Dairy Of a Lardy kid aged 43 and 3 quarters...

Oh. Is it not possible for your family to understand that you would prefer your treats to be of the non edible sort? That sounds a bit harsh and it wasn't meant to, but have you tried spelling it out to them? Otherwise, be brave and enjoy your easter egg slowly with allowable syns per day. If at all possible

Oh poo to the council tax issue, you can see why they want it back but nevertheless

Who said i preferred my treats to be of the non edible type? lol

I don't actually want to give them the 'I'm on a "diet" talk' I want them to know that everything is fine in moderation, and its ok to buy me choc because no food is off limits.

I've got a ridiculous relationship with food, I don't want either of them to have that. I shall do with the Easter egg what I did with my Mother's Day chocs, I just ate a little bit each day within my syns . I can give the wine and the pub lunch a miss but the thought and effort of buying me a Easter egg and O doing his cooking for me I will totally indulge in. I suppose thinking about it the only person making it hard this weekend is me. I can chose to keep it all in control and stay within my syns or I chose not to xx

So anyway most of today I have spent at the local council offices trying to come to some amicable agreement regarding their mistake in my council tax bill that they expect me to pay all at once. Thankfully in the end even though I'm still paying for their admin error I can pay my bill over 12 months. I could've argued the point but the conclusion would still be the same I still have to pay for their miscalculation and they're still a bunch of thick sh!t tossers

Anyhoo.....also got a text from O asking me what where we up to on Saturday - long story short, he's invited us round to eat because in his words "it's long overdue that we cook for you and I want to clear the air".... I'm gob smacked!....I mean really, REALLY!!!. But typical me I'm fretting about syns etc lol...it's gonna be a hard weekend syn-wise me thinks with T being off and O cooking....but I'm very proud of him for obviously taking what I said on board and moving on from it and also looking forward to this 'spread' he's putting on for us (his words). x

Hooray to o- knew he would think about it and come around as what you said was reasonable - good on him. As for the council tax - what is their problem?!! So annoying and ignorant

A very healthy perspective

I'm gonna really struggle I think this weekend. T has already told me that the 2 youngest have bought me a huge Lindt Easter egg has a surprise. I'm going to eat at O's on Saturday and T was talking about going for a walk Sunday then pub lunch and pints on the way back....help!!!!! :O

For our 2012/2013 council tax bill, the system decided to give us a 25% single persons reduction even though the bill is addressed to Mr & Mrs lol. I phoned once and T phoned on another 2 times to say there's obviously a glitch in the system etc and we don't know why this benefit is on our tax bill etc. Assured us that our bill had been amended on the system and they would amend the S.O accordingly. Didn't think anything of it until bill for 2013/2014 came today with this rogue 25% thing I even took our bank statements and marriage certificate etc. Basically when push comes to shove even though its their system that's giving out random reductions and its their error we still have to pay the 25% reduction that the system kept giving us every month even though we kept telling them. They have to recover it and we have to pay it back.

We had the same problem when we moved in. They gave us a vacant house discount of 100% and I kept telling them when we moved in. They then decided to bill us all at once for the last 6 months even though we'd called like a dozen times. It was ridiculous!!!!! Xxx

Now that's a cool job - giving out the awards, nice as you're giving great news! I had a couple of half losses in the first few weeks & it does focus the mind for the next week. Don't be down, you've had some vino & although this weekend could be tough you know you will do it. It is still a loss and that's the important thing - to keep plugging downwards xx

Good Evening!

Well what can I say about today other than...food, cake, food, cake, food, cake, beer, wine, chocolates, more food, cake and beer.

Positively spoiled to death by O with the lovely food he and his gf cooked none of it was SW friendly in the slightest and after all the effort they both went to I wasn't going to start getting picky either.

I don't know how I'm going to pull this back for a loss on Friday, I'm just going to have to try and get my head back in it tomorrow.

Hope you're all having a lovely Easter weekend xxx
