    My hair always looks like I’ve been on a very windy beach no matter how much time I spend trying to tame it.

  • I find having mine longer is best, it’s easier when it’s wild. If I had it short I bet it would stick up all over the place. Plus I don’t have the face for short hair, I think I’d look more Billy Bunter than elfin 😬
    I spent again today, I don’t know what’s got into me. Possibly it’s the calorie counting as I think I’ve said before if I’m being good with one thing I tend to explode in another area! I bought a sale skirt and a dress from Emily & Finn. I normally get cheap stuff these days (and not much of that), but really fancied something different and nicely designed. I just hope I don’t look enormous in them…and that they’ll look nice ‘when’ I’m the right size. I went for my size, not my wished for size…I don’t know if that was wise or not? 
    Someone (3 out of 4 cats could be the baddy) spewed up all over the bed, so I had to strip it all and remake it and then I rewarded myself with a cream egg. I’m ending the day on 1189 calories.

    Best to go for your size I think.

  • 🏅🏅🏅🏅 6lb, 6lb! With a massive 0.1 loss since yesterday I am now teetering at the top of the 6lb badge 😅 That’s a mahoosive half a pound since last Sunday 😖 If I average a pound a week I still have 6 months to go, if it drops to half a pound this will be my life’s work 🙄
    Anyhow enough about my lard, good morning and happy Sunday.
    The boy cat was lying in wait for dog this morning and ferociously head bomped her until we came back inside. I tried to keep him out with my boot in his face, but he’s very thick skinned, did a feint and a dash, whizzed between dogs legs, up on the freezer and winding around the middle of the cat tree before we blinked. He was right underneath one of my big boys, who is so ‘house cat’ that he didn’t realise until after I’d scooped up the intruder and put it on the step (with breakfast). Disaster averted!
    Today I will pop into town for various vegetables as MrWW is fancying a vegetarian type roast dinner. It won’t be very healthy with masses of Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes done in butter (the best crispy way), but I will try and weigh mine out for an idea of the calories.
    What are you all up to today? 🌟

    Woo hoo 👏🏅

    I have a very long to do list today. Sadly there’s nothing remotely exciting on it.

    Well done on hitting the big 6!  If it comes off slowly it's more likely to stay off :)

  • Good morning and happy day off Monday 😁☕️
    Another whopping 0.1 down, but that was with a later weigh in, so goodness knows what tomorrow will bring.
    Today is a trip to the big town for bulk litter and freezer food. I know how to live!
    I hope you all have a good day full of nice things 🌟

    Well done with the 6 pounder……👏👏👏
    You’re doing better than me. I’m hoping for at least 1 lb this week. Although I had sticky toffee pudding and custard yesterday so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s something I don’t usually like as it’s way too sweet for me but I bought an @ldi one £2.79 thinking I’d have a teaspoonful I purposely bought it for Dh and ds  so I wouldn’t have much…..It was the best I’ve ever tasted so had my fair share 😂😂😂 
    January spends - £587.58
  • Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️☕️
    another day off today, but up bright and early to fetch MrWW from dropping his car at the garage. Dog managed the jump into the car for a ride in with me 😁🥳
    We’ll go out for lunch later. The scales went up 0.2 this morning, I guess the early weigh in didn’t help 😖
    I hope you all have a tremendous Tuesday filled with good luck and happiness 🌟☕️
