    Hello Sam,
    Don't worry about the wobble.  I did the same on my first test and I feel it made me a better driver as I realised it wasn't all a breeze and makes me think more when I face challenges while driving.
    Congratulations on the weight loss, if that's what you wanted.  It's definitely good to treat yourself to new outfits.  Maybe the things you put aside can fund it, if you choose to sell online rather than charity.  The charity shops here have asked us to call ahead as they've been inundated with stuff people have cleared out over lockdown.
    Loving the Netflix duty.  I think I've watched everything that's my taste! 😔

    Hello @charlies_tribe and @MuffinTops <3<3
    I'm doing OK I think. Work is OK but with new people started and more starting it's not so bad anymore. Need to sort the driving test but can't get anything until October.  :open_mouth:
    Money front is OK so at least I didn't pass and have to fork out more for insurance, every cloud 😂

    Sorting the clothing wardrobe situation tomorrow. Don't know about selling on 3bay at the moment I'm just having a bit of a break I hope I get a £1 max selling fee soon and that might incentivise me.
    Need to take advantage of the work pension and benefits (if I am going to stay 😂)
    Been on a tidy and declutter mission and now off work until Tuesday evening next week which is lovely. I've pretty much worked non stop doing different shifts since the 19th of April 🤔
    Going to start eating porridge as can't seem to keep any weight on feel like I look like a coat hanger 🤣🤣
    Happy weekend all sending positive vibes to you xx

    Glad work is going okay.
    Enjoy your few days off, put your feet up and Enjoy some cake (it'll help with slowing down the weight loss if nothing else 😁).

    Are you at your ideal weight now? If not maybe charity shop or other preloved might work for a bit then you can splash out a bit when your weight has settled. 
    Well done on being ahead on your bills.
    Sending positive vibes for settling into the new job :)

    @doingitanyway, No I'm a bit thin I think, don't really mind but prefer a little bit more meat on bones just for health really. I might have to go to the doctors because it's going and I'm not trying so it's all a bit of a strange one. 

    I feel OK and tired but am often on the go. Going to give carrot cake and other fattening things a go see if that helps a bit. Nice problem to have I suppose lol 
    I'm sure when I'm not looking it will all pile back on and hit me like a bus 😂🚌

    Just have to clear/exchange on my mums then plus ones is to go on the market but given that I've moved 3 times already in 18 months!! I'm not in any hurry to move again.

    I may need a few months of new job payslips for a small mortgage so that's my excuse for not rushing at the moment.

    Work is good at the moment as the new people really help each day go quickly and helps to feel less mundane/alone at work.

    Do have a check up as weight loss without trying needs examining.

    While I definitely support the cake option, also second DIA's suggestion for a check up.  (There are minor things that can influence metabolism, so not meaning to panic you, just best to check.) 
    3 moves in 18 months - ulp - I am still recovering from 2!

    All is good on the decluttering and money shuffling front :-) I owe nothing to nobody atm  :)

    I've had some not good family news so been a bit weepy this evening. Seems to be one thing after another so two steps forward and constantly two steps back!

    I am pleased to be off work and have made about £20 on fleabay so not doing to badly. 
    Happy weekend all, nothing much to report this end x
