A new 'tougher' thread... and so it continues

OOH 3 for 2 on green baggies, great!! I've got a £5 off £20 spend voucher for Lakeland and need a new oven glove so was wondering what to buy to make up the difference.

Thank you!!

Maryb, I never seem to have any trouble spending money with Lakeland

I get really confused by all the advice on eating so I'm just going to cut back on crisps and wine and hope that does the trick!

Good thing I don't really like chocolate or I would be sooo much bigger (am I allowed to admit that?!)

Good evening all. Delurked on 30 December after reading all the tough threads for several years and realised today that I have carried on reading and haven't joined in as I vowed I would! Reading this thread is one of my daily must dos and I find it truly inspirational. As many other people have said the level of support and advice given is phenomenal and in many respects so much better than in real life. Will definitely be reading every day and will endeavour to post as often as possible. Best wishes to all.

Been mega busy today, bought storage for ds room and helped dad buy new dining table and build it.

Emptied ironing basket this evening too, although washing basket is full so not such an achievement:)

Eldest two back to college/school tomorrow so back to normality, and worse I have to mot big car tomorrow - hate it, worse than giving birth in my book!!!

Would like to do something with littlies tomorrow before they back to school weds, so hoping for dry day.

Byatt, if you can't see them, check your profile - go to the green menu bar at top of page, click on UserCP and look down the list on the left for Edit Options, and then Thread Display Options - you need a tick against Show Avatars

You've just said exactly what I was going to say.
I've already learned so much from you ladies (is it all ladies?!) on this thread, and I haven't given anything back yet. I'm very much an o/s newbie, and I can't sew or knit, and I hate gardening so I don't know if I'll be much good, but I'm going to try!
PS I don't iron either, must be at least 2 years since I ironed.

Fuddle I like your avatar too.

Mrs Chip I had a look at the link you posted and quickly read a couple of articles, thanks for posting. It is a very interesting blog. I read the one about sugars and remembered an article I read some time ago about cultures that don't consume much sugar. They had much lower levels of heart and stroke problems. I can't remember which countries but I think one was chile.
