    No problems luc, I thought you knew the sex or was that catl? Love my cricut I design whatever now. I would never sell/give that up. I used to have a cuttlebug but the cricut is way better. I do a bit of everything but I tend to alter/art journal now, I also love working with metal. Looksie here for some of my work on my blog :) I needle felt/fabric stuff too so yeah bit of everything :rotfl:

    Wow - you've got a real talent there. I am a total magpie. Really looking forward to living in a place where my stuff doesn't have to be packed away all the time so I can get back into it properly, especially scrabbooling as me and Hubbles both love photos.

    Did anyone see this week's Horizon about 'Why are thin people not fat?' - watching it on iplayer, very interesting

    Gem I saw that too, it was good but ~ and this is coming from a morbidly obese person who has been since she was 7years old. I think its a get out for fat people. They can say, well I have the fat gene :rolleyes: Ok there could be something in that but to me its a get out. I am fat because I am lazy and eat too much. I do think that your body becomes used to a weight though as I seem to flitter around 16st ~ 17st. However everyone can lose weight it just means some of us when we get to a healthy weight we need to go on a mantainace plan or watch what you put in your mouth.

    Thanks my 2p worth and only muy opinion.

    Aww thanks Luc but I think anyone can do what I do as long as they have the tools. I love playing but I am like you because I live in one room (effectively) I need to pack it away each time. I could leave it out but it will be a huge mess. I cant really do scrapbooking that well, mainly because I dont take that many pic and then my pages are rubbish. I think anyone who has a tallent how small must be allowed to use it. Even if its just to give the cards to charity :)

    Thansk luc, has she called her evvie too? I think I remember that, are you due now then? whens cat due?

    I agree, I thought the same on the Gok programme, I think the 'fat gene' is just another excuse for many. I also agree with the weight your body can be used to and I don't think BMI is a good measurement for everyone either.
    The obese kids who say they've tried diets (on various programmes) - I do have to wonder, how much have they tried and how long have they stuck at it.

    s'okay - my brain is tired from doing self assessments! ;)


    No problem, I'm just glad to be a corporate bod and not personal ...

    ED - thanks for the link. I think I need 2 accounts - a proper fixed term deposit account for the bit I wasn't expectoing and a easy(er) access one I can 'pay' myself from on a weekly basis to make sure I don't go nuts!

    its been a mixed week, less stressful than last year when we were so behind I had to work day and night to get everyone's assessments done, but still a bit stressful with the stragglers and the clients who have nervous breakdowns when you tell them how much they have to find in two days!!
