Shiney once started a thread, with Ladies who wanted to turn heads, They ripped off their girdles, and jumped badforyou hurdles, Now they are gorgeous, it has to be said.

So, come and join us in the Shiney corner;

for Lively banter, fabulous company, healthy eating support and advice,......

Well, just jump in and find out for yourselves...

goober - peanut butter cookies

Yank - it depends on how pissed i am if i let you hug me

Food, Goober, or have you killed someone?
Yankn I burnt half of them or I would have eaten put away in biscuit tin even more of them.

jet, if I am pissed, you may not have much of a say in the matter

I'm in Warrington, so probably a bit far for a Teeside meetup unless we meet in the middle somewhere.....

have been watching take me out

duck was lovely, stuffed now, also had 2 large glasses of wine, ready for my bed

love the boots yank

We should just run into the station/shop/bar and immediately have massive tellytubby style group hug. Gets it out of the way and we can move on.

Hello all

Been to PILs for dinner after work, with BIL and SIL and scrummy nephew.

Was nice and I chose my food wisely, until the chocolates
Oh and red wine.

Bella, wise choice on going for an i-phone (have no view really on i-phones or cars, but an i-phone sounds more useful and stylish0

Trills, dinner sounds delish and I think I may be ordering a corset. But have just measured my waist and I think I may wait a while yet!

Alice, I would have given you a supportive smile. I have had some horrendous public tantrums from both of mine (sometimes both together, great for the judgypants to judge away on those), as my DH says so beautifully, fuck em in the ear!

Yank, sounds like you've had a lovely day. Love your boots. I fany Paddy Mcguinness, there, I've said it. Have done since he was in Phoenix Nights, though he has aged a bit now.

Vinny, be around in 30 mins for some Limoncello, it's bloody good stuff.

Iggi, what the fricking frick are Nobbly Bobblies?
They sound very interesting! [Grin]

DEM, thought you were in derbyshire?

Warrington is very near me, and mine and bofs spiritual home (Ikea) is there

i played that game with the genie, he got mine wrong 3 times, dumbo

No cookies here.

Only one slip up for me today.

I will now have a cuppatea and stop thinking about KFC and Toblerone.

a nobbily bobbily is a lolly ice round these here parts

Nobbly bobblies are ice lollies with chocolate on the outside and sprinkles?

'tis indeed. Covered with wee nobbly bits, like hundreds and thousands. And an essential part of the WW diet.
Think am so pessimistic about how I'll look on Friday (w.dress fitting) that I can't be bothered trying to be good.

hee hee hee jet I had to google where Teeside was!

VT, you let me know next time you go to Ikea, ok? I would go for a hot dog. And some stuff I don't need.

when i was a kid, my mum worked in a lolly ice factory, we had a freezer full of ice cream, choc ices and lolly ices all year round wonderful memories

iggi, you will be a happy bride, and a happy bride is a beautiful bride! I was huge at both my weddings, and I was friggin' gorgeous anyway.

Nobblybobbly is similar to a FAB, yes?

I want to hug Shiney. Don't care much if she doesn't like it.

Lizzy my waist measurement was not as I beleive it to be, but I ordered the size 10 corset anyway (you can tell it's not a proper posh one if it comes in dress sizes) cos that's what I wear. No idea if it is outerwear or underwear, like the idea that I might wear it with jeans and be massively cool.

will do Yank, i go there for the swedish balls om nom nom

Iggi I am sure you will look gorgeous.

Iggi - if you are not happy with how you look then eating more will not help that

Good luck with the fitting - can you sneak some pictures?

DH is on MN. He registered ages ago before we had baby, posted a bit and hadn't for awhile. That Take Me Out thread lured him back.....

Like a feast lolly

Stop eating Iggi! I was not bothered at all about wearing my wedding dress, really worried about people looking at me etc, now I would kill to do it all again...........

Thanks all!

jet - was just thinking - impluse means less time to panic - which is sometimes good.

Lizzy- I am not in derbsyhire, just in cheshire but close enough to manchester. THink one of the discussion we had a little back about local rivalaries and you might be able to stick a pin in a map.

It only take about 2 1/2 hours to get to york so reckon it would be about a 3 hour drive and do able as a bit of a road trip. An hour to A1, then straight up... still sounds like fun.
