    I’d start by getting rid of anything too baggy now you’ve lost weight. If you get rid of them you won’t have any clothes so can’t put weight back on 👍 unless you want to wear your birthday suit 😂👍
    I wouldn’t wish that on anyone @milann 🤭🤭🤭

    I agree with not saving things for best. It's always nice to feel good.

    You've inspired me to do a clothes purge this weekend. I've kept so much stuff that doesn't fit me since I put weight on and I'm keeping them just for the sake of it.

    Well done on the weight loss WW :)
    Current debts - Lloyd's card £4130.00 (0% Oct 23) - Barclaycard £3400.00 (0% Oct 24) - Lloyd's loan £3640.00 - Curry's £441.00  Total owed - £11,611.00 Credit card total owed - £7,530.00

    Aiming to kick the debt and lose the weight by the time I'm 50.

    LTW: August 2/18 ~ EF: £450/£1000

    Good morning and happy Wednesday ☕️☕️☕️☕️
    You all have some excellent suggestions re my clothes mountain 🤭 I had a new build before this house with several massive built in wardrobes in various rooms and I have never got over it 😢 I miss that storage space so much! But as the Instagram clutterfree people I follow say….I do not have a storage problem, I have a too much stuff problem 😢 Dial it back WW! 
    I did get a bit carried away with prime day deals yesterday and bulk bought a lot of cat food. I did this last year and it lasted the cats wet food until Christmas, so I’m hoping for the same again. 
    I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday 🌟🌧️

    That made me laugh, I'm just trying to find places to store it all. The bits I bought are at least 18 months use by

    Good morning and happy Thursday 🌧️☔️
    I did another coat of paint on the bathroom door last night and think it may finally be done. I think I’ve done 6 coats now, but will need to check in all lights to see if it looks streaky anywhere. The old off white was really powerful 🙄. Evr1 finally delivered my purple bag at 8.30 last night. That feels much too late (and they’d had it at the local depot since last Thursday). I’m looking forward to swapping stuff over and playing with it.
    Today is the planned power outage day, so I’ll need to entertain myself the old fashioned way. It’s frustrating as there is a lot I should be doing at work. 
    I fell for more prime deal’s yesterday including some bulk sparkling wine 😬 I’m glad it’s over 🤭 Luckily everything was in budget and the bulk buys will last months and will reduce my pet and everyday spending for many months. I’ll put that money into pots ready for the next bargainous opportunities 😁
    I hope you all have a great day 🌟

    Hope you manage to survive the power outage day, at least you have your new bag to play with. One of my friends has a separate sales spending pot for such occasions.
