    Part of me knows this, but I've been messing around with my weight for about 3 months, but I guess I'm still not back to my normal self (Guess I've been ill for about 4 months) so hopefully it'll sort itself out.

    I love getting another star! I do need to up my exercise, I just can't find the motivation!

    I am sorry that you are feeling down today. Twenty three pounds isnt going to break the bank and we all need little treats now again! It isnt like we are in prison and have to serve a penance.

    I think we will all get to our debt free dates eventually but I dont think we have to deny oursleves absolutely everything! I hope not as I want to be a mfw eventually and that will take me forever!!

    Hmm, is there nothing that you could do with your boyfriend, maybe tennis or (yikes!) squash? These are not sports I would ever consider myself, far too exerting, but some people like them! Or with your mum/a friend - dancing/aerobics/boxercise? If there are two of you you're more likely to stick with it as neither will want to let the other down.

    My Boyfriend plays rugby, runs and cycles. So I am sure I could talk him into getting me fit.

    My Mother is not into exercise and while my best friend would love to she lives an hour away which means it's not really practical.

    I have some exercise DVD's at home, so I might try and get into a routine with them while Mum is on holiday and see if that makes any difference. Might also see if OH wants to go on a bike ride on Sunday (will promise to make a nice meal for him!)

    Mmmm... I love watching...

    Still not sure about the 10 inch stud scar running down his leg! His Mum hasn't seen it yet and is probably going to go ape!

    But will talk him into getting me fit. But I am NOT training with the rugby boys!!!!

    Lol, my fella used to play rugby too and is covered in random scars from stray feet. Unfortunately though, he also ran and played for a football team, he went in for a tackle and messed up his knee.

    So he had a knee reconstruction and can't play anything like that now. So he goes boxing trainning instead. Its all about the fitness. He runs a fair bit too. He just can't do the contact sports he really wishes he could. But he can still coach rugby (he used to do the local ladies team for ages), so he's going to put his efforts into my nephew. He's 12 and plays for Bangors youth team (lives in Wales).

    Anyway, my point being rugby boys are yummy and roll on the world cup I say!!!! C'mon WALES!

    Oooh just read that back, when I said rugby boys are yummy I was obviously not including my nephew in that comment. He is ace though!!

    Many years ago, me and a friend bumped into some of the Aussie Kanagroos. We were asked if we would mind showing them some of the local places to go while they were in town (and drinking their hotel dry :rotfl: ).

    I was a tough decision, but obviously we agreed :D

    The trouble was, from one night to the next they slowly became unrecognizable due to black eyes etc they had got during training. They started off as such rugged, handsone chaps at the start of the week, and turned into beaten, battered looking things within days.

    It was fantastic :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
