This is our 50000 (or summat like that) thread.

Some of us do wW, some do the Lord Ford and there may even be a little bit of South Beach in here too!

If you have loads or a teeny tiny bit of weight to lose or even if you just want to eat healthy then this could be the thread for you.

Not found any red ones i like but Bitter, how about these sandals? think they are fab!

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 02/06/2010 17:01

Bit glitzy for me Alice, I do love the colour though.

I would Love some red sandals, they would go with my favourite red bag.

Blimey Lizzy, well done! Drink some more water!

It's a lovely day for sitting inside looking at the blue sky. I could do with more shade in the garden really.

Jet, poor Junior, hope it's not the waters.

Well, DS woke up, but then fell back to sleep on me, and I've had a snooze too.

I have done epic fail on buying dinner from Morrisons. I bought breaded chicken fillets, forgetting that DH had chicken last night, and then I've forgotten to buy any oven chips, so no dinner for DH.

bellavita · 02/06/2010 17:19

All the shoes are fab!

Arse and bugger - DH has just opened a letter - he was captured on camera on Monday doing 37 in a 30 limit in Nottingham. It said if it is an area with street lights then it is a 30 limit. He is not a speeder and neither of us were aware of any cameras. The letter says he may be offered a drivers awareness course instead of the points which he will probably do.

Well done on your run Lizzy

I have done a speed awareness course, Bella, it was fine.

Were you ironing in the garden in your bikini?
My svelte supermodelesque neighbour did that a few times before she got a cleaner (about 4x per week ) and had her DD.

I am not a peeping tomasina/nosy neighbour, it was just always when I pulling the curtains in DS2's room, honest!

Lizzylou · 02/06/2010 17:24

Fanny! How are you?
Bet your guests are being spoilt.

I haven't recieved the papers must have got lost in the post

Guests OK, last nights ones had a very loud DD who woke the whole house up at 6.30, tonights are lovely and much quieter.

Have sold my flat, the lovely Tom is starting on Monday, spending time with Yogini and quality time with DD and DS, I do have a mountain of ironing to do this evening but I am going to listen to Edward Fox reading poetry in the most beautiful small church.

So anything happening in MN world I should be aware of?

Lizzylou · 02/06/2010 17:28

SAF, you may just be a bit knackered after your weekend away, does sound a bit exhausting, all those kids, early mornings and late nights.

bellavita · 02/06/2010 17:30

at Lizzy! No, no bikini, just a sundress with the straps down!

I am just a little irked about it Lizzy, especially the £60 whether it be a fine or the cost of the course. Anyhow what's done is done I suppose.

DH would have to go to Nottingham to do the course so it says on his paperwork - but maybe he could find out if there is one locally to us.

That's a bummer Bella... were you gracious and smug supportive after your telling off the other day?

bellavita · 02/06/2010 17:56

Of course Mittz, of course

Alice, she is 13, but a young 13 in a lot of ways. She does follow rules to the letter though (poss aspie) so i know if i leave her with a written list, she will be ok for an hour or so. So far she has been anyway[hmm/

wow, just heard one news - 12 people dead

glad you have had a nice day bitter, and at the adoption papers!

bellavita · 02/06/2010 18:56

thats good she is ok bella, but scary she was so close

i have just suggested on the news thread about maybe doing a collection or something, as i really feel the need to do something? A memorial was suggested? What do you think?

Lizzylou · 02/06/2010 19:09

Blimey, Bella!
Thank Goodness she is OK, can't believe she was so close.

How is Junior, Jet?

jetcat · 02/06/2010 19:11

MuckyDucky · 02/06/2010 19:20

Alice - loading you an in progress view on my fb profile. It is coming there and looks fab from the outside. it has a few birds nests inside though. Not terribly good at the old gathers but it will serve a purpose when done.
