    Great going on the weight loss! Another two pounds, and you'll be 19-stone-odds, which starts with a 1- rather than a 2-, and therefore must mean you've lost 10 stone - brilliant!!! :D
  • I like the logic on that one pandapaws! ;)

    Really enjoying your diary, yeovilmac. You sound like a great dad, nice person and obviously clever too with your pub quiz win. If only I wasn't already married, erm...pregnant and about as far away from yeovil as I could be while still in England!

    Hey, don't give up hope just yet, I'm 45 miles north of Yeovil in Bristol. Yeovil was my birthplace but I moved up here in 1999. By the way, it's Martin.:D

    Married? Hmm. Pregnant? Hmm Hmm. Oh well, sounds like you're happy enough up there.

    October 11th - day eleven - spent £3.67

    Lunch - £2.47 from Greggs. Not telling you what it was that I bought but I won't be losing eleven pounds this week.:mad:

    Doughnuts - 55p for five. I proof-read Yeovil Town's programme two days before each home game and today was that day. Usually buy the doughnuts or a packet of biscuits.

    Coffee - 70p. Watched the players training and it was coldies so needed a coffee.:D

    Never mind as you cant have bought too much from Greggs for £2.47.
    I on the other hand have eaten a rather large bar of Galaxy cookie dough choccie and now feel rather unwell.Ahem.

    Hi Yeovilmac
    Just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying your diary. You sound very upbeat and positive, which is the kind of tone that Pete Cohen uses in his weightloss book - I think it's called Slimming with Pete, or Doing it with Pete or something.

    I know it's difficult to take lunch when you're out and about on the road, but if you could make sandwiches and a flask of coffee (or Bovril!) with you, would that help with both the finances and the weight loss?

    Hope it goes well - from a fellow former-Yeovilite.
    Overpay!

    Now why did I see that just before I take DD to gymnastics - which is right next to Asda. Now I will be wanting to call in and buy doughnuts...and I probably won't share!!!

    Hey Martin,
    Just managed to catch up on your thread and wanted to say well done on the weight loss etc. And well done on the daily confessions... not something I'd like to do:o.
