  • Thanks guys. Not too bad a start I reckon

    Today I have meal planned for February and very little to buy except fridge stuff. Cupboards and freezer are full to tipping point. Been making pizza from pinch of nom site using weight watcher wraps and they are phenomenal. All within plan as well so even better.

    Scales still not moving so I am going to try and do the treadmill again :( I actually hate exercising and I will stay off scales now until weigh in day.

    Today is a housework/laundry/cooking kind of day and all will be done whilst wearing my pj's :o. Then a shower and wash my hair with nice fresh pj's and fresh sheets. Oh the joy I get in these little things

    So have a nice Sunday folks. I have two slow cookers bubbling away with soup and stew respectively so we will eat well tonight xx

  • I use the WW wraps to make calzone pizzas. Did you do it that way or open like a ‘normal’ pizza? Xx

    I made an open pizza but then folded it once cooked. So good. Going to use the wraps one night to make sausage rolls and see how they go. Tonight however is soup then stewed steak, mash, roasties and broccoli. Smells amazing and I can't wait to dive in to it.

    Well it's been a kind of on hands and knees afternoon. Scrubbed bathroom from end to end. Cleaned all the tiles and did floor by hand as well. It'll be trashed by end of day but at least I know it's all bleached and clean. It's great to be getting some energy back as weight is going down. It has been getting pretty debilitating to be honest. Carrying so much extra really slows you down. I used to be able to fly round my whole house in a couple of hours and now it takes me forever and I just can't manage to do it all in one day. Age or weight? Who knows but it's annoying.

    Anyway I'm off to make the dinner xx

  • £183.83 minimum payment made today. No wonder I'm skint :o

    Doing my sums again tonight and things are not so good. What's new you may ask? :rotfl: So bloody depressing though.

    Meeting my bessie mate tomorrow for coffee but will be a cheap date as just have soup or something as it will be lunchtime. Meeting in local garden centre and I'm looking forward to a wee catch up with just the two of us.

    I'm meant to be going out on Friday night to a leaving night in work. If I do then I'll definitely drive as I'm hopefully working all weekend. I also have a night out next weekend but will see what happens. I will definitely go but again I might drive. I'll see. I'm away at end of month but that's paid for and I can take food from the cupboards. I'll just make the excuse I'm dieting. I have gallons of booze so no cost for that. I'm just going to try and keep a quiet life the rest of the month. It is however my brothers birthday tomorrow so I will pick up a bottle of gin for him from Aldi. I've already got a card. Ach I'll muddle through somehow :wall:

  • Happy Sunday folks. Sorry not been on in a few days but been incredibly busy and incredibly tired.

    My debt seems to be going up instead of down just now. I had to buy myself a new mattress as a spring was coming through mine and cutting my leg. I tried a mattress protector and some padding but it just came through. So mattress going on bed today and I have a nice new protector for it as well so bedtime tonight is looking very appealing.

    Also had to pay my car tax. Paid the year as I am trying to reduce my monthly outgoings so that if my overtime stops then I can at least cover them if nothing else. I have put it on my card but it will get paid off end of month. I'll also do the same with my house insurance when it comes in.

    Struggling with the diet as weight just not shifting despite being on track 100% which has really !!!!ed me off. So I've had a weekend off of diet and maybe that'll kick start the weight loss again. Who knows.

    So I hope you are all well and doing better than I am :rotfl:
