Wish me luck......................I'm off out tonight and my legs are a little on the pale side ...........I'm gonna Fake Bake my legs - it usually ends in tears - just hope it's darkish at the venue 

The wonderful thing about losing weight is the whole new wardrobe .............I'm wearing a beautiful dress that I got for my 50th and only got to wear once. Didn't have to buy anything new so splashed out on a new shirt for Mr Woo (bless him).

Have you got a tanning mitt Sooz?  It helps a LOT when putting on fake tan

No .........just done it - I used disposable gloves - TBH - it's not the perma tan - it's the shimmery make up fake bake - looks OK (I think) I'm parading round in shorts at the mo. The milkman comes for his money on Friday nights - he's in for a shock 

My little Jack sat and watched me do it - he thinks I'm a bit crackers. It really isn't the sort of thing you should watch your nan do - can't imagine in a million years my nan ever doing something like that in front of me.

 Nor mine but if you've got it, flaunt it!!

I only use the instant shimmery stuff too....really easy to get on and then washes off next day.  Bit of a problem when it rains though!

If it's raining I will insist Mr Woo drop me as close to the entrance as possible ..........I refuse to taint my outfit with my Asda Emergency Poncho  I've not had the opportunity to wear it yet though (tonight certainly isn't the night) - it's pretty hideous but I am ridiculously excited by it 

Well enjoy your night Soozy 

I am going to my first Bokwa class on Tuesday

It's Friday, it's quiet here and I'm allowed on my own computer.....for a change

Good luck Soozy and congratulations on the weight loss.  

Chantelle is so desperate to stay in the headlines.Fancy that ...A pap just passing by .

Soozy that's a great feeling isn't it fitting back in to stuff you haven't been able to wear in ages.  When I lost a lot of weight last year I went passed fitting in to stuff I had bloated out of, to the point they were all hanging off me.  So I had to buy everything new, which was great.  But I've put a few pounds back on and that new wardrobe is feeling a tad snug so hence the Jenny Craig.

Hope you have a fab night. 

hahahahahahahhaha I really spluttered laughing at the 'chances' of that non-coincidence. 

Not sure whether I'm ready for classes yet Erin, but I actually got on the treadmill for 30 minutes tonight.  We've only had the thing a year or so.  But tonight I did it, 30 minutes fast walking up a steep incline pumping my dumbbells as I did it.  Feel quite proud.

As long as you can walk you can do the class 

This is the best dumbell around and great for the bingo wings.

Shake Weight Women's Dynamic Inertia Dumbell

I think they've been camped out on her doorstep since her and Alex split up.

Awww I've been for a few drinks and I broke my non smoking thingy

Back on the wagon tomorrow.

Disgusted.

Hardest time to stay off them, I'm a non smoker but when i have a few drinks i tend to have the odd one or two. You're doing really well Ells keep it up

I'm a social smoker too. I used to smoke 20 a day but stopped when I got pregnant the first time. I still have a the odd one when I'm drinking but I don't crave them when I'm sober.

Don't beat yourself up Ells.

 One of my mates smokes, she offered to go outside and smoke but seeing as it was her house I said no.  Then everytime she lit up it was like being on a diet and someone eating a curry or something in front of me  I gave in too easily though.  Next time I might put a patch on or take the smoking inhaler with me.

How long has it been since you quit? It can take years. My mum stopped about 20 years ago but socially smoked for about 10 of them. You need to give yourself time and if you lapse then don't be hard on yourself....tomorrow is another day and that might be the day you stop for good

How many times have you heard of dieters who sneak in the odd cake?

I've only been off them just over 2 weeks.  I have no intention of smoking today so I'm just counting last night as a blip and I'm still off them.

Mr C has been sky diving today.  Going up to do his 4 th jump of the day, part way up the plane he was in was radioed to return to the drop zone.  

On their return they found out that one of the static line students who was on the other plane had had a malfunction.  First parachute lines got caught around his body so he had to cut it away, then the reserve failed to deploy.  He landed in a tree and survived 

Just one more reason why I'd never agree to jump out of a plane.

Ells I've done it both ways and loved it, even considered doing the course.  (A trapped nerve in my neck delayed it).  Then I saw this video and thought eff that.

OMG that was horrific!!!  I would have shat my pants and died of a heart attack mid-air!  That poor woman!

Nooo waaaay  

It's like your worst fear. If you get up in a plane and plan to jump out then you at least expect to be alive when you land 

Much respect to Mr Cinds for doing 4 drops a day

When he goes to Seville they get a minimum of 6 in per day.  He still drops like a grand piano though.   You know in cartoons when something heavy drops and you hear a whistling sound.  THAT!

Ugh, I hate halloween!!

The eldest has decided he wants to do a gangster so I'm looking on ebay for what seems to be a million bits and pieces for it.

Black Shirt

Black trousers

White braces

White tie

Black fedora with white strip

Shoe spats

Tommy Gun

Fake cigar

Have I forgotten anything?  Will the black shirt/trousers be ok or should I be looking for pinstripe? 

Thankfully the youngest wants to do Scream for reasons unknown so its a mask and a cloak and bob's your uncle.

I hate Halloween too Ells.  The endless stream of kids knocking at the door while I sit there ignoring them.

I have to answer because my kids are knocking on other peoples doors so it would be rude for me to ignore the constant knocks.  Once my kids are finished though I answer the door a few more times and then ignore after a certain time.

I hate the stokey feckers who call 3 or 4 times and some even go to the trouble of changing costumes to come round and get a few more sweets 

I sit with my massive bag of goodies being a bit stingey cos I expect loads to knock the door and then I get about 3 or 4. I feel mean then. My boys love it the next day though.

Violin case? I did my son in fancy dress as a gangster once - it was the violin case that inspired me.

I used to love Halloween when the kids were little. My friend used to have a party each year, and my two girls would go. She used to take all the partygoers 'trick or treating' to their homes.

We then got a reputation as being a good house to trick or treat at. I didn't mind, I knew most of the kids and it was a fun night.

Last year we didn't have anyone call. I was jolly sad

See now, it makes me happy not having callers like that. And yes, I'm a miserable sod! 

Good idea Sooz he has a violin case already so I'll add that!  

I'm not a halloween fan at all, too much underage drinking (the cheek of me...I drank underage!) and fights in town.  And all the scary films on TV  I be afraid to change the channel in case something freaks me out.

Awww Ells 

Wuss!  

I'm kinda wishing for three weeks time on the 1st of November. It's the last payment on my loan YAAAAAAAAY! 

I know  

  Mind you, I had to turn off delete the Human Centipede from my Virgin box as he came to the op. I couldn't watch
