands at £2520. So tempted to pay a bit more off to get under £2.5k, but the direct debit goes out on Tuesday anyway so not long to wait for that.

I really didn't think I'd get 10 NSD's in January, but I did, so I'm aiming for that again in Feb despite there being less days in the month to achieve it! Any NSDs are good though!!

DS2's eye is even better again today . The boys have been begging to go swimming but I've said no because of the eye infection. Just got to think of something else to do today instead!

Morning Lucky

Sooo glad ds's eye is on the mend, sounded really nasty.

Dont suppose you have an Tesco vouchers you can convert into Cinema tickets? Mine are desperate to see that Big Hero 6 movie just out. As mine are on impromptu sleep overs this weekend i won't bother, but maybe next weekend.

So how many days will you be working now you are back? and when will you hear from that extra care application for hubbys you have applied for? Hope that's soon , I think that would be so much help for you.

Have a lovely Sunday, Sun is shining here in Dorset, gives me the hope for spring xxx

Morning Steph, thanks for the idea. We've actually seen Big Hero 6 a few times, as we were given an android box for Christmas by Mum and her partner, and that has been one of the films on there. I'm also still waiting for DH's new CEA card because I didn't apply quick enough and the other one has run out (should arrive this week), so no cinema for us until we have that!

I only work 3 hours per week, usually on a Saturday night. Weeks at work run Sat-Fri so I'm done for this week because I did last night. However, next week I'm working the Friday (13th) which effectively gives me this weekend coming off, and the following week I'm working the Sat (14th), so I'm in 2 nights running! It's all very confusing!

I'm not sure how long it will take to hear from social services etc about DH. Xx

Well done on the 10 NSDs Lucky. Inspired by you I'm going for 8 in February. Today is one of them so 7 more to go. Your debt total is looking good too - is this the year you'll be debt free? Glad you sound a bit better in your mood by the way. Have a good day today.

I have had a bit of catching up to do on your thread. Very sorry to hear about DS's eye problem but very pleased he is on the mend. I agree with you about keeping him away from Grandma just in case.

Well done on the 10NSds in January.

Yay to the debt total going below £2500! You must be delighted at that.


You do SW don't you so you already know to eat as much as you want of certain foods. It can get tricky to be able to afford all the free foods sometimes, I find.

Thanks SA, my DFD is set for this December, so I'm going for that or before. If I don't quite make it then it will be early next year and that is good enough.

Good luck with your 8 NSDs! We have unexpectedly managed one today so I'm off the mark. Can't remember the last time I had a full NSD weekend!

We didn't do anything exciting today due to several reasons, but at least we didn't spend anything either! Hope the eye is better and you managed toget a nap with Jelly Xx

Fruit and veg can be really expensive Pooh! Totally agree.

Grandma has bronchitis . That's one of the reasons we didn't go far today. I'm really pleased we didn't see her yesterday or I'd be wondering if it's our fault she is poorly today. Got everything crossed she picks up quickly and is ok for her birthday meal next weekend. Xx
