Morning all.
Still ticking along. I didn't lose anything last week, which I'm not surprised about, but I didn't put anything on either which is something to be pleased about I guess.
I've decided that I am struggling while I am at home all day, so the plan is to stick to the plan as much as possible, but if I have bad things, not to get to upset about it. But get back into it properly once I have a new job.
Anything I lose in the meantime will be a bonus.
The Rice pudding is lovely isn't it. I have a copy of the dessert recipe book if anyone has any requests, I'll have a look and see if I can find something similar!Current debt - £16,300
