    Sal - Yay for OH getting interview....has he had it yet?
    Z - only the very stupid would take on a tribe of hormonal women.....Namely my dad ( 6 women and him when we were growing up, I think he's glad some of us were tomboys or liked watching to see how long it would take for the PC to blow up...happy days)
    Becky - keep the 6 for going out, get another one for work maybe?
    scaredy - you are not going through the change, you got lucky.
    I apologise for my very bad short term memory - the one who is the same height as the Waterman lollipop thing - you will only look that bad if you lose too much, i.e. like she did.
    rictus - Pint usually goes to bed for 10:30 - sometimes 11 and is up 630 most mornings.

    I have my timed assessment tomorrow, then a seminar where I'm told another mark *wibble* then Weds it's off the tablets to let the red army invade (warning to sainsbury's choc supplies) and then to see if they can fit the thingy Monday - Pint is going to hate me - what is it with men and when they can't have it, they want it more and wind you up even more day after day. Oh ,and I'm now a level 7 farmer on Farmville - it is addictive

    Oh God! How can that woman say she likes her kid being fat! The poor child! And the one with 39% body fat, that's more than me! Oh, and the kid who weighs 8 and a half stone, my ideal weight is half a stone more than she weighs now!

    i don't eat alot - as in what is usually portrayed by the 'fat' programmes : 4 mcdonalds a day, 6 bags of crisps, 4 bars of chocolate plus over portioned meals....

    i know i eat too many of the wrong things like today i had 2 slices of buttered toast, a cherry scone & butter, 6 biscuits, dinner (chilli, sweet pot wedges, butternut squash) about 6 chocolates and a blueberry muffin.

    i don't think that was very excessive, but i could have done without the chocs, biscuits and scone!
