    Snags.....slow cooker for SW.....good, skirt for when you are slimmer....shoes...can't think of a reason so who cares...:rotfl:

    I knew there was a reason I loved you! :T :D


    The shoes are very versatile I think, sort of beige/nude in colour, high heels and I think maybe 1940's inspired. They go beautifully with my new skirt, but I didn't realise that till I got home.

    Slow cooker - Mr Sunday has one, and I was looking at his slow cooker recipe book. Soooo many nice things you can make in a couple of easy steps (and, er, I finally found one that matches my other appliances... :o).

    Yes but we're all in debt and trying to repay it SRM. Forking out isnt always an option :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Yes hun, going to go back to SW. If I didnt have the family, CD would be perfect for me, but DD is at an impressionable age, and it wasnt doing her any good watching me live on soups and shakes. Plus, I couldnt bare to sit and watch them eat.

    I've been eating so much rubbish since I stopped CD, I dread to think what the scales would say :o

    I'm glad it's working for you though. You'll soon have your next doll :T

    Spud, see thats where I am fortunate. Ok Mum didnt exactly like the idea and still buy my treats (although I dont eat them) but overall I only have to please myself. I think if I had a daughter or was around anyone that it could effect it would be a different kettle of fish and I would be doing excercise/cal counting. I am very lucky to be able to do and afford this.

    Ahh but getting it out your system is good. You will then be raring to go when you start SW. If I got SW or WW it would be fab but I cant do the whole points counting, it just is a bit 'weird'. But you know it works for you, you have been sucessfull before and you will do again :TI hope everyone keeps us updated on loss' here too :D
    PAP, how much more do you have to lose before you get your next doll? is it another 30lb?

    SS, yes 30lb more till my next although I am 6lb into that already. There are 6 dolls in the set I have one here, Mabel is the next that leaves 4. So I am planning 30lb till Sonny, 30lb till the next and then I only have 53lb to go! So I am planning 30lb for the next and then once I get to goal (the last 23lb) I will get the final. Thats if I dont stop before because I feel I would get too skinny :rotfl: Just keep plodding :j
