OMG that house is to die for, just look at those views!!! And well done on the brekkies and walks, hun, nothing like a bit of sea air and breeze to lift the spirits! Cat - Barnes is lovely, I used to live in Richmond and then St Margarets, so know it well . I'm SE London now, have been for a few years, rents were cheaper, and it was the only place I could afford to buy!

I love Newgale, where that house is. All it is a massive beach, a caravan site, a camp site, a pub and a cafe! That's all you need!

Me and Joe held hands for the first time on that beach! <3

I love Richmond. I think in all likelihood I'll end up buying somewhere like greenwhich. For 600k I should get closer to 800sq ft and maybe parking / river views if I'm lucky. Hard to know what will happen to property market as Bank of England very likely to raise interest rates which may reduce prices but who knows? And esp in London - it's a world of its own.

That house is lush Hershey! In sandbanks near my other home that would be 5million. Insane really because that Wales home has an equally beautiful view!!

Greenwich is gorgeous - I work there

It has great shops and restaurants, and a really lovely sense of community. I'd love to live there - but am about a 10 minute drive away.

How about this one? Ex council but riverside, 2 bed £335K - 2 bedroom flat for sale in Macey House, Thames Street, Greenwich, SE10

Lots under £400K.

I didn't get to sleep until 2:30 ish and woke at 7:30. Could be better but could also be worse!

Bday plans were to go out for a meal in the evening but have decided to try a new posh takeaway that's opened up. Thought as its my bday I'd like to give that a go as a treat.

Not sure what Joe has planned for me during the day, maybe out for lunch somewhere. I'm not allowed to look in the boot of the car as my pressies are hidden there!! Xx

Lol!!! I'd love a duvet day today. First day on clean 9. No food. Argh!! Haha

Feeling so focused though

 

[hershey]

Good luck Cat xx

Haha I figured, don't worry. So far so good- had my shake an hour ago and that's it now for the rest of the day. Not tempted at all by anything although am a bit hungry. I am so odd - when I am in the zone nothing would make me cheat. When im spiralling nothing can make me stop eating (let's say hypothetically on Saturday 4 hot cross buns, 2 chocolate bars, a bowl of cereal, 8 biscuits, a load of dairy milk - not to mention pizza and garlic bread). Hypothetically ....... **Hangs head in shame**

we all are guilty of it I'm afraid, but as long as we can admit it to ourselves and not let every day spiral out of control then we are ok!
I discovered double choc hot cross buns!! 171cals each. Not as bad as I thought. X

Brunch

I really love houmous! And having celery with it gives me that crunch I miss from crisps x

It's like a whole other world hearing those house prices, when my parents bought this house in 1996 it was 32K. According to Zoopla and the price next door sold for about 5 years ago it's worth about 83K now. Come move to Grimsby

Have a wonderful birthday sooooon almost-birthday-twin

I'd say Pembs is quite cheap, that 600k house is one on a beach. The house we're in was 85k, and we are still very close to the sea I love Wales, or pembrokeshire at least, North Wales is lovely too.

I went to Yorkshire once, Joe is from Doncaster... I wouldn't go again. Too many people and it was so busy and built up. I know there's open places and stuff but the bit I went to was all packed and busy. I must prefer quiet Wales by the sea When is your bday? x

I had an orange with my lunch. It was very tart and I got covered in juice!! I like citrus flavoured things but my tongue seems to shrivel up with real citrus. Ack.

But, I persevered! It was ok, very sort of sweet and sour. I much prefer savoury so I think having that much tang is a shock to the system.

I am trying to have my 5 a day. Not sure how much salad gets counted towards that and different portions of veg but I'm having a lot more fresh stuff than I used to x

My town isn't too bad at all, we live by the sea and it's gorgeous just walking to the beach. To walk from here to the beach is 45 mins - not time at all! I'd like to live a little more city like sometimes - but like you I don't like the people or busy places!

Birthday is Sunday (Not looking forward to it xx)

Why no looky forward?! I LOVE birthdays!! I love other's bdays, treating them and making a big fuss but i love my bdays more
No one ever makes quite the same effort I make for them but I do like being spoiled

Breakfast in bed, cards and pressies, visits from family (the ones I like). I like to have a bday week! I make sure joe and dunc have a bday week too.
For example.... It's my bday week so I'd like to have this for tea or watch that movie or go to this place xxx

Awww bless you There's only really me and mum (and the brother and sister in law may put in a visit) and the Best Friend who's in Leeds and I can't get to see her as much as I'd like to because of mum and she can't come over at the minute cos she's so poorly herself I always make much more effort like you do

It's a bit weird but I don't like mine (not least because it'll start with a 3 now... ) because I don't really like getting presents and feeling beholden to other people (which is bloody stupid, I know!). I don't mean to sound ungrateful it's just I'd rather have nothing than things like the stupidly expensive moonpig.com hampers that my brother and SIL have sent for the past couple of years with wine (I'm not a drinker) and chocolates (too high in cals and I'm not really a big choc person!) and weird vomit smelling soap. Or the hotel chocolat hamper (again, not a chocolate fan - especially not dark chocolate) I hate feeling like they've wasted their money on me
