Rest up, easy in the knowledge that you'll never be plagued by acne and hanging around bus-stops again. Cider will never again be your tipple of choice. And, best of all, it's coming to them very soon (oh, how the days fly by!).

[/quote] I'm feeling doubly smug today as I was an a retro event last night. Most people dressed up, but it was us older boppers who DRESSED up. Whoever told these children that red lipstick with a Van Halen T-shirt elegance makes? Jaws dropped when I sashayed in - and mostly off the embryos. Ho ho! The secret is that us oldies have had time to study style and we've made our mistakes. And never again! [/quote]

Ra-ra skirts, leg warmers, multi-coloured leggings...........:eek:

Awwww bless ya Minnie! And Freebird is off to see the Scissor Sisters soon and is already plotting what to wear. All suggestions welcome! (If OH had his way I'd look permanently like La von Teese...he's even offered to purchase something expensive and frivolous from Rigby & Peller!:eek:

Up and at 'em, girl! [/quote]

Yikes! Don't remind me! Today's equivalent is bling.

Firstly, Scissor Sisters - the look is retro 70s/80s. But think Bianca Jagger rather than Elton John.

If the OH really, really wants to buy you something amazing from Rigby, flipping well let him! He owes you after his recent shenanigans!

Alternatively, if you want Minnie's secret site for uber-glam, PM me and I'll be happy to provide you with details. Very chi chi!

Bobbly - Don't you do a loopylou on us and keep us in suspense....please spill the beans on the date (just not down yerself!!)

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your interest. The dinner evening was lovely as I was having a hyper day, so did not stop talking all night.

Met for drinks yesterday, conversation wasn't exactly flowing and I'm not feeling the things I think I should be feeling, now the excitement of actually being asked out for a proper date has worn off. :undecided

Minnie - moment of smug grown-uppedness evaporated rapidly in Boots this evening....was looking for (cheap) items of make up (well, lipgloss and mascara which is about all I wear), when several young embryos in wonderbras (you know the type!) pushed past me impatiently and one tutted to her mate and hissed "Well, SHE needn't bother!". I looked at them and resisted the urge to tell them to call Trinny & Susannah!!

Grrr! These young whippersnappers, I'm sure I had more respect than that when I was a youth!

Awww Bobbly....sorry to hear that...still, let him take you out again just to make sure! Also, make sure housemate/landlord knows....a little jealousy may kick in . Although maybe best not to play there as it could get messy if it goes wrong!

Have lost another lb this morning (wooohoooo) so will be most well behaved and eagerly await next weigh-in. I dug up a picture of me in my late-20s on a deserted beach in Indonesia, funky tie-dye cozzie, sarong and hair bleached very blonde by sun & sea....oh and 9st!!! Copied it onto 'pooter next to one of me now.....not a pretty comparison and plenty incentive to do something about it!!!

Now......must PM Minnie about secret site as OH most interested and says he'll pay......:cool:

Coming up!

The bathroom scales say another 2lbs off this week! :T

The gym scales say 4lbs off! :j

Did I lose 2lbs walking to the gym this morning?
Which set is correct?
Do I ignore my own scales and stick to the more flattering gym scales?
Does it matter?

Programme updated this morning ready for a 6.30 session tomorrow morning. :eek:

Will keep you posted.

How's everyone doing? Anyone seen Batfink lately? I'd love to know if the weights are still helping him.

Good luck to all this week!

freebird65

Hey Minnie.......well done!!!:T

Why don't you take the average and say 3lb down??

Mine are down too - 2lb so far and weigh-in not till Tuesday :j :j so fingers crossed (and mouth taped!!!)

Am wasting time playing with matched betting.....not good for getting anything done!!

Not heard from Batfink......should we PM him and wave?

Well done to you too Freebird! Good effort! It's amazing how quickly those 2lbs mount up.

Maybe Batfink has done himself an injury and cannot type. Oh, I feel bad now...

He's probably busy fending off masses of girlies with that new toned physique!!

Oh, I see! As soon as the mass of girlies appears, he abandons the people who got him there!
