    Has he sorted out when you can have the burgers yet, and what you have to do with them along with allocations for the various members of the household :D

    He does not need to know that we are using burgers for any purpose other than as their intended use :eek: that would cause another code red situation :eek: :rotfl::rotfl: I've not involved him in the burger allocation :o

    Code red is his own self imposed saying for anything that might cause distress and upset. It comes from a thing he had when he was younger. A key ring that I made for him with various coloured cards to describe his mood because he couldn't......green for happy, blue for sad, yellow for not sure, red for upset etc. Fab idea for anyone else with kids that have trouble explaining their feelings.

    Its the little things TM. Washing my feet in the shower, tying my shoelaces, seeing my tinkle..;);)

    I do feel healthier and it is nice that all my larger clothes are very loose and hanging off me. However, my wake up call is that I occasionally try clothes that fitted me a couple of years ago and they are still too small..:(

    I am off on holiday in 15 weeks and hope to lose as much as poss before I go. Currently 16 stone having lost 20lbs. Hoping to dip below 14.7 by the time I go.


    It's the small things we notice that make all the difference :D

    Keep it going :T

    Sounds like you're in the zone:T. Imagine now carrying around a bag with 20lbs iof weight. You'd be exhausted:o:)

    But we had one a few weeks ago where we were paid 8p a bottle to take it away. Don't you remember this..

    Sorry, don't mean to rub it in, just like showing pics of me stash!!:cool:

    I missed this one..

    But loving the pride in your stash!

    My OH hates when I collect a little stash, but is filling the house with building supplies.. I heard him today in the conservatory saying 'I love my stash' repeatedly as he packed away 12 packets of floor glue! It may take some time before he lives this down!

    Well done SFSB and everyone else on a weight loss mission :)

    I want to do a bit of exercise to tone up but I'm a fair weather exerciser so won't be doing anything until it gets warmer! Although I have worked out I'm walking for 40 mins every weekday. I get a travel card for work which is more expensive if I include a zone 1 (the nearest station) so I get off at a zone 2 and walk. Saves me £30+ a week and I enjoy it too.
