Who's first, me or Small? Grin

LOL Spiro! I notice the first comment is from someone called twig9 - that's not me, honest! (I'd be twig1 : )

Right then, Operation Not Fat Cow is underway. 2 slices toast with Vegemite (no butter) for brekkie, Chinese Quorn oil-free stir-fry thingy with jacket potato for dinner and for lunch. And only fruit and a gazillion litres of Coke Zero in between. And my dieting saviours - a Skinny Cow mint ice-cream for afters tonight (same calories as a banana!)

TheSmallPrint · 10/10/2011 10:08

I saw that Twigs and thought it was you!

I had one slice of toast with Marmite which is my normal breakfast - I don't think I can eat any less than that Sad denies the fact that I had two bacon rolls for breakfast yesterday

I am about to go and make a cappucino and eat the remains of SB Major's lunch pizza (I craftily cut it into rectangles to fit in his lunch box bwah ha ha ha)

PassTheTwiglets · 10/10/2011 10:32

Shouldn't be eating less than that anyway Small, so don't feel bad about it! Very occasionally I can have just fruit for breakfast but I usually have toast or crumpets. Lunchbox pizza is going to be my danger zone this week - we're having healthy pitta bread pizzas for tea on Friday and I'm making extra so MissT can have them in her lunchbox. But I find it sooo hard to resist them!

Russianpony · 10/10/2011 11:23

Well operation eat less has failed here already!! Just had a chocolate digestive and I'm going out for lunch with a friend for her birthday!! Ah well, next Monday is another week, but then it's half-term and that just leads itself to extra eating.....!

Not sure I'm in the right fRAme of mind!!

And Massive it didn't take you too long to figure this out then? Grin (come back we miss you - stop digging up her road workmen - we'll send some extra muscles to help

DumSpiroSpero · 10/10/2011 12:05

extra muscles...

What's that photo from RP?

PassTheTwiglets · 10/10/2011 13:03

It's JP (note scorpion tatt) but not sure what from...

Am getting all excited 'cos am preparing Christmas cake this afternoon and then cooking it tomorrow. I hate Christmas cake but love making it. I've seen an amaaaazing cake that I would love to have a go at but it looks so much work (not that difficult, just extremely time-consuming). It has little windows that light up, isn't it beautiful?!

DumSpiroSpero · 10/10/2011 13:08

It's episode 1 of Strikeback - just before he gets a hair cut! Grin

TheSmallPrint · 10/10/2011 13:46

I love that cake Twigs! I want to make it.

DumSpiroSpero · 10/10/2011 13:46

Have just looked at the latest updates on the confessions site. OMG! I thought I was bad, but some people really do nor understand the concept of boundaries! Shock Blush

TheSmallPrint · 10/10/2011 13:46

Spiro, thankfully that photo doesn't show the mullet.

TheSmallPrint · 10/10/2011 14:00

Spiro I just did the same and was equally Shock

PassTheTwiglets · 10/10/2011 14:39

Woah, that was quite shocking!! Most of them just make me giggle but the one that was very depressing was the poor girl who said that she would never marry because she would never find anyone like Richard. First instinct was "woah - loony!" but then it just made me feel desperately sad that somebody would think like that :(

TheSmallPrint · 10/10/2011 14:43

It made me feel scared!

TheSmallPrint · 10/10/2011 14:43

Sorry, I was being flippant. You're right it is quite sad if that's genuinely what she thinks.

TheSmallPrint · 10/10/2011 15:09

You cah! Grin Grin

(accurate though)

DumSpiroSpero · 10/10/2011 15:56

Twigs - one can only hope that one was tongue in cheek and the irony was lost in translation over t'internet.

As for other one, I blushed just reading that, and let's face it, I'm not exactly a prude Grin!

Russianpony · 10/10/2011 15:56

Must have missed that one about the girl who would never marry!Shock. But yes some of them are starting to go beyond decent

You're mean to Small, Twigs - that would more likely be my version of the cake!!! I love that design though - but who has enough time for that?! I've never made Christmas cake, maybe this should be the year to do it? I've made MIL's secret family recipe Christmas puddings since I was allowed the recipe as a wedding present! Jolly yummy, but oh my word, so time-consuming having to boil it for the best part of a day!! Suppose that time must be coming up soon too!Hmm

Anyway, hope you've all had good days - mine has been infinitely better than yesteRdAy (although that couldn't have been hard!). Hope yours has been too Spiro?Smile

Where's BiscuitBrew? Have we scared her off with our high-brow intellectual discussions??! Smile

DumSpiroSpero · 10/10/2011 16:00

Not too bad so far RP, but I'll reserve final judgement until after Parents Evening!

Off to see TTSS later - doubt I'll understand it but it's an evening out.

Russianpony · 10/10/2011 16:07

Ooh must be that time of year - I've got DD's parent's evening on Tuesday and DS's on Friday!

Enjoy TTSS - DD wants to go to the cinema next weekend, so you'll have to tell me if it's suitable for under 8's!!Wink I do not want to see another so-called children's film although Rio was pleasantly entertaining I am not going to admit it!! Grin

DumSpiroSpero · 10/10/2011 16:08

Rio's OK - don't for Gods' sake go and see the Smurfs!

Biscuitsandtea · 10/10/2011 16:15

I'm still here ladies - fear not! Been a busy old weekend though - who ever suggested real life could get in the way - that's not right Confused

I also had a quick look at that confessions site after your discussion - also missed the one about the marrying thing, but some of them, well.....

I have been so busy I haven't even started watching N&S yet and it arrived last week - I am seriously slacking in my studies already :(

Then what with the weekend's TV of Spooks, Strictly and Downton I'm only just getting my feet on the ground again

Right, off to finish the ironing with Celebrity Masterchef

Russianpony · 10/10/2011 16:18

No - definitely not Smurfs!!! i don't know what else is on though! Off to research......
