My boiler has just turned 19 SSue so I think I need to plan before it dies 🫣
Still a snow free SE but blooming cold today I'm currently glad of my furry heat pad sleeping on my lap as I'm too lazy to go fetch the heated throw which he loves.
1.5lb lost for me this week I just need to hide in the freezer or give away the lemon drizzle cake I made today!Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin5 -

I am feeling rather pleased with myself. I have been doing the monthly grocery budget challenge, being more attentive to what DH wants to add to the trolley.
He can be very crafty, “It’s yellow-stickered and it’s your favourite.”
I don’t argue, just remove the item when he isn’t looking and he has forgotten all about it. I send him to fetch specific items, and leave out the aisles we don’t need. (It works with some children too.)
The most frugal grocery shop is done on your own.
As a result my weight is back in the normal BMI range again.
Now I will find it easier not to guzzle Christmas snacks. I take a small pot of almonds when we go to meetings where there might be biscuits or shop-bought mince pies.
