    Well done with not spending…..I cannot say the same 😳 I have been keeping up with the porridge for breakfast most days but having bacon for Sunday brunch.

    I weighed this morning and was so annoyed that nothing had changed even though I’m definitely eating less, that I had biscuits instead of porridge in protest 😖 I will climb back on the porridge wagon tomorrow. I think I will have to reduce the size of my tea a bit more. I’m not putting weight on, but must still be eating enough to stay the same 😖 why is it so hard 🙄

  • Good morning and happy Friday at last! ☕️⭐️📚
    Back to the porridge today I think. I am still waiting for my coats to be delivered. Ev** tracking is abysmal. They have had the parcel since Tuesday. What are they doing with it? 
    I’m hoping for a very low spend weekend when it starts. I may tackle the Santa sacks 🎅🏻 
    Im quite worried about work at the moment, they have been having some location changes and a few of my friends and acquaintances are being actively shuffled out of the company. It’s all so terrible, but we are definitely just numbers 😢

    Morning WW!
    We have a birthday this weekend and we're planning a bbq. The gift is already bought so we shouldn;t need to spend too much.

    Sorry to hear about work, is the company not doing well? We're definitely just numbers, that's so true. 😔

    A cold weather bbq sounds really good!
    Not at all, it’s very, very large. When a new leader comes in they like to make their mark with the city. All I can do is keep my head down and hope for the best.

    I hate it when a new leader comes in and starts making changes just for the sake of it. Hopefully their new broom approach won’t affect you 🤞

    Thanks SA, me too. It’s especially annoying when you’ve been there so long that the new thing they are trying has been tried before. We just endlessly circle these ‘new’ ideas 😖
