    ...Anic You are more than welcome to help out with the gammon, I've also got another one in the freezer to do later this week. This morning I used a recipe that was in a magazine the other week, 'Tea glazed gammon'. I hope it tastes as good as it smells mmmmm!...

    Any concensus when we open them tomorow (:j :j ) peeps? I think probably everyone has differnt constraints on their timetable so shall we say open them anytime you like on Xmas eve? That means 00.01 for you Anic:rotfl: . ...

    ...I vote that we all open our presents ONE SECOND before midnight tomorrow ( i.e. 23.59.59 hrs to make it perfectly clear :p), just to taunt Anic :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ...

    ...Suggs 6xlnkzq.gif Now I'm going to have to go and closely examine that picture to see whether or not I'm disgusted and offended...I may be gone for some time as I don't want to make a hasty and subsequently, unsound judgement 87bwzzm.gif...

    hello People!

    Im totally failing on the weight loss. No way can i maintain or possibly loose with all this temptation around. Im postponing myself untill its all over. Plus to be honest i dont wanna spend christmas thinking i shouldnt eat this or i better not have another one of those!

    So im gunna kick back and embrace the calorie intake. More reason to work harder next year.

    I shall be working tomorrow (8-6) How poo. Although any rude customers will be walloped round the head with a bra or 20.

    Anyway, this is going to be the last time i am on before christmas so i just wanted to say Merry Christmas to you all, i hope you have a fantastic day and get what you were asking for! (thats of course is assuming that you have all been good girls and boys!)

    see you after christmas!! xxxxx (im excited!!!!!!!)
  • hi all, well party is over now. It was like a teenage party actually - by the end of the night I'd taken my shoes, we had 2 girls arguing about being best friends which resulted in one of them going home early andthe other one hitting the gin and spending the night in a spare room with my oh crying(her not him). Then we had someone throwing up in the sink. Sounds like an absolute nightmare but we actually had a lovely time and when I get my pic ( we had a photographer attending) i will be posting it as my before pic so that next christmas i will have an 'after' pic. didn't manage to get a pic of hte spam cupcakes but they did get eaten. IF you call them 'mini meatloaves' it doesnt sound so bad. However they are VERY bad for you so I will not be posting the recipe for you all. However, If you want something to hand out at Holloween drop me a pm! I shudder to think of all the naughty things i ate friday and saturday, but it's all gone now, and have planned for the rest of the week ( bar Christmas day and boxing day) to be good. At least, I thought I was being good today by having corn at Nando's but it turns out that corn isn't a HEB like i thought it was so I've had to syn count it. I went to see Enchanted which is very disney, very soppy and very girly and yes I blubbed a bit. Also very funny in parts.

    oh, I'm worth less than $5k. ROFLing at Mr Pet reckoning he can get more than that!

    Sorry to all those peeps that are struggling . . . but ahah Bails! You may have the key to the shed door but I've still got the padlock key so you'll have to break the window if you want that stick. It sounds like your mum is a bit of a feeder (like me) so remember, you're doing it for her mental health. And we all have faith in you. So don't go anywhere just because foodwise it isn't going well. Look where that got me last year. Laters all

    xx

    Hi everyone, flying visit from me, I've just caught up reading but not much time to reply.

    I've had a moderately good week, hopefully I'll bring news of a small loss from weigh in tomorrow (won't be anything like LAST Monday's 2.5lb off - sorry just had to mention that again :D) I've done two workout sessions today and I'm sure I'll sleep well tonight.

    I'm so sorry about those who are having a tough time, if it's really impossible to keep a lid on things (literally) then please try not to stress about it. Just enjoy and make up for it with renewed vigour afterwards! A few pounds isn't the be all and end all.

    Hope you enjoy all your secret santas and I will look forward to hearing what you got!

I had that ladybirdbook he made the stilts from (two tin cans and some string):rotfl: . I can't understand kids today wanting x boxes/ wii whatevers (whatever they are...?)

    I'll just get the first train in the morning and stay with you all week then!!! I will help sample the first gammon just to make sure it tastes ok - wouldn't want you all to suffer if it wasn't 100%. It might take a few slices to determine though - and when I have finished that one I will be more than happy to help with the next one too... No-one would guess that I really like gammon - would they?
