Its a manufacturing secret...Its something they put into the fabric to that when your not looking they shrink and then you have to spend more money at their shop to get another one..

Ahh, it all becomes clear now, that's a devious trick :rolleyes: Well, I'll just have to diet and hope the suits don't shrink any further! If only I could donate some of my surplus plumpness to someone - sigh

I say we find on here someone skinny and we do a 'fat attack'.

We take turns luring someone into a false sense of security by talking about money saving ideas then take turns loading off the lard.

BTW- mine might take a while to offload....

Why don't you try Avon instead, no costs.

Actually there is a cost, you have £15 charged on your first two invoices, but normally your commision should cover these.

p.s. Happy for you too offload the lard onto me.

Brilliant idea, we'll start by subtly asking if their weight matches their debt, mine certainly does!!! and if it doesn't - fat attack!!

I used to do Body Shop at Home...might be worth ringing the head office to see if they're running any promotions at the moment, they often do half price kit etc. I found it pretty profitable and you sound ideal personality-wise. Once you've got your first 6 parties it's fairly easy to build them up, plus your manager should be able to pass you some too.

I hear you on the treats, but maybe you could pamper yourself at home instead sometimes and put the money you would've paid onto a debt? Especially if my OH is away I like a nice hot bath, lots of pampering, scrubbing and de-fuzzing then stick a girly film on and do my nails. Usually with a huge bowl of popcorn (not much good for these shrinking suits though, heehee!!).

Well done on the amazon sales - 10 in one day is fantastic, how did you manage that?! I only seem to get one in a blue moon!

Have you been on the old style board? I've found it really helpful for changing my perspective on life and what I spend my money on.

Hi!

Piquant - debt defo matches weight!!! i lost 50lb last year but gained 40lb back on!!! LOL

BittyBob and Penny2myname - hiya!! thanks for coming on the thread, im meeting so lovely people on here.

Ive only sold lots of books because i put 125 on! lol took me about 4 hours!!!! I had finger ache!! Im a bit of an Ebay fiend too now, if the OH isnt careful he'll be on there next..

ANY BIDDERS FOR A 6FT 2IN MALE, HE WILL TURN YOUR HEATING ON FULL BLAST AND EAT YOU OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME..HOWEVER HES NOT TOO BAD LOOKING SO IT MIGHT BE WORTH BIDDING???? :rotfl:

Just been reading the thread about men peeing all overthe house when drunk so I think I'll give him a miss for now, ta

Meant to say as well...good luck with your interview tomorrow!

blondiedebtfree

Well i think it went well, after squeezing myself into my suit, which didnt look too bad i have to say...

The two ladies that interviewed me were lovely and i answered all the questions as best as i could. I actually made them laugh at one point, AT A JOKE, NOT A ME!!!.

The wage is more than i was on before and the location is great, so fingers crossed. I know they are interviewing a lot of people so i wont get my hopes up though as its tough to get a job.

I went to the job centre on the way home and go so angry. :mad:
I was told before to apply for contributions based JSA and then it was denied, i was self employed for 10 months in 2006. So they told me to fill in a 30 page plus form for income based, only for them then to say NOPE, EVEN THOUGH YOUR OH EARNS PITTANCE AND YOU HAVE PAID NATIONAL INSURANCE ALL YOUR WORKING LIFE EXCEPT FOR THOSE 10 MONTHS, WE CANNOT HELP YOU. AT ALL. THANKS FOR WASTING YOUR TIME AT THE JOB CENTRE.

Sorry if i sound mean but it annoys me, ive paid national insurance all my life except that 10 months. The man was really rude to me, im not a rude person, im actually quite shy, and i went to speak to another lady and i ended up in tears and i think she thought i was a loon!

I can only hope i have soon good news this week about a job, then it wont matter. I hear from another company tomorrow about if they have pulled the role i interviewed for or not. The situation was left that they wanted me, but had to re-evaluate their situation. I really liked the company as well..you never know.

Im off to my sisters now, to see her new little baby. hes very cute only 2 weeks old. He was a chunky monkey at 9lb 6oz!

Then im off to the Post office to post the books i sold (and also get horrible glares from people in the queue as i do it..grrr).

Hope your all having a good day xxxx:j :j

babyhead

Wanted to say am enjoying reading your diary!

I too get glares at the post office when I go - even the postlady gets annoyed with me! I dont know why - I want to send parcels and give her money!!

I would gratefully receive some lard - I need to gain about 1.5-2st (have a stupid lung disease...long story) and its proving difficult. Although all lard would have to be strategically placed

hope you hear about your interviews soon. shame about JSA.

blondiedebtfree

Thanks Babyhead.
Oh my lung disease, i really should stop moaning about silly stuff! I hope your ok! You can defo have my lard, even some boob-ige if you want it! :rotfl:

Also i have an abundance of flubber in the hip area...i wont even charge you for it x:D
