The boob, hip, bum and thigh fairies all visit me, but the one I like the least is the upper arm fairy (a side effect of the boob fairy but I still wish she'd fly off and bug someone else!)."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0

They've all visited me - the b00b fairy, the hip fairy, the ar$$e elf, the thigh gnome and the tummy goblin :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I pray for rainbows so they'll all bog off and look for gold :rotfl:
I have bizarrely tiny hands, wrists, feet and ankles though :rotfl:I find they're fitted in the wrong places too! I'm smaller on top and giant around my hips/thighs like a triange shape so find clothes shopping a nightmare and just end up getting everything in 2/3 sizes :rotfl: Not very MSEcharlie792 wrote: »Just checked the weather for the rest of the week - meant to be sunny and between 20-24 degrees here :j: Anyone going away for the long weekend?Hopefully I'll sleep all day on Sunday and not need to sleep on Monday.

My avatar's gone! Where's it gone? I've had it since April 2007, I don't want to have to get a new one

I realised that I had been a victim, as the nice curvy size 12 I had a few years ago was taken and replaced with a saggier, bigger version. Why didn't I call the police, I hear you ask? Because they had stolen my thighs and left me a cellulite scattered pair that matched the new bum. I hadn't even noticed because I couldn't see over the muffin top they had put in to hide the view.
I thought they had come back last night and stolen my b00bs, but when I sat up I realised they had just been hiding in my armpits. I'm keeping them tucked in my waist band for safety now.

Thanks for everybodys kind wishes, much appreciated
Been catching up on the last few days and have been inspired by Kaz's wardrobe-I'm going to have a clear out this weekend.
Have been a bit naughty this week and cracked open some nice new toiletries(before I have already finished some that are already open)... but was getting bored so it was either that or go on a binge in boots and figured that this was the best option

Forgot to say that DD went and washed herself last night with TBS shea butter body scrub because she didn't like the smell of the new radox coconut one. Told her I'd get a different shower gel out for her to use tonight and let her shop from the drawer. She chose her Christmas present the L'Occitane lavender shower gel. I said she could open her body lotion too if she wanted to have both the same smells on so she has. She's now in bed fast asleep and has been for an hour. DS took himself off to bed at 6pm as he fell asleep in his dinner. Poor little fella!
Oh we also have a hair and body wash in one of the Original source flavours so will be using that as shampoo before we open any more up.
Will just quickly ask though;
We have a just opened shampoo and the one hair and body wash. Do I get the boots hair offer now or wait for a couple of months? I know that when I bought the conditioner a while back it was 1/3rd off which is the same as 3for 2 so feel there ought to be another offer before we all need to buy shampoo again but don't really want to run out either. What should I do? When do you reckon the next offer will be on?Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
I would get it now so that it's there rather than risk running out before another offer:j0
