    Advice on sacking my cleaner?

    It is lazy that I have one, I know but me and hubby work full time and just wanted some time back for ourselves. We found a lady who runs a cleaning service for £12 hr so she started cleaning for us a few weeks back. It's an odd set up as she comes with 2 other cleaners and the three of them all...

    What size are your jeans?

    Size 14 in most shops. But I tend to find that I'm size 14 waist but size 12 legs. The joys of being apple shaped! I'm size 14-16 top. I tend to avoid jeans for this reason and stick to leggings and tunics/long tops. The strange thing is that when I was a stone and a half lighter about 5 years...

    Going it alone...so my diary and you I hope become my group! :)

    Hi, don't worry about the 6lb gain, a lot is likely to be water retention from the drinking and I bet most will be off again by next week. New year's eve is going to be my next challenge as I'm going for an Indian and some drinks but going to try and go for the lighter options! Good luck for...

    Red day lover's diary

    Hi Catherine, I've done all three plans and red works best for me. I tend to lose an average of 2lb a week but on green/ee I am lucky if I lose 1lb. I'm impatient lol so sticking with red!
