Welcome all- old and new- this is our fifty-something Healthy Eating thread, where we chat, support each other's ascent into vibrant slinkiness full of bright eyes and glorious glowing skin etc etc...

Post as much as you can, and you'll be sure to catch the gossip and the gamut of human emotion that make up the Shiney threads. They have grown from one woman's noble quest to ditch curly-wurlies for breakfast into a veritable Mumsnet phenomenon,which has actually seen some of us lose rather a lot of weight and get much healthier...

Not me- I am still trying to get there, and have a permanent cold, but hey, let's not split hairs: there are other regulars who are a positive inspiration! So jump in and find us again, or join us anew, and follow whatever approach suits you.

oops sorry that link gives you all of them, its the 6th one down, the white one

TrillianAstra · 21/03/2010 16:40

Good thing it's your car and not mine then

BethAndHerBrood · 21/03/2010 16:42

The inside of the mini is really nice, isn't it? I've never seen inside one. I don't think I know anyone with a mini. Much better choice than a fiesta - I drove one when my car went in the garage, it was awful! Mind you, that may be because it was so different to mine

Good choice, when do you get it?

VinegarPatronSTofTits · 21/03/2010 16:45

The picture doesnt do it justice, the white is soooo gorgeous, i fell in love with the colour when i went to see the other one that had been sold, told the salesman i was gutted and wanted another white one, and voila, he came up trumps for me

MitsubishiWarrioress · 21/03/2010 16:47

Vinny that is lush, absolutely lush..I feel strangely emotional after all the car angst you have been through.. shall we do a 'new car' shower?

TrillianAstra · 21/03/2010 16:47

Does he fancy you Vinny? Is he a nice salesman with lovely blue eyes?

VinegarPatronSTofTits · 21/03/2010 16:48

Not sure when i will pick it up Beth, he is sorting the finance tomorrow, then they will service and valet it before i get it, so hopefully i will have it next weekend

And i wont be letting my xfil anywhere near it!

Mitts you big softie, i actually had a little cry last night because i love my mini so much but know that it time for it to go, i think i posted about loving it when i was drunk tired

Trills the salesman was a lovely young man, just a tad far too young for me, saying that the guy at the Ford garage nearly fell of his chair when i bought ds1 to look at the fiesta last night, he was like no way is he your son! so maybe the mini salesman thought i was younger

Goober · 21/03/2010 16:55

Ooooh, nice car Tits. What a girlie thing to ask; "What colour?"

Am cooking a chicken and roasties for those that can eat them. I will have chicken a baked sweet potatoe, carrots, cabbage and a yogurt NOT the pissing very lovely treacle pudding I am making them!! Hmmmph!

MitsubishiWarrioress · 21/03/2010 16:58

It is for sure a girly question Goober...but I do know what a wankel engine is as well

hellsbelles · 21/03/2010 16:58

I bet it was your shiny hair that did it Vinny . I love the car. Totally.

Has he offered to come over and show you how everything works

Can everyone stop talking about McD's?? I get a desperate urge for an egg mcmuffin. Why or why.

Mitts - your Mum sounds lovely. Being poorly is most certainly when you want your Mum.

TrillianAstra · 21/03/2010 17:03

What's your treacle pudding Goobs? We have a recipe thread for diet and non-diet recipes

MitsubishiWarrioress · 21/03/2010 17:03

I have only ever had 1 McD's whenI was 17...

bellavita · 21/03/2010 17:10

Vin - the car is just the business. It looks faberooney! He was sure to fancy you cos you are bloody gorgeous. I am excited for you...

Alas Mitts, no yorkies today! I did them last week with toads.

DH and DS1 are having roasties and DS2 and myself are having mash. I lurve mash.

You may have done Shiney

Poppysmic · 21/03/2010 17:23

Hello everyone! I think you have filled up several threads which I have totally missed, I officially can't keep up.

I am trying to read through and see what everyone is doing, but it gets confusing...I can't remember who did what and what has happened.

All I really know is that Vinny wants a car following some spectacular mechanastiness probably a few threads back.

Anyway. I have been trying to stick to it, especially the exercise, and have lost 4 pounds so far.
Not been good this weekend though, pizza yesterday and roast with wine today, but have still done an hour on the bike each day so I guess better than it was.

Hope everyone is well

YanknCock · 21/03/2010 17:25

DS is STILL napping! Poor little guy, he is really not well.

Poppysmic · 21/03/2010 17:26

Oh bum, see, now Vinny has a car.

That's great, minis are fab.

MitsubishiWarrioress · 21/03/2010 17:30

Poor DS yank..... I ahte it when they are that ill...

Hello poppys...

bellavita · 21/03/2010 17:34
VinegarPatronSTofTits · 21/03/2010 17:35

oh no Yank, poor little thing, whats up with him?

TotalChaos · 21/03/2010 17:40

DEM I'm a newbie, I have been on MN for nearly 6 years, originally as mummytosteven. I mainly post on SN these days, with the odd foray into dieting/books/style/aibu/education.

afternoon ladies, glad to see the end is in sight to your car woes VT, and that you managed to get a good discount on a mini.

Your new car looks fab, Vinny.

My Dad always used to have white cars - he drives a lot, and reckoned that if you are on the motorway in fairly congested traffic, cars tend to pull over thinking you are police.

Lovely day today - went to the farm in the morning and the park in the afternoon. Also made fairy cakes and I didn't eat any. Oh, and we did painting. Now I am knackered.

DreamsInBinary · 21/03/2010 18:29

Cinzano! God, I used to drink that like it was going out of fashion...which, I suppose, it was...
