    I know :mad: They used to be called January sales for a reason :rotfl: Its an annual thing me and Mum does now so I wouldnt give it up but all thats left is the tat no one wants :rolleyes: I am sure we can hunt some nice things out. There isnt much on my list I want only a new diary, christmas cards, a sugar thermometer, yankee tarts and a sealed tin. I am sure I can find some of that at least.... we will soon find out only 7 days till our birthday :T I hope you enjoyed the chocs, bit early but as long as you enjoyed them :D


    They are delicious...and I have banned any other little or large hands in this house from eating them :D:T They are Mine all MINE :rotfl:

    Im sure we can find some nice bits in the Jan sales :) Although tbh this year I shall probably squirrel the money away as an emergency fund :rolleyes:
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    I decided not to get a new lappy - I can get one through disabled students allowance, so it's just a luxury really. Whereas a new pair of jeans and slippers were more of a neccessity (my old jeans are waaay too big, and don't look right with a belt, the front's all bunched up). I need to stop looking at sales though, I keep getting tempted by short skirts and shorts, and there's no way I can pull that look off!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    :rotfl: I agree, those chocs should be all for the reciever. There are some chocs you just cant share :T Ohhh I agree Sally, I want this debt gone more than 'stuff' this year so it will be the bare min.

    14/14 Sally, from 22/24 :T I am still quite big compared to the weight on the scales though. But I dont ever think I will be tiny just because of the shape of my frame. That coat you sent fits me now, the shirt not so but I think its because thats fitted. Its much easier to find second hand stuff in this size though, more on ebay ;)

    Ahhh I understnad Ames, as long as you can get online and it works thats all that matters. My lil bro keeps bugging me because my PC is anceint but it still works. Once its broken I will then get a new one... I understand what you mean with buying whats needed :rolleyes: Stop looking though it will only tempt you even more :rotfl:

    Merry Christmas Eve Everyone

    Pap - your weight loss is amazing! Wayne and I are starting a healthy eating plan in the new year, so I'm eating chocolates and crisps whilst I can.

    are we all sorted for Christmas? Evie has a massive pile of pressies, so many that I'm actually glad I bought some thank you cards in preparation! I might end up with an RSI for having to write so many notes though ;)

    Aww bless, she sounds lovely. Dont send anything special though, I will be fine plus I hope I dont stop at this size :o I think thats the problem with yoyo dieters, costs a fortune. I have just put my clothes away ready for tomorrow and I put that nice black and white skirt on. It doesnt fit :mad: Well it does if I stick my stomach out. That has now been gifted to Mum :D

    Brother has just gome out and peace has been restored :j I love him dearly but he is like a tornado and leaves destruction in his path :rolleyes:

    Cat good luck with that. Get rid of all the junk now and then you have no need to worry. I know new year weight loss is so common but if you are ready to do it then you will. I am not looking forward to the new year as I have to refeed in a few months... Ummm great... Hope milk monster has a fabby christmas....

    Sally - have a glass of whisky with honey and lemon to help fight off the cold! my gran used to have a drop of whisky in her tea each morning (a 70cl bottle would last all year, so not a lot of whisky) and she only had a handful of colds. But each time she had a cold she'd have a whisky, honey and lemon at night as well and the cold would go in a couple of days! At least that was her excuse and she stuck to it!!!
