Making hay while the sun SHINEs

[YanknCock]

Welcome to the shiney thread.

Cock and cake, ladies, that's what it's about.

I'm Yank, I've lost 1st 4lbs since starting here. Re-introduce yourselves at your leisure!

now where is our fearless leader?

Righty ho ladies, I'm off to work.

Catch you later, wish me luck.

Doesn't have pips in, it is blackcurrant Would you prefer honey? Or nutella?

Really must get on now, have little things that need doing.

Alice - Mitz is just acting demurely as she feels embarressed about opening an exhibit of her sore bottom yesterday

30 weeks is fab! Well done. We used to celebrate each extra week (as each one does make such a huge difference)...

Trills - I hope you are feeling better. How rubbish to feel poorly on your birthday weekend.

Lizzy ...I keep telling myself that as DD gets bigger lie ins will happen one day...but that doesn't seem to be the case in the Lou household!! Poor you.

I'm feel very lardy today. I'm seriously tempted to do this hardcore diet thingy - I don't want to roll turn up on the 12th busting out of all my clothes.

VInny have fun.

Waves at Wasting, Bitter and double (and anyone else who is awake!)

Morning. So lovely to have an extra day off work.

Waitrose are coming in a bit with some food, so I should probably get dressed.

Hells the coast dress is lovely but I don't think it's really suitable for a night on the town If DH wants to you wear something ankle-length then you must join me in wearing a maxi dress!

Hells, I don't know what is going on with DS2, he is now complaining about being tired.

They are having some toast and then I will get them circuit training on the field.

DH is worried about June, but not about what I'll wear, more about the fact you could all be axe weilding wierdos
I've said that you are non-violent wierdos so he is hapy enough now.

Helles - are you still doing the south beach diet? Is there any way to go back to kick start it again? Because it seems to work for you doesn't it? I would be wary of starting something new and a bit hardcore as you are not sure quite how your body will cope iyswim?
I keep meaning to ask if you got a card from me? I wasn't sure i got the address right I wore the knitted dress the other day (stupidly my bump seems to have shrunk so now back mostly in normal clothes - actually think it has dropped a bit) anyway, and DH and my friend were asking me what i was so dressed up for I absolutely love it.

Oh Alice I kept meaning to say thank you for the lovely card. I got it on Thurs (as it went to the office and I wasn't in till then)...then work got in the way and my brain forgot!

But it has pride of place on my desk - so lovely to get a card. I'm so glad you are enjoying the dress...I knew it would suit you

You are probably right about the diet...but DH has done this one (sort of) for just a week and has already lost 8lbs. But as you so rightly say the South Beach is one I know and it's healthy. Urghh.

Lizzy - ha ha...my DH is a little worried about that as well! I did the same reassurance...

Trills - it may well be a maxi dress...! How long have we got to get something? Urghh...how the heck am I going to sort something by till then? Better start internet shopping.

Helles - i was worried it hadn't got to you that was all and i didn't want you thinking i was ungrateful (because i love love love the clothes - brightened up a very bad week)

You are way up there as a stylista

Have you got sun Double?

I have just eaten a timeout

I like mowing ID. Instantly makes a garden look tidier. It is about 27 on my list of things to do.

I am exhibiting my arse art work again today though so will float gracefully.

I have missed 2 Kboxing sessions and ate badly when I had my 'crisis' so have put a few more pounds on.

When does every body weigh themselves after/around a period when bloating and water retention are not an issue?

well done on 30 weeks Alice - not long now

Diet starts big time today Am fed up of not losing anything, so am making a concerted effort now! And back on the treadmill running and shredding, after not doing anything in case i messed up my new hair

It is 'supposed' to be sunny here, with cloudy moments. It has been drizzling since i got up (and probably all night tbh)

Have fun shopping

Jet at messing up hair

Right Jet.. you sound positive . Will you give me a motivating kick up the rear please.. (but don't bruise it, I have had a call from Saatchi and Saatchi!)

Ladies, i am back , 7hrs pool instruction and 8hrs classroom and i am . Apparently could take 5 years for me to really swim like a fish

Only skimmed, but yay for Jet/Yank meetup and lovely dresses, hurrah to Alice for 30 weeks and yum for Mouses's garden (i will come scrumping later in the season )

A special good luck to Mitts & your exhibition, hope you get to sell lots

Hey Crispy...

I saw your post about camping.. I can;t stretch to that this year after DC's school trips and Manchester for me, but would love to at some point in the future if it is possible and thanks for the thought.

Wow at the swimming.... that sounds both gruelling and rewarding.

Anyone want to help me eat the most enormous ham? I asked Waitrose for 1kilo and they sent me a 2kilo one.

Am being domestic goddess today - making red onion jam/chutney/marmalade/conserve/stuff and cooking the giant ham.

lob me a hunk then Trills..

Vehry vehry goddessy there lady.. were you inspired by the clean fridge?

Mitz - you got a call from Saatchi???? Seriously?

Mittz I think it is the new meds kicking in Why do you feel you need a kick up the read? you sound like you are doing so well - esp the exhibition

Trills, i do like a bit of nice ham nd chutneys - chutney doesnt have any fat in does it? I have a load of jars and am desparate to make something to fill them!

Happy shopping double
