Had half a pizza for tea & saved the rest for tomorrow. My weight has been up and down between 11st 5 and 11 st 3. I’m back down to 11st 3 at the moment & would like to get below 11st. Must stop buying Icecream ☺️0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Yum, don't worry. I am refusing to weigh myself. I don't even know where I put the scale. I haven't seen it for 4 months.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

Mine are in the bathroom, I've not got the confidence to get on them, I'm eating properly at home compared to when I'm at work.
The changing weather doesn't help with tiredness levels.
Have a lovely day.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.3 -

We had torrential rain morning and afternoon. It has saved me from the watering hurrah for time saved.

Went to post on the Arms & MSE have in their wisdom closed it down ! I will miss the lighthearted threads like “I see faces”, “funny things you see on Facebook etc” & “lolcats / loldogs” 😔 At least we are all still here 🤗Had a text from british gas today to provide my meter readings. Took photos of the meters & posted online. Hopefully gas & electric switch will go through soon & cashback will follow in a few months.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

The Arms was popular. I wonder why it was closed? Where will the posters go? I hope our area is ok. We are quiet but I think we follow the spirit of MSE. Well done on switching, the cashback will be useful. .Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

A few sections have been closed to free the team up due to assisting with Covid questions etc. The debate house one was closed and the content has just been posted on house buying instead 😬 feel for people trying to ask questions 😔
Arms have moved to old style, quite a chatty lot they are 😁 should all open back up when the new normal appears.
