The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Will you be posting a recipe for the black bird?

Well done on the scary loan, try not to do what I did with enthusiastic overpaying....ie leaving yourself with no money for the rest of the month because it's so exciting seeing the debt total fall

Hi All, took me ages to find you. Friday night out was amazing! Although found various videos from the gig on youtube and I'm in one of them!!!!! :eek: The guy behind me (same as me) was filming it with his mobile phone. Same as you Fay I get a bit silly on drink. Didn't have too much but more than I have done in years! Felt it the next day.


Decided I need to lose some weight. Weighed myself last night I'm 12 and a half stone. Yet I don't look it. I'm a size 12 on the bottom and a 14-16 up top (OH reckons its my top half thats putting my weight up), but its still more than I'd like to be so going to try and be good and hopefully lose a bit of weight.


Plan for this week is to get a new pot for my Acer tree. Its outgrown the one its in. Do I really need to get peat free soil or can I use normal?

Fay you are fairly rattling into your loan. Well done!

Morning!

Yeah I do seem to remember you doing that - its very very hard not to just plough in all the extra -and then think - whoops.

Slow and steady - OH put in £20 for flowers (from ??january??) so as they have been bought, died and replaced by stuff from the garden I thought OK - into the loan.

Piq it just makes me see how much money I fritter away as treats when we get something 'extra' in.

Hope you are good as well and captain has been behaving.

Blackbird recipe - need a few more:rotfl:

Thinking of collecting all the birds of orkney this year - bit like bird spotting only a bit more frozen.

Glad it was fun - any soil for the tree will do - they aren't particularily fussy..
I know its not very green but I am not a fan of peat free compost

ps also need to lose about a stone or so before my birthday if possible - was miserable last year having photo's taken as I don't look like me at the mo.

sounds like you're having a good day.
Mowing my lawn yesterday made me wish i had a BRB and my lawn isn't very big, just a job i hate to do.
My seeds of saturday are being very lazy, as of yesterday they haven't even bothered to pop their heads out and say hello! shocking

Ever seen the Goodlife episode where they have the experiment where Tom shouts at his plants and barbara tells her bean how amazing and wonderful it is.
You may want to employ tactic a or tactic b with your seedlings - lazy bleeps!!:rotfl:

We are thankfully no where near grass cutting yet. The joys of subarctic life.

Anyway isnt lawn mowing a 'boy job'? AKA a job what is done by the 'bloke' of the establishment or any dupable bloke.

I am all for equality - but not for certain things. I like the door being held open, I dont like to pay (I will but I prefer men to offer) and I want someone capable of not destroying things to plumb things in/do DIY and do all those tiresome jobs like mowing/hoovering (hoover just a carpet mower anyway).

In return I am happy to grow pretty flowers and create delights in the kitchen, provide food, chop logs and generally get mucky.

Hmm no wonder OH lives 300 miles away:rotfl:

DS much chuffed with the BRB now its also shown potential as a tractor as well.

Anyone on here fancy a mini challenge? Weight related that is. I have got back into a nasty habit of spending money at vending machine and its telling on my weight. Ideally I'd like to lose 2 stone but if I can lose even half a stone by end of the month I'll be happy.

As I said earlier I'm 12 and a half stone. Anyone fancy keeping me company with this?

Me! me! I've joined in on another thread, the get moving one, but I'd dearly love a friend to keep company. I've got a couple of stone going spare. I want to fit my summer skirts and trousers, really don't want to buy new clothes this year.

My scales battery has died of boredom through not being used so need to pick up a new one. I've ordered a new funny looking battery for my pedometer through work It's their fault I've put on weight through being fed up! The least they can do is buy me a new battery...
