    So, inspired by El who read it on holiday, I'll plod on with Tim Hale

    Tim Hale is great - did you get the newer edition?

    You sit reading him, come up with your own investment ideas/tweaks and then he walks up to you, gives you a firm slap on the back of the hand and goes 'NO'! :rotfl:

    I have no idea how he manages it, must be omnipresent or summat... :D

    Congratulations on the weight loss. :T

    I have just been eating oranges, in an attempt to distract myself from wanting to eat chocolate. It doesn't work. :(

    Yes, got the newer one. 1/2 way through it but think I've worked out the ending :rotfl:. I need peace & quiet to read it and am finding it pretty boring :o.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Oooh I wish. That would mean going out in the cold and wet and then spending money, which helps me to resist. Wouldn't be able to resist it if there was one in the house, though. :o

    No, he's found a nice house :T.

    Off to bed, long day today and long day tomorrow :eek:.

    Now lost 8.5lbs this year - not up to HDK's standards, but not too shabby :T.

    :wave:

    Glad the boy's got it all sorted!

    Well done on the weight loss. I've only lost 2lb but at the hospital their scales had me at 2kg more than where I thought I was to start with, so completely fuddled and may not have lost anything at all! I wasn't at hospital for my weight but they do insist on you jumping on the scales!

    So what's your secret GG? All the running around you're doing? Speaking of which, hope today's long day wasn't too grotty!

    From something you said at some stage I don't think you do :o. And my target weight is still higher than some of the starting weights of the folks in the SW magazines :rotfl:.
