Hiya! Just popping in to say hello and let you know that I haven't just vanished off the planet! haha Hope you are having a wonderful day!! K :)

Blackpool is most certainly a bit meh bit St Anne's or Lytham are nice? What about having a walk around Hollingworth lake? It's easy to get to from you and is paved all the way around so you can push baba? I'll have a good think on it!

Hey chick Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling perky at the moment. Are you working this weekend? I hope that tomorrow things turn around and something awesome puts a big smile on your face! X

Hiya! I'm also popping in to subscribe :D

Hey lovely, hope you're having a wonderful bank holiday weekend in the sunshine x

Pooks, a pound is a pound is a pound! Every pound counts and you are going in the shrinking direction. I think a pound is to be celebrated.... I have lost 4 lbs total on this plan but I know I am changing shape... I bet you are too :-) x

Boot camp sounds like hell! I used to HATE that sort of beasting in the RAF. There were lads (and girls) there who loved it though. I mean just had this mental attitude that made me want to punch them in the face....... if I had the strength to lift my arms ;) ;) Good luck with your...

Hiya laura! Well done on the loss AND managing it with a holiday is fantastic! How was your hols? Where abouts did you go? K :)

Hiya! I used to think that I really wanted an automatic too as it was what I first started to drive in the states, I've been on a manual now for about 11 years and I promise you it just sort of happens. Confidence build up and then it all just becomes second nature. My parents haven't had a...

Just popping in to subscribe :D Hope youre feeling better... lady times are the WORST!!

Well you looked FAB! How was the night??

Ooooh I fully love that dress!! Where's it from? It's right up my street!!

Changing shape is a good thing though surely? Youre doing so so sososososososoooo well don't let a stupid suckerinnererer ruin your night! Did the online dress arrive? isn't your WI today? How did you get on? x

5lbs in a week?! You hard working lady! I'm on week 4 of my mental plan and I don't think I've lost that! I'm just hoping the inches are good... thats what she said.... ahem! I would like to see pictures of your log cabin! It all sounds very fancy!

That is exciting!!! I haven't had the experience of something being too big for a LONG time. Hopefully one day soon though?! Hope youre having a good day!

Caz you're SO organised!! You have a little one taking all your attention and you have still managed to plan for a whole week... I can barely plan my next five minutes today haha I'm glad that Bethany is a growing girl and that she's been discharged, that must be a weight off your mind!

Youre a better woman that I am! I would be sound asleep by 11 and there would be nothing anyone could do about it! haha night night! x

Morning Caroline. I just thought I would pop in and say hello and see how you are getting on. I can't even imagine what it's like having a new born. Mothers astound me! you're awesome! K x

... and remember, the letter MUST be signed by a parent or guardian! ;)

Good Luck tomorrow! You'll be great I'm sure :D

Well done pooks! So glad youve got your mojo :D

The problem with a chinese blip is the salt and msg causes water retention. you CANNOT have gained 2 whole lbs from one meal. I promise! You still rock! I hope you feel better soon. K x

Glad you hear youre feeling so much better B :)

HAHA the "house redecoration diet" i imagine that would get very expensive after a few months?! Hiya Pooks!

brill loss!! Well done :D

Yay! Look at all these awesome choices! You're so on it at the mo! Have a wonderful (probably wet) Wednesday

I think I once had a party 'round mine but someone chipped my trough and THAT WAS IT!! I had to draw a line somewhere ;)

I'm doing ok! (I think) I'm not being perfect with my food though I am trying but I just can't seem to fit it all in! Especially the liquids after the gym and before breakfast... I'm getting there though! Sticking to carbs after work outs etc. I've only been at it 13 days though... can't believe...

Massive NSV Sparkles! Think about how smug you will feel as you drift off to sleep tonight knowing that you WON!!! ;)

Booo stupid sunday class! Only a few days to go until your usual class and two weeks at once is a great excuse to get a good result ;)

I understand what you mean with the Love/hate HIIT thing... yesterday i HATED it so so much. Tomorrow at 6am doesnt look good either ;) I think the whole point of the plan after cycle 2 is sustain.. I think a change is as good as a rest sometimes... and you seem to have really thought about it...

Also ... always here to support you :) In fact at the moment I am always here as it stops me trying to find my next source of SUGAR!!

Dubai sounds AMAZING pooks! You going to grow your mermaid tail again ;)

Hey lovely! I didn't know you had this diary! Just popping in to subscribe and say CONGRATULATIONS again! She is gorgeous!

Oh my gosh thats awful! I know its quite different but at the stables we used to have a mouse problem with them getting into the feed etc. In the end anything that was in paper packaging had to be put into plastic boxes with tight lids. Have you thought about something like that? Once there was...

Surprisingly I am really enjoying it! This morning I was the first in the line waiting for the gym to open and I can feel myself able to go a little bit harder every day. The thing I don't like is the hours of food prep but I think i will get into the swing of things! How long before you...

