    Oooh ZTD, it's a good job christmas has been and gone - otherwise Santa wouldn't have brought you any pressies!

    Oh he's far too busy for that! One of the perks of the job: He knows where the bad girls live...

    Was Santa good to you this Christmas?

    Hey all :) Ithink we must be all spending too much time sitting at the computer cause we are all saying we would like to lose weight, including myself:)
    In 2008 I would lkie to;
    Lose weight
    Finally pay off credit card once and for all
    get overdraft to £200 (only £150 to go)
    start saving toward paying off barclays loan
    and finally just start saving a little nest egg

    I would say that losing weight is the most important to me, but I know that if I lose weight and get down to my desired size which is a size 6 I will prob end up spending loads on new clothes so whats a girl to do............:) :rotfl:

  • My NYRs are as follows:
    • Spend the first three weeks of January meal-planning according to The Food Doctor rules, so that on payday (21st), I can -
    • Limit my grocery shopping to a healthy diet that will enable me to lose weight;
    • Join the new gym that's within walking distance of my house - I know we can all exercise for free by walking etc, but I need the structure of the exercise programme offered by this particular gym, as I'm a complete slob and home bunny (once I get home from work, I don't like going out again!);
    • Go to the gym three times each week;
    • Pay off as much debt as I possibly can;
    • Save for some new glasses;
    • Save for a new bed;
    • Save for a pre-Christmas pamper day with a friend.
  • Right, it's in my sig.. it's official.. I WILL SHIFT THE BABY BELLY AND BUM IN 2008.
