    Not liking the sound of this diet, I'm always hungry! Can you not just have a raw food day or two instead?

    Procrastinators united eh? I've been good for once mind:A

    It's something about burning off the crap (as opposed to just painting it off white!) Not sure I'll be able to manage 2 days, think I'd have to get myself back into the mental place I was in my teens (and that was mental and ended at not much over six stone!)
    Maybe not the best

    Some of the bits I've been reading about it suggest not to do two days in a row more to do a kinda carb cycling ... That's what I'm currently thinking of :)

    I thought the essential part was how quick they move. You can eat them raw.

    It *will* stop - quite abruptly - if that bearing goes.
    That is why I need it sorting.


    Is there a non-crappy brown cow pat?
    No, I think they are all pretty much s**t coloured with a hint of green

    Can I just tell you Mr Z. Your posts are really funny, they are a real tonic (with no gin because it makes me weep hysterically!)

    Is it easy to cycle on a couple of loaves of bread? Aren't they the wrong shape? :D

    You don't have the days together El, that is what I didn't say.

    Today has not been a bad day ( I also didn't say that!) I went to see one of my major creditors 'THE BANK OF DAD'. He has given me 6 months grace and then took me out for lunch. I don't remember Gnat West ever doing this!!

    No. Not even vaguely on the same planet as the best.

    You "can" eat vegetables raw. "Can" is not the same as "will". That's why the fondue set was invented...

    What a lovely Dad :)

    He has his moments. Christmas day I suspect he'll be having one of the other kind and upsetting people! But I think he can see I'm trying. Possibly very trying!

    The diz daggy journey to debt recovery continues. Suspect mine isn't going to be an A. Shedloads of debt to B. No debt at all whatsover. Currently debating whether I can stand to not talk to you all every evening and make a £20 or so saving on fitting broadband to the rented property.

    (Currently also debating whether I am going to strangle that woman's whimpering for effect child in the library who won't shut up!) :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Some of you will be aware that I had a wee trip overseas at the weekend to the Emerald Isle. Very nice, didn't rain, bl**dy freezing. I would like to say I went a bit mad but I don't know whether I did. The clothes budget was blown out of the water;
    1 black red panel dress £45
    1 purple skirt £25
    1 black skirt £15
    2 pairs of tights £14
    Hamish Macbeth boxed set £3.99 (charity shop:D)

    Total £103 :eek:

    However having said that I think I can safely say that is it and I don't need to buy anything else. I didn't buy the £60 dress about a month ago, I am wearing the purple skirt today and I will probably be wearing it again tomorrow. Just means less will be paid off the debt this month. Sure my dad would love to know this!:o

    Just one query before I go, cos I'd love to know people's views on this. Shared a room with my friend at the weekend and consumed plenty of :beer:. On the last morning she was leaving before me. I went to the toilet on the ground floor because I was fairly sure I was about to produce a disaster. Having had me tell her I was going to the loo downstairs she then used our bathroom to produce a smell so toxic it couldn't even be sealed in with that accident gaffer tape and a couple of padlocks. She said 'Sorry for the smell in the bathroom' and then left.

    Is it me? Is this acceptable behaviour in everyone else's book?

    Felt like apologising to the maid on the way out.

    ha ha ha ha ha ha oh butti where else could she have done it? if you were in one room creating a smell and she had probably held it in for about 10 years ( by your description of the smell)

    you sound like you got some good bargains at the weekend atleast which is good :)
