    Good morning and happy Tuesday ☕️☀️
    I received a reply about the dungarees, evr1 have told them they will be here in 48 hours…we shall see! 
    This morning I went up a massive half a pound again 😡 Maybe it’s because I couldn’t fit as many steps in around work? I’m not sure, but I’ll be extra strict now. I don’t want to be going in the wrong direction. I did go over calories yesterday by a measly 100. Sigh..
    So, work today and no doubt another fraught day while I’m catching up. I really need it to settle down as I don’t enjoy 9 hour days. It’s like punishment for enjoying leave 🙄
    I hope you all have a great day 🌟

    Good morning and happy Wednesday ☕️
    I am still catching up on emails from last week and have a training day today which will take out most of the day. Deep joy! It’s always hard as they choose the short breaks and that doesn’t always work for dog’s schedule 😬
    I had a small win yesterday as a while ago I cancelled the call answering on the home phone (which we never use) and it’s reduced my dd by almost £10 a month. I really should cancel the home phone altogether, but it’s tied into the broadband and may be tricky.
    There is still no sign of the dungarees, if they don’t arrive today I will need to complain again. I’m hoping their sizing is average or I may not get into them until they are out of fashion again 😅 I’ve been struggling this week with a mystery weight increase, so am trying to battle it back down. That’s even harder as I’m struggling with finding time to get the steps in. 
    I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday filled with all the good things you deserve 🌟☕️☀️

    I have been fighting the same 1lb for the past month. I'd really like to lose another 7lb before our holiday but then my new clothes might not fit 🤔

    @Naomim I’ve been fighting a pound and a half for 2 weeks 😖 I still have over a stone to go, but it seems starvation may be the only option 🙄
    Good news today is that my dungarees have arrived! And also good news that the 12’s fit fine….slightly worse news is that the profile around the middle is rather lumpier that’s I’d like, but nothing that half a stone loss won’t fix 😁…if that ever happens!

    Evening @winterWarrior I hear you on silly spending and pots not being as healthy as they should. So easy to fall back into bad habits! I'm going to have to take a serious look at my spending, and pull everything right back again for next month 😒
