    Thanks Newgirly. Will you find me?

    Not to worry about your cat, I hear that very few of them are Christians.

    Sorry we (apparently despised even on this board now) teachers are blighters for the TLE (three letter acronym).

    OF TROUSERS is what an old colleague of mine called OFSTED. Because one of the previous chiefs of that organisation had a reputation for struggling to keep his on.

    MFP is myfitnesspal a diet and exercise tracking app.

    I am determined to get enough weight off to ride again. Recently I have realised I've had an eating disorder for years, probably since my parents put me on a 600 kcal a day diet aged about 8. Well Duh!

    No you could never pee me off KC. It's just the teacher bashing used to stay off MFW and I've seen some not great comments about us lately. (You know, the sweeping generalisation kind).

    LOL. Apple.
