How lovely ...........must be a great feeling.

Actually I'm ticking the weeks off to my birthday when I'll be 56. I have a private pension (not actually worth that much) but it matures to tie in to Mr Woos 60th. A bit of extra dosh but the biggy really is we can stop the monthly payments. Our pension hasn't really performed that well - we;d have been better off spending it on another mortgage and letting the property.

You live and learn.

Ain't that the truth!  

My arms are knacking off Fridays session with the dumbbells.  The pain was even waking me up during the night last night.

Today I've struggled with the diet, but I think it's because Mr C made a lovely roast pork dinner for him and the boy and I had noodles with a sweet and sour sauce with added soya beans to give me some protein. YUM FLIPPIN YUM

Mmmmmm tasty

Diets suck big *chooses cleaner words*  time.

Ells this month they sent me a mixed hamper, so when I re-order next month I can leave off things that I really wasn't keen on.

On the list so far:

Noodles in sweet & sour. (not a big fan of sweet and sour)

Vegetable & green lentil dahl

Never done one....proper like 

Little & often....with a brisk stroll in between seems to do the trick 

I think I'd like having my food all sent to me.

Sweet and sour isn't for me either.

Here's a link to the story as reported today on a local news site.

I hope he went away and put the lottery on.

Send me a few hundred quid a month & I'll send you food 

Ells like I said to Soozy in the Jenny Craig thread, that's why I've chose to do this diet, I've put some weight back on after losing loads, but I'm feeling lazy and uninspired so having a months worth of every meal plus snacks sent to me which are going to help me lose weight seemed like the right choice.

A few hundred?  

*shrugs*
Am new to this..... 

Slim....will you sneak me in some treats if I do?  

Healthy ones ? 

  No deal.

Up yours then pal! 

Hahaha I took a packet of radishes to work the other day as my snack treat.  Although Jenny Craig give me a snack per day, some are biscuits, some are crisps.  I prefer the crisps.

All sounds yummy

I like the myfitnesspal site.  It's simple calorie counting and really easy to use.  

Vinnie Jones states he was "Set up". Doesn't look that way to me .

Slimming World update - weighed in this morning and lost one pound. It's bloomin slow but all going the right way 

No it doesn't does it.

Stupid arsehole! 

Him not you.

Well done Soozy.  As long as it's off and not on. doesn't matter how slow the progress is. 

He so didnt seem that bothered about it all at the end Cinds lol I would  have been a wreck!

I lost quite a bit quite quickly with that app Ells think one week i lost 6lbs, was the first time i ever calorie counted/dieted, on the iphone you can even scan bar codes and it with bring up the nutritional info from just that! I've actually been thinking i should load it on again and do it til christmas.

I know, I would have still been a gibbering jelly now!

Yep, I do well on it too when I stick with it.  Coming up to xmas is a good time to do it so I think I will also start on it right now!

Well Ells that was the kick up the butt i needed ^^ I loaded it on last night and started today

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

That's great Jen, good luck with it.  I forgot to start

Tomorrow though I will get a shop done and start on it.

That song is a bit shit at the minute but no doubt it'll catch on.

Agreed!

16th October... and some div is setting off fireworks around here already. 

I've just been taking some snaps of fireworks going off...!

The Feria's started down in San Ped;  we're organised and authorised divs down here   

Evening all   

Blimey they must be loud if I can hear them from here!   

Evening you   Have you visited the stickie at the top... we're waiting for our first non mod VIP

  My, you DO have good hearing, Kaffers!

I'm sitting back and waiting until it's all clear and sorted. 

I'm not sure I want a badge; it may clash with my outfit  but am happy to 'upgrade' if necessary.

yes.. i'll probably wait until I try to do something and I can't....   'upgrade' is a bit of a trades descriptions contravention imo.... it's actually only a 'pay not to downgrade'    

I've just seen them in their glass cases for sale in Morrisons tonight 

Chicken!
