BIWI - I may or may not have licked the teaspoon when I was finished the last batch...
However, it was licking the teaspoon, not eating the melted 400g from the bowl, so I still consider it a victory! Only 4 more batches of butterflies to go. Even if I do lick the spoon when I'm finished each batch, it's probably only going to be about 3 or 4 squares of chocolate... in 5 months, that's not bad going and that 'treat' is keeping me on the straight and narrow wrt anything else.
Lily - I don't really plan anything re treats. TBH, as revolting as this sounds, just knowing I have done it, is reward enough and keeps me 
like a daft thing! The last BIG goal was to lose 10% of my body weight in 12 weeks (which I did in I think 13 weeks?) - I had the added incentive of shoving it right up someones nose though I have a special date in August which I would like to do this before, it would mean a lot to me to be under this weight by then. It's do-able, so fingers crossed. Breaking the goals up really helps me as it never seems 'worth it' to mess it up before then and I have so much to lose that one end goal would be too depressingly far away! I also have a little bit in my diary where I write daft things like 'I will never be x weight again - ever' it's all a BUZZ right now after being stuck in 'fat hell will no escape' for so long :( :)
Cider - Tell DS that I'm very impressed that he got a prize - what was it for? Parents day on a weekend - that's a great idea (for the parents, probably less so for the teachers!). How long before your holiday? (sorry, I can barely keep track of what I'm doing, let alone anyone else! LOL). What are you going to have tonight? I fancy trying their new Legere (sp?) salad.
Nobody - I often end up having only coffee in situations where I can't take food, there's hardly ever anything low carb, vegetarian, egg free. Sometimes I take a packet of almonds with me if I can. How was Alton towers other than that?
Black - I hope you have a brilliant time!! Make sure you have lots of fat & protein with your salad - it will help you resist the buffet!!
TooMuch - I'm a natural number cruncher I'm an accountant, don't shoot me and quite 'goals/project' orientated so I find it really helps me and it also helps me to write them out, think of new ones etc. They can be quite random
Sybil - how long have you been in your job? Is there much around in your field? How badly will it affect your family if you are made redundant? My friend works for A Big Company - they have been having 'redundancies' every 6 months since the recession first hit, they're very low on staff now, but have just been told there's another xxx (huge HUGE) amount of staff going... eventually her luck is going to run out and she is the only one earning money (her DH is a SAHD and couldn't earn what she does even if he did get a job first). It's a worrying time still for a lot of people :( I'm contracting and it's shite - I'm between contracts at the moment, just doing a tiny bit of ad-hoc work and it's not enough :( Fingers crossed for you x
