I think everyone has 'those' friends that we just an emotional drain...I know I have one. She's always skint abd missing but won't help herself. I've stopped meeting her for coffee abd it always seems to be treat. I need to grow up and just stop contact, but I feel guilty.

Choccygirl the guilt is killing me but I need to stay strong as she just sucks the life out of me. One of my other friends is furious at her though as she took part in the secret santa and it turns out she bought a second hand gift set from the charity shop for it. It's obviously been used and the friend who bought it is fuming as she took great care choosing her secret santa. It's not as if she's skint. Anyhoo!! She's not my prob;em any more xx

Your lazy day sounds fab, although you do seem to have achieved a fair few things despite spending time on the couch! A nice balance

Homegrown, I never sit still so even a couple hours on the couch is a lazy day for me

Day 1 of healthy eating :T

I intended getting up early and woke at 8am. I shut my eyes again and opened them at 12 :eek:. I'll need to knock myself out at bedtime tonight as working tomorrow.

First spend of the year as well. Went to Aldi but just took a basket rather than a trolley and managed to stick to just £24.13. Actually horrifying that a basket can cost over £20 mind you.Was just fruit, veg, cold meat and a couple other bits.

Just boiling some eggs for lunch. Going to put soup in slow cooker and then cook mega pot of spag bol which will hopefully do 3 meals. DS however refuses to eat it if it has 'bits aka veg' in it so I can't pad it out. To be honest I just want to watch what I'm spending rather than adjust how we live too much.

Going to dust down the treadmill later and see how I get on. If I don't come back you'll know it's finished me off

Have a lovely day all xx

That's just rude. Why take part if she didn't want or could afford to specs the set amount.

Guilt is a rubbish feeling. My friend strugggles with mental health and constantly posts on Facebook about her woes. I've been there in her dark times, always call her, making sure she's ok and take her out to cheer her up. I've had difficult few months and shes called me once and popped in once. It's made my mind up that it's having a negative impact on my life. It's not a real friendship, I'm an emotion crutch for her and it's all one sided. It's silly how we beat ourselves up, but I do think we need to be selfish abd put ourselves first. I'll make a deal and won't feel guilty if you don't. X

Hi MiT, just found your diary.

Another one here following SW but not attending as I only ever weighed in and never stayed for class so I'll save my £4.50 ta!

I also find the pinch of nom website great for cheat ways to eat normal food.

Ok Choccygirl, it's a deal.

CCW hello there. I.ve popped my £14.50 away today in a side account as that's what it would have cost me to rejoin. I've also set up a standing order each week for the £4.50 so I don't forget. I'll pop in the £1 per lb as I go. I'm quite excited about this wee plan tbh.

I need to get this weight off as everything is just such an effort. I know i'm in my 50's but I feel about 100. My back breaks as soon as I try and do anything physical and I know for a fact that this is weight related as it gets better as my weight goes down.

So this has got to be a year of change in many ways for me.

2 cataracts to get surgery for. I'm getting blinder and blinder by the week. I'm apparently very young to have such bad cataracts and thy only actually started a year ago. I'm terrified at the thought of the operation but it has to be done. My optician has told me the chances are that I will not need distance glasses at all once it is done which will be amazing in itself.

I also have carpal tunnel in both hands. Unfortunately comes with the constant typing action of my job. So those will be getting done as well this year.

I'm just falling to bits

but all very fixable so I'm very lucky. One downside though is that I will be off of work so I'll be limited to the overtime I can do and debt repayments will be affected but I will deal with that when I need to.

So I'm away to try tread mill and see how I go

:rotfl::rotfl:I only managed 5 minutes before my back screamed stop ya fat f**k. So I stopped :rotfl:. I'll try for 6 minutes tomorrow

So just ate massive bowl of spag bol. Also got 2 more meals from it for freezer. So 3 meals for 3 from £6 of mince. Not too bad

. I've also made my overnight oats for work tomorrow. Doing the bring lunch to work challenge. I'm trying to take breakfast in a swell as I normally have toast and butter when I arrive in the office and need to stop that as part of the healthy eating.

Just going to sit for a while and digest and then do some ironing
