    Oh god, all those chocolate biscuits. I don't buy it at all (it=chocolate) I simply eat everything. I bought so much chocolate in Germany that even I took a month to get through it, but never again....

    Right... a challenge... a weekly to do list on the diary thats updated as and when. I'm on! That'll force me to be more realistic with my weekly list, actually - I do do a list, but its a bit, shall we say unwieldy? Okay, I'm off to my diary, and Benben's, I'd lapsed on hers. Will have a check through to pick up tips, then do my own weekly list.

    See ya!

Only the meal planning and food shop so will do that after dinner then have a look at what I can get shot of on the ebay challenge!

    Not a bad day's work, and certainly more than I have achieved today!!

    Oh yeah, the necessity of dreaming... I don't really need to lose weight, but I am absolutely desperate for cardio fitness and toning.

    Snoozing and contented dogs over at mizmir's.... what a lovely, lovely image.

    Mizmir is a terrible influence.......she FORCED me to partake early last year in this ridiculous exercise called matched betting........kept going on and on and on until I took the plunge!!

    And for that I will be forever grateful!!
