    oh dear - well one for the team and all that....

    porridge made with water and a drop of cream
    roast chicken brocolli green beans 4 pieces of carrots 2 pieces of new pots - i did them with fresh new season mint i couldnt resist lc gravy
    2 pieces of easter egg
    1/2 lager
    1 large glass of white wine
    1 large baileys - so far

    will have something for supper not sure what

    just to say since having porridge for breakfast i havent put on any significant weight - still just gaining and losing my 2 or 3 lbs even with being extremely bad recently - but i no longer have any need for fibresure
    got 3 tubs of the stuff !!

    also with easy weight gain - i gained 6lbs last weekend from a tortilla wrap nachos banoffee pie baileys crisps and various other nibbles and alcohol - was bad for lc but not that bad for a normal diet IYKWIM - that was on tues by fri 4lbs was gone so its not proper weight gain
    trouble is thats what im telling myself when im eating it - oh it wont be proper weight gain - might be better for me if it was !!

    hi hunnis!

    I've known bloke for getting on 20 years :)

    Sent txt saying basically I had been surprised by his advances but would like us to be friends. Have yet to hear back :)

    Thanks for concern, feel better now I've txt him. balls, court etc. Said I felt awkward inviting him for vid night (which was something I'd suggested before he went wrong) as I felt he might take it the wrong way :rotfl: Q amusing reading that back :)

    Heyho! Onwards and in some direction!

    Off for a bath, all run n waiting for me :)

    Nuts in may is on bbc4 2100 if you fancy it, I'll be out the bath for that one :) Showing age now. You thort Ricky Gervais could do cringe?

    Big love, lovelies!

    Oo, I'm in a good mood now!

    Went shopping for underwear earlier - I can wear big, baggy clothes until I hit target but big, baggy bras just aren't good enough :eek:. (I've so far gone from 36DD to 34C). So I took a trip to the local Matalan Clearance store in good old MSE style. Only just got round to trying them on though (no fitting rooms there).

    Well, I got one set in brown with little pink bows - underwired bra with 3 matching thongs for a total of £6 :grin:. And it fits perfectly. And I also got another set that's just beautiful! Cream lace underwired bra with bergundy embroidered bits and 3 matching french-style knickers with bergundy satin lace-up at the back, they're just sooo cute! Also a perfect fit and a total of £5.50.

    Whoop-whoop for Matalan Clearance underwear! :rotfl:

    Yay! For the underwear bargains, badger!

    It's true, I'm desireable :o but I kinda knew that without erstwhile mate pointing it out so obviously :rotfl:

    He's not so much punting out his league (although there is some of that :D) as being totally wrong about me, as a person. I'm going to put it down to him being scared of getting old as it was his birthday. I'm kind like that.

    Mazzers - I too feel ready for a man, and don't get out enough to meet any. Will have to work on that - BOTH OF US!

    Anyhoo, nicely washed and squeaky clean (in body) will have to depart and slather myself in coconut oil :) heard last nite it helps with stretch marks and cellulite :) are there no ends to it's wondrous properties? :rotfl:
    Willing to give it a go, at worst I'll have really smooth skin :)

    Big love to you all!

    Good for you! That`s one of the perks of losing weight, isn`t it? Guilt-free clothes shopping.
    I didn`t know there was such a thing as Matalan Clearance Stores.We`ve got a normal one just up the road. Have you ever seen any of the "Special deals for Card Holders in store" that they talk about on their website? I never have,and I thought you couldn`t buy anything without one of their cards......?
    I`ve gone from a smallish 16 to a largish 12.(I wish they`d standardize sizes.) I hate jeans that don`t fit yr bum, so I thought I`d get some 12`s in a cheapo Asda range.Very peculiar fit, they were tight around the knees, big round the waist, and so low in the rise.I think I`ll just hang on for a dearer pair when my size settles.

    It`s been so cold here today. It will be easier to find something to wear when I can put a dress or skirt on without freezing my nethers off!

    Not looking fwd to my weigh-in tmw, particularly as I just had a banana :o (for the potassium....ha ha) The lies we tell ourselves...

    Yeah, I hate cheap clothes as a rule - give me Karen Millen any day :rotfl:

    But that clearance store is amazing, not just because it's soooo cheap but also because there's such an enormous range that you can't fail to find something. I mean, they've got dresses and shirts for 50p! I've had funky shoes for £1 and half-decent lined work suits for £6. This one's in Newport Wales and I know there's another in Swindon... not sure about any others in the country though...

    ETA: Does take a while to rifle through - I was there for just under 3 hours today. And it's fairly exceptional to find two full sets of matching underwear in your size (I think they'd just received new stock).
