    Well done on all the weight loss Cinny you're a total machine - are you really seeing the difference?

    I am! I really want to share my 'during' progress photos but sweet blueberry muffins I look like Jabba the Hutt in the starting one!

    Celery really is a love it or hate it veggie. I love it! When we went to TGI Fridays a couple weeks back we ordered boneless wings to start and I was more interested in the celery :o But then OH tried some to see what the fuss was and totally hated it.
  • Thanks Dinah, have been printing a few off GoodFood anyway.

    What Christmas presents are you making Starnac?

    Oh I'm dying to see pics Cinny, the more Jabba-esque in the before ones the better surely, so you look super skinny in the afters?!

    My October Goals:
    Make 4 Christmas Presents
    Make 4 Christmas cards
    Lose 4lbs
    Write 4 reviews and try to get back onto the voucher-earning bandwagon!
    ETA: Knock 1 thing off my Day Zero list

    Achieving 4 of something doesn't seem too daunting so I'm sticking with it! :)
    Birdie - does the HP lanyard allow you to apparate on the other side of the door without actually having to use your pass?! ;)

    Teehee! I wish! Sadly my wand doesn't seem to work either... must be doing something wrong! :rotfl:

    I've PM'd you links and bits! The start one just gets more and more horrific for me, even if I don't look like that anymore.

    I like the theme of things in 4 Birdie! I'm sure you'll be able to do it no problem. What a pain about your laptop though :( Mine and OH's konked out recently too.

    Hi Minnime, of course you can, it's great to meet you. You deserve admiration for being able to keep up with them tbh! Report to Poolie, he runs initiation rituals in the man cave :D

    Just been having a look at laptops (because why would I be working?!) and the best one in our price range just happens to only be available in pink, other colours are more expensive, I didn't even engineer that to happen! OH doesn't believe me though. :o

    Hey everyone!

    Dinah - I really do admire your determination in these threads. And all that soup! I have a craving coming on!

    Birdie - Glad to see you back and it sounds like you had an amazing time!

    Cinny - Where did you get your copy of the Jillian Yoga meltdown (or whatever its called) dvd? All the one's I've found are American only.


    No real news here. Didn't get the first job I went for but it was a complete shambles to be honest. The second interview went a lot better but then again, I think they want someone with a bit more practical experience. The whole thing has made me reconsider my chosen career. So now I'm looking at all types of graduate schemes too.

    Need to keep track of the pennies from now till Christmas. All of a sudden I am in my overdraft like 2 weeks into the month whereas before I was only going in by like a £ or 10 at the end of the month. Don't know where it's all going!
