    I said that SA.

    My original Hidden diary had ALOT of views and made the email etc. yet it took nearly 6 months to be gone. Yet my new one wasn't even a month old and deleted!

    I'm sure TOPM diary disappeared at one point and was reinstated. Wonder how that one could be brought back to life but ours can't?

    Unbelievable that you lost your diary.
    I don't post much, but I do read and cheer you on, and was shocked that I couldn't find you.
    Well done on WW loss however. Hard at this time of year, she says as she eats another piece of gingerbread!

    On the site feedback thread today Andrea said the problem yesterday was not the spam button but malicious users and they apparently are taking action. I have seen one of the deleted threads has been recovered using the google cache but I don't know how to search for others. When the forum guys get back to me I will see if that is a possibility with yours.

    That's good to know ES. Pity these malicious people haven't got anything better to do with their spare time :mad:

    As it's Sunday finances have been gone through with a fine toothcomb:

    Grocery spends £82.62/£90 meaning £7.38 underspend which has gone to VSP :j

    Weekly spends £50/£80 meaning £30 underspend (despite Mr SA and the coat saga) which has gone to the dining room fund

    Totals
    VSP £113.78
    MSP to add up in a bit when I empty my purse
    Emergency fund £1685.31 - will add to on Wednesday
    Dining room fund £110
    Holiday £0/£900
    Credit card £166.25 - will clear on Wednesday

    Today is NSD 7

    Meal plan:
    Breakfast: porridge
    Lunches: Butternut squash, chickpea and lime soup
    Dinners:
    Today: Fish pie and veg (making 2 portions)
    Monday: Quorn lasagne and salad
    Tuesday: Fish pie and veg (the other half of Sunday's meal)
    Wednesday: Ginger salmon with spicy dhal
    Thursday: Veg chilli and cauli rice (from freezer)
    Friday: Roast cod and tomatoes with parmesan herb crust, butternut squash chips
    Saturday: pizza, wedges and salad

    Lost half a pound last week; the aim is to stick to points religiously all week and see if I can get a better loss this week. Only 3lbs and I'm back at goal.

    Will finally be payday on Wednesday. It seems like forever since I last got paid.

    Have a good week folks :D

    OMG SA can't believe your whole diary has just been deleted like that. I can not believe there is nothing they can do, totally ridiculous! I love reading my own back so would be gutted if same happened to me :mad: x

    I'm glad you're on the case ES, it would be lovely if SA's diary and Wannabe's could be reinstated.

    But if they could at least stop this happening then that would be something.

    So has your new one gone to?
    I wondered why I had stopped getting the emails :(
