I think this is thread 10. We are an unruly bunch of MNetters trying to shed a lot a little or just some pounds through a variety of methods. Others just trying to eat healthily.

Newcomers most definitely welcome, just be advised the post rate is insane so be sure to check in regularly!

Our hostess Ms Diamond will be along soon I'm sure.

Not only has Sazzles failed to bring me round any G&B chocolate, but now Shine has forgotten all about me! How will I go on, knowing my idol is unaware I exist?

Thank goodness my other idol, the wonderful Syc remembers me (although I am rather dubious of her description of me as 'superfit' - more like 'super-unfit' )

I have found on the internet that DD4 is suffering from hives - acute idiopathic urticaria to be more specific . In other words, she's got a random rash, which seems to come on as she wakes, and then goes, and doesn't bother her, and seems to have no cause. So we just wait for it to get better!

DH is improving, but keeps trying to do stuff . He's slept a lot today, and I have done lots of work .

DH gone to bed now, all four DDs still awake though, but being fab and helpful so I don't mind.

The weightwatcher ones are good and were on some kind of offer in Argos recently. Mine measure in 1/4 lbs - very gratifying

I found that until I got them, I would lie dreadfully to myself. And unless I get them just right, the scales never do.

Shiney - how is the Mel/Dave situation?

Don't think you have Jaquelinehyde Good to meet a fellow SW member! I think I have become a little obsessed with the food optimising. I always get "HOW many syns is that mummy? Are you going to eat that?" etc etc from DD3. She is like my conscience!! I live on free foods as far as is possible and try and not use my syns all the time. I had quite a few today though, but am planning to not have my 15 for the next 3 days! How you finding SW?

Shine - bring me some green and blacks

See you in, what?, an hour or so?

And yes, how is the Mel/Dave thing?

And Jac - how is your tooth?

Does anyone know how the particulars for aborio rice. Was trying to get reaquainted with LF (actually managed to loose weight and trying to put in the risto thingy i had but as i chuck the cardboard packet and store the stuff in a glass jar have no idea what to put in and cant find the aborio rice in there. Please point/kick/shove in right direction.
TIA

lemon frosting body lotion?? Sounds fab, where is it from Shiney?

btw i am just watching BB serious documentries on TV, so kick me if i'm needed for any fun and games dieting advice

Shiney - i waas referring to you lot! There is nothing exciting happening here, unless you count getting the washing in, and taking the bin out!

Shiney - DS2 (nearly 10) would do things like that...

I wondered why the box of tampons kept going down rather quickly... DH discovered where they all where - in our ensuite, there is a vanity unit all the way round so the toilet box is hidden. You lift part of the surface up to get to it and down the sides of it are about 50 tampons all pulled out of the cardboard. He has routed in my stuff and used my waxing strips on his legs and he also used my Elizabeth Arden 8 hour lip balm thingy.

We don't mind about bad examples, us newbies can sit and observe Shiney!

So are the new members going to do the 'initiation'?

(quick think of an initiation)

Does it involve tits?

i am here...

...continue

Yes 'tits' and erm............(thinks hard)......... bumsex!

Your all watching BB arent you?

Thanks sazzles. My speeling is not worth my life

I might have gloated about ds going to bed nicely too soon it appears to be a mildly difficult night. but then again still an improvement cos tonight's bad is what a normal good would have been I have been good according to LF and still have 50 cals available despite the 2 naughty biscuits i have just scoffed eaten. Never realised that free from bickies were soo bad for you 105cals/biscuit -still ate 2 though
