I know what you mean about glasses being ££:eek: I always go for the BOGOF but still end up paying £250+. I have to pay to have my lenses reduced in size cos theyre thicker than double glazing and would probably break my nose from the weight if I didnt get the lenses made thinner!

nykmedia the new thread will probably start this weekend.

Wel done everyone for this month :T :T You've all done really well!!

I know, it's ridiculous. My daughter has to have her's made thinner too for the same reason - I don't know, you daren't be ill in this country it costs you too much, you have to have 20-20 vision, perfectly healthy body and mind, push bike everywhere and be able to live on an apple a day to survive at the moment! :mad:

Hey Gang.....

Kinda lost the plot a bit, but technically I'm on the new challenge as from yesterday.

Can I declare June as under & leave it at that...cuz I got komfuzzed wot wiv Pup's vet bills & stuff. The old grey matter seems to be particularly water-logged just lately:o

Thanks for stepping in Angelnikki & I shall continue with my usual methinks...
so that will be £350 for July please.

Welcome Newbies--tis good to have you with us, & once you're settled in you'll wonder how you ever got on before you found this place:p

just popped in to catch up on the posts, can't believe how many are on this thread now!! i should be able to manage an NSD today, as i'm not planning on going anywhere near a shop!

i've just scoffed the last 2 chelsea buns that i made the other day...they were well hidden in a corner of the freezer so nobody else could find them :rotfl: so i'll have to get the BM on and make another batch...probably do that in the morning i think

totally off-topic i know, but i've been reading up on colonic hydrotherapy, and i'd LOVE to have this done!! yeah yeah i know, i'm weird, but i just wondered if anyone on here would admit to having had it done, and if the benefits were as good as they say?

anyway, hope you all enjoy your day, and don't have to spend much

Ooh - I'm interested in this too - as is hubby (hmm- his and hers session??!!)

Can't go to Mr T and spend today, after all - have 3 deliveries expected - 1 arrived (the boring one) - DHs blackberry. I want the wii & wii fit to arrive!!! (And even the new water butt from tesco - but most of all the wii!!)

Haven't been to a supermarket since Sat - but we did have small spend whilst out on Sun on icecreams (can't pack those to go, really, can you?!:rotfl: :rotfl: ) But have spent on the wii & water butt & new garden parasol -;)

Another lovely day today. If I can tear myself away I should go and do some potting on and moving about of veggies We have 4 tom plants with green toms on.:j The pumpkin and squashes are flowering (as are the rest of the toms) and so are the very short (less than 6 inches) mange tout. Cut and come agains are huge (first lot) and need some eating. Set some more seed late last week for c-and-c lettuces and they're already doing wonderfully. Have 2 lots of carrots also growing and set 3 more pots of them up yesterday. Cucumbers are slo--o--o-w though :-(( And no sign of any flowers on peppers or chillis yet, or runner beans :--((

Right - now to move my butt!

Afternoon all

Had my MrT delivery this morning first one for July and i think my cupboards are going to fall off the wall they are so full :eek: The fridge and freezer's are full too so i shouldn't need a big shop for a good 2 weeks
Thats a first for me i used to big shop every week :eek:

Another HM loaf just come out of the Oven nomnomnom

Oh, shopping was £66 odd and with the £6 off code found on discount thread here and LOADS of BOGOF's it cost £50.21 what a result, i'm getting better at this even without woopsies

It's the kids dads birthday mid july so i got Lynx shower gel on bogof & lynx deo spray 2 for £4 for him from them, bargain

BIG WELCOME to even more newbies This is only my second month here but believe me it's brilliant and really works and is VERY addictive!!!!

Have a good day everyone, keep up the good work :j

:mad: Done this once and lost post, how annoying! - copying this time just in case!

I use something called 'Colosan' - without going into detail (well, it is lunchtime! ), works in a similar way to a colonic in that it cleanses the bowel out by creating air bubbles or something - not like a laxative though, totally different.

It cost about £29 and I got it from the Finchley Clinic online, but there is other stuff out there too, just type colosan into google and you will see them all.

You can do it regularly, or just once every few months - aparently you can loose weight as you are getting rid of a load of excess you are carrying around with you, plus you have more energy (I'd agree to that) as you get more nutirents through with a clear bowel and just feel generally better.

Def recommend it.

PS: Does anyone know how to make the icing that you can get on chelsea buns? I think it's just icing sugar and water? can't remember and my cookery books are still in mums loft (will have to sort that lot out - one day...:rolleyes: )

Flylady_Flower

Ohh, just a quick extra one, sorry...
I just wanted to say thanks to Herewegoagain, what a lovely message, thank you. and just to let you know Yazz sang the only way is up (saw it on your signature!) HLH
