    Yes, indeedy fancy meeting a stalker or two......we will be making a long weekend of it, providing we get our acts together and sort out reasonable accommodation.....we shall be picking your brains shortly I think. I will speak to P when I get back and start formulating some sort of plan!

    I can recommend you a very good, although not THAT cheap, B&B just a short bus ride from the centre if that's any help Hypno. I've stayed there myself many times and can vouch for it being a lovely place to stay. Let me know.

    My DH calls my epilator my "oh bu&&er !!!!" machine as that's all he hears when I'm using it. :rotfl:

    I probably shouldn't admit this on a public forum but I really do quite like the pain of it :D .....I'll get my coat.

    Yeah, I can kinda identify with BOTH the points you make there. :o One bit of advice for anyone epilating - do NOT get out of the habit of doing it just because it is winter and you'll not be getting your legs out much - it is twice as painful when you go back to it! :eek: (I'm speaking from extremely recent experience!)

    Safe journey back Hypno - hope you make it in time for the match tomorrow. xx

    I am trying to get together the courage to have my underarms done too.....as yet I have been far too chicken. But I will hopefully overcome my fear before summer arrives!

    For those that find waxing painful, just take a couple of paracetamol about half an hour beforehand.....just takes the edge off it apparently.

    Underarms is nothing, it's the Brazilian bit that's the most pain :eek:

    Pooky you are right, there is something quite satisfying about the pain. Especially if you deaden it with a glass of wine.

    I 'decluttered myself' a few days ago so have high hopes of a decent weight loss at SW next week :o
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Um maybe I am odd because as I said earlier I found it better the other way around :o

    I've been "decluttering" a few sweet leftovers from Christmas this evening :o WHY can't I just chuck 'em in the bin instead of my gob? :mad:

    Good luck with SW Gally - I've lost 2lbs this week - think that's why I've been a bit slack, I can only do it for a week or two, then get bored.

    Safe journey home Hypno x

    I don't envy Hypno the overnight drive. I can't do it as I'd just fall asleep.

    Safe and speedy journey and hope you're back and early and awake enough to enjoy the match.
