    A little tip for those ladies like Rach who have a lot 'up top' chest wise. You can always find out how much *they* weigh by getting your partner involved ;)

    Undress - at least for the top half. Stand on the scales then get OH to carefully support the weight of said womanly bits (not in a full hug or anything - just holding them). And watch the pounds on the scales drop!

    Restaholic - I am not sentimental in my mission...anything and anyone can go (apart from Stripes, grungy cat and old pup). I've cleared at least 960 things in the last two days....that's frightening. Do you think the house will fall down!

    Yeahhhh toots for joining us. Hugs to all and night night.

    Muddy's challenge (are you in Embb) - clean the wall / floor around your dishwasher...the bit where it splashes and looks yuk! xx

    Nope - but it might lessen the risk of subsidence :rotfl:

    soappie i should've known you'd know how...!! I was just going to enquire of likklegibbon how she did it! I think I was a FF at last count but my bras are way too tight and uncomfortable since I gained weight.

    I have done well over the last few weeks though, following the ww points but just at home, i have all the stuff from when I went before. Bit of a setback with last night's curry but you have to celebrate sometimes!!

    I just had a burst of energy so in a flurry of activity I prepared 2 lunches (mushroom pasta) for DH, stewed about 6 slightly wrinkly apples, washed up and prepped the veg for tomorrow night's stir fry.

    DH is moving so I will sign out and spend some time with him.

    ETA he just walked in and said he'll weigh my breasts tomorrow :rotfl:

    Thanks so much for that link Triker - it had me in tears too - I read it out to OH and he just stood there and didn't laugh at all! He just said it was interesting!!!! Really must go to bed in a minute cos I've got to be up early tomorrow for work and then I'll be gyming after work so will need my energy.

    Night all,

    Aw what a shame, my OH wanted to see why I was laughing so much (loudly) he had to look and he couldn't stop laughing either, had to wipe his eyes a few times as he was laughing that much.

    I think you need to read it for the full effect.:rotfl:
