    send me a microwave pressure cooker pls :D....

    been coveting one all weekend :)

    E

    Hi Erme, I'm actually looking for a Microwave bed, like they issue to the Army, that way you can get 8 hours sleep in 40 minutes. :rotfl:

    I think Niddy could do with one. I'm glad to get the chance to chat with you. Sorry to hear you are having a hard time, the folks on here are great support and inspiration. Its true what they say about strenght in numbers. We have all been in our own dark place at times. Some of us more than others. I find chatting on here great therapy. (It would cost a fortune to get this private). So if you ever need to have a rant or a chat feel free. ( I'm also part Jock).

    About the coffee, I have drunk @ 20 cups a day from being 16 and I still havent had a heart attack. I used to take 2 Pro - Plus and then sleep for 6 hours, and I still have 3 cups between 7.30 and 9 each morning before starting work. Maybe I'm immune or just a disaster waiting to happen!:) They say 3 cups a day stops altzhiemers, well my ma used to drink as much coffee as me and now she's in a home.
    Cant trust what the experts say?

    Best wishes, take care of yourself, we are here for you if you need us. Handyman.

    Hi everyone
    Handy - you are so right, we are the samaritans of DFW.....

    Erme - if you need a rant, moan, complain, chat or just some sympathy, we're here;)

    Busy old day on here today I can see, Numpty, you are, as always a star:A, even if your;) mum doesn't think so at the moment.

    3Dogs - hope Bonnie's paws are starting to calm down a bit, poor little soul:(. Did you go to SW this evening? If so, how did it go? Oh and any news on your posh frocks yet?

    Off to do my NSD update now, might just go and give Wilma a kick up the bum as well while I'm here..

    Back later
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Well time for handy to sign off, but before I go is it the waether? (bad spell of weather) Hormones, High Pollen Levels, Time of the Month, Moon Phase or what? So many of us seem to be having a hard time with our OH's. Mrs Handy says she's an MSE widow. It didnt help yesterday at the Car Boot listening to 2 old Geezer's on the stand next door going on about there American Internet Fiances, who the hadn't met yet. I have tried to explain that I only exchange witty banter with the folks on NTN7 but to hear her go on you would think its an orgy.

    I have just finished the edited version Part 1 of my next George story. I will try to get it ready for tomorrow.

    Good night to all, Niddy good work mate, lets hope it stays quite while you finish the next part.

    :beer: Cheers Handy.

    OK - is it just me or is that pic just a little pervey .....?


    Evening Handy and Spoon - usual suspects still on-line I see :D

    Spoon - I'm at a loss as regards SW - when we found out about our holiday, I stopped having any treats on Monday nights and really tried hard to lose as much as I could before 25th July - since then I have lost 1 lb, stayed the same, and then gained 1/2 lb - total in 3 weeks = loss of 1/2 lb !!!!:mad: Since May 2008, it took me 3 weeks to lose 1/2 st, another 5 weeks to 1st, 5 weeks to 1 1/2 st, 7 week to 2 st, 8 weeks to 2 1/2 st, 13 weeks to 3 st, 39 weeks to 31/2 st, and, 27 weeks later, still 3 lbs short of 4 st loss !!

    Don't get me wrong, if I had stopped going, I know I would have put it all back on and then some, but I follow the plan properly. I know my Monday night treats had built up, but I do allow for some of them anyway in my treats during the week. I do have the problem that I can rarely exercise due to arthritis, etc., but going to try to do so from tomorrow

    I did ask a doctor sometime last year if any of my medication could hinder my weight loss, but they did not really want to know. I think I will have to see my registered doctor (you can see anyone at our practice and it is not easy to see one particular doc) and ask him 'cause so many people say that some anti-depression meds lead to weight gain so perhaps I have been stopping weight gain rather than losing weight, if you see what I mean? I did change to stronger meds a year or so ago - might check that out soon. I already have to take extra meds due to symptoms caused by long-term use of strong pain killers, so I know that meds can mess your system up.

    OOOOOooops - that's another one of my geet long posts!! Sorry !!

    P.S. Bonnie has settled down tonight - either from the collar or the cream - don't actually care which one as long as she gets better :)

    Can't wait for the next instalment Handy

    I checked in on Niddy' new thread - with his reserved pages!! I think he may need to do part 5 by the time he puts all his guides/templates on part 4. And although the thread consisted of 60 pages of 'reserved page - do not post', he has still had almost 160 hits!!

    Yeh 3 Dogs, one of the hits was mine as well, I guess there are plenty of folks looking in on our Nidds to see how he's doing. I must put a bid in for that microwave bed for him.:)

    Cheers handy.

    Hi 3Dogs
    Glad Bonnie's paws are a bit better, she must be more comfortable, hopefully.

    What a b00ger about the weight loss - maybe you're just slowing down because you've lost such a lot already? - it does happen. Might be worth trying some treats again on Monday to seek if it kick starts your system again? I know some meds do either make you put on weight or stop any weight loss, but you've done so well up until now that it's a bit strange really.... Must be really annoying though as you've been so good over the last couple of weeks:mad::mad::mad:

    Handy - look forward to the next instalments..

    Niddy - good luck with your new thread:T:T:T

    Off to bed now, 1.30 already:eek::eek:

    'night 3Dogs and anyone else still around

    Morning everyone! Just having ten mins away from the new and revised thread! Me, well I think it looks better and will be easier to navigate (but then I would say that!)....

    It'll be ready before I go to bed so can't have too many breaks eeek! Also on the lookout for trolls, but they may get some leeway tonight cos this takes priority so i'm relying on felow trollzappers (far and wide) to come help out :D:D

    Niddy's new Unenforceability Thread (part 4) is here: Unenforceability & Template Letters IV what do you guys think to it?

    Have a nice night, i'll be back before I head home at 6am (ish) :D
    :o 2010 - year of the troll :o

    Niddy - Over & Out :wave:
