  • I'm in, I was going to continue anyway. If I can lose another stone that'll take me to 9st6, well under 10 stone which was my initial target and skinny enough for a six footer I think!

    I don't get the rhyming comment though Dinah?

    Zig, they were good ones! I've done all those things except the ice cream one! I have done the Pringles one though!

    I will probably go for 10 lbs by christmas. Will take me down to 9 and a half which is where i want to be.

    I love I have never .... well the rude version haha. Funniest ever game was in freshers week at uni when someone did i have never slept with someone i live with and two of my flat mates drank... i didn't get it till someone told me. They are still together now though and have just bought a house together!

    Here is a facebook topic that came up when I googled 'I have never'. Some good ones on there.

    When does the new challenge start? 1st Oct? I need to lose 2.5 stone. Very depressing. :o

    ETA - Tete, when you picked up a coin that was stuck to the floor was anyone watching?!

    Afternoon ladies,

    I will definitely be on board with the new challenge. I started a week or so late to the first one and was just starting a new job, so took me a while to settle in to routine and not come across as too goody-goody when they held a welcome lunch and a seemingly never-ending supply of cakes and biscuits!

    I think I've mastered it now though, even though probably will only have lost about 8 lbs or so... But would be good to get to 9 stone (preferably under!) before I go on safari so I don't mind there being pictures of me!

    I'm sure someone will know about normal custom charges in the Ugg thread, Zig?

    OhMiGosh, I feel so stupid! I spent ages not using my laptop because the touchpad didn't work. Decided to try it again today after 3 months of not using it and it turns out what I did was somehow press the 'mousefreeze' button. Seriously!

    Oh dear Cinny, that's too daft to admit to! Mind you when I first got my old laptop I couldn't get it to connect to the wireless hub, I was going insane, tears and everything because *nothing* worked- I hadn't flicked the wireless switch on! D'oh!

    I'm gutted that you had an ASOS 20% off code! I ordered a bikini from there last night! D'oh again!

    I'm so tired I can't even remember what you guys have been saying today so I'll just say hello and goodbye and you're all doing well! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
