Mmm islands in the sun Grin

I went to bed at 9pm last night and DS2 didn't wake up until 7.30am! I feel more human than I have done in about a year!!!

Have a fabulous holiday Niecie Grin We never go anywhere without a laptop anymore, saddle that we are. It is what comes of working in IT Grin

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 06/08/2011 08:02

Saddle? Saddos!

MuffinsMummy · 06/08/2011 08:39

Niecie so your down in my neck of the woods for your holiday. Have you got plans to go or do anything nice?

Solo glad you have found a nice dress. Will there be profile pics?

I went out last night but it was such a hectic day yesterday I had hardly eaten so we ended up going into bella italia at 10.30 and sharing bread with a dip and a pizza. I think we were home by 12.30 which isn't like us it's normally closer to 4 Grin

Today I am going to have breakfast and then clean/tidy my house! How do people keep their houses so tidy with such little effort?! I will do a mammoth tidy then the next day it's like a bomb went off.

ppeatfruit · 06/08/2011 10:15

Thanks solo Smile i'm glad you have at last found a nice comfortable dress! IMO comfort is one of the most important things in clothes even posh ones!! As you say about linen i'm lucky not ever to have had rubby thighs IFYSWIM. Have a REALLY great time at your ball!!

I'm off to london tomorrow to cat sit in D2's new flat ,she may have left her laptop, if not I'll be off line for a week at least! (I can't be arsed with the cafe's) also when I tried use DD1's computer in her office it wouldn't let me. When i got back home mine said "someone" had been trying to hack into my emails!! Duh it was me with the correct password etc.

Perhaps you could explain that Ali being as you're in I.T.! It's good to have a lovely night's sleep ain't it?

MM IMO the people with tidy houses are ALL tidy!! DH doesn't recognise cupboards as places to PUT things!! He always thinks stuff is lost if it's not in front of him!!

Bon Vacances to all who are going away!!(smile) and all on 'staycations' See you in a week or so!!

PositiveAttitude · 06/08/2011 18:46

Have a good evening Solo. Smile

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 06/08/2011 20:07

Have been Pauling again for 1 week, and so far its going brilliantly x

PositiveAttitude · 06/08/2011 21:22

Well done HowTo. Good to see you back on here and back on track. I have only been back for a couple of days, but am finding it harder to get back on track than I had hoped I would.

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 07/08/2011 10:31

Ive tried a few times PA, but this is the frist time in ages that its "clicked", so I feel thats me back now. Im back to fidning it easy & effortless, whereas my other attempts to get back on felt like hard work! Weird, ismt it?

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 07/08/2011 21:25

Shock where is everyobody?

TheOriginalFAB · 07/08/2011 21:31

I am here but I don't know how well I am doing as I have been listening to the PM I can ment your broken heart CD since Friday. Listening to the ICMUT one tonight though.

TheOriginalFAB · 07/08/2011 21:32

mend not ment.

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 07/08/2011 21:57

:( That doesnt sound like a happy post. Hope everything is ok, I dpnt know your back-story.

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 07/08/2011 22:07

I'm here :)

Just BFing so one-handed, back soon Grin

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 07/08/2011 22:09

I remember cooking dinner while BFing once .....

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 07/08/2011 22:37

Aye it is an art form, BFing while completing other tasks Grin

I've had a lovely weekend, not so much Pauling though.... Back to it tomorrow.

I have to say though, that even the days when I think 'oh to hell with it' are really only like every day used to be before. I physically cannot eat until I am that horribly over-full/sicky/stuffed feeling any longer.

Niecie · 08/08/2011 00:45

Well, we did take the laptop on holiday and I have only one thing to say on the subject

Full length/width wall mirror in the bathroom. ShockShockShock

I may never eat again...... or I might just wee/wash/bath/shower with my eyes shut.Wink

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 08/08/2011 07:44

Perfect for the mirror exercise though! You can tick that box everyday Grin

MuffinsMummy · 08/08/2011 09:50

Morning all :)

ppeatefruit it is just me and my 3 DDs living here and I don't think any of them have a tidy bone in their bodies! I will let DD3 off as she isn't 1 yet Grin

Welcome back howto good to see you are doing well.

solo did you have a good evening?

I went shopping on Friday for new underwear normally I'm a 34B which isnt great but ok. I tried on a bra in debenhams and it looked awful! All fat bits hanging out everywhere! I had to try on 36 bloody A! DD3 has made my boobs no existent!

Do the mirror exercises really work? I just feel a bit silly doing them!

PositiveAttitude · 08/08/2011 10:14

Morning everyone.

Really happy this morning. Grin Stepped on the scales and I have lost the holiday 2lb plus another one - just over the weekend!!! Grin - Normally I weigh every fortnight, so don't flame me, i only stood on them on Friday because of the holiday. Only another 4lb now to my next big target!! Grin

One thing I have noticed is this: You know during the CD when Paul tells you to think of yourself slim, make the colours bright, think about how you feel etc. Well, I have always imagined myself wearing a certain outfit that I have, but in my thoughts its a lot smaller. Anyway, I have noticed that whenever I wear that outfit I feel slimmer and I feel good. (I have also had very positive comments, too) So, I am now choosing a different outfit each time I do the CD, to go through my wardrobe and see if I get the same effect.
Am I totally insane, or has anyone noticed something like this??

Solo · 08/08/2011 11:28

Good morning! you all sound so bright!!! :)

I have had a great weekend, but a very tiring one. It took us 4hr 30mins to do the M25, go round the M25 because of closures then get back onto M25. So we started at junction 2 and got off at 7 and back on at 9...we set off at about 10am, so should've had a really comfortable drive down HA! we got there at 18.35 and pre dinner drinks were at 18.00, dining room at 18.55. We'd had our hair done at 9am, so were like mad things trying to get make up, jewelry and clothes and heels on!!! our cabin looked like a teen girls room, it was so funny!! but we were ready and behind our chairs before the speeches began! and we looked gorgeous too! so glad we had our hair done first Grin, we both had French pleats, friend had a slightly funkier one as her hair is longer than mine and we had sparkly accessories put in at the back which you wont see in the pics. In real life, mine was very Audrey Hepburn!

Solo · 08/08/2011 11:30

Meant to say it took us 15 minutes to get ready!!! unheard of normally! Blush so just goes to show...

OP posts:
Solo · 08/08/2011 11:32

And they hadn't started eating, so wev only missed pre dinner drinks...sorry, I'll get it all written out in a bit and then shut up Grin

OP posts:
HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 08/08/2011 12:28

Wow, your hair sounds amazing! I love the Hepburn do. Hope you had a fab time!

Im doing fine today, may have eaten a slice of cake that was too big for my appetite, but hey-ho! Im not stuffed, just fuller than usual.

Have to take my DS for his preschool jabs, not looking forward to this :( I am not going to console either of us with food though (like I usually would) - DS will get a small toy for being brave.

Solo · 09/08/2011 12:35

I've put pics on. If you can only see one, let me know and I'll add you to my 'mates' list so you can see (you might already be on there of course!).

We're very quiet atm aren't we?!

PositiveAttitude · 09/08/2011 15:21

Very glam photos Solo. You looked amazing. Smile

Hope the jabs went ok Howto