Hiya, Just popping by to subscribe - I'm about to start week two of cycle one! Think I am already feeling a change in my fitness! What do you use to track your heart rate? I've been trying to use the machines at the gym but they are pretty useless!! Kate :)

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! :happy096::worthy::worthy::happy036::bliss::wow: (Its rate i get the smileys out so you KNOW I'm impressed!!!) That's so awesome! Well done chick x

Tracy you look absolutely fab!!!!

I used to love going to bingo with my sister! The deal was who ever won would split it right in the middle... The one time i didnt go with her... she won £5000!! She took me out for my tea but £2500!?! can you imagine that on a random Tuesday evening?!!?

Hey Laura, how you getting on? x

How was the extra shift? I know what you mean about the extra pennies! I wish that I could do extra shifts here but I doubt they'd let me! At the rate im spending for my trip i might have to sell a kidney or something! haha

That is EXCITING news!!!!!!! SUCH and inspiration!! x

I am indeed I will PM you my name on there... also you should follow thebodycoach... he is mental but good!

They look YUM!! I am sooooooo hungry right now and am stuck in a room with students doing practicals in silence for the next 2 hours... *sob* haha

omg pintere$t!! (it stars it out if i dont do that for some reason!) I am OBSESSED with that thing! I have a whole board of things to make and never get round to it so its good to know that some of the things on there are as yummy as this! a gain of 3lbs after not being on plan isnt bad at all...

Laura you ledge!!! Well done x

Bloody LOVE Nashville!!!!

YAY Laura! You are absolutely blasting it! What's the best thing so far about shedding all that weight? When are you going to florida? (SO many questions this morning hehe) K :)

BUT - at least you said "weekleys wiped out" rather than.. "well i've blown it now I might as well start a fresh on monday" I think your attitude means that you still win! ;)

Hiya! Just popping in to subscribe as I saw you on one of the other posts. Well done on resisting temptation and going for the salad! I'd have probably been face first into a ham and cheese pasty! I know what you mean about being able to get on a horse. I used to ride competitively - I would...

Hello! I am just popping by to subscribe and so say how wonderfully amazingly awesome you have done! Five stones is a HUGE achievement. When you are feeling down in the dumps remember that you have literally given yourself years of health. And if you dont mind me saying you look great!!! SUCH...

I am so annoyed that I have not only not lost anything but i have GAINED. I set myself such a low target and I'm never going to make that now. I wouldnt mind if i had been a stodge monster but I have eaten really balanced meals and I havent had a single pizza incident lol. I have also been...

You look fab Mrs!! So glad you had a good night xx

Your determination is amazing! Next week all your hard work will show up double I'm sure :)

Cranberrie that sounds awesome! Where did you get it from? I once tried to use a knife to make very thin strips but it just turned into mush! haha Well done on the loss and the fab motivation!

1/4 of the year!?!?!? Ahhhh I really need to get my bum in gear!!

Omg where are you going?? I'm checking out my summer options and 3 of them are America lol

How good are you?!? Im in full naughtiness mode at the mo haha So much will power!! X

A whole stone? That's awesome! Well done hun! I'm going in the opposite direction at the mo but seeing people losing the lbs for good is so inspiring!!

Cmcewn I did it earlier :-)

That sounds blooming awesome!!!!! I don't there is anything at all like that around here!!

sparkles - what on earth is clubbercise??

Welcome Laura!! Popping in to subscribe

Hi Cranberrie! I just thought I would pop in to subscribe as we are pretty much the same age and are both WeMITTS so It will be interesting to follow your journey... which seems to be moving forward (mine is mostly backwards haha) I also have a fitbit one and i love it although its been reading...

Hello!!!! So awesome to have you back and a size 14!!! Amazing job!!! I am actually bigger than a house end right now but I'll get there too one day! How have you been? What sort of gym things are you doing?? Kate :-)

Binky - first defence is a nasal spray made by vicks that kills germs at the back of your nose and throat. Its not pleasant (or cheap) but it is very effective. If you are already plagued up I swear by olbas oil steam taken as deep into my lungs as I can manage - Kate's top tip for that one...

I have used Vicks first defence all winter (i'm a teacher and work with teenagers so germs ahoy!) and touch wood I haven't developed a full blown cold yet this year. Its threatened a few times but I have fought it off. It might be worth a try if you keep getting colds? I tried to visit the...

Just reporting in with a STS - probably more than I deserved with the food week I have had. I just can't seem to find my mojo at the moment. I might have a big event in June to attend so fingers crossed I draw some inspiration from that - I really can't go if I am morbidly obese (and after a...

Awwww Hun!!! Don't fret... Stick with it! You can do this!!!!

Haha!! That quote!! So true!

