Sharloid is there any reason why No-S wouldn't work for you? Could you save your baking for the weekend?I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)

Congratulations bramble1 :j you must be feeling fantastic fitting into previously non-fitinaable clothes. I think that's the thing I'm looking forward to - getting the big bag of 'haven't fitted me for a couple of years' clothes down from the loft.
Had a good weekend, lots of walking and lots of cleaning the gunky windows/frames/sills and washing the manky curtains when DS was at work yesterday. Must've burned of millions of calories!
Bought some salad seeds from W!lk0$ - 2 lots for £1.96. will sow them this week. According to the pack, I will see results after just 2 weeks! Not holding out much hope as I seem to be the Typhoid Mary of the gardening world!

Hi All
Can I join you?
I have put on just too much weight over the years, It is now time to do something about it.
I have 2 dogs, so I walk a lot (between 1 and 2 hours a day).
I do have an underactive thyroid and am on thyroxine daily for this.
I need to cut out the takeaways, and cook more from scratch with healty foods, no excuses I just got lazy.
I would appreciate any support and encouragement as I need to lose about 5 stone (70 lbs) ouch!!!0 -

Pear turned into a plum when I opened the bag. To be fair, it was probably a plum the whole time.
