[strike]Morning[/strike] Afternoon all, don't think you'll get any sense out of me for a while - yes I know, nothing new there... :rotfl:0 -
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put a jacket potato in the oven at work before I took the dog for a walk. Just came back in and thought that office next door must be burning stuff again. Then I realised that that was a pretty dumb idea considering I nearly drown walking the dog. Wandered into kitchen only to discover I'd switched the hob on not the oven - and it happened to be the same hob that I'd put the instruction manual on for safe keeping when I removed it from the oven.
No fire but a lot of blackened paper. Lucky yes! Getting away with it (stop jumping the gun I wasn't going to say "priceless") should be a doddle as long as the smell clears before boss gets back tomorrow ><
EDIT
So no jacket pot for me - saved from eating chocolate by a tin of sardines0 -

Hello! I haven't been here for a few days, had exams
But, today was my final AS exam so I can get back into a bit more of a normal life! I'm going to take all the coat hangers off the treadmill tomorrow and have a go on that and go swimming next week. Glad to see everyone doing well

well done marion, you've worked out the essential bit:rotfl: I think the rest is 'I like to'.
Suggs - excellent news from the dietician. Hope this helps with deciding what to do next.
pinklg - it's so fantastic when you get in the next size down I know. Raph - really chuffed for you and I absolutely believe you are going to get there. And moved by your self awareness re the dress vs trousers baggy t-shirt understanding.
Good news for me this morning a 1lb loss please efrieze:j :j . So my change of tack last week has worked. This is the first loss in 5 weeks. I need to lose another 3 lbs to get back to target so just need to keep my eye on the ball and not relax just coz I've lost this week.
Off to my parents tonight for 24hrs. I'm taking our own food as we both want to stick to plan and my parents are really supportive of that.
Glad you are still here granny. Well done on the jogging. 95 seconds...phew. That's 95 more than me then:D .I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once0 -
