    Hello ladies, just popping in to say hi. Lula, thanks for the note on my blog but I found out today that I still have to wait longer for my furniture! Not to mention that as you'll have seen I still don't have my internet card. Hope you lot are all happy bunnies... xx

    I'm sorry for the demon I've become but you should be sorry for the angel you are not.

    I'll go first then shall I :rolleyes:

    Water & lemon all day, [STRIKE]bowlfulls[/STRIKE] handfulls of nuts, one cup of coffee with a minute little hobnob to restore my energy after a 3 hour, yes 3 hour :eek: housechores blitz. I was shamed into it by sarah :o . Still need to tackle my room in a big way though ... but will ignore for a while longer ;)

    I did also find myself scooping up the remains of DDs chips ( there were honestly only 7) & with no MSE after 10 I may find myself having to seek solace in a flake :shhh: but this is a monthly medicinal type event so shouldnt really count :D

    I have pre-repented for this by going on a 45 minute bike ride with DD along the canal path :A & can report that the gel saddle is worth every penny :D

    Right , your turn .....

    First the good news - I have lost 3lbs :j

    Bad news is that an after work shopping trip has left me feeling fat, frumpy and furstrated - I bought nothing!! What's happening to me? I used to love shopping, now I find it really de-moralising!

    Food today has been cereal for brekkie, tuna salad sandwich for lunch, a few nuts but am about to have steak sandwich and carrot cake :eek: A treat from M&S after my fruitless shopping trip!
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

  • My turn.
    Fried egg sandwich for breakast.
    Mcdonalds milkshake and apple pie for lunch.
    Currently eyeing up a pack of biscuits in the larder.
    What a naughty boy I've been :D

    Shoe Gal - well done on losing 3lbs :j that's brilliant :A

    dont get down about the shopping trip, it's just karma telling you that when you're happy with your weight / size then you'll find lots of fabby stuff to wear :D

    Paulgonnabedebtfree - :eek: :naughty: not the best diet in the world really :rolleyes: I think you should pop round to Shoe Gals for a steak sandwich, & where's the healthy stuff ( no a McDonalds apple pie does not count as one of your five a day :p;) )

    Nice to hear from you though :D
