The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Oh now you see this is the info I need Birdie!!! Liking the sound of those sales and the parade would be cool, hadn't even thought of that!

That's a shame about the job Tete, bummer that the guy isn't even that interested in it! I suppose you can just feel happy that you weren't too bothered about it and hope that the guy takes on more than he can handle just to prove that you should have been given it!

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, so yeah, the 3rd on Nov. It's when Christmas officially starts; unlike here when it seems to start after August Bank Holiday!

Pippin is a much nicer name for poor 'poo'face! He must have some kind of ingrained issues with being called that?!

I'd stay clear of America on Black Friday at all costs! They sound like bloody loonies on that day.

I prefer Pippin too! I only wish he'd answer to it :rolleyes: He even looks like a Pippin I think!

Glad to be of service! My parents were there for Thanksgiving kind of by accident about 10 years ago and I've wanted to go ever since! I'd love to go to Disney World over the holidays too as the parades will be amazing!

ETA: Black Friday does sound a little scary TBH but worth it for 75% off stuff! You just can't be worried about getting a few bumps and bruises... and teeth knocked out!

Yeah it's a bit of a relief really! All good. The Bounties are calling me from my bag!! Help me stay strong!

Birdie85

I can't help you Tete, I've got 3 Krispy Kreme doughnuts in my bag! I'm going a little mad having to wait to eat mine! I got OH 2 to make him feel better (or sicker!) and one is a Strawberry one which I don't like so that's not bothering me... the chocolate ones on the other hand...

Dinah93

Type the bounties into food focus - how does it affect your days target?

Oh, I don't think I'd be any good at fighting for stuff in a sale! I like quiet and refined. I actually have another option, which is looking legendary, but I need to see if the costs stack up!

Tete_en_l'Air

Well I've made myself an 8 calorie cup of mint tea. One half of the Bounty is 137 cals, would bring my remaining allowance to 576 and I don't know what we're having for tea. I'll not succumb but have one after tea. Resist them Birdie! If two are for OH and you eat the other one now, you'll be jealous of him later so leave yourself one for then!

Whatever you have up your sleeve sounds very intriguing!

Dinah93

Right, I'm sat here not eating my Graze strawberries and white choc mix because it is too calorific, you girlies are not good for my self control.

Birdie85

Sorry Dinah! Just think that your snack is a lot better than mine! I totally deserve the podge that I've developed recently!
