Have fun at his birthday Hun, on plan or not lol!

Hope you had a nice day.x

 

[Christiana]

Thanks guys! Had a lovely time, decided to have a day off plan and didn't go overboard! I got a lovely text from my consultant, which was really motivating (he must be psychic, didn't tell him about my dad's birthday). He knows I've been super-stressed and yoyo-ing like mad, so it was nice to have the mid-week encouragement.

Curvalicious, you're welcome anytime! I cannot have palm oil in the house under any circumstances, lol!
