New thread

grapes are good for you!

all i can say is and I know you're right

this is the dress BTW

Its not my usual sort of thing, but it looks good

[hides chocolate cake]

We will have to agree to differ on that, rebelmum. You won't ever find me agreeing that starvation is a good thing - even in the short term, and even if grapes are good for you!

The dress is lovely, MamaG.

Now step away from the chocolate ...

rebelmum i bet you could shite through the eye of a needle

dress looks lovely MamaG - sure you will look fab. An extra inch really won;tmake any difference. IIRC fasting and deoxing have absolutely no scientific basis. I beleive that your liver (and other organs)very efficiently detoxes you. You might think that living on grapes for a few days makes you feel better but it doesn't actually make you any healthier.

I avoid detox and fasting type diets as they are just as obsessive about food in a way as I as a compulsive eater am in the opposite way and I really have enough food issues to deal with without a failed fast to my list.

are you a namechanger rebelmum?

sorry if I should know you but don't recall seeing you on this thread before - damn namechangers (damn old age and memory loss)

Rebelmum's not a name-changer, she's a pretty regular poster - she hasn't posted on these threads before though (although lots of people do lurk here, apparently ... which is a weird thought!).

Oooo-er - you're right - that is a strange thought, WWB.

Hard to imagine why anyone would want to, really; I mean, if you're interested because of weight issues then why not post?

And if you're not interested (or just want to take the piss out of our navel gazing ...) why bother?

I can quite understand someone wanting to read my discourse on my battles with my nemesis - cake. They are very erudite and would no doubt command large amounts of money were I to lower myself to writing for filthy lucre.

Caaaaaake ...

given the popularity of carrot cake why isn;t there a whole range of vegetable cakes? Turnip cake anyone?

mmmmmmmmm caaaaaaaake

I lllllllurve de cake

Carrot cake is lovely, dh's favourite, but myself I am a fan of the chocolate fudge cake.

Does anyone fancy a week to ten days in lovely Kew feeding a couple of very quiet cats in August? 5 min walk from tube which is on undergound line to the Museums in South Kensingotn, 5 min walk from M&S and Botos, 10 min walk from Kew gardens so no need for a car...

I am about to eat pizza
But - I don't care. It's our wedding anniversary AND I have had a horrible few days with sick children plus seem to be getting tonsilitis myself and I'm knackered and feck it really

or know anyone who might fancy it - two double beds, a cot and a single fold up (but very comfy) bed. Though very very messy spare room would need to be tidied first.

And wireless internet connection...

Pizza is Ok for wedding anniversaries.

I think there's courgette cake too.

Am probably going to have a very active day today - I've been for a lumber already and DD wants to go swimming today too.

Pizza definitely OK for wedding anniversaries, MrsJC. Poor you with the sick DCs - you've really had a time of it recently haven't you. Maybe the pizza will stave off the tonsilitis (or maybe you need wine for that).

WWB - don't fancy a week in London? DH could come and join you for the bank hols...

yes we have all been sick FOREVER am totally fed up

I'd do it like a shot Kew, but obviously can't. bet someone will want to though

Wish I could Kew, sounds fab. I love cats and wireless internet connections

MrsJC hope you are all feeling better soon. Pizza will help, I promise

hello, no i'm not a name changer, just looking for inspiration, have got into some bad habits recently. I'm trying to kick start something in my brain.
