  • wow KatyK! Gutted that I missed top gear - was watching John cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank. mmmmm.

    Will be tuning into top gear on tuesday though!

    now, i have a cute little parcel here, all covered in polar bears . . . ooooh! A cute little bodyshop gift set with some white musk shower gel and bdy lotion plus a new bath scrunchie in my favourite colour - purple! My santa has stayed secret - not even a senders address on the box, so thank you, whoever you are!
  • thank you, thank you katyk - the most beautiful flowers are in my SS pressie - so it wasn't sawdust after all, it was a little bit of compost! I am going to be the proud owner of two amaryllis when they have grown. But the most lovely thing about the gift was the lovely poem you put in there, thank you again xxx
    Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all enjoy it. This is a great start, hope everyone likes their pressies xx
    Thanks again to BB for organising it all x
    Forgot to say well done Katyk for managing to lose weight at this time of year!
    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.

    :xmastree:
    Hope we are all feeling well or even a little better? Me a little bit, but the coughing Suggs's are still going strong. Bails and BB (((Gigantic Hugs)))

    So when are we allowed to open the SS presents? I know Anic has already, has anyone else? Ah yes KPC has too ;) (sounds like you had a great party too!!) btw KPC, it was me, glad you liked it, you wont believe how I worried and fussed over what to buy!

    I will open my secret santa a little later :)

    missyg, two sessions in one day, is not allowed esecially at this time of year, whilst I fully appreciate your worries, trust me I havent seen the inside of a gym for a week now, please do not over do it. Part of the journey is learning when and where to ease down.

    Have to say Petrichor, havent had trifle in ages!! as for tea glazed gammon 9de39f28.jpg makes my boiled hams sound boring, but then I did the glazing one year and no-one liked the sweet taste :confused:

    Well done on the weight loss katyk great result, I must be getting a little better as the weight is slowly climbing, but only back to the maintain :)

    Anyways the final picture of Santa, I hope I dont get banned for this!!

    Hello all :D

    Petrichor, can't believe you've been up and about almost 6 hours already :p and I've been really lazy this morning.

    Secret santas seem to be going down well so far, nice to hear!

    Katyk - 5lb in two weeks congratulations that is brilliant (sorry that it was partly thru stress though, that's never good).

    Delly :( so much illness around at the moment. Look after yourself, please don't catch it too.

    Suggs I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, hope the coughing goes away very soon!

    Guess it's time for me to hop on the scales...

    ¾lb off for me this week which is about what I expected (bit disappointed it wasn't a full 1lb, we're back to fractions!)

    I went over my calorie allowance on 2 days last week, and the extra exercise at the weekend was a bit of a last ditch effort (I don't normally do it twice in a day Suggs ;)), but never mind I'm happy with that as it's almost 2lb under my target weight, so I have my buffer!

    I am really enjoying reading what everyone has got for their Secret Santa's! Oh and I am a happy Dragon this week as I lost 3.5 pounds this week! This means that since January I have lost 4 pounds LOL, but it also means that I have now lost a whole pound in December! (put weight on to start with *sigh*)
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D
