After not coming home after staying at the boy's last night and going straight to work, didn't have chance to go to the gym today yet.
So here I am now.
I decided to walk a long way round to put up my steps (definitely worked - on 7500 now when I was on about 3000. Not at 12k yet, but still gotta walk home), and the long way involved walking through town.
The town I live in doesn't really have much unless you like getting your haircut or having a takeaway - there is literally enough takeaways to have a different one each night for a fortnight - and then some - and I wonder why I was fat haha.
Anyway, we do have a store called the original factory shop, where I used to work for 3 years. They sell all sorts, food bits, toiletries, toys, shoes, clothes, homeward, electricals etc.
I popped in there to have a look at their microwaves as I may or may not accidentally blown up the boy's microwave whilst trying I put my dinner on last night. I set the time, went to press start and it just died. It is old though.
Whilst in there, I browsed their clothes sale. Wasn't planning on buying any, cuz I haven't got my purse with me , but fancied a nosey. Tried on a few bits and here's there results of the nicer looking bits.
This was a size 10 and only £3. May actually have to go back for it.
The peach trousers were a 10 as well. They did up but were a little too tight on the legs. So I'm not quite there in trousers yet, but I don't mind because I've always been bigger on the bottom.
But also because the flowery shorts were a 10 and they did fit. So it's just a matter of cut.
Finally, the play suit was a 10 as well. But I reckon I could probably fit into an 8.
So overall I'm saying that on the top/dress size I'm an 8-10 and in trousers/bottoms I'm a 10-12.
Before I was easily a 12-14 in tops, 14-16 in dresses and a 16-18 in trousers.
That's pretty much 3 dress sizes over my entire body that I've dropped.
Extremely chuffed, even if I can't always see it, I can tell in the clothes I can fit into now.
So I'm actually a little excited about going shopping.
Seeing what kind of clothes the boy likes to see me in and to get them in small sizes.
Just not the bit where he wants to pay haha

Thanks ladies.
My mum also has a discount card for the store, so I can get 20% off the black dress, meaning it would be just £2.40.
May actually have to go get it.
I really like the peach jeans - I need some new coloured jeans as my old ones are too baggy now, but I didn't feel comfortable in the 10s and the next size up they had was a 14 =(
But ah well.
Primarni often do coloured jeans cheaply - it's where I got my old ones from.
And they're a stretchy material in there too.
And I think everyone gets jealous of everyone else.
I'm really jealous of your figure Serena - you're so tiny and you have massive boobs.
And Trina is so tall and gorgeous and such a nice shape as well.

I went back and I couldn't find the dress =(
Think it's been sold.
Ah well... obviously wasn't meant to be.
I'm obviously supposed to wait for something amazing.
And maybe about the jeans.
Perhaps if they're still there when I hit goal, I'll treat myself to them.
Yeah... I'm 5.4
I suppose you're not actually that much taller, just in that pic of your awesome dress the other night, you looked gorge - proper tall and slim, so I just get it in my head that you're a lot taller than me haha.
It's great when people notice you're losing weight.
I was in the shop the first time and an old colleague said about my weight, and I was wearing my baggy gym clothes.
Then when I went back, I was wearing a fairly baggy tshirt again and another 2 ex colleagues mentioned it as well.
I need to wear baggy clothes more often - apparently it's more noticeable haha.

