See The Shiney Cult, Feel The Shine........

[bellavita]

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.

We're doing it because we want to buy a new sofa for the conservatory and thought we would try really hard to get the money for it rather than buy it on the credit card (we're a bit skint tight).

Still sodding boring though.

In fact, it is so boring that I am going to watch Pacific with DH instead...

Well I got told off tonight MyCat for my spending!

I always intend to, but then the piles sit unattended for months until DH gives them to the first charity bag that comes through the door.

Nope, Pacific is in fact even more boring than ebay.

bella, I'm often given a look and telling off (hence the ebaying tonight). Such is life. Sell some of your clothes. It is worth doing really and you can get some brownie points with DH too

DIB, that's what I normally end up doing too, but we're selling highchairs and baby bouncing chairs and such like so a bit tougher to just dispose of.

OK - I am now going to list the stair gate - joy!

ULQ - BED!

needed to help pack car and diverted for toast and pate

I am Mittz,

Don't believe anything this lot tell you, they are all compulsive liars..

Bella... I have your sleepover angst. DS is 12 and has a 'girlfriend'. I confiscated his phone today as he was an arse unreasonable, but it rang and was his GF. I noticed loads of txts, which I don't read but she was obviously getting stressy so I pulled one up to hit 'reply'...

she is 11 and was asking him when and if he wanted her to sleep with him and that she 'wanted' to. I think he is dead smart and has always come across as actually caring about the girls he mixes with, but what do I do?Sorry, big post when I haven't caught up. I just found it and am in shock.

Bella... at being told off...

Wasting.. I don't want to tempt fate, but the exhibition was a very good launch for getting my Ass into gear. I may have sold a major painting.

Quarks.. take care, maybe get some sleep, and I am sorry it is so tough..I feel your 'pain'

I would probably send a txt saying
"This is ds' mum. sorry ds is not able to respond to your txts at the moment as I am borrowing his phone. I would like to remind you that underage sex is illegal."

Then again mitts - thought your ass had nothing to do with this exhibition. Are you trying to tell us other wise

Ex is packed car wise, ds is asleep and calmer for emotional release. Ex'sP are less upset. situation is calmer. I have been given permission to reek havock on the weed population. Hopefully, will escape to caravan thursday night or friday morning.

He fell asleep ID, so will talk in the morning, we have a good relationship so not too worried but so sad that she has said it.

Quarks.... not sure my bum is worth as much as my painting TBH!!

Take it easy.. I don't think my week will be simple now.... we will catch up soon.

I am going to bed. DD is up and is nagging me so must go..... but she is awfully gorgeous..

G'night all xx

Mittz - no wonder you are in shock, blimey. DS1 does go red at the mention of any girls but when they are all together and say play truth or dare or games and all egg each other on... I didn't have mixed sleep overs ever but I did play those sort of games . Luckily, I didn't get into any trouble and was mainly sensible.

I think maybe you need to speak to the girls mum?

Oh, my new House number sign is on my profile.. I am quite chuffed with it

Mittz, that's shocking from an 11yr old girl, and somewhat appalling. I think I would speak to your DS about it if I were you. Not sure what I would say though, remind him that they are way way underage maybe? That is a really tough one. I amboth and

Yes Bella....I do need to speak to her. My DS might (hopefully) have principles but another boy might not

Hello, do love a shiney new thread.
Feeling your pain Mitts and just glad that my DS is going to live at home with me forever and will never have a girlfriend (or boyfriend)
I think the girl in question's parents should hear about this (unless it was obviously a "joke") - my teachery head is muttering child protection issue.

Off to bed. Love the door sign. Would make the postman happy every day

I love the tattoo Mittz. The new door number is fab

Right, I am off to bed. Need to be up fairly early to take the boys into town for their haircutting tomorrow.

Night all xx

hello - I'm Hells, I am going to lose 5 lbs this week...by South Beach phase 1 or by going hardcore and doing the Dukan (crazy - protein only) diet. My breath will stink.

Mittz that is really so very sad. Totally agree that a chat with DS is in order. Do you know her Mum?

Mittz Good luck talking to the girl's mum.

I am Yank. I've gained 3lbs this week which is no surprise since I've not been counting points and been eating out far too much.

Have been down today, all this shit with XH is dredging up a lot of stuff I thought I was over.

Going to bed, see you all tomorrow evening (I never seem to have any time before work!)

night Bella...I better go too.
