My darling, if you would like to fly to the UK, then I will happily remove Marsy's name from the list.

Diet is NOT good QV I have put back on about 1/2 a stone as I haven't been able to do any exercise for the past month due to busted leg (I am a crap skier)I will return in earnest though in the near future. with exceptions for PIZZA of course.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 04/04/2008 23:50

oh no!!!! Didnt know you'd injured yourself. Half a stone is not much compared to what you've lost in total though - yes?

I have hated Pizza for 8 months now.
I used to love it.
I hope to love it again in 3 weeks and 5 days.

Carmenere · 04/04/2008 23:56

Yes I am now attractively limping around. Nope it is not too much but I want to drop at least two more stone and I will. I have to get back into the right frame of mind iyswim. I will. Making the odd allowance for pizza and a bucket glass of wine.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 04/04/2008 23:58

oh absolutely - treats are very motivational

So you've lost two stone too? Excellent!

Carmenere · 05/04/2008 00:00

Nope, I lost about a stone and a half but have put back on about 1/2 so I need to lose two more now But well done you, I can't wait to see you, it feels great doesn't it?

Mhamai · 05/04/2008 00:02

My name can be barely pronounced never mind shortened, with the exception of the other lovely Irish gals on the thread.

Aitch · 05/04/2008 00:03

isn't it just mammy?

Carmenere · 05/04/2008 00:04

It is a whaummy kind of, actually it is difficult to translate.

Mhamai · 05/04/2008 00:04

There is something grammatically wrong with that last post but I'm too lazy tired to change it.

Aitch · 05/04/2008 00:05

sounds like mh is pronounced same as in scots gaelic

Mhamai · 05/04/2008 00:05

Yes in English Aitch but ............ah there's a point I'm trying to make but it won't come out.

Mhamai · 05/04/2008 00:07

Some will pronounce it Vommy, some Wommy. I think there is something about the tense.....my brain is starting to hurt.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 05/04/2008 00:07

You mightnt notice tooo much of a difference carmenere because I suspect i'd put on quite a few pounds since I saw you last anyway.......
