no one ever asks me what my norks are like

what about simply be or similar RG?

RGPargy · 12/11/2008 22:42

Ria - thanx for the link. I've found quite a few on Simply Be and some other website that a friend at work found me - name escapes me now. I'll check out Asda tho as i will probably end up getting Ellie's birthday dress from there.

I know what you mean about a size 16 being "large" haha!! I only DREAM of being an 18 at the moment!

What are YOUR norks like, Ria?!

Pink - My norks? Erm.... Well they're kinda pink and fleshy and ample!! your wrap over top sounds lovely!! If you're sure you dont need it any more, i would be more than willing to offer it a new home!

jaz236 · 12/11/2008 22:43

my norks go down to my knees since i had bambino lol !!

educatingRia · 12/11/2008 22:46

I think "massive" covers it

RGPargy · 12/11/2008 22:57

Jaz/Ria - Mine are identical to both of yours too!

PinkChick · 13/11/2008 09:35

( to ria.x)..yeah will send it to you friday or sat with ebay stuff, i only wore it once, tis lovely, if it looks too revealing, i just put a tiny pink in to hold together

RGPargy · 13/11/2008 09:55

Oh brilliant, thanx Pink. Let me know if you want anything for it/for postage etc. I dont mind! Message me on FB for my address when you're ready to send it. x

and my bambino keeps bashing them with his feet, so i reckon my norks will end up flat!! ha!! i wish they would do a bra that squashes them small - they do bloody bras to make them look bigger and chicken fillets etc but what abt the large chested girl who doesnt like hers!!

my ex flat mate was 36g or something stupid, for xmas she asked her parents to have them reduced, they paid for them she has a fine pair of norks, although she has these horrible whipped cream like scars undernearth and cant brestfeed or have any sensation in them, but they look fab!

educatingRia · 13/11/2008 18:17

what about a minimiser bra jaz?

educatingRia · 14/11/2008 14:37

I am going OUT tonight. No idea what I'm going to wear. Don't want to go any more.

We'll need a new thread soon!

PinkChick · 14/11/2008 18:56

ria why do u keep changing your name?

educatingRia · 15/11/2008 10:05

SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!!!!! not only do I need to change myself I need to change my wardrobe. Night out was OK, not really my thing. I had a good time but not a great time iyswim. Didn't help that by the time I had got the DCs ready for bed/to go out I had 20 mins left to wash my hair and get ready.

jaz, this name is in honour of my OU course (Educating Rita), the last one was my halloween name, it will soon be christmas... I like a change I do like to keep Ria though, I am fond of her.

educatingRia · 15/11/2008 22:29

following on from Something has to be Done - I am doing it
just done 40 mins Rosemary Conley DVD, good hot bath with proper skincare products on my face, and am drinking water til DH gets in then I will have a little wine.
I am off to find a pic of Michael Ball as that Hairspray woman to act as a little "reminder"

hope you guys are good

educatingRia · 16/11/2008 10:38

definitely gone and done it!

this morning I have the posture of a dancer...
because I've pulled my back and have no choice but to walk like I've a brush stuck up my..
am hoping it wears off as the day goes on.

good xmas shopping deal here

educatingRia · 16/11/2008 22:40

have you all gone away and got skinny???

PinkChick · 17/11/2008 08:17

pah!, notme..ate and drank all weekend which is not me..plus i opened the chocs we bought to 'have in' over xmas

OP posts:
educatingRia · 17/11/2008 09:34

never mind pink, put it behind you and start afresh. It is Monday after all. you've done so well too, so one weekend won't harm too much.

I bought myself quality street yesterday, plan being I have 2/3 depending on syns, for a proper treat. But treats only if I've exercised.

Just added an extra 20 mins to the walk home from school.

I want a good week this week, I need to see if these tabs are any good.

PinkChick · 17/11/2008 10:27

thanks Ria, have they been working' as in making you go if you eat anything laden with fats?

ive just made myself porridge, left out the sugar( i used to have sweetner in but stopped cos of all the aspatame etc) and mashed up a banana instead and it was lovely, feel really full now, going to take mindee (not here yet only working 2 hours today) to buy fruit and pop to post office this afty, so a walk that i wouldnt normally be doing and the rest of day i will be hoovering and cleaning till school pick up, so hopefully that will burn extra calories off...am going to speak to nurse re me feeling like im due one twice everymonth as that shouldnt be happening whilst im on pill and its making me heavier plus get terrible bache/stomache ache etc??

anyway, hope you all have good day.take care.

educatingRia · 17/11/2008 12:38

that's not happening at all pink. does happen a bit if I don't take themn though

DM is away for a few days so I'm taking my DVD round there to do tonight if DH is in

PinkChick · 17/11/2008 13:43

hmm, well they should be doing something??..i would go see gp/nurse to ask.

Good on you for doing the dvd, might follow suit tonight actually!..my flabby bits are getting ridiculous!
and i found the tin of heros again after lunch...am off to post office now, mindee gone home as was raining when she was here, so will do a power walk!.x
