Don't be shy, just jump in & join us for an all new you in 2010!

*I printed out an award, decorated it with uncooked pasta & glitter & stuck it on the fridge

Norma - All episodes of Glee are on 4OD at the moment. Really funny and easy to watch.

Shiney - brush your teeth then you won't fancy anything else to eat.

A friend of mine is a big girl, tall, broad and stunning. She is currently morbidly obese. She has no children, is in her early 20's, smokes a lot, drinks more than she should and eats constantly. She is always claiming she struggles to lose weight but never does anything about it. What would you advise her to do? Think about that advice and try to apply it to yourself, sometimes that can be the only way to stop a cycle of behaviour (iyswim?) If you think i talk a load of rubbish, please ignore, it is late

Night Norma!

Night Norma.

I am going to bed too - I have to be up at 6.00 am tomorrow.

Shiney, put everything naughty in the bin. Sprinkle bleach over it so you aren't tempted to remove. Forget today's consumption, commence again tomorrow.

I am cross and stroppy. Am sniping angrily at DH who keeps saying, "what's the matter with you?"

WTF do you think you cretin. (And he does know because I pointed it out to him yesterday. But apparently I should be over that because that was yesterday ). He doesn't sell himself at moments like this.

OMG, just watched part 1 of the university one of Silent Witness

Going to bed now - hope I don't have nightmares! Also hope girls go to bed well again tomorrow so we can see the rest.

Back from picking up DH after the gig, and miraculously, DS is asleep in his own cot after a quick top up. Going to quickly go to bed and try to catch some zzzs while it lasts.

New carpet on the stairs/landing tomorrow, and new vinyl in the toilet/bathroom! It's been a month since our leaky pipe started it all, hoping we come out of it with a slightly better looking house.

Agree with BOF though, once you paint one thing, everything else looks dingy. We painted all the doorframes and skirting boards upstairs while the flooring was pulled up, and it's made the wallpaper look very grim. Don't have the proper equipment to paint the stairway walls and ceiling though, will have to wait until we can a) afford a cool ladder or b) afford to pay someone with a cool ladder to do it.

Jet, glad you got your money back, please do badger them mercilessly about the charges as well.

Morning - just leaving for work. Have a lovely day folks.

Oooh thanks DEM - cup of coffee duly made.

Hope everyone is ok today

Shiney, new day today eh!

Morning shining ones.

Feel much better this morning. DH apologised when we went to bed. I have PMT which doesn't help, I don't get it every month but when I do, oh boy. Weight not changed this week either

Cheered myself up by buying a fascinator for the wedding online five minutes ago. Next day delivery so will be here on time, had no time to get to Bath/Bristol this week. Don't care if you say fascinators are pre 2005. I've never had one before, I liked it. This is not style and beauty. So ner.

I am sure you will look gorgeous Georgi. Am glad DH apologised to you. Please don't be despondent about the weight

Oh, and something for you to ponder on - if you were wearing a plum coloured dress, a cream fake fur bolero and a cream/ivory fascinator with light gold shoes (OK, overlook for the moment the fact that you probably wouldn't) - what colour tights? Help! I am veering towards opaques of some colour/pattern rather than 15 denier here, because it is going to be freezing apart from anything else.

bella you're very soothing. You're not a hostage negotiator by profession by any chance?

Morning all, thanks for the cuppa, DEM

dysheowbandlma yiwbskaldb - that is my reply to Mini-Yank, no doubt you will be on the G&T threads very soon, Yank, a prodigy!

Flam, well done you! I don't think you are superwoman for Home Edding, I think you are superwoman for even contemplating it! Take the praise chuck!

Found a great site about Space and stuff which kept both boys very entertained yesterday, Here They liked the games best, but the hangman was great for DS1.

Georgi, glad you are feeling better today. I have no idea about style, sorry. Perhaps plum opaques? Its not my forte though, sorry.

Jet, glad bank almost sorted.

Shiney, yep, Mycat is v right, you need to get some variation in your diet to stop you getting bored. WW do loads of snacky and read meal type stuff which should help.

Gym this afternoon, my thigh is still a bit twingey but not like at the weekend, will see how I go.

HOpe you have a better day, Sazz.

Georgi, my weight goes up when I am expecting AF, you'll have a good loss next week now.

Morning all.

Am giving blood today - how many calories in a pint of blood, d'ya reckon?

About 5000 I think, DIB
Enough for a pizza and a bottle of plonk.

We always used to get v drunk after giving blood as students, very cheaply

Another 3lbs off this week The scales offered between 3 & 4lbs loss but I went with the 3, means next weeks loss will look better

Morning all,

Ooo DIB - gotta lose at least 1lb giving blood

Georgi I like fascinators, I wore one to my friends wedding last August!

Cheers for the tea DEM

Yay, Norma! Well done you

Alice, hope you are feeling OK today.

Wasting, do you dance round madly in the hope of burning some calories too, then? Glad it's not just me

Just been working out my total weight loss & I was wrong last week, I'd actually lost 27lbs in total not 25lbs so that means with this weeks weight loss I've lost 30lbs so far

Lizzy I do that with DD - we bung on a music channel & do silly dances gotta burn some calories!

DH keeps telling me I'll lose even more weight if I go on top more Not sure if I believe him or not

Norma
I have suggested that position if I have not done much exercise myself

30lbs is FAB! You must be feeling so happy with yourself right now, good for you.

Morning.

Well done on the loss Norma

We had takeaway last night, but it was tasty adn I don't regret it. DP is going to finish off the rest for lunch.

I am sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy though. Must go to work.

Excellent, now all I need to do is give blood every day for a month and I'll have lost as much as Norma

Has anyone actually given any thought as to who they will vote for this election? I like to think of myself as fairly clued up , but am stumped. Am rather concerned I will be swung by biscuit choices rather than policies .
