    The prize won't be a cream cake :rotfl:

    DH would look ridiculous if he was the right BMI. He will be happier losing what he has planned. As we had a few family issues in the last quarter of 2011 both of us stopped exercising like we used, but still ate the same. It doesn't seem to take long for the lbs to add up. Anyway, I will chat to your virtual training buddy and he can hijack my diary ec.

    Best wishes Tilly x

    A £10 credit will land this month on my broadband bill, after I claimed that I should have received a £10 HMV voucher when I first signed up.. I would not have bought anything from HMV (too expensive, cheaper elsewhere online), so a credit on my bill suits me better.. :D

    Hi Froggy

    Just catching up again...

    My DH is 6' 4" and although not overweight, he too would look silly at ideal BMI (in fact when he was younger, he did look very skinny), just loose enough for you to feel comfortable.

    Well done with the broadband credit etc...

  • My family members are all over 6ft and it seems im dwarfed on here too! *goes to sulk at only being 5"9

    A credit on the account is always better than a voucher, you can guarantee the thing you want is more than the voucher lol

  • Morning, I think you may be motivating me to have a go. The kids keep asking and I have resisted, but I will be booking to have a go this weekend.

    Well done on the result.

    That's great news Froggy, like you I'd much prefer this solution rather than the voucher for a pricey shop

    Hiya ATT / Guid Eenin Froggy,

    I leave the planet for a couple of weeks and am disparaged in my absence. I'll have you both know that, in these times of economic turmoil, redundancies, however false, are nothing to be joked about. They may, allegedly, be something to be lied about but it's no laughing matter - some of us are really suffering through here!

    I'll also have you both know that my deeply principled approach to 2012 means that I am deeply ashamed of my (again, alleged) actions in late 2011. These wraught feelings are to some extent counterbalanced by my most recent scamming of Tesco mobile..but that wasn't really my fault as it was an accidental moneysaving introduced by them.

    Consider yourselves appropriately chastised!

    Cheers - and Happy New Year to you both,

    Billy

    Hmm, Billy, I don't know that 'allegedly' can be used here, did you not tell us what you did in writing for all to see ;) Nonetheless, well done on your MSE tactics!

    I've applied too and they rang me yesterday to check a few details, am assuming it will all go through soon?
