[Mittz]

Well, I'm just here for the banter and a chance to talk bollox, and we also do weight loss, WATER drinking (I'm the 'ficcial water monitor, and I have a badge), and heart to hearts..

I am the Mittz(not Mitts), I need to lose about 10lb, but get my head straight in the process..

I am sure one of my lovely companions will be along shortly......

Helllooooooo!

I'm Bitter - also around 8-10lb to lose. Need to cut out the cheese and Vino and exrcise more.

Hello! I'm TC. 2 stone 9 into a 5 stone weight loss. Losing momentum and have been eating too much and exercising too little, so please kick my arse, ladies!

Hello, I'm wasting, I need to lose a million lsb and cheer the fuck up in general.

Hello i'm Alice and technically have around 3st to lose, but with only 15 (yes 15) days left til this baby is due i will hold off on the actual dieting. Could do with drinking more water and not eating whole packs of biscuits in one sitting though

Wasting - cheer the fuck up!

Hello. Is this a new thread idea, or a continuation of an old thread? I mean to say, are you lot buddies who have run out of room on your last thread, or are you all just getting together for the first time?

Yuno - kind of a continuation on an old thread that has 'disbanded' are you joining us?

only 15 days alice - blimey that last bit has really flown by

Yuno - i have no idea how to answer that.

Is Mouse all loved up and too tired to come on to the thread?

Cheering the Fuck up sounds like a good plan.
Calling my Dad names has weirdly made me smile. .
It is hard to describe how controlling he is, but at one point he held his arms open wide and said 'you can be this good to a woman', then he held 2 fingers very very closely together and said 'and make this big a mistake, and that's it, you pay for life'.
No generalisations or barely hidden barbs there then Dad. Even the DC's Dad was at one point at the way he was speaking to Mum.

Anyway...No more MittzTheMiserableFecker!

Potato smiley anyone?

Mm, I love processed potato, had potato waffles for lunch (at about 3.30 after DP's cycle had finished).

He did the London-Cambridge in 3hrs 4 mins, average 19mph!

Well done MrTrills. What are you cooking him for dinner? Or takeaway?

I don't think processed potato has as much salt in as it used, i know it is healthier, but they just don't taste the same. Haven't had a waffle for years....

No, I'm hopeless at keeping up with buddy threads, however enthusiastic my intentions. Was just eyeing my spare tyre in between mouthfuls of crisps and thinking that I ought to get motivated to get rid. I am so nearly motivated... any day now...

Picture of my Purdy DD on my profile

I am not a fan of processed potato.. or potato really that much.

So is DP going to get a massage then Trills? That's not too shabby!

Hello yuno.. nice of you to drop in even if you don't hang around.. watch out some minx doesn't nab your wine

Cool outfit Mittz!

Not sure about dinner, seeing as how we had lunch at 3.30. Quite tempted by some curry though (made with bought curry paste, so not 100% homemade but not takeaway either).

Maybe if I just have a small portion it'll be ok.

Feel free to drop in and out Yuno, you know where we are.

I will definitely join you in a drink saf. I'm pooped.

House is blitzed and we are packed and ready to go.

hello and welcome Yuno. the Shiney threads are no more, this thread has some but not all of the posters who used to post on the Shiney threads, there's not been any arguments or anything, just people and times change. From my POV this is an absolutely ideal time to shake things up a bit and have newcomers.

Please talk me out of getting a dog.
I think it is an emotional gaping hole that I am trying to fill, but it keeps popping into my head as a good idea. And it so isn't.

Oh god. I could kill for a good curry, and someone to natter to whilst eating it...

Mittz - NO to the dog. Dogs IM limited E tend to be quite needy. Sort of like having another child. Go for something more self-sufficient - like a cat or a goldfish!

curry - sigh - well I have had a boring healthy dinner and live a good few hours away. apart from that I would love to have a curry with you, maybe on day this holidays
