The Countdown Has Begun...

Okay okay...I gave in to the peer pressure (not that I put up much of a fight)....the coat fits! Well maybe an inch more off the boobs and 1.5inch off the bum to go and it will fit perfectly! By the time Madrid comes along on 6th December I could actually even maybe squeeze a jumper on under there too....yay!

I did find another coat with tags on that's never been worn...a Ted Baker one in size 4 that I remember buying and sneaking into the house haha! So I tried that on and got the same again....I WILL be rocking my coats come December yay!! OH did ask where and when I got it...naturally I lied and said I got in the sales last year sometime haha!

i also dug up a a Karen Millen Mac that fitted 2 years ago...but that's got some way to go before it fits...but I don't care for now...it's too cold for that anyhow hehe!

i also did my exercise challenge and exceeded it....20 squats then had a break...followed by the other 35 straight through....THEN I did the dumbbell arm challenge (day 1 of 30) followed by 55 oblique twists with a medicine ball....all in my living room with OH as my coach....I have the deep heat ready and packed for tomorrow though...it's gonna hurt!

Yep. She had to get a size 10 bikini from warehouse and shes a small 8. She's a 6 in river island so well done you.
If I get to a loose 16 I'm driving to Leeds to collect that dress haha. Il bring skinny cupcakes.
You should try the coat. Your on a roll. And even if it dosent fit, youl see how close it is to fitting. But bet it fits x

thats total bonkers isn't it? I can't even remember the last time I ever set foot in a topshop...think I bought only leggings coz someone gave me a voucher 2years ago haha!

you can have the dress and anything else you want...as long as I have the cupcakes and maybe some wine? Hehe!

That's fabulous news about the coat. Told you so. I love ted baker. Like Karen Millen it never dates. Your going to look so fabulous in Spain. Youl almost be hoping its cold to sport your new coats :). The mac will be splendid in the spring. In fact itl probably be too big but at least you can wear a mac big and cinch it in with the belt.
Andy dosent think I've ever bout anything full price. He'd collapse if he knew the average cost price is around 200 pounds haha.
Your going crazy with the exercise. Your motivating me to get back to the gym on my return. Well maybe x

She's a topshop and urban outfitters girl. Nothing in topshop fits me so I hate venturing in there.

I shall bring copious amounts of cupcakes and free flowing wine :).

I'm loving the actifry. Made bacon in it this morning as my protein meal and it was yummy. Has some sausages that you recommend for tomorrow's breakfast. Excitement everywhere x
 
That's brilliant about the coat!! Yippeeeeeeeee.

Am so pleased for you!! Xx

its thanks to you and Sammy I tried them on so now I'm even more excitable!

Sam is always appalled if he is present when I'm shopping...so I don't include him and have been known tell him I got stuff free when I bought such and such...or they gave me vouchers for being a loyal customer...I mean really! Lol.

You know you're loving my madness...just the other day I was pinned to my couch in my pjs determined not to leave the house except for emergency supplies...now look at me! It'll wear off soon...it's exhausting being motivated haha! Xx

I feel too old and too fat in Top Shop so swerve it big time!

can I marry you instead if you come armed with cake and wine? Dream date that :D

OMG the infamous actifry...it's amazing isn't it? Why did we not have them before? I did fajitas in it tonight....and my turkey for my emergency office salad for tomorrow...you know my weird thing of pretending to eat it in front of others lol.

im craving sausages again in them so OH is being packed off food shopping tomorrow to find my fave sausages....you must update me when you've had yours...I'm excited for you!

