Pointy - am pretty sure that's the approach that La Moss and the rest of her super skinny model mates approach -live on fags and water by day and other substances (like the hard core version of Noddy's coke/cake fixation ) at night. Normal people's approach to dieting is a whole lot less rock n roll.

mmmm smoked almonds

slow on the uptake tonight

dinkystinky · 05/05/2010 21:25

Meant the approach they adopt, not approach. Being woken at 4.30am for the day by DS2 is playing havoc with my attention to detail. I must go to bed soon.

smallish- def goal complacency here

had a Bournville Heroes.... whats the singular of chocolate Heroes? Hero? Had a Bournville Hero today, sneakily, in the school kitchen.

And is ds's birthday today so in family tradition we troop to our local trattatoria (love that word)

Its a standing joke that I order the same dish, gnocchi, everytime I go, they dont even bother asking me anymore

But not tonight! I ordered something else. So, the nice friendly waiter gives me a small portion of gnochhi as a joke side dish. Which I ate 70% of too.

G U L P. No pud though

CybilLiberty · 05/05/2010 21:32

and pointy sometimes I get an urge to smoke too...shall we meet behind the bike sheds?

I know its vile but ..

smallishsheep · 05/05/2010 21:34

I know I'm doing it as well. Stuff I haven't touched for months.
I am paying the price though, my skin is shocking

pointydog · 05/05/2010 21:35

I'm sure a fag wouldn't clog me up as much as gnocchi

Wasn't it meant to be smoked salmon?

dinkystinky · 05/05/2010 21:36

Look Cyb, Sheep - at least you've got to goal. You know what you did to get there and all you need to do is reign back a few days to that a week to stay there hopefully. I am getting plateau complacency - now that is where the real danger lies.

Gnocchi is lovely Cyb - always have it in our house as the DC love it - a tiny portion is fine.

CybilLiberty · 05/05/2010 21:39

yes but dinky I had canneloni too . Altho I didnt eat it all. I was full so early

I'll stop now as I am sounding like an annoying woman who thinks all food is bad

noddyholder · 05/05/2010 21:40

Well I am def keeping my diet coke if you lot are bloody smoking now.Cab really identify with the goal weight pig out.i was ill a few weeks ago and lost a few pounds of water really.Dp saw me in a black bra and knickers 9which admittedly was slimming and coupled with all the throwing up made me look thin)said I looked great and by lunchtime that day I was in carluccios!

pointydog · 05/05/2010 21:41

last night and tonight have been the forst evenings I have felt really quite peckish.

Can we stop talking about carluccio's et cetera

noddyholder · 05/05/2010 21:42

Lets all get huge again!

dinkystinky · 05/05/2010 21:43

Pointy - go look at that image of Debbie and Paul again - will put you off food for the rest of the night for sure.

cocolepew · 05/05/2010 21:43

Me too pointy, I thinks it's the volcanic ash [passes the buck]

smallishsheep · 05/05/2010 21:44

I have been known to have the occasional cheeky fag.
Or rather, to hold the occasional cheeky fag. Once that bad boy reaches my lips it becomes all too obvious that I don't smoke. I use it merely as a tool to meet men new interesting people on a night out. Asking for a light is a v sociable thing to do.
Which is pretty counter productive really as I could never actually go out with a smoker

cocolepew · 05/05/2010 21:44

lol noddy.

dinkystinky · 05/05/2010 21:44

Who was it giving mousetrap advice to me - was it you Sheep? Tried peanut butter and chocolate last night with no luck. Trying pancetta tonight (in the hope its a middle class mouse with a carluccios penchant - bacon worked for our nanny with catching her mice but dont have any in). What worked for you with your traps?

pointydog · 05/05/2010 21:47

yes. SMoking is social, agree

pointydog · 05/05/2010 21:47

paul damiels is anti social

pointydog · 05/05/2010 21:48

Never had much success catching mice the one time we had mice. Ended up putting down poison

CybilLiberty · 05/05/2010 21:50

lol @ 'lets all get huge again...'

oh I really couldn't bear it though. I was lumpen and had red welts round my tummy permanently from strained waistbands

besides, what woudl I do every night without you lot to fart about with

reckon Su's days are numbered on here though....her and her divvels on horseback

pigs in blankets, more like

smallishsheep · 05/05/2010 21:51

Yes, twas me. You need chocolate. NOt too pig apiece. And a really good old fashioned trap. I was most on the first night when I had bought a trap that looked something like a hole punch, to come in the next morning to find chocolate gone but no mousy. You want the most utalitarian one you can get. Independant hardware store ala Open all HOurs your best bet. Bait it, careful of your fingers, and prepare your delicate self for the carnage the next day. One mouse was splatted right through the skull.

And that, people, is your free food aversion therapy for today

dinkystinky · 05/05/2010 21:51

Concerned about poison with a one year old with a penchant for putting random things in his mouth pointy - otherwise I'd be going down that route too.

Agree Paul Daniels is anti-social and just well anti-good taste.

BariatricObama · 05/05/2010 21:54

everytime you need to biff, think about andrew lloyd webber french kissing you.

fishie · 05/05/2010 21:59

yy old fashioned wooden snap mousetraps. we baited this one with birthday cake. poison is not nice.

in old house, while watching big brother, got two mice heads in one snap.

i have eaten the whole labour party bag of broccoli. astonishing.
