  • Just caught up on your diary. I’ve been in Spain for the week which was lovely 😁😁. Your highland tart looked amazing hope you managed to finish it. I missed all the jubilee celebrations but did get to see the parade today. Really not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow 🥲🥲 xx
    slowly working towards being MF one small over payment at a time :T

    I've found if I am risking not filling up well before I need to, then the price goes up.

    Good afternoon and happy Monday 😢
    Work is ridiculous today, so busy 😖
    I hope you had a lovely time in Spain @southern_chick
    You make a good point @badmemory
    The big direct debits went out today, so I’m officially poor again. I need to be very good and send another £35 overpayment to the mortgage this month…if I do that then the balance will drop down into the next £10k bracket 😮 Only about fiftysquillion lifetimes of payments left to go…😅
    Other than that and a family birthday to pay for, I should be ok this month on the weekly pocket money.
    I hope you all survive Monday 📚☕️🧁

    It's always nice to get into a new number on the mortgages and debts :)

    Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️📚🌞
    I went for it and sent £35 to the mortgage. It’s a big chunk of my spending money, but I really want to see it balancing at the top of the 80’s after so long in the 90’s 😬 I don’t have anything I need to buy this week, so it will be worth it. I must do an add up and change my signature. 
    Work was manic yesterday and I expect more of the same. 
    Someone has just done an epic barf out in the hall, so I’ll have to watch where I stand while I find it…luckily it’s not MrWW as he’s gone to work, so it must be one of the four legged ones 😬 
    My new jeans arrived yesterday. They are lovely and soft and stretchy, but don’t pull anything in 😢 I’ll need a big top on or I look suspiciously like Humpty Dumpty from the side view 😖 The 2lb’s I lost seems to have come back over the weekend, I shall battle it back down this week.
    I hope you all have a fabulous day filled with all the good things you deserve 📚☕️🍫🧁

    Morning 😎

    Well that would be very rude of Mr WW to barf in the hall, go to work and leave it for you to deal with 🤣

    I've started following Two Chubby Cubs on FB and they are big advocates of losing just 1lb a week and even have a chart with circles to colour in. I suppose it's like debt/savings, you have to chip away at it and every little bit adds up in the end.

    He tends to be really loud, if it was MrWW there would have been more moaning and sobbing 😬
    I like the idea of a chubby colouring chart 😁
