I've got a Wii as well. The boxing on Wii sports really gets me sweating and I am loving the tennis. Enjoy the Wii fit too and am using that to track weight. I feel I have to beat the game!
Ordered mine online and it come two days later from Amazon.
Just one comment though; you mention that your calorie target is 1400, which sounds sensible for you (not sure of your exact stats), but I notice that your actual day to day meal plans vary quite wildly from around 1100 to 1400.
In my experience it's not a good idea to be much under your calorie target because while it may feel okay for a couple of days, it will catch up with you. You will start to feel hungry and be more in danger of binging to make up, or even stopping your eating plan altogether.
If you've given yourself 1400 calories, make sure you get them all!

I'm not too good at boxing but LOVE the tennis - feels like a proper workout!

That makes sense, my only 'problem' is when I'm being good its hard to hit 1400 cals. I am so wary of my fat content and now I only drink once a week (which is harder than I thought) it seems I am nowhere near my 1400. What do you advise?
You could try to aim for a certain number of calories per meal, e.g
breakfast 400
snack 150
lunch 300
snack 150
dinner 400
or whatever. It's better to eat more calories earlier in the day. You need the energy, but also it means that you are giving yourself more of a chance to get the right number of calories in, instead of getting to dinnertime and finding that you've under-eaten.
It's the old adage of 'breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dine like a pauper'. Works quite well.
ETA: you don't have to be too wary of fat content. Fat is important and can be a useful way of filling up. You can have cheese, yoghurt etc, just watch the amounts.
It's end of day 7 and I am feeling really pleased with myself. It's been quite straight forward with all my meal plans in place at the beginning of the week. I have taken on board everyone's advice and plan to start week 2 even stronger.
I made some really positive steps today. I turned down bacon rolls with the boss for breakfast AND I refused (politely) to eat the bakewell tart (I LOVE BAKEWELL TART) that Mr P put in front of me. Instead I did 20 mins Wii Fitness!
I also managed to achieve all my goals and challenges for the week on 'My Health Check'.
