    Yep the bit of fabric is for the sample bits. She wasn't happy as some of the girls had got chiffon or stretchy polyester things, so get cotton!

    New woman is kind of easily distracted but friendly enough.

    Congrats to your friend Wendz - Little boys are so sweet!

    Glad your OH got home okay last night Flower, sorry to hear you're under the weather. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you about the interview, I'm sure you did great though!

    Thought I'd just pop on before I get on with todays reviews! I'm starting up a rewards system, for each review I finish I get a malted milk biscuit. This reward system isn't working too great as I've already eaten 2 and haven't even started one review yet. S'all about trial and error, right?

    Lol I love malted milk biscuits. If I'm not mistaken they're not horrendous on the calorie stakes either?

    Not sure if I ever officially said I'm doing the challenge...

    Starting weight: 9 stone 11lbs
    Starting bmi: 21.5
    Starting height: 5ft 7"

    Goal weight at end: 8 stone 11lbs
    Ending bmi: 19.3
    Ending height: 5ft 7".

    no idea on my measurements!

    Overall I want to get down to 8 stone 7 lbs and a bmi of 18.7, but thats more than a stone so might not be part of this challenge.

    haha Cinny sounds like what I would do. I might write a review later this afternoon if I get the chance. We still have loads of work to do but Friday afternoons are laid back. I am in on my own on Monday in our little team arghh, probably spend the whole day answering the phone. The girl I work closely with handed in her resignation today so will be interesting to see what happens as we have an employment freeze and we are dropping people like flies.

    Glad your OH survived the night Flower and sorry to hear you're not well. Fingers crossed about the job - what job is it?


    Job was just another retail job but with more contracted hours than i have now, and the strong possibility of it being full time hours over the christmas period - its in a card and gift shop, so should be super busy over christmas!

    Dinah, I did get cotton, didn;t fancy battling with lycra or whatever!

    Cinny, if you are reviewing the biscuits then it's only sensible to double check the taste. I don't think I know what a malted milk biscuit is?

    Dinah can't believe your end haight is the same as your start one - I though you liked a challenge! Hehe.

    Oh Wendz, sounds like a nightmare. I hate answering other people's phones - the person on the other end always say "Well, maybe YOU can help me...." and proceeds to explain their issue for five minutes before you can say "No, sorry, you'll really have to speak to Helen tomorrow" Gah!

    ETA - and you might get some good discounts Flower!

    I know, I should be more ambitious!

    Latest honeymoon dream. Found a nice trip for 10 days on the intrepid explorer website in cuba, £660 each, followed by 7 days on a nice beach with some snorkelling before coming home?! No idea how much the 7 days on a beach or the flights would cost mind.

    Cuba's amazing you should book it now! :) Does it include Havana?
    I think I may have mentioned this before (:rolleyes:) but my dream honeymoon is safari - I'd have the most basic wedding imaginable if it meant I could go and see the animals afterwards!