Just a quick note about the rest of my evening.
So I headed back to the shop to get the dress, but I couldn't find it, so I think it had sold =(
Obviously wasn't meant to be.
On the way to the shop from the car park though, we walked past the market place, where crowds of people were gathering - tonight is prom night!
Everyone tends to meet up at the market place to get their various transport choices.
There was a stretch range rover, lots of lovely old cars and an open topped army truck with the driver dressed in old school army gear (the kind you see in shows such as land girls).
They all looked beautiful.
There was even an asian girl dressed in a beautiful tradition indian style dress - not quite a sari.
Then off we went to morrisonis to see what bargains they had.
Walked in and the bakery bread/cake reduced rack was right at the entrance, with cookies, bread rolls & donuts on it, all around 15p.
We resisted though.
We took the cookies for grandma, but left the donuts.
I could've easily picked up a pack and eaten them - they were lemon ones - I've never heard of lemon filled donuts before.
Mum did pick up a fruit loaf from there though.
Then we wandered to the chilled reduced section, and picked up 8 x 150g of chicken roll packets for just 9p each, a 2pk rhubarb crumble puddings for grandma for 39p and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Right next to the chiller was another reduced cake rack with boxed cakes and branded rolls and stuff.
They had 2 pre packed parcel birthday cakes reduced from £7.60 to just 99p, so we nabbed them both and took one to grandma (for her birthday tomorrow - which I still haven't made a card for =/) and the other for my sister (although, tbh, it'll probably last til thursday so I could have it for myself... we'll see how the week goes on)
Got a whole bunch of other bits & pieces too and saw the most beautiful and tiny 8 week old baby.
So gorgeous!!
Then headed to Tesco and grabbed a few salady bits for 10-20p each.
Dropped grandma's goodies off to her, then came home.
Dinner tonight was a sainsbury's cottage pie for 7pp, and 47g of the fruit loaf for 3pp topped with 22g mixed fruit jam for 1pp and now I'm out of points.
I'd been eyeing up that fruit loaf the entire time since mum put it in the trolley and I just had to have a bit.
Because it was a bakery item, it didn't have any NI on it, but I based it on tesco's sliced fruit loaf and just hoping I haven't pointed it wrong.
I've done 16038 steps today.
Not quite as impressive as Serena's count, but I'm sorry Serena, but my mum's done 36000 steps today.
I didn't realise she walked that much.
We're planning on walking to grandma's tomorrow as long as it's nice out to try and get both our steps up as we both know saturdays are not very productive days lol.
I'm thinking I might have a bit of birthday cake for my pudding at lunch, but it will 100% be pointed!
Think that's all I've got to say tonight.
Just gonna chill for a bit then head to bed.
Hope you've all had a good day and got lots of lovely plans for the weekend =)

Morning Sweetie
I'm loving the sound of your bargains and your steps but OMG at your Mums Step Count! How many AP does that earn her? Poppy's Party starts at 330 tomorrow so I'm hoping to be organised and get my bargains at 3 with just enough time to get her to the party, I think there will only be time for Asda as oppose to Asda/Morrissons/Sainsbury's but fingers crossed I will still do ok.
Sorry to hear ant the dress :-( You just know that the perfect dress is out there, it just wasn't that one on this particular occasion!
I hope that your Grandmas has a lovely birthday, make sure you put plenty of Sun Cream on for your walk, it's going to be 27 Degrees today, HOT HOT HOT!
Lots of Love x

Hey.
I don't really have a lot to say about yesterday.
I didn't have time to log in as was constantly on the go (and limited battery on my phone)
Day time was good, went to zumba, saw my grandma and then headed to the city for the music festival.
Then it started to rain, so we took shelter in the nearest pub, where my 2 friends proceeded to get drunk.
I was bored and tired, so wanted to leave early, but felt guilty about leaving the pair of them in town on a saturday night, drunk.
They then text the boy from my phone, which caused him to get annoyed and stop talking to me for the rest of the night.
Then one of my friends was so drunk she was sick in the toilets.
I ended up waiting til half 11 for them, and got fed up so went to find them.
I overheard them talking about me and the boy and how they think it's not going to end well and he doesn't want me for who I am, which really peed me off.
So I told them to go do one and that I was going home.
I couldn't be hanging around waiting for them all night cuz I've got work this morning and that they know jack all about my relationship.
She'd even compared it to her own relationship, which came to an end because he cheated on her.
It's NOTHING like that.
But now I'm wondering what else they've been saying about us behind my back.
So he's not talking to me, they're slagging me off caused me to get into a right state and doubt just crept into my mind about everything.
And now I don't know where I stand with any of them.
So I'm off to work.
Hopefully the boy will text me back by the time I've finished work as I was supposed to be seeing him straight from work and now I don't know what's going on.
Hope you had a better day than me and enjoy your sunday.
