  • A little update..........

    I've made an extra £50 so far this month, mainly ebay and selling other bits and bobs locally.

    I've lost 8lbs out of the original 14lbs target I set myself so just over halfway there.

    I'm remaining focused on trying to spend as little as possible.

  • Wooohooo well done TW!
  • 9lbs out of the 14lbs lost!

    Due a fund of £198 from the taxman - which is going towards DD new school uniform and bus pass for September.

    Not a bad result!
