    I miss Tayto and King crisps from home and I am only across the water!

    Not long now Lara :)

    How are you Tete?

    My local ASDA has started selling Tayto in the 'foreign foods' ( :rotfl:) aisle.

    It has only taken 20-30 years, but better late than never! Check your local ASDA out. :)

    Yes, the Asda nearest us in Leyton sells Northern Irish Tayto yummmm! I never go there because if I have a multipack of Tayto in the house they're gone in about 3 days. Bizarrely there's some great ice lollies in Northern Ireland that I really miss. No chance of eating one at Christmas with this crazy weather. I'm going to be freezing at Heathrow with no coat :(

    I know Lara. I have King and Tayto in the house after being home at the weekend. I just devour them when they are in the house. They are like my guilty pleasure.

    You must be excited about trying on all the wedding dresses when you get home :)

    Happy Friday everyone else!

    I think I'm going to have to try these magical crisps that you're going on about!

    Happy happy Friday! I weighed myself this morning and another 2lb has dropped off! Whoop! I'm happy that some weight is actually coming off as I really have been punishing myself, think I overdid it on the leg press earlier in the week and my lower legs have been in agony ever since, I'm walking like John Wayne! I've still been slogging it out at the gym though... just been giving the leg press a wide berth! Speaking of wedding dresses, my first fitting is in 2 weeks!

    I'll check out your blog at some point in the day Dippy and let you know what I think!

  • All my Irish frieds go mad for Tayto and I just don't understand it - they're just like Walkers surely? ie, not even that nice? *runs for cover*

    Not doing too bad CMD, am off work today but getting up now to take granny shopping in the snow. Got lots of plans for this weekend but they involve driving quite far so I'm hoping I can still do them.

    Well done on the weightloss Birdie - do you feel any different? If you're exercising remember that muscle weighs more than fat so you've probably 'lost' mre than it seems.

    Will have a quick look at your site DK...

    I feel 'tighter' on my legs and bum and I can feel abs underneath the squishy layer on my belly! There are muscles appearing I just need to burn the fat off around them so they become noticable! My trousers definitely feel looser, but my hips don't seem to be going down very much, maybe (hopefully) they'll be next to go! The pressure is on to get down as much as I can before the wedding, I know if I'm still flabby by the time we go I'll regret it when I look back at the photos and wonder why I didn't work harder! I have no idea how I'm going to handle the Christmas season though! I'll be spending Boxing Day in the gym!

    Grrrr show off!!!! I can't wait for the day after the wedding; it'll be 'Mexican Night' at the hotel and I'm going to go mental and eat my own weight in empanadas, chilli and fajitas without worrying about my belly! Mmmmm I'm hungry already! :D Only 84 days now! :j And then of course I'll have to get back on the wagon to fit into this stupid too-small bridesmaid dress for July.... roll on August when I can finally let myself go! :rotfl:
