NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

[CheeeseOnToast]

New thread, old one too big.

Go!

Nothing - there is no food that the buggers can access! That's why I'm so fed up with being inundated by the buggers - I'm ruthless about keeping food out of their reach. And our flipping cleaner was in today so no crumbs anywhere for them to scoff (often think the DC are in league with them as they like to leave crumbs out for them but none around today). Grr.

you'll be carrying a laptop as well, though, or netbook. really it's a rucksack you want, hard to avoid.

Ooh No, Aitch!

No no no!

Rucksacks make me think of French exchange students hanging around at the top of escalators in shopping centres.

Dinky - I don't know what to suggest then...maybe your mice are in The Zone...try cucumber.

Seriously, it sounds like you might need to give Rentokil a ring.

i know, but you'll have books to carry, and computer, and you have kids. no rucksac = many trips to chiropractor

I have a laptop bag...with one of those satchels across my body and a laptop bag in my hand...surely that will be ok?

I know. Why are my frigging vermin in the zone but not me????

Bobs - you need to accept rucksack will be needed for course.

laptop bag in hand, bunches in hair, skipping along...

no. laptop bags v old hat. you just sling them in yer rucksac now, that's the deal. get a nice one.

FGS Dinks - stop faffing about with traps and get the exterminators in. Mice are incontinent so they piss everywhere. Zero tolerance.

Bobs - embrace your inner student. Aitch is like MAY-JORLY fashion forward -rucksacks are the new cool. Look, this one is ok

Su - God, how dismal.

Still zoning here - joyously we all have a slight stomach bug picked up from DS. Hopefully that should aid progress tommorrow for weigh in.

bobbie I like those satchels but would go for a funky colour, eg the purple...how cool would that be. Brown ones are 10 a penny

I know - I want the exterminators in but DH has vetoed it!

Why has he vetoed it?

my mates dad used to weigh the mice he found in his garage and put the info on a graph

We're moving out in August to do major building works on the house - he doesnt see the point of spending ££s to get rid of mice when we can do it ourselves with traps as we'll be out of here in a few months. I'd quite like to be able to let my kids play with their toys in their own bloody home without being worried about mouse crap on them.

THIS COULD BE YOUR HOUSE VERY SOON DINKY

do not mess with mice. they ALWAYS get the last laugh

get rid

Oh dear god Cyb, I feel sick. Will be showing that to DH to get him to agree to getting the fricking exterminators in.

if you can push a biro under a door or through a hole a mouse can get in. Check all your outlet pipes and stuff /air bricks/ back doors etc.

I ahte mice

Bobbie, I have the 14inch in red, it fits my laptop , and has a handle and a strap
It is embossed with my initials [ponce emotion]
I luurve it

We have many biro sized spaces under doors, in floor boards, near fireplaces etc - one of the reasons we're going to be redoing the house Cyb. We've tried blocking them up before but the bloody mice keep creating new entry places. Aargh.

Ugh, am heading off to bed to go get some sleep and leave the mice to it downstairs. Here's hoping tomorrow is a mice free day. Am going to leave DH down here to watch that mouse thing Cyb

ooh fill holes with wire wool. its the only thing mice cant chew through

The wire wool is true, but really, I think I would call the exterminators if it is that bad. They really do piss on everything, I couldn't bear the thought and cleaned every inch of my kitchen. And I had 2 mice (I keep a trap baited even now so I'll know pretty damn quick if I ever get another one
Traps could cost you a fortune as well. I was too squeamish to reuse one once it had been used. Don't fancy washing off mice brains

Those satchels look like the bag my mum forced me to wear to school adn I got beaten up over!
Am possibly going back to uni in september though, so might need something, but never a satchel!

Poor su, do you have to go back in tomorrow or has the boredom stopped?

I have a dilemma, DH says I am looking hot and he is so proud of me that he is willing to pay for a gym fee for me. The locla leisure centres do one for £29 a month, includes unlimited use of pools, gyms and classes in 6 different leisure centres around the city from 7am until 10pm.
I'd be mad not to, wouldn't I? But I have Gym Fear. I still weigh over 16 stone ffs. And I'd need trainers as I only have 'proper' running shoes.

Been to aquacise, me and my mate did great but some of the women were being really halfarsed, I mean, what's the point of going to a class and gently waving your arms and legs?
Just had some houmous, carrots and celery, yum. Possibly going to have susoup or go to bed, not decided yet!

Good morning all on this momentous day! Well it is Weigh In Day. I think there is some election thingie happening but that pales into insignificance against our Weigh In.

Anyway.............

I think have dodgy scales. Damnation and blastation. Will be buying new battery today to see if that helps if not new scales. Hopped on and weighed at 101.8 but it quickly adjusted to 102. Tried again twice but weighed heavier each time!!! Am taking the 102 figure which is a smidgen over 16 stone. So am not there yet.

But i was 16 stone 10 lbs when I started so I have lost almost 10 lbs. And I feel slimmer. Esp around neck. Had about 10 double chins. Have a respectable one now.

Dying to know how you got on Jack! Think you will have won the race.

And yes you would be mad not to do the gym. At least in UK you know there will be all shapes and sizes in the gym. You should see them here in Budapest. Teeny tiny figures except for the enhanced boobs. Full make up on in gym. And they all parade around the dressing rooms naked flashing their brazilians. It is not nice!

Excellent news on hotness JB and keep going Buda.

Oh God, "naked flashing their Brazilians". That's just unneccessary - what happened to struggling to pull your knickers up under a towel? Happy days.

Well, it's all a bit hung parliament here on the weigh in front - down 0.5 of a pound to 8 11.5 but at least it's going down not up!

Am laying turf today so will check in later to see the rest of the results. Later losers!

Gah now have scales and have weighed in...I think I have lost another couple of pounds. Not quite sure how. I am weighing in at 10st 10 now

trousers are hanging off me, look TOO BIG, ones that I couldn't do up wiothout a sharp intake of breath

Kepp going BUDA, 10 lbs is nothing to be sniffed at. But why not stop weighing fior a bit? Tis too easy to get demoralised when the numbers aren't what you want.

Poor old Nick Clegg on the radio...I think he's schweet
