    :rotfl::rotfl:Never heard that one before. I know how you feel when it comes to being in the gym, i have spent a fortune in the past on decent sports bras, but they dont seem to do an awful lot!

    Our cat is on a special diet because of her digestive system, is a bit fustrating how expensive her food is, but is worth it if she is going to be happy and healthy.

    Well done on posting your measurements Cinny, they're not bad at all, and if you (read any of us, especially me!) start sticking to healthy eating and exercise they'll go down in no time! I'm a bit concerned about what I'm going to do food and exercise wise next week when I'm banished to Chorley, I'm not going to be able to make sandwiches for lunch and since I dont like mayo and salad I can't eat pre-packaged sarnies so I'll have to have a horrid canteen meal, if they even have a canteen there! Oh dear, I think I'm going to have to e-mail my boss who's there at the minute and ask what I'm going to do food-wise! My life is ruled by my belly!
    I managed to clear a little of the spare room last night, the desk is tidy now... just the rest of the room to sort out now!

    Glad to see your Tesco CC still going down Cinny.

    Thanks Dinah, should be cleared by this Friday. But then I'm using it to get birthday presents for my mum and dad, should be cleared again within a few months.

    I know what you mean about food Birdie, that would be ruling my thoughts too :rotfl:I think you might just have to cut yourself some slack meal wise, just cut out the snacks and drink water and you should be okay!

    Was good with my breakfast this morning, had weetabix without the normal seven spoonfuls of sugar. Just the one! Off into town to get catfood, sending my OH a letter with a scratchcard in to try and cheer him up! Not looking hopeful for seeing him this weekend at all :(

    Have a nice morning everyone!

    Asked NIM what he wanted to do for date night tonight, and he said he wanted to go to the gym! So, running again tonight. Will try to remember to take my bottle of water in with me this time! As usual haven't eaten breakfast today, considering eating my non-fat yoghurt which is my lunch 'pudding' though.

    Think we all scared cat by being clingy last night, NIM even went down to give her a goodnight kiss!

    Quite worried about the finances atm. We've paid out a fair bit on cat bills, and NIMs dad has now gone on holiday so still can't get hold of the £600 or so that he has of ours. I really, really want this overdraft gone again - I need to be firm with myself and stick these two laptops up for sale in order to pay it off, then when NIMs dads money comes through that can go into the savings instead.

    Is there not a bus or train either you or OH could take to get to each other Cinny? Or an obliging family member to give you a lift? When I first started going out with OH he lived 45 minutes away and since he doesn't drive it was up to me to be the travelling party, one day I said I was fed up of driving and he had to take the bus to mine, it was a tiny little clapped out rustbucket of a bus and the journey took nearly 2 hours, he was green when he got off! Poor thing, I took pity on him after that and resumed driving duties!

    You aren't banned Poolie! Any updates on the teddybears?

    I looked at trains and their times don't fit in with me and OH working. Just glad he's going to look at this new car Monday, so should be able to see him next weekend at least. No family members to pester into taking me there either, all on holiday! I suppose gives him time to spend at home, I know his mum must feel like she hardly sees him. And it means I get to watch all the rubbish TV I want :D

    Lol you're not really banned Poolie, just no rubbing it in our faces how much cake you get to nosh on! I'm going to fall down so badly the week I'm off, have the girlies from church coming on the Monday so will be making brownies, cupcakes and a cheesecake, then I have people for dinner Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so lots more puddings then!

    She's fine, the vet has said it is progressive so she's happy as ever atm, NIM has to go over to the vets after work to get some suppliments though to put in her food, and to get details of what her new food needs to be.

    Hows the teddy alliance?

    My boss has let me know which hotel I'm staying in, it's on the grounds of Camelot Theme Park! How cruel, sticking me next to a theme park but not letting me go! There's a pool and gym there so that's good, but the food is apparently awful, my poor belly will not be impressed! It doesn't look like there's internet access in the rooms either so I won't be able to chat to you guys on a night when I'm bored and alone!

    Really really hope you're only there for a week then if the food is awful and no internet! Don't think I could hack it even that long without net tbh.
