Haha, I really don't own any smart clothes at all. We dress in normal stuff where I work. Hmmm I'm just going to have to find the least baggy/bleach stained/holey leggings and some sort of top/dress that isn't too tatty :/ Being smart is NEVER on my agenda, I haven't brushed my hair in 10 years lol (dreadlocks!)
This could be interesting. But, my CV and references are solid, so if they are more bothered about my clothes then they can swivel. The job wouldn't be a smart one anyway so I'd probably be overdressing if I was to go smart? who knows.

I don't own 1 pair of trousers!!! Well I do now, but they are too small - I bought them as I have no clothes that I can really notice my weight loss in so I bought some size 16 combats and keep trying them on, the day I fit into them is a day of victory, and also the first time I'll have worn trousers in a few years. Give me leggings, leggings and leggings all day

I hope so LOL. I'm not one to dress smart 
Saying that, every interview I've ever been to in my life, I've been offered the job. Breaking down the barriers of what you look like and who you really are tattoos, peircings and a fear of starchy suit material does not a bad worker make. I haven't worn jeans for...hmmm maybe 8 years? I find trousers very difficult to fit into, I have a massive backside so have to buy sizes that are way, way too big for me to fit it in. then it sags at the back, and my legs are shrouded in a sea of denim, so i gave up on trousers and moved to leggings. Never looked back, i feel naked without them. I even wear leggings under long skirts in hot countries. I couldn't imagine not ever having them on.

I feel well pious at the minute - just got a sugar craving, and instead of reaching for chocolate (noooo!) I am eating some grapes instead. yum yum and actually much more satisfying.

Got offered the job at interview. Seems a really nice place, and will be good to get some shifts there Then I got home after my interview and bumped into a mate who said there might be some gardening work going - double job win in one day! Off to usual work at 8pm tonight I am going to work solidly through winter and get as much £££ as possible!!
Foods been good today although i'm feeling really ill. My stomach has been cramping since last night and I've got a headache - hope I haven't caught yet another cold/bug, I'm getting bored of them now!! Not sure what to have for dinner as I don't really feel like standing up and cooking

maintained last night, which isn't too bad, but i was hoping to get into the 12's. Had dinner at jamie oliver's last night, was very naughty!!! Am back on it today, and being super good until next Thursday as I feel I have some work to do in order to improve my chances of a loss next week
Now writing up a meal plan for the week ahead, its really hard to think of exciting meals that are cheap. so much of the stuff i eat costs so much money but I'm on a mad saving spree at the minute so i can go self employed in spring and sack in my job (woohoo!!) Money is tight, but I don't want to stop enjoying my food. I wreckon I spend about £40-60 each week in the supermarkets which seems like such a lot of money to spend for 1 person??? Anyone else think this? x

Just done a lovely meal plan for the week ahead. I am hoping all the stuff i need doesn't exceed £25 as that's all I've got!!
Been at work too much this week hence not much activity on here. Someone at work has already completed, yes completed, their xmas shopping. Has got me thinking though, and I'm now seeking out bargains online. Have got a £200 budget for everyone unless something really amazing comes up. thankfully i don't have to buy for many people!! I'm so rubbish at coming up with ideas though. need to get me thinking cap on
