    I bought a chocolate brownie and it was huge and she cut me a huge slice of a freshly made Victoria sandwich, I couldn't pick. Was going to have one the next day but it only made it until the evening. :o

    I would have done same as your sis and bought 4. :rotfl: It is good she is eating though, she would loose even more all the stress she has been through bless her. x

    Yes it is good she is eating, she dropped a massive book on her foot:eek: she said her foot is black:o

    Anyway cake, 2 ham rolls and a bag of crisps later she says oh im going to eat this other cake:eek: i said how many did you buy? she bought from a stall at the booty.
    She said they were 80p each or 4 for £3 so would have been rude not to have 4:rotfl::rotfl: she said 2 for her and 1 for me and Mr bubbs and she is still loosing weight:o she is so skinny , not through lack of eating:rotfl:

    bubbs has she been checked for hyperthyroidism? Over active thyroid, losing weight or a difficulty in gaining weight and can't sit still, always on the go.

    Probably.

    Was thinking about this earlier and the quietness of the thread. I'm gonna make the assumption ( terrible I know :o) that for most of us the current way of glitching doesn't have that same thrill of the chase, the excitement, the unknown attached to it as it once did. Now that clever people have worked it out, post their findings and the knowledge that it will glitch for the entire day or even days, takes away from the buzz we once felt, that glitching on the edge, not knowing when it was going to stop working.

    Most regulars/ lurkerswill know what day and time to check in.

    In some respects there is less risk for those who couldn't afford to take the risk of it not working, so it's good for them.


    Then I thought perhaps it's quiet because it is the summer holidays and activity will increase in the months to come. :)

    Ts online have decided I need to change my password. But won't send the email :mad::mad:
    I tell a lie they did but when I clicked on it - it said I had taken too long :eek::eek::eek: 30 seconds ???

    Rang the number they state to ring - which is Ts Groceries :mad::mad::mad:

    Eventually got an email - changed password & then Firefox tells me I can't use Ts site as dangerous.....

    and calm :o:o
