    why not hold off till the house sale goes through then LT?


    No tarot tonight, was going to bed early but got caught up reading an article in the mail about the leper colony near the Bronx in the early 1900s. There was photos of how the buidlings look now and it reminded me a lot of Bangour village (which is near where I stay). It shut down about 10 years ago now and I like going for walks there to clear my head. Its used a lot for tv and film (the most famous being 'The Jacket').

    Morning All, just paid £2 to the Beast. Having three 6's in a row was freaking me out! :o Signature all updated.



    Now I did a silly thing last night. I measured my waist. In my mid 20s it was between 29-30 inches........... its now 36 inches! :eek: I think that's the product of too many munchies and not enough exercise. I started keeping a food diary a few weeks ago and was allowing myself 1800 calories a day but might cut that down to 1700. I have seen a difference in the last few weeks but more around my ribs rather than anywhere else. I can be my own worst enemy, if i have a cup of tea I have to have a couple of biscuits, soup well it has to be a few slices of bread with it etc....

    I think this year I really need to take charge of my money and my health.


    .........oh i nearly forgot........Egg/BC confirmed is

    0.00 !!!!!!!!! :j:j:j:j

    Dragon - thank you, nice to see you here again. How are you?

    Nora - Loving the avatar! :D

    LT - I'm keeping a diet on fatsecret.com it ties in with my mobile so I can update it where ever I am. It doesn't help having a mother who is a perfect size 8! She seems to forget that before she had me she struggled with her weight.

    excellent. Was it for yourself or someone else D? It'll certainly come in handy with the colder weather.
