I love Pineapple but am allergic to it Very weird - allergy kicked in when I was anout 18. As for the fortnightly cycle (re weight) - yes I am a bit like that as I have done SW in the past. I only started back again last week - first week is usually a good one and I lost one pound 

 

The thing is - I do it slowly but ...........I know I'm slower to gain - my Dil can lose 5lbs one week and gain three the next. I tend to be a plodder.

 

Holiday booked for September 18th - I want to shift a few pounds for that - I'm a lazy dieter - I do need something to motivate me.

Have you tried adding the Scan Bran to the diet?

 

I hate dieting, I feel really sorry for myself when I'm doing it

No ....................it has never had any appeal to me in the past - I might give it a go now though. I need to re read the stuff, In the past I've always reserved my sins for alcohol (and gone well over ) now I don't drink I have a bit more flexibility.

It's rotten but there's loads of ideas on what to do with it on www.minimins.com so you should be able to find a way of getting it into your day.  You an buy it at Holland & Barrett aswell if you don't go to the meetings.

In other news:

 

Kids!!  Why can't they just have a falling out without parents getting all involved?  My youngest is 6 and he plays in the street with about 5 other kids aged between 6 and 8 and they always fall out with each other and have the usual 'I'm not playing with you' carry on then be the best of friends 10 minutes later.  My wee one was playing with one of the kids when another of them came along and my son said he couldnt play with him right now because the one he was playing with wasn;t alowed to play with the other boy (still with me?) but he'd play with him later.  

 

This resulted in an argument and the wee boy threw an ice pop at my son and my son and him must have had an argument because next thing the wee boy comes to my door shouting 'He's being cheeky to me!' but I was on the phone so I said 'I'm on the phone.....go play'.  I noticed the Mum of the wee boy passing by at the same time but didn't think anything of it.

 

Now my son comes in crying telling me he called for the boy he had been arguing with and his Mum tells him to go away and not to ever call back for him because he's now not allowed to play with my son anymore 

 

Jebus!  Just let them fall out and make up like they always do instead of making it into a whole carry on with the kids getting upset because they think they're never gonna be friends again. 

 

Roll on September when they're back at school!!

Ells, we have a couple in our street and you can see them marching down to the house of which ever kid has upset theirs and having ding dongs on the doorstep.  (To be honest in the main it is their kids that start the crap anyway, but we won't get in to that).

 

My mother always used to say to me 'never fall out over your kids, because while you're falling out the kids are busy making up', and I have always tried to remember that.

 

I recently watched the movie Carnage (Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet) which reflects that saying very well.

  You OK?

I just remembered I didn't check my lottery ticket on Saturday.      I had four number.. and I've won £47  

YAY! Go you Kaffy  

 

47 is my lucky number.

Agreed!  I don't go to anyone's door although I've been close a few times  We always did that when we were young, have our Mum have an argument with our friends mum then we'd all be friends after an hour and our Mums weren't speaking for ages 

thanks sprout and soozy... I shall spend it winely.... oops.. I mean wisely....

Always the best way!

PMSL the OH and I just had a bit of a tiff about winning the euromillions.

 

He said 'ohh wouldn't it be great?  We'd move away from here and all the shite'

Me: 'Knowing our luck, half of our families would want to buy a house near us with the money we give them'

Him: 'what's wrong with that?'

Me: 'Ummm.....you just said we could get away from all the shite....which is always caused by them?'

Him:  'Well, my Ma could live near us'

Me 'Jesus, I hope I only win enough to take us on holiday then'

 

 We haven't won a penny but it didn't stop us from dreaming about it!

I am indeedy! Ta!  

I'm still catching up on BB.

 

I laughed so much at the 50k press the button.  Luke S crying and glancing at the screen. Hilarious.  Then the following:

 

Luke S 'You know if I had pressed it 1/2 of that would have been yours' translation 'are you going to share it with me?'

Conor 'Don't worry about it' translation 'no chance'.

That friggin polterteen of mine is active again.  In the last 30 minutes I have just washed all the dishes, and I am still sitting in the kitchen.  I've just opened the kitchen window and there in the sink were 2 cups and a fork.  I saw no activity whatsoever, and I'm actually facing the sink 

Haha! Cinds ^^^

I can't fine me phone   although it's somewhere in the house 

Ring it from the house phone.  I do that, then have to follow the vibration because I mainly keep it on silent 

PMSL!  I found it though. It was on the settee all the time   under all the rubbish that's on there at the minute 

See in my house I would blame the polterteen for moving it. 

 

I love him dearly, but sometimes want to slap his face so hard.  Sadly these days I would need a ladder.   He's so tall now he could put his hand on my forehead while I swung wildly at him without ever hitting him. Grrrrrr 

 

Just had a lovely surprise.  

 

On Sunday we found a mobile at the airport, so we text the number that came under 'dad' and explained and said we would forward it on once we were back in the UK.  Posted it on Monday and today had a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered as a thank you. 

How lovely. How's your kitchen?

Honesty is always the best policy.  I should know! 

Lol Cinds @ needing a ladder, my mum used to say to my bro 'you're not to big for a clip round the ear!' To which he'd reply 'what me to get you a chair?'

Almost done, it should have been finished but the builder has royally screwed up so we're waiting for him to come back and out it right.  I'll upload some pics once I've put everything away, there's still boxes everywhere, but I can't empty them until he's done.

Poor kitchen.  Let it come out in its own time. 

 well it is glittery

PMSL! My brother used to do that to me 

Just watching a US version of Horders. One of the womens house is so full of crap she has to go outside and down the side of her house to toilet 

Watched one the other week where she's to go out and use a public loo and use the facilities at a gym to shower.

Blimey!!

 

Another one has got 50,000 dolls stored in her house.

is that the one who buys more dolls to perform *transplants* ?,it is an illness though Cinds one I hope to NEVER suffer from .

Oh I know it's an illness.  I hope I wouldn't suffer it either, although I can't imagine I would, I hate clutter to the point that if I haven't used or needed something in 6 months it goes the journey.

 

Mr Cinds however is a completely different kettle of fish 

BTW Lee, just realised I didn't answer your question.  Yes it's the one where she has the dolly hospital.

 I wonder could I apply your theory to Mr L .
