    Ha ha, no they're not made of chocolate and I'm not moving (although may be going abroad for 6 months next year :T). It's a small one made out of banana leaves (it's a jewellery stand). I'm sure most people would think it was weird but when I lived in Zimbabwe we had a massive one of these right beside our house, it was truly awesome. One night we slept out under it and looked at the stars through the branches for hours (the skies with no electricity anywhere are amazing). In the morning we got told off as there were hyenas everyone and we could've been in real trouble :rotfl:

    Sounds exciting Bails, where might you be off to next year?

    My gain is 2lb of which only 1.2lb is showing as body fat. So I am putting 0.6lb down to extra eating, 0.6lb to less exercise last week and 0.8lb to TOTM :p This seems to add up perfectly with the 'extras' I reported yesterday, so I'd like to think I would have maintained on 1600 cals/day if I had stuck to it!

    Not going to get side tracked by trying to lose the 2lb as I don't really need to and I'm sure it'll even out normally :) So I'm still on the trail of getting the maintain calories up! Having another go at 1600/day this week but doing it properly ;)

    Have a great week everyone. Suggs I hope you're recovering OK :)

    Sounds sensible Missy. Um, we're not sure yet, possibly India or maybe Africa or South America! :D It depends where OH sees a job he fancies ;) I'd love to go to South America to learn Spanish and to dance but probably too expensive. If we went to India I could do some serious yoga and learn how to make fantastic curries! :j Basically it's a win-win situation and the world is pretty much our oyster :T
