New thread with added arse kicking

Could probably get time off then

JackieNo · 25/07/2007 16:53

Don't have any plans for August so far, so yes - Fridays fine, also probably 14/15.

Glad everyone had good holidays or is looking forward to them.

I guess WigWamBam might be in the hotel with her MIL. Hope it's all going OK, if that's the case, WWB.

TigerFeet · 25/07/2007 20:56

WWB's been on Facebook today so hopefully all is well.

Any other MoFo's on Facebook?

JackieNo · 25/07/2007 21:02

No, sorry - I don't really 'get' it. Happy just to stay with MN (unless everyone's going to desert it -surely not?).

TigerFeet · 25/07/2007 21:05

leave mn???

I think not

the very idea

JackieNo · 25/07/2007 21:06

Phew! Thank goodness. I'd be lost without you lot.

TigerFeet · 25/07/2007 21:29

no need to panic

JackieNo · 25/07/2007 21:35

Thank you

(obviously)

Kewcumber · 25/07/2007 21:45

ooh ooh ooh ooooh I have facebook I am trendy. Only because someone forced it on me... I haven't used it hardly since.

JackieNo · 25/07/2007 21:46

Sorry - you won't be seeing me on there

WigWamBam · 25/07/2007 21:52

Leave MN?

Am just keeping my head down a bit at the moment.

I'm not sure I shall keep playing with Facebook, it's quite fun at the moment but I'm pretty sure it will get stale and boring quite quickly. It's just a little fling; it means nothing to me, a little flirtation elsewhere doesn't count as being unfaithful

MIL is still staying put, she's actually quite enjoying herself in some strange and twisted way. Her flat is part of a retirement complex, and because they are classed as elderly and vulnerable (despite the fact that they are all robust and tough as old boots) the water board are sending them 100 litres of water every day - which is working out at four or five litres per person. They're all having great fun recapturing the wartime spirit of their youth and telling everyone who will listen how much worse it was then!

SIL isn't so lucky, she's having to queue at the bowsers along with the rest of the plebs. She went to get some water from Tescos yesterday, they had run out of the free bottles and several arsewipes were selling the free stuff they had been given for a fiver a litre!

That's OK then . That's a very nice Facebook page you've got there - wouldn't want it to get, ahem, damaged, would we now? (is it Facebook pages? no idea).

Glad your MIL's not descended on you, but for your SIL. Must be horrendous - and no end in sight.

TigerFeet · 26/07/2007 12:33

Well it is weigh in day today is it not??

I have stayed the same.

[sigh]

littlemisssensible · 26/07/2007 16:18

Well thats better than gaining Tigerfeet!

I've managed to lose the weight I put on whilst on holiday last week plus an extra 1/2lb!!! So I'm really chuffed!

DD is at home though with a rather nasty cold and sore throat so I've just had a cream slice with her . Don't think that will help much!

littlemisssensible · 26/07/2007 16:21

WWB, I'm reporting a 1/2lb loss but I can't email until tomorrow because I'm on DH's computer and I can't remember the email address!

agalch · 26/07/2007 16:21

Hi all

Went to my earlier slimming class and i have lost a pound. Don't know how that happened but i am happy

JackieNo · 26/07/2007 17:28

Hi everyone, well done littlemisssensible - that's a fab loss. I've lost a pound too - don't really know how, but I suspect that my period starting has something to do with it.

agalch · 26/07/2007 18:03

Well done LMS and JackieNo

Funny you saying that about your period Jackie,cos i'm guaranteed to put on 1 to 2lbs if i am getting/having my period.

Thought i would def have put on this week after seeing Bryan Adams in concert on saturday.Went to the chinese buffet and it was delish.Ate massive amounts of lovely grub lol.Did dance for about 2 and a bit hours at the concert mind you so maybe that was it. Have been sneaking chocs from the kitchen cupboard when no ones looking. Not good but couldn't help myself lol.

Better go and bath my dd's before they destroy the playroom.

JackieNo · 26/07/2007 18:13

Glad you had a good time, agalch. Sounds fab. Mmmm....chinese food....

WigWamBam · 26/07/2007 20:12

Have been twitching madly all day because the monitor on the PC (the snazzy enormous jobbie that we've only had for about three months) is stuffed and wouldn't talk to the PC ... maddening!

So I may be a little late with the weights, depending on when dh wants his laptop back and whether he can fix the monitor (hopefully it's just a cable needs replacing).

I'm now sitting here squinting at teeny tiny minuscule - it's too much like hard work!

Bloody technology ...

OP posts:
JackieNo · 26/07/2007 20:14

and . Very frustrating. Don't worry about the weights - we're all happy to wait for our weekly arse-kicking.

WigWamBam · 26/07/2007 20:17

Gives me all the more time to prepare for said arse kicking, I guess ...

Dh has gone out on a cable hunt, so hopefully normal service will be resumed soon.

Otherwise I shall end up with square eyes trying to read the posts ...

OP posts:
JackieNo · 26/07/2007 20:21

Doesn't everyone have tons of random cables all over the place? No? Just us then.

WigWamBam · 26/07/2007 20:48

Oh yes - tons of random cables.

None of which fit.

Fancy new screen has fancy cable which isn't anything like the old one (of which we have tons).

I hope he gets one soon; it's almost worse being able to MN but not see the screen than not being able to MN at all!

OP posts:
JackieNo · 26/07/2007 21:00

Grr - typical! All those bits which, if he's anything like my DH, he says we have to keep because 'they might come in useful' and the one time they might, they don't, iyswim. HOPE IT'S SORTED SOON. (THOUGHT IF I TYPED IN CAPS IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO READ ).
