One Man's Junk is Another Man's Treasure

I have decided to sell a few things on Trade Me (kiwi version of Ebay). Have bought plenty on it, usually bloody diet books!! But, last week decided to offload a couple of items of clothing that I have that are too big for me now. I mean, why have them sitting in the wardrobe tempting me to get back into them??

So I have listed a couple of things and made $33 for 3 things!! So, that is $33 for interim sized clothing for me. I mean, I don't see the point in splashing out on new clothes when I intend to keep losing. So, have bought a nice stripey top for work and have bought Peta three pumpkin patch things. Feeling pretty bloody "bargain hunter of the year" right now!

Full day at work went well yesterday. Went throught the invoicing procedure that only happens a couple of days a month. Was quite involved, as have never used Accountant's Office or MYOB before, but I got the gist of it by the end of the day. Eating was excellent while at work. Had two pieces of multigrain toast for breakfast with avocado and sliced tomato, seasalt and cracked pepper. Then for morning tea had a small slice banana cake and a pear. (Yes, I know, I made a banana cake on Friday and at 6pts for one small piece it is a frickin nightmare to have in the house!!). For lunch I had a lettuce, avocado, tomato and black olive salad with a light spray of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. And a mandarin and a tamarillo. Then a drink of blackcurrant juice for afternoon tea. Then had a homemade Chicken Thai Green Curry with Basmati rice for tea. Would have been completely in points range if it hadn't been for the three pieces of bread with lite butter that I shovelled in to the abyss while waiting for tea. So, once again, I come to the problem of that danger zone. That period between getting home from work and sitting down for dinner. How do I suppress the hunger to allow time to get the dinner in???
