Hmmm... Battenburg is my favourite!

Well done on the weight loss!

Mr Kipling does a mini battenburg which I can have as if I buy a full size one like in the picture I would eat the lot:o

We had our monthly take away tonight at a cost of £15 for 4 of us. We had chicken kebabs and boys had a pizza.

I have to say that we havent missed takeaways very much at all but enjoyed the one we had this evening. I am determined not to have another one this month though.

LJ - "all things in moderation" seems appropriate here as you note, rather than abstinence. Well done

Monday Mornings come around far too quickly. I have a mystery shop scheduled for tomorrow £10 and some extra training which will bring in a total of £40 so £50 this week in extra income.

Hoping to send a cheque off tomorrow for another £300 to add to my £222 already paid. Need to have a good look at the finances for the rest of the month but I think that I will be OK.

Its almost time for my first year round up and look back on the year to see how much progress I have made.

Feeling really sick and dizzy today for some reason guess I have picked up a bug from the great unwashed at work (I am talking teenagers here so quite an accurate description);)

Have been asked to do a urgent MS so that is another £10 for the pot.

Thats £60 extra made today:j

I have written out a cheque for £300 to send to A&L so that makes my overpayments for this month £522.

I only have £243 in my account now to last till next Friday's payday but I think that will be more than enough plus Family Allowance goes in next Tues also.

I just need to find the energy from somewhere to go and do these Mystery Shops:o what I really feel like doing is going for a lie down.

I hope you're feeling better soon, have you had something to eat and maybe a couple of paracetomol.

Yes I am picking at fruit and have had a ryvita with some cottage cheese on. Think I will have a bit of a lie down and so the MS around 2pm.

Hi LouiseJ

You are doing really well on the OP front (great to hear you are back on track again) not to metnion your weight loss:j

Re feeling unwell - definatley something going round - i've come down with the lurgy myself this week. Look after yourself

Regards
ATT

LouiseJ

Thanks for that ATT xx

Managed to get to slimming club and have lost another 1.5 lbs this week:j

I am also feeling much better too. I have rested alot today and I am a great believer in the healing power of sleep.

I had a really horrible case of phneumonia a couple of years ago which I still blame on carrying on and trying to ignore that I was ill, going into work and pushing myself too far. I ended up with a collapsed lung and now I actually listen to my body instead of putting the earplugs in:rolleyes:

Nice overpayment this month Louise. Impressed & jealous. Good for you.