Omg I thought I was the only one who told outrageous fibs. I've said I got the first 10 weeks free at weight watchers because he can't believe people pay someone to weight them when there's scales in the house. Same with slimming world. I've won vouchers. I get fictious nhs discounts. My mum bought it. And so it goes on aha. I also hide stuff in the boot of my car for months. It's ridiculous.
See I would sit in the house with my coats on over my pjs. Just cause I could.
Send some motivation my way. I suspect il get back into it next sat after my food and cocktail fest x

When I'm in those types of shops I'm always waiting to be escorted out for being too fat so I too avoid them. I'm only dragged in when I'm being fleeced by my daughters.
We do have cheekychick to thank for the heads up on the actifry. I'd never even heard of it. I've even gave it a permanent spot on my work surface because I do think I'm going to use it. I'm in a highly excited state about the sausages.
What are we like at work - pretend food and hiding wrappers. It's all about the show lol x

hahahaha I am proper Pmsl! The lies we tell are immense! Earlier this year I was on crutches for 3 months...that didn't stop me shopping...only I had to get the delivery boxes in and out quick and contents hidden before he got home from work to hide my shopping addiction and the lies we're ridiculous...including that my friends bought me stuff to cheer me up as I was bed bound...utter bunkum!

i reckon I will have peaked my tomorrow and run out of steam knowing me...you can deffo take over when you get back...soooo jealous of your cocktail drinking already...have 4 for me pleeeeeaaasse! Xx

Oh yes. Only the outside bin for boxes will do. Preferably hidden safely at the bottom. You did well to scuttle about hiding stuff on crutches. Tho I'd have been the same. If they only knew the price of make up and skin care they'd die. Andy dosent have a clue why I flip when he's lounging in Jo Malone bubbles. He'd have a heart attack.

You won't run out if steam, your on a weight loss high. I'm still in size 20s but I know I will be in a total frenzy when I'm in 18s and can shop in normal shops instead of monsoon, oh and, monsoon :(.

I love a cocktail me so 4 will be no problem. I'm assuming you mean 4 each night ;) x

I'm so glad you're both loving your actifry's... Swede chips in mine tomorrow :)

Oh I scuttled on them crutches...all the delivery drivers were in awe at re amount of stuff I could purchase and hobble...am on first name terms with them all...they know when to turn up to guarantee when I'm in now haha!

the skin care has been clearly sign posted...I would flip if i found Sam enjoying my Jo Malone and Kheils stuff...he knows that boundary...he is still amazed by my 30 odd pairs of flip flops though haha!

i have a voucher for monsoon that I don't wanna use for larger clothing...feel your pain missy....you'll be in those 18s and 16s in no time and walking straight past that monsoon
;) Xx

Andys thinks it's only Jo Malone perfume that's expensive because he just goes in, gets what he's been more or less sent for for Christmas/birthdays and out again. If only he knew..,.
Oh you can't have too many pairs of havianas. It would be rude not to have them in every colour.
I have grown to hate monsoon but can't bring myself to go into Evans x
 
Oh Marie soon you'll have broken free and can go wondering into any shop you choose!! How exciting!!
And mrsfeeneytobe I will be on the sideline cheering you on on your squat challenge!!!
I will start mine today. Although am currently up with my little sicky bubba and although I'm enthusiastic I'm tired as hell!! Am thirsty too but hate drinking too much before the scales hop in the morning!!

Yes Marie 4 a day :) yum yum xx
 
Sammy I can't wait for the normal clothes shops.

Mrsfeeneytobe the sausages in the actifry were amazing. Even Andy is now admitting we need it in our life's :) x

Ugh I know what you mean about Evans and monsoon...i too refuse to accept Evans as an option...awful I know but it's my reality boundary for things being out of control...monsoon is Soooooo boring!

I can't beleive your Andy thinks the Jo Malone perfume is your only major expense once a year hahaha! Xx

Monsoon is also overpriced. I don't mind paying 100 pounds for a wow factor dress but not for work stuff so I usually time it and stock up when they have a sale on.
Andy only ventures into Jo Malone as part of my Christmas :).
I feel totally bloated today. Think my totm is due. Struggling to stay in the frame of mind today because I know il be quaffing wine at the airport tomorrow morning x
