    Mazzers, get over here till I rub you for luck! Great news, I can only imagine how chuffed you must feel right now. :T

    Just think....you'll have all that extra cash each month to spend on booze and parties. :rotfl:

    Good going girl! :D

    mazzers, I'm confuzzled :confused:

    I know it's none of my [STRIKE]beeswax[/STRIKE] business but thought you wouldn't be paying mortgage each month so you would have that extra cash. That's what I meant. :o

    :rotfl:

    I was finding it difficult so did interest only for a couple of years ( huh, and still only just managing)
    So, tis a Godsend.
    I will be saving, but still not earning much. Especially with the food bills :eek:
    Pity i couldnt keep the cash, (or some of it) i dare not though, cos i know it'll whittle away.
    I Have to pay the mortgage off.

    Hi everyone :wave:

    Just wanted to say what fantastic news mazzers...... I wouldn't be able to sleep:j:j
    If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.:whistle:

    My way is Atkins;)

    YaY Mazzers! :j That's great, must be a weight off. Fantastic to hear good news!

    Anneley you could be me :) same juggling the same few pounds, same love of cake :rotfl: I recommend the mockolate danish and bakewell tart. The splenda isn't too bad. I can't stand the taste of sweeteners either but find the amounts in these recipes very easy on the tongue :)

    sweets! Low carb and coherent! Keep on doing it honey, cheesy leeks are a treat you should have more often :)

    Hi Lesley! Nice to see you. I too read a lot of the old thread before making the plunge and joining so your name at least is familiar. Great results with the weight loss! You are an inspiration!
    I'm 5'7 11stone and would love to get to 10'7 as then all my clothes will fit properly again :) Originally started l/c for future health reasons.

    Back in a bit, hopefully!

    Tis quiet tonight after the excitement of earlier :D

    Have just been for an hour-long walk along the beach so am feeling quite tired after all the fresh air - it was very, very windy!! Think I will sleep tonight, I'm yawning my head off now!!

    I know I've only been doing low-carb for 2 days now but I'm sure my face looks slimmer already!! Think I absorb water like a sponge when I eat carbs so get that carby face I have mentioned before. If I keep losing it this quickly I'm going to look like Skeletor by the end of the week!! :rotfl:

    Mercy, hope I'm still being coherent, I certainly don't feel it!! Taking forever to type this post because I keep making spelling mistakes & having to go back :rolleyes:

    Anyway, I've had my 5 minute sit down to recover from my walk, I'm off to get my strawberries. Going to be watching Ashes to Ashes on catch-up tonight so will see everyone tomorrow :wave:

    Morning Everyone

    I'm an early bird this morning as OH is snoring his head off so thought I might as well start my day.If you've read my old posts you'll know I am one of those sad people that weigh themselves every day.I know I shouldnt but for me it works better that way.Well on the scales this morning I've lost 1lb which makes me feel pleased so only another 12 to go:D.But I did do two bouts on the wii fit yesterday to try and kickstart my weight loss as it was too wet and miserable here to get out for any other form of exercise

    Mazzer its really peeves me when you spend good money on a meal and it tastes terrible.It seems to happen far too often for my liking these days where has peoples pride in the art of catering gone?They seem to think they can slap any disgusting mess on a plate and charge extortionate amounts for it and us punters will keep coming back for more!Vote with your feet is what I say and dont eat their again.But on the positive side you did have a lovely day other than that

    Lesleyxxx
