It's funny how companies pay millions in advertising, and then get a characterless drone to front the shop.

I'm a bit ocd about really good service. I still report it to managers. I do it just in case it rewards the service provider. I think the AA give the person a financial gift on their third good service report. I like the idea of saying thank you.

blob shape

God hates me.

I have been a blob. TBH when it comes to weight, I have run the full gamut. From malnutrition to fifteen stone and back again.

That's my range too. At the top end am still hourglass, but more like two blobs stuck on top of each other.

I'm an hour glass....just more hours then I want to be, lol.


I've been googling dresses to day. DH very sweetly washed a dress for me a while ago....and shrunk it. In that its the same width..or wider, but wear it skimmed my ankles its now mid calf length. I need anp0ther dress that I can pull on at any time of year in the day time, without having shaven legs and be ''done'' with a bit of lippy.

That was wageslave sans two small extremely expensive children.

And before she felt the slightest need to research private health care.

I am never again, as long as I live, doing A&E with a sick child in her dressing gown and a blanket on a Saturday night.

I do still browse pret-a-thingy just to torture myself

Why am I paying more into a system that is delivering less and less?

Ah, a question I can answer! The previous govt. pumped loads of dosh into the NHS but didn't regulate where it went. A large part went on increasing wages. That's why you now see newspaper reports of GPs earning £200k. My brother got a new contract (as a hospital consultant) that tightened up his contractual hours, but he was doing loads of non-contractual hours before, so he worked the same amount. He got an overnight 50% pay increase to compensate him for the new contract. Scandalous, really.

I have settled for semi-starvation, it is literally the only way I can stay slim.

I obsessively count calories and am consumed with guilt if I eat over twelve hundred a day.

Where is this average woman who can eat 2000 and maintain her weight?

She isn't living in my house

I cba anymore. I can eat 1200 calories and put on weight, I can eat 2000 and lose weight. It all depends on what I'm up to. If I can be bothered walking into town, I lose weight because I have to walk up a punishingly steep hill. If I stand up at the library all day, I lose weight because it can actually be quite hard work. If however I'm at home and not doing much, I don't eat much and still put weight on. So now I don't bother to calorie count and try to stay active instead. You're probably far skinnier than me though!

I'm finding these hourglass and blob shapes difficult to picture.

Photos please. :):)

Caveat. of you - not a real hourglass or blob.
