    Just back from my first sports massage course. My word, but it's a whole different kettle of fish from Swedish! *Removes little Swedish fish from the ornamental pond at the back of her thread and replaces with big, muscley bruisers*

    You should see the homework packs we've been given! :eek:

    Other than that, cheesed off to the max with work and have spent some money today that I possibly shouldn't have done. :o

    Back from work and managed to get myself a bargain pair of boots I've had my eyes on for ages: they should have been £150, but I got them from £47.50. Bargain! :T

    And yes, that is the last time I'll be buying anything for a VERY long time! :o:p

    Hi Pickle,

    Lol re. invisibility cloak (never got the hang of the quote thing on here) but I do just have to dress to hide my shape at the mo. :o You looked fab at the meet and am sure that you don't need to lose any weight :D

    Your massage courses sound really interesting and also relaxing - but I suppose that is if you are the one being massaged? What is it that you are looking to do a PHD on if you don't mind me asking?

    :jFor bargainous boots! Hope work has been a bit better for you x

    A fabby bargain Ms Pickle - well done and cherish them because, as you say, no further purchases for a long time :)

    Swedish massage - could you open a 'parlour' in Ikea!

    Dedicated, surely that is the whole point of dressing, whatever your size? At the end of the day, I am a rounder hourglass figure than I should be, but an hourglass figure I am, and if I dress as though I were a brick or a noodle, I would look shocking even if I were a size 0 (NEVER going to happen! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:).

    And, oooh, you fibber! :p At the memoryday I had been up til 3 the morning before and was imbibing coke (the drink, peeps, not anything else! :eek: :rotfl:) to keep me going, and I am waaaay beyond what my natural statistics should be, but I will have to deal with that some other time, cos there's too much going on here at the minute to focus on that as well! ;)

    The massage courses are really interesting - this sports one looks like it could be really, really interesting - and if I'm ever daft enough to do a PhD (shoot me if I ever suggest it!), it would most likely be French literature (yes, that again!), or maybe film. But I think that I would have to go back again and do another Masters to qualify. In any case, it's just to see what the procedure would be if I were to go that direction, rather than a 'Ooooh, this is what I want to do with the rest of my days' thing. (That and a really good excuse to meet up with a good friend for dinner. :D) We shall see...

    And :j :j to the boots: was going to buy them before Christmas at £75, which still wouldn't have been a bad discount. There are few advantages to my job, but that's one of them! :D :cool:

    What kind of 'parlour'? :eek:

    Gotta be careful when using the terms 'massage' and anything else together - there are lots of, *coughs* "masseuses" out there! :eek: :o :rotfl:
