    Nighty Night all, there's hardly a spec of snow now, so I can safely say I won't be snowed in tomorrow and will have to goto work.

    Feel a bit bad, cos I threw in the baldy comment and then promptly went out! :rotfl: With a baldy man, no less! :rotfl:

    Yay to nice curries with nice baldy men and for being adventurous and trying something new! :T And - no spend!! (well, apart from petrol).

    I do have a serious thing for baldies - when I'm working my nightclub bar job, my interest is seriously grabbed by the sight of a baldy head! :rotfl:

    Crisps! Coffee! Can hardly function without either of them! will have to give it a go though, I am all about the quick fixes.:o


    Hi, dont want to be negative but you may find that as quick as the weight comes off...it will go back on when you resume your normal eating habits; unless you plan to detox forever.

    Boring i know but ... it's far more effective & healthier to increase your exercise rather than starve your body. The occasional detox is ok but not a substitute for a balanced diet & plenty of exercise. Detox is not going to tone your muscles or improve your health, exercise will :rolleyes: .

    Good news on your date Erriberi - is there a brother available :D

    I am SO excited, just went to our shopping outlet with mum .. bought a French Connection size 16 something (unsure if dress or top to be honest, may wear it as dress if I am feeling brave) and it FITS :j:j:j and it was £50 reduced to £7 with only a little hole in the collar from a security tag :j:j:j ... my excitement is I have never bought anything from what I would call a regular shop before :o :rotfl:

    Well done. Its such a great feeling isn't it. It just makes you feel normal although I'm convinced some of those shops don't base their sizes on anything but an imaginary woman so few leave room for boobage. I was nearly there (again) and then put some back on again. I will get there and stay there soon though.

    I've just done something bad in a money saving sense and signed up for Virgin tv. But I have got a £300 a month payrise and its only £14 a month more thna I was paying just for my phone (after the £99 for the box and connection charge has been paid). And I'm trying to cut down on what I pay on groceries. And looky at the sig I've knocked 2 years off my debt free date even with this included in my budget.

    I know how you feel sometimes I don't know which is harder loosing weight or paying off debts. The thing is once the debts are paid they are gone but the weight will probably creep back on again.

    I have had some slightly bad news in that I'm only on call once next quarter. Its not too bad because there are some people on the rota who probably wont want to do it and the payrise means I no longer have to do monthly on call to have money to pay the creditors. Although that extra £50 would come in handy to go towards the full and final settlements.

    Poor you but congrats on the payrise im on payment protection the now so no payrises for me until my new wage meets the old one which i say should happen this year as there is only a couple of pounds difference now,.

    Can you cover for the people that may not want to do it? give you something extra
