Well done on the offer being accepted. And an interesting article on textiles. Its suprising how much effect different things have on carbon emissions. A few weeks ago i would have thought transport and industry were the main culprits but its most other things that me as an average person isnt aware of.

Thank you I know what you mean, I always knew textiles were 'bad' in the bin, and that they were energy intensive, but I didn't realise quite how significant it was

I seem to be doing a lot of introspection at the moment, and looking at all the different ways I can improve my lifestyle etc. I'm sorry if all my posts are boring, but it's nice for me to jot them down where I can go back to them, and note what I've learned!

I've always been a bit of a 'grazer' with food, pretty much constantly picking at stuff. I was thinking at the weekend, and thought maybe I could improve my weightloss by stopping this and trying to go with 3 meals and 2 small snacks a day. I was a bit concerned that I was still eating too much, even though I'm mostly losing weight and it was mainly fruit and veg.

So yesterday and today, I've experimented with having bigger meals and making a concerted effort not to graze between them, just have a snack at an allocated time. So far it's working well. Who knows whether it will impact on my weightloss or not, but I think it will do me good, and hopefully mean I can gradually start to eat less overall as I start to look at portion size.

I hope the two snack meal works for you .

Thank you. So far so good! I didn't want to snack yesterday evening either which is unusual.

Happy Payday :T Everything has been paid

I have a small pay rise and expenses too so this months wages looked nice

Dilemma - I have enough to pay the F&F this month. It will be a tight month if I do, but I think I could manage, and then next month will be back to normal.

I really want to do it, but know it's probably not the sensible thing to do. What to do? :think:

Could you not pay half and squirrel half away to avoid pressures and increase earning time?

I would pay it and get back to normal asap. The buzz of paying it off would probably see me through the month, but that's just me and my approach to everything really. Whatever you do it will be fine

If you think that you will be able to manage the month then I would go for it, if you're unsure, then I'd do nothing.

Yay to the payrise too

Have a great day xx
