    I weighed myself.

    what the actual !!!!?

    I am confessing all here. Cos I can.

    192 freaking pounds. Wowsers I am far far far from my ideal weight.

    I am guessing it is breaking my foot and not moving significantly since November........ next challenge, post half term, post house tidy/Km/declutter me thinks.

    Oh Buffy :( What on earth was the pizza delivery bloke doing to write off two cars? That's awful bad luck but at least you weren't in the car at the time.

    My road is dark, bendy and it would only take a split second loss of concentration to not see a parked car and bobs your uncle you have bounced off said parked car and are wrapped round a railing. Give the damage, he must have been going at some speed but I can't say I probably haven't done similar! There but for the grace of God.

    Going to have to make a plan for the weight loss.

    Having just used a calculator, I can report that you're lighter than I by about 5lbs and while I'm the tallest of 5 sisters, being 5 foot 6 doesn't make me tall. The rest are munchkins. I want to get below 13.5 stone by the end of June and into the 12s by end of December. Any chance we can work on this together? I do a nearly weekly weigh in on the wii.

    As well as discovering I am fat I am also carless.

    Insurance companies are UTTER SCUM.

    UTTER scum.

    so the choice is thus.

    Get into debt to buy a new car.

    Buy a crappy old banger.

    So fed up, so just going to clean the house and think on it for a bit.

    I have 3200 saved, 1000 in Peer to peer lending and no emergency fund as I spent that paying for the insurance and I think Christmas.

    so Obviously I spent 154 on George at Asda (did cashback!) and bought tights etc. I need to pay the vet bill.


    I may not have debt but am still !!!! with money.
