    hello penguin, I hope you have fun on this thread! Raph, what a result, go you.

    I've been on a course for hte past couple of days so eating has been out of the window. Hey, when they take you to a nice posh italian, you are duty bound to get yur moneys worth. Then me and OH had a major wobble. I shant bore you all with te details but I don't want kids, have never wanted kids and he got broody. We're over it now, but food optimising went right out of the window. Still, I've planned the food shop so I'll be back on track over the weekend and try to minimise the damage. Is everyone looking forward to the weekend?

    xx

    Hello peeps: I'm in excited bouncy mode coz you'll never guess where I've just been......
    yes, I can proudly announce that bails is not a figment of our imaginations because we've just spend 2hrs over tea in town together:j :j .
    Unsuprisingly she is as utterly lovely as you would imagine:D .
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Aw, thats cute! BB Was it weird? I've known this boy on the internet since i was about 14, and weve chatted allthrough our teens and now 7 years on we still chat (chatting to him right now actually) and we've said we should meet up but i dunno if it would be a bit gay. We probably wouldnt know what to say to each other or something bizarre!

    Today im feeling rubbish and good at the same time. I went into river island and bought some size 12 trousers that had room in them!!! For some reason, the more crap i eat the more i loose? I also bought a WELL COOL handbag for a tenner in there, it was £25 so chuffed i was.

    I then got home and i have the trotts AGAIN. I dunno what is going on with me. Feel really awful now, so thats my day thus far!

    Hope yours is going better than mine!

    my real life people dont really make the effort.:confused:


    We are so so so much better than real life people ..... :A :A

    But Bails and Brighton Belle have now proved to each other that they really do exist, or at least they SAY they have. Lucky things.

    Only momentarily, and then it was just fab (of course she has to say the same thing too now:)). Apparently there was some discussion that morning in her household as to whether I would prove to be a 60yr old bloke, or a 12 yr old girl looking for a mother figure. Or a 6 ft transvestite (not so unusual in Brighton). I can only leave it to bails to confirm not only my true existence, but that I am non of those things:) She might not be around on line until her return home from Brighton, I'm not sure. She'll always be bails though to me, and not Edna Ramsbottom.

    Edna Ramsbottom here, just reporting in to say that Brighton Belle is in fact neither a 6-ft transvestite nor a 12-year-old with a mother-substitute craving - it being Brighton, I should have be slightly less surprised that he is a pre-op transsexual working at Adonis though ;)

    Hi all, how's it going... what's everyone up to this weekend? Weather permitting I might wander over to the uni boat race, friend has a house with a balcony overlooking a bit of the route (very nice too!)

    Jtb, glad you're focused on the diet and enjoying the thread :D Hope you get brill results. I am one of the so-called maintainers, for want of a better word really, because I haven't actually been able to "stay the same". Finding that tricky, but I'm not the only one so it's good to come here and get the support!

    Hey there Raphael. Well done on the size 14's! Not quite the way you wanted to discover your new size though I bet ;)

    Pennypinchingpenguin welcome! So what's your plan of action? Calorie counting again or a new approach? You'll get lots of support here for sure.

    KPC sorry about the 'wobble' but glad to hear it's over with now. Hope the course went well. Are you still doing the dancing exercise thingy? What about everything else, a while ago you were struggling with a bit too much on your plate at home (not foodwise!), are things better now?

    BB I didn't know you and [strike]Edna[/strike] Bails were planning a meet! How ace! I've just got back in touch with a friend from years ago and she lives in your neck of the woods now. So I might pester you to have tea with me someday too! (*BB suddenly remembers she's washing her hair all day every day for the rest of her life*)

    I love meeting up with internet buddies and some of them are my best real life friends now.

    I've been preparing listings for ebay most of today. I'm so bored with it now but I want to get shot of this stuff so I suppose I'd better carry on *sigh*
