    Was it Ono who was talking about reading it?
    I did start reading it about 20 years ago, but ground to a halt 500 or so pages in and never returned. :o

    I've never tried 5:2 but can't see it would matter. Main thing would be to make things as easy for yourself as possible, so personally I'd switch the days if that helps.

    That was my thinking too, but thought I'd make sure as I can foresee some chopping and changing! Not going into it with the most PMA am I? :rotfl:

    Can't reply properly as for the time being laptop has decided to force an update on me :mad:

    But here is a pic of my new tattoo, the lass who did it was lovely and when I told her about wanting to add to it when I reach a milestone of continuing not to self harm she said if I come back to her she will do them for the same price as this one (£35). She also wans to do a hello kitty one for me! Once ive saved up I'll be sorting that with her :j Also I now understand why people say tattoos are addictive :p

    How has it taken me all day to find out that it is Penguin Awareness Day?! :)

    Love the tattoo MU, very pretty!

    Re: 5:2 diet, I don't think it matters if you have to switch the days, it helps you to have set days generally (helps with planning ahead) but changing shouldn't make a difference.
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Your penguin awareness level: High
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    Oh heavens, text flirting has gone from banter to verging on steamy. I'm so out of practice I'm all flustered. If anyone needs me I'll be having a cold shower :rotfl:

    I'm very happy with the tattoo (even if i do keep getting random twinges of pain in my leg, consequence of being stabbed by many needles i guess :p )

    Today is also Cheese Lovers Day, which i will totally be getting involved with as i love cheese! And penguins! (just not together)
