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.

[MitsubishiWarrioress]

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...

not the nice smelling guy? work politics are crap vinny. can really drag ya down. this weather is crap. Need to get in garden this week but dont think that it is going to happen.

morning all, Vinny - here's a and a hug - I'm afraid I am a bit of a hugger. I blame it on my Sicilian roots (so not only am I over effusive...but 'don't you dare cross me' )

Today my whole house stinks of poo. I don't quite know why DD's poo has such a lingering smell quality...but it's a very special talent - not sure how useful she'll find it in later life.

I'm going to be extremely strict foodwise this week...my weekend of gluttony has made me put on 2 lbs??!?!? I'm hoping it's something to do with PMT...but more likely all the cakes.

TW - well done on the smoking...that's really great.

i think the crap weather brings everyone down Vinny

Good morning all.
Sorry people are feeling down although Mits you sound brighter today.

TW yay to the non smoking.

Half term here to. Have been out with DD and bought her some riding boots, bargain at £15 and we are just going out for a daog walk and going to take her bike with us.

Wotcha healthy types.

Now pipe down a bit, I'm trying to catch up. Blimey you lot can gab. I'm tempted to ctrl+f 'cock' to find the juicy bits.

Will be back when I've caught up, just marking my place.

Don't put juicy and cock in the same sentence ever again. It's put me off eating though, so it has its benefits.

Right, reading...

Hope everything is OK Vinny, feel free to share if you want thats what we are here for, and your shitty bits are no less worthy than everyone elses shitty bits

Bella yep it was the earings I was after, damn you how did you guess seriously though can I?

OK really seriously I don't want anything from you, but I would like you to keep something from me.

I shall explain...My student money next comes through at the begining of April then not again until September. So if by April I have decided to come to Manchester I will need to take the money out of that installment of student money.

I can buy train tickets then and book/pay for my room, but I am still left with having to save spending money.

This is where you come in, would you be willing to hold on to my spending money for me, I could paypal it to you, or transfer it into your account from mine. It would probably be £100-£150, and then you could just give it to me when we meet of transfer it back to my account a day or so before the meet.

I know this could be a real pain for you, but I would really appreciate it. Feel free to say no, and don't think you have to reply on here either. You can text or FB me.

Sorry for the mahoosive message!

Hey SOH, nice to see you again.

Jac, that sounds a grand plan, I'd offer, but it would be spent within the day, am spending like mad at the moment

Off to spin class tonight, do I do 2 classes, or just 1, or 1 and then some gym?

Will see how I feel I think, am always full of big plans that never work out (have you noticed??)

Vinny, hope your day gets better, am v pleased I don't work in my old place, was a nightmare for politics/bitching, used to send me bonkers.

DIB, sorry you didn't get much sleep.

Right back to it, have been v productive so far today.

morning all, ds in one of those 'won't be put down' moods so one handed again.

oh its afternoon isnt it

got to write to line manager before end of today, please yell at me to do it.

big news here, am booked to go to the usa to see my family in april! we've put it on credit card (bad) but since am going back to work early i feel i deserve it and am so desperate for ds to meet my dad, brother and grandma. ds will be 7.5 months when we go.

will come back later when have that letter posted and i have two hands

I noticed, but figured you were off chatting to everyone you have ever net on FB!

Shiney - it's been less than 24 hours! No search parties sent out until after the day. It's the rules.

Was your trip to get Ted a long one?

A day. After a day.

I've been reading the MN haikus and they are ace. Some poignant, some funny.

I like a haiku anyway - nice and structured

Oh Bella - how disappointing. I think you must be right about why she lied. But glad you got some nice stuff anyway -
sounds like you must be looking very lovely with these new things.

Shiney - we did miss you (but quietly - without shouting about it ) I thought you were working to be honest.

Yank great news on your holiday now get on with that letter But with my sensible head on - won't you have to face miserable looks from your horrible boss if you go away so soon after you get back? Or are you starting back at work after you get back from hols?

Lizzy - meant to say the other day - good tip on the going to bed early! BOF - I suggested he take over the household stuff and how exciting I would find that. But he just laughed

Oooh a holiday Yank, how exciting.

Hells, I would never ever have gone looking for the jacket at that price. I rang DH whilst on the bus back and said what had happened, but unfortunately he did not make any positive noises..... like ummm get back into town and go get the jacket before anyone else does! Actually, I am meeting said colleague tomorrow, we are dropping the DC's off at Waterworld and we are going for a coffee, but I won't mention it to her.

I have got loads to do, but cannot be arsed to do it. Crap weather here.

Shiney, stay away from the mini eggs!

oh shame about the coat Bella

Do you still want to sex me up Shiney?

I just want you all to know that I don't buy clothes and shoes/boots all the time.... I just seem to have a run on things then will buy nothing for ages and ages

at Shiney and Vinny

I missed you shiney even though I wasn't here...I figured you were either busy with Taya or Ummmm....something else

I am OKer than I was. I think I need to prepare myself a little for what to expect. And maybe try harder in RL to get support from friends as I still try really hard to make out I am doing just fine when I really am not.

That's a shame about the jacket Bella... Sounds like she was lying to herself as well...

I have just spent an hour with a Money Expert adviser as I have lost the knack of being good with money. So I am trying to do a financial plan.

It's ok Bella, i told her she not my type (in reply to her text, wanting to sex me up) i think it might have been meant for her plummer

Hullo, on holiday today and DS off to nursery so am listening to the sound of silence at the moment - lovely!
It will just be me and the Sky engineer this afternoon.. It's funny how things break down one month after your warranty expires.
It's raining here.
