Weight loss is going well. Been to the gym.

All is good!

Lost a 1lb for my first week at Weight Watchers. Pleased with that as I've only got a stone to lose. Ate really well, food bill is a bit higher as I've bought slightly different food but not by much.

Not been as active as I'd like this weekend but planning a walk later and I've booked 2 classes in the gym next week.

Still no news about my operation. 3 weeks to half term :j and seeing the Harry Potter play!

Well done on the weight loss, great start!! It's a tricky one in trying to buy the healthier foods while keeping costs down. The good stuff tends to be much more expensive, which is why I think those less fortunate and living in poverty are more likely to be obese, as a burger and chips is cheap as.....well chips.

Busy week at work. Weight loss continues to go well, although we did go out for a quick bite to eat last night but all accounted for.

Will likely dip into my overdraft this month as my sons £23 mobile bill is £69 this month! Not happy about that. He started work this week and tells me he will pay me back, but I feel guilty taking £40 off him from his first months wages. Kids!!!

Oh dear. How did he manage that? Was it internet? Might be more cost effective to look into upping his limit if it was.

Speky he's with 3 on an 'all you can eat data plan' - so goodness knows what he's done. There is a cap on the data use and the fact that he's used it is a bit astonishing really.

I was on the same plan too until I changed my phone and the guy at 3 told me I was nowhere near the usage.

Knowing him he's probably watched a film or something- who knows?

Budget is ticking over. Got a fair amount saved up now for my kitchen refurb - not get a definite date yet but looking at late July early August.

Well done on saving up.

On the 'unlimited' data, I've heard of circumstances were it's not actually unlimited and it's maybe 15g or 20g of data which to most people isn't available. Might be something in the small print which is super annoying.

Hope all ok with you Louby, great news on the savings xx
