  • Long day today and I've been working hard for most of it too...:eek: - that's a habit I don't want to fall into...:D

    Spent £10 on petrol for the car and 49p on a chicken / bacon pasta meal, reduced from £2 in Tesco's.

    That's about it really. My diary's beginning to sound boring now, might have to spend some money to jazz it up. Managed to deliver 143 catalogues before dinnertime but still soaked by a shower. However, I got off lightly compared with what I'm going to suffer tomorrow...:eek: :eek:

    Just think of how all that lugging around big heavy books will be helping the waistline!

    You'd think so but it gives me an appetite to be honest...:rotfl:

    Lost another kg since I last weighed so almost a stone gone now which is encouraging.:o Plenty more to go where that came from but a good start all the same.

    Don't make me jealous! I think that for every pound you lose I must be putting on two. Midwife told me the other day that the baby is draining the calcium from me which is why my bones are so sore (or at least that's what I think she was trying to say!). Which has given me the perfect excuse to pile in cheese by the block, yoghurts galore (none of your fat-free crap either - developed a bit of a penchant for those Muller Alabama fudge cake ones!), and of course, loads of milk chocolate! Only in the interests of my health, you understand...

    no, no, just continue to bore us! you aren't boring honest and well done on the weight loss. why not challenge yourself to have x no spend days per week where you have to take lunch and thermos/water with you? Buying fuel won't count as it's budgeted for....

    you are growing a person in there - you have a fantastic excuse! my excuse for chocolate is that it's all for bone density and it's almost a vegetable....

    I know that's rubbish but makes me feel better.

    But to look at me, you'd think I was growing the population of Belgium in there!

    It's not boring mate, it's called a quiet life!!!

    Don't see you around any of the other boards much.... you should circulate more!

    How are things with the ex and kids at home anyway? I know you love having your kids around, so i guess you are enjoying it? How's things with the ex? going well?.... (and yes, that was a loaded question!!! lol)
