Lucky Week

Friday, June 29, 2012

This week has been a mix of things.
I was fed up when I weighed myself as no weight has shifted still the same 168 pounds as I was last week emoticon what a downer after exercising and eating properly oh well never mind at least it is not a gain.
Then something nice, very nice happened.
I have been trying to find ways to save money well not pay out as much would be more accurate. The bank we are with charges £15 a month for our account that is a lot of money when on a tight budget. So I decided to look around and see if there was a bank that would not charge and make it easy to change all the direct debits over to them as well and still have a good service. Tall order.
Not only did I find one that does all the donkey work of changing the direct debits over but they are giving new customers money to put into their account. So we have an appointment on Tuesday to change our bank. We will save £15 a month and have some money in the account as well. emoticon Now that is what I call a result.
But that is not all folks.
We had a free upgrade on our Internet as well. The box thing that sends the signal for broadband kept going wrong, cutting out, turning itself off or simply would not connect. So we complained and they sent out an engineer to replace the unit with their brand new one and upgraded us for free.

Then Tuesday we went to see a film Snow White and the Huntsman, good film but spoilt by the screen having red and green stripes going down the screen and faint black marks across the screen at the top and middle.
I asked to see someone as I was not happy having paid to see the film and having it spoilt by the screens defects. I got an apology and two complimentary tickets to see a film anytime I want. emoticon

It is DH's Birthday on Monday (2nd July) and he wanted the DVD Woman in Black but decided it would cost too much so asked for a book that is on sale instead. Guess what? the DVD was being sold for £10 so I got it and the book so he will a nice surprise on Monday. He will also have the collage I made for him as well.

So quite a week and all unexpecgted as well ok no weight lost but hey I got lots of nice things happen emoticon

    Sorry about the no weight loss, but that's awesome news with everything else. Don't you love when things fall into place like that? I once went to the movies with a friend and when we came out, the manager was standing outside and apologized that the a/c wasn't working. We didn't even notice as it wasn't that hot outside or in. Anyway, he gave everyone 2 free passes, which was awesome.

As for not losing, maybe your body is "storing" it for next week and will surprise you with an extra-big loss!!! That would be awesome. Either way, keep working hard and you'll get there. We all have a slow weeks, it's to be expected. I always just remind myself that if losing weight was easy, everyone would be thin.
