Advent Calendar Girls 10 Week Challenge!

[K.T]

I LOVE cleaning and tidying

I've got a really cluttered house if you are interested....? Very clean just full of junk!
:8855:

I'd love to do my garden justice, when we bought our house 2 years ago the garden was stunning and really well cared for but unfortunately I'm so un-green fingered, all I bring myself to do is trim back the trees and bushes. I did plant an old belfast sink with herbs which were lovely until one of the cats pooed in them

Haha luvvit! Well at least the house is clean...that makes me happy! X

Glad you enjoyed your hols! Where did you go? I'm very impressed with your STS! And how lovely to know that you won't be spending weeks getting rid of a gain! I'm off to Madeira in 4 weeks and would love to come back with a STS- I'd consider that a great result! X

Ooh how lovely, a bit of winter sun, though I can't complain about the weather here in Normandy at the moment. Today & yesterday it was T-shirt weather and the same is predicted for the next week or so.

My hols weren't exotic at all - Huddersfield, in fact, and it rained every day. But we were spoilt rotten with my mum's cooking, meals out and all the treats we love over there. I must admit, though, that I think my tastes are changing as I haven't really enjoyed my fish and chips on the last 2 visits. I'd much rather have a Chinese or a curry, but my dh is French and doesn't "do" spicy! You should have seen his face when he tried lime pickle for the first (and only) time! Whenever I have to spend time on my own I practically live on home-made SW curries lol.

oohhh ive just realised i get my free week this week for club 10

[Leapfrog]

Woo indeed Ninnins

Gardening. Hummm - we had a huge garden in the UK that was absolutely pristine when we bought the house. 20 years later having removed all the formal beds and gone for shrubs it was much more to our slightly "wilder" tastes. Never that tidy as we both worked long hours during the week and sailed most weekends.

Now? We have a patio and pots. Much easier for TWO non-green fingered folk.

goes to now-or-never with a tremendous 5.5 lbs - with gonnabesmall in second with 4.5 lbs (which would have won many weeks on our old challenge).

This week 49 of us weighed in and we lost 77½ lbs between us - thats 5 st 7½ lbs. Phew.

And overall we have now lost a grand total of 97 st 2.8 lbs. That is absolutley unbelievable. That is of course if all your stats are up to date - and I think a few aren't!

So another week strikes tomorrow and I have to face those dreaded scales again and see if I am any nearer target!!

Good luck everyone for the coming week.

Spoil the party? Never . . .
Just liven it up again next week when you get rid of it all in one go.

Glad you enjoyed yourself in the Lake District though. I love it - although not been now since our last long holiday to the UK in 2007.

acc, we all have weeks like that and you've had a holiday so gains are allowed!! I stepped on the scales this morning (to prepare myself for official WI tonight!!) and it looks like I've gained about 3lb!!!!!!!! Aaaaagghhh!! I knew I had a bad day a few days ago but apart from that have been on track- I've had a very 'carby' weekend though- lots of rice and potatoes and *week is also looming but I hadn't expected that much of a gain!!! Oh well, it's all swings and roundabouts and the way I look at it is that this will keep me on my toes to really focus this week and try and zap the gain!!! You can soooo do the same!!!XXX

 

[Lady_Amalthea]

For shaaaame. I have gained. 3lbs on . So back to the start for me!! Knew it would happen being home this week & having a friend visit. Never mind, just means I need a steady loss of nearer the 2lb mark to achieve my goal.

Sorry guys!
