  • fab losses everyone - well done!!

    nessa, that stuffed chicken thing works well with quark too, but it's a bit less cheesy - add some garlic. OH loves it and he doesn't like cheese ( unless it's on a pizza or lasagne).

    Bails that eday thing sounds cool - i wish i'd known about it. I had to get home early yesterday for hte gasman who - what a surprise - didn't turn up. Ive given united utilities a right rollocking and they said they'd put some compensation on my bill! The plus side was that I was able to cut the grass and do some digging - I'm tackling a garden project this weekend whilst oh is away so I got quite the headstart on it.

    lol ajax, not that sort of red weekend! ( that was last week so next weekend when OH is actually around will be blue) will be polishing the scrabble pieces this weekend in preparation!

    freecycle - I've used it twice now to advertise stuff and both times more than one person has said they wanted the item and failed to turn up to collect it. There should be some sort of rating system on there, like ebay.

    katiepoppy cat {nessa, that stuffed chicken thing works well with quark too, but it's a bit less cheesy - add some garlic. OH loves it and he doesn't like cheese ( unless it's on a pizza or lasagne).


    THanks for that, I love garlic and will definitley try it with quark, am I right in thinking if I use quark on a green day I can use the bacon as a HEB??

    I live in Surrey by the way and I go to Bracknell for the slope action :D
    (Grannynise please could i be removed from the chart, thank you xx)

    I grew up in Camberley missyg - can't be far from where you are...
    Thanks for the chart granny - perhaps you could move my name to the maintainers so the others don't get too lonely without missyg there:D .
    Aug sound good for a meet, as does a spa - will PM you bails.
    Welcome back just married :T - of course you are remembered: well done on the continued weight loss. And fantastic well done to MOT :A - Great start.
    Nessa - you are bound to have some weeks where you put on a little, although it is always annoying. As long as it makes you more determined you will slowly build up a downward curve, I had half a dozen small gains in 6 months but still reached target .
    Vixarooni: have a fab weekend in Brighton. Forecast is wet tomorrow but sunny saturday
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Hey everyone!

    I feel bad cos i havent been on much it feels like :( and ive missed the chart twice, im really sorry granny!

    I shall be in brighton tomorrow at 11am BB. So thats the time to hide :p im really excited. Got a new pink camera all set up and rearing to go!

    In regards to the meet, am i the only one thinking the bank holiday isnt such a good idea? heh. Im thinking of traffic, public transport ect. Its always a busy one isnt it. Going to a SPA is a fab idea, you can talk inbetween the treatments, in the sauna or the pool or the jacquizi! yummy stuff. I would love to go but it depends on the date/location ect.

    Weight loss out the window from tomorrow onwards! Hope you all have a good weekend, please pray for good weather!!

    bye guys x

    KPC - freecycle no-shows are a pain in the backside aren't they? I've posted a few 'moans' on the various freecycle threads on here in the past! The system could definitely do with a bit of tweaking I agree.

    Kymrob - I'm a crisps person too :o I went 8 months without eating any while I was dieting but now I've started to reintroduce just the baked ones... MUST be sensible about it :D

    Brighton Belle - yup Camberley is just down the road! Thanks for taking my place in maintainers ;)

    Have a great weekend Vix in Brighton, anybody else up to anything good? I've got the car boot sale - I was planning on going it alone but now I'm wondering if I can rope someone in to help, after I've read some stories about people nicking stuff, etc!

    Hi Mumoftwins. Well done on a fabulous result. You must be so pleased.:j

    hi Nessa , was it you that wanted ideas for packed lunches? Just wondering how you got on and if you found anything different to take to work.

    Well I had my chocolate tasting at work today for the students for fairtrade fortnight. Had to stand for 4 hours behind 16 bowls of different chocolate and offer to the hungry uni students. It was really fun! Had a few squares - just so hard to resist.

    Anybody doing anything nice this week-end? Hope you have a nice time in Brighton Vix.
