Weekly weigh in - happy to report a 1.5 lb loss this week so very pleased with myself. Will try and have one more good week this week before allowing a few Christmas goodies to start creeping in! I was only going to have treats on Xmas day but then I thought I should start slow and work my way up to grand feast:rotfl::rotfl:!
Love
MarionWhen life hands you lemons, ask for tequilla and salt and give me a call!!!0 -
I couldn't believe I did it! Def not going to use it as a diet tool though!:rotfl: I think looking at the pack of mince pies just as I bit into it reminded me of all the pastry and sugar I was about to swallow. Usually can't stand them but these were one soaked with brandy - mmmmmmm! Think I'll just have the brandy and give the mince pies a miss!
Well done on the roast dindins Vix. Have a confession - the thought of miniVix did pop into my head when you said you were off your food. Any other signs?
ha, no. I dunno, i think its the flu related thing. I forced myself to eat lunch today, and i had a bit of pasta last night. Im getting there but i still dont feel hungry, its coming up to two weeks of never being hungry, has the lord answered my prayers? but i know im without child, unless God is going to send me an angel at my window telling me im the next mary.
Oh but guess what!!!! I weighed myself the other morning and i was under 10 stone!!!!!! but when give a few hours and im over it again ha. But what the hell, it was flipping nice to see.0 -
Well done missy on reaching your year anniversary!!
I hope you get a big gasp raph, you deserve one! Is penzance in wales? or am i making that up?
glad youre ok bails, sounds horrible! At least it wasnt an abcess or whatever, i saw that on hospital heros and they look painful.
As for me im in a mood cos im working 8-5 christmas eve, and 9-6 boxing day, so literally christmas is going to be !!!! this year. Im going to go to london to stalk Granny and tagz, infact, i wanna know where harrods is cos ive never seen it and i want to see it. Im thinking i can enjoy christmas when its not christmas this year, and i think matt and i need some time where were going out and doing stuff together, instead of cleaning or going to a sodding supermarket. I still need to write 4,000 dont shoot me cos im gunna do it in a minute!

there was a job in the paper for a graduate teacher programme thing in leisure and tourism.
I researched it and apparently i need a C in maths. Balls to it! Do you reckon they would notice the D next to the maths column? ha0 -

It's always worth a try Vix - your other qualities may outshine your D in maths. In my experience qualification expectations are only a guide, and not set in stone.
Go for it!

p.s. just read your previous post - Harrods is on Brompton Road, in Knightsbridge. Turn left out of Knightsbridge tube station and look out for the green canopies.Start BMI - 38.7 Current BMI - 31.2 Target BMI - 26.30 -

That'll be a geography teacher then, Vix? Sorry - the D in maths is a complete barrier .... no exceptions made, you'd have to retake it. And then there's a skills test in maths too even if you've got the GCSE grade.
Let me know when you're in London and I'll come to be stalked.0 -
well thats that idea gone then!
I've only ever got a C grade in maths once EVER. It just wont happen for me (i doubt)
Its annoying, i know to be a teacher you gotta know your stuff, but why is maths such a requirement. I manage in my life fine with being a thicko in maths, and everything else ha.
Wont my B in english make up for the deficit. I got a double C in science, and humanities i got a B so everywhere else im fine. Grrr. Well i think B and C is fine.
More fitting old ladies into triumph doreens it is *sigh*
anyway, i gotta go back home. Thanks for the responses people0 -
oh p.s
im thinking of Sunday. Its the only day matt and i are both off, highly poo cos i wasnt thinking of a weekend day.0
