    I joined SW last week and have to weigh in tonight. I have eaten very little today and had my eyebrows threaded so that is at least a 1lb off:rotfl:

    Afternoon everyone! HOw are you all doing?

    I_A - Good Luck for tonight - what's the weather like up there? I hope it's not too soggy under foot for you!

    Bunny - Sorry to hear about your date, but I agree with exactly what hellie said - wise words!

    Len - I'm glad you showed a photo of the BBQ open, as I was really struggling to work out how you could cook your sausage on that!!

    Lucifa - If I ever get pregnant, I hope I have cravings for some nice things and not beetroot on toast or something! But I hope you're not feeling too ill at all!

    Hi to Snaggles and Jet and Jinky and Hellie, and anyone else I've missed!

    Well! What a few days I've just had! Life pottering on as normal on Saturday, just getting ready to go out the door to visit friends and my Mum rings...Dad's having a heart attack...Went into panic mode but DH calmed me down and we got over to theirs in superquick time to see Dad surrounded by paramedics being pumped full of drugs - not a sight I wish to relive! Off to local hospital, but then news later that he was going to Papworth - heart specialist hospital. So that's basically where I've been since Saturday evening! He was quite serious on Sunday, but yesterday had perked up quite a bit and appears to be improving each day. I'm hopeful he'll be coming back to BSE very soon though. I love my Mum and Dad very much and you alway thing they're going to live forever, but when things like this happens, you realise that life is precious.

    On a lighter note though, it means that as there is officially a family history of heart trouble, high cholesterol and stroke - I've got to start looking after myself and stop eating rubbish and finally follow the Rosemary Conley diet - where I've been going for my aerobics for nearly 8 years!!

    Have a good rest of the day everyone!

    LOL - you have a way to go yet! My rain has turned to sun. Babies everywhere. I have just had an email from a friend I have not seen for a couple of years and guess what - she's pregnant!

    It does seem to be like that you don't know antone expecting then suddenly a whole batch of folk make there announcements.

    Out of our group 6 of us (3 couples obviously) got married in 2006 - one in August, and us and another couple in October. The Other october couple (IYSWIM) have just announced they're expecting in January, just a month before us!

    It'll be nice to have someone that close to share things with once I 'go public' (she's not one of the uni gang from hell thank goodness)
