    27 VACENCY ~ WE'VE HAD A QUITTER ALREADY!!!!!

    anyone else?

    I see that you put me down as number 27 and have now replaced that as a vacancy and described me as a quitter. No offence but I responded to your invitation to join your campaign to say that I didn't want to so I think to register me and then to describe me as a quitter when I politely declined your offer is out of order.

    Does anyone who wants to join this thread have to join your campaign too?????????

    I don't think frogga meant any harm by it. The club is only a bit of fun.

    SORRY tippytoes , no offence meant , honestly! It was my mistake in putting you down as number 27 when you hadn't actually said yes! As I read your very polite note on the daily so quickly afterwards I thought I could quickly take you off without anyone even notice you were on it! If you see what I mean! The "quitter" phrase was only a joke as you obviously hadn't quit because you didn't even want to join! IM REALLY SORRY IF YOU ARE CHEESED OFF , IM A COMPLETE TWIT !!!! AND NOT AT ALL FUNNY!!!! Hope this clears it all up , sorry tippytoes xxxx:o

  • Hi everyone!!

    I've joined the lose weight thread on the I wanna board, and am doing Slimming world, so I guess I shouldn't be on here really...but I am on a very strict budget and doing all my cooking from scratch, so I hope nobody minds if I pop on here from time to time to pick up some tips and recipes :)

    Ok. Just think you need to be careful about adding people to your challenge when they say no. Or at least wait until they've answered you. Like I said before, good luck with you weight loss. And you didn't answer my question.... Are this thread and your challenge one and the same?
