If it's any consolation my Blobby challenge is not exactly breaking records, however I did at least not put any weight on whilst on holiday so that's good ish.


Thats good that you managed to stay the same when on holiday and move on to see how you get on next week. My weight loss is very slow and hopefully there will be a good result tomorrow when I go on my bathroom scales.

Gosh lots of people dieting aren't we sad that we cant do better hey at least there is alway next week and it is nice to know I am not the only one failing.

Off the the gym in 1 hour so try their pilates class if it is any good I shall join. I want a really really good deal so I am going to read Martin's suggestions so I am well informed.

I was paying £34 and that included everything this place does not have a pool so I don't want to pay more really.

Glad I am not driving anywhere today just had enough of that for now. Old neighbour coming over tomorrow to look at a house nearby. Husband is in Afghanistan and she is soon to leave the army. It would be nice if they came back they sold their house at the peak of the market and is currently paying army rent. Nice.

Take care all.

Right been to the gym and yes I have signed up. I am quite pleased with what I got and I think it will benefit me a lot.

The Pilates session turned out to be fab as the intructor is the same one as my favorite one from my old gym. They offered me £33 a month all in (£1 less than I pay now) no admin fee and 12 months membership which is fine as I am not worried about having to cancel. I haggled and got 12 guest passes to any Fitness First in the country which is cool so when I am away I can use them.

I also got their Body First package - 3 x 45 min with a personal trainer (something I really wanted to do) for £30. If you do all 3 sessesion plus 4 gym sessions within 4 weeks you get your £30 back so I am confident I can do that. Also got a nice rucksack and other goodies. Induction is on Sunday should be good.

Right house is tidy, spare bedroom made up, shopping done (by DH thanks) and lots of Matchbetting sorted too.

Really good offers this weekend. £50 free bet at Will Hill but I have a deposit limit of £25 so could only get that on it. Should make about £15 so not too bad. Ladbrokes has got the horsey offer on again pick a winner and you get a free SNR free bet. I have so far bet £50 on 6 runners and £25 on 1. I would have loved to do more but funds at Betfair are limited now so that will have to do. Once the 2.20pm race is over I can put more on but we may be out for lunch. Will have to wait and see. If I dont get a winner out of my 7 horses at least I won't loose anything and I get lots of Betfair points.

My friend is coming in about 45 min so it is nice to have time to sit and chill for a bit.

Went to look at a house yesterday with old neighbour who is thinking of returning to this area. It was posted as offers in excess of £350,000 and what a lovely house it was. Really nicely presented and really large. New ensuite new kitchen dinner and perfect decor just to my taste everywhere. 4 bedrooms, study, double garage and a really sweet garden. Looked on the houseprice sites and saw the current owners bought it for £325k 4 years ago and they must have spent a lot on it.

My friends husband is in Afghanistan so obviously they cannot buy at the moment but he is also keen for them to move to New Zealand. They are in a good position as they have £250k cash to put down so don't need much of a mortgage. I really liked that house but not sure it is worth £100k more than mine just to have more space. I think I would rather be mortgage free.

Spoke to my friend on Skype today, all the way from Afghanistan Camp Bastian. So weird perfect connection could even see him on the web cam. So strange to think he is that far away in the middle of a war and I can still talk to him. He is back in April and he can't wait. Back to civvy street for him no more army - he is only in the reserves.

Chilling out today but did have have induction at the gym. Not too bad it was the same guy who is going to be by personal trainer on Thursday so at least I know him now. I only did about 45 min in total did not really feel like more as I had had a few glasses last night.

Got a free £50 bet out of the Ladbrokes offer and just waiting for things to settle then I can update the profits.

Morning
Right proper money update this time around. Just been sorting out the current accounts and the MB accounts and it is not looking too bad. My bet with Will Hill won and I had not treated it as a SNR so actually ended up not making any money how stupid. However I did get the Ladbrokes bet sorted out and the rest of the freebies so profit now £537 since 01.01.09. Not too bad but I must stop making mistakes.

Done my expenses for work they owe me a bit so will post that off today and then when that is paid to me I should be able to knock £500 off the bathroom loan.

Also got £44.93 from Quidco so can now updated my signature.

Weight now 83.9 so can't wait to get under 80.

Snow everwhere down here on the South Coast I have never seen that much here in the 14 years I have lived here. Off course it is nothing like when I lived in Denmark overthere they can actually cope with it.

Planning to do BodyBalance later on should be able to make it to the gym less than 1 mile away even if people are being told to stay indoors. This country.....

Well done TG, MBing profits soon add up even with all the mistakes. I am always making them especially on SRs/SNRs.

I got them from HQ Hair via Pigsback. You get points and it worked out about 10% back which I used on John Lewis vouchers. I should have had free delivery but the code did not work. Asked for a refund though.

Just come back from my 3 hour trip to Calais. Got 120 bottles of wine and 7 litre on box wine. Works out about €1.80 per bottle which is quite good for Pinot Grigio that we actually like.

Also got 3 french cheeses, breadstick, onions & pate for just over €10. Still have got more expensive due to the falling pound but we saved about £1.50 a bottle of wine and of course some on the cigarettes for DH.

Off to Bristol tomorrow hope we don't get too much snow. Hope everyone is OK and not too cold. Off to bed in a mo really tired.
