Happy Saturday!
Half a pound off today which I'm a bit annoyed about as it hasn't covered last week's gain, however in the week, it was looking like a big gain again, so I'll take it. Going in person is really helping me remain accountable and stick to it.
We've been doing a car boot this afternoon. Not a huge amount gone, but every little helps! I made a grand total of £2.40But got rid of an annoying bulky item so it was worth it just for that! DH sold a few things including a bulk load as well so that's good.
We're having takeaway tonight, the others are having chippy and I'm having chinese chicken and vegetables so hopefully will be reasonably on plan. I'm not sure I recognise myself, normally I'd say s*d it!

My halo slipped a little when they gave us some free prawn crackers, but I just had a few.

I padded my car boot riches this morning, so am in line with my highest month so far! I will definitely exceed it this month
I slept well last night, but feel tired today, so am just going to have a quiet day today. DH and I finished watching Ballard last night, and really enjoyed it, I hope they make more series."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney6 -