Hey All I'm a bit disappointed with my probably more than it should have been 1 1/2 lb loss - I was not a good girl this weekend and i am not kicking myself with the whole "imagine what it could have been if you'd stuck to it" thing! Onwards and downwards... 1 1/2 a week would still get me to...

SO excited for the weekend!! We have had zero snow here at my house... not a flake! Just wet slush and rain. Youre a better woman than me with the pointing too! I have been a glutton tonight!

Heya! Popping in to subscribe! Something i should have done blooming ages ago!!

Hi Moomoo Well done on your losses so far! I am just popping in to subscribe :)

Absolutely amazing advice there! I know its hard to follow though - we expect results right away but it doesnt work like that. I did a VCLD for a month two years ago... I lost 2 1/2 st taking me down to about 16st and I felt so much better for my holiday! Then I got home and within a few weeks...

Yay Mrs S! Well done on your loss!! My WI isn't until Monday. I am so impatient.

That's an awesome loss!! Well done!!

I havent tried it as rice... but i really like the cauli pizza crust! That will be a weekend treat (because it takes bloomin ages to prepare hehe)

I am low carbing. I tried SW but struggled with the meetings a bit... They weren't the best run I don't think near me. Seriously craving some rice today!!

Does anyone mind if i tag along with this too? I have about 120lbs to shift to get into the middle of the healthy range but if i can into onederland this year I would be over the moon - would rather be chubby at 30 rather than morbidly obese at 30! haha I know I am already a month late but...

Ha! That picture is probably exactly what mine will do when I start on Monday! If I had a closer boots I would definitely do that too! I seem to remember for 20p it tells you everything! Weight, body fat, water % etc etc it's fab because one week weight might not change but body fat may have...

Afternoon B, I've done package holidays before even though they are REALLY not my thing and I had a great time, also for about 3 years I couldn't afford to go abroad so I went camping around the uk. It was so much fun and a change really is as good as a rest!! Day trips to the lakes are...

It must be a really hard time for you guys! Thinking if you xx

Oh gosh b, I am so sorry to hear that! I hope that Tabby is ok. Is there no way that you can keep lyra over there for now and then when you have saved up enough you can bring him home? Was this a quick decision or has it been considered as much as the move over there was? I am really sorry to...

Happy Birthday Chick... have a fab day!

I'm excited to fit into my very lovely old wardrobe, (the clothes in it... not the wardrobe itself!) and I want to feel confident sitting in unfamiliar chairs. I will often stand rather than risk a chair squeak or a breakage! (pathetic eh??)

a pound is a pound mrs!! Plus with all the exercise it will probably all just drop off in a week or two. Your body will be in shock from working so hard so will retain water (for muscle repair) and won't be burning fat yet as you've gone from a not physical to very physical life style... its...

Amazing pooks! Well done chick x

Well done pooks! That's a great loss!!

hello my darling! I am back at work... not sure why I post more from work.. what does that say about my work ethic? haha I've not been to have a look at the Ol' new eye candy yet... our communal area has been demolished so its all a bit weird trying to find people to socialise with at...

Hey lovely It's crazy quiet around here at the moment. I'm in America having a lovely time in the sunshine on a solo holiday. Glad you had an awesome time! I bet Dubai was so hot?? Glad you're well Xx

awww that seems like totally the opposite of what they should do! :( And is taking him with you out of the question? September is so awesome too! I bet you are very excited! Have you told the girls?

Have you looked at animal sanctuary chick?

Hey all, I was just wondering if I could have a little advice please? I am currently at my biggest ever and i have just (about 2 weeks ago) started properly exercising first thing in the morning and i Really get my blood going. BUT I have been getting really swollen ankles. I was wondering...

hey pookalish! Hows things chick?? Awesome weight loss! I have been donning the cossie and trying to grow a tail of my own... I am no where near your level of mermaid though!

I can't wait until I am noticing things like that with my clothes!! Go you!!

I have some green cream from boots, it's lasted me years!! You rub it into the cuticle and skin below the nail and it makes them very strong and the grow very fast. You might need calcium too? I read somewhere that a VCLD can cause hair loss so maybe it makes nails thin too? Awesome news on...

FIVE POUNDS!! A May zing!!! You're an absolute super star at this aren't you!. Well done!

Wow!! That's insane for parking!!! Theifs and theives!

Wowsers!! It's £4.90 here!! And it's absolutely rammed with kids... And plasters hehe You're so awesome with all the fitness... I'm a sloth!!

Mrs, just be careful that your postcode is on that last post.. It certainly reads like it isn't included... although i dont know why.. surely thats the whole point! haha I'm sure there will be ways that things will work out well for you both! (you and Lyra that is!) :D

Morning Miss pooks! Hows the tail?

Morning B! :)

I got bitten and then savaged last night by various Desmond's pooks... First was the "go figure" a cocktail so amazing that I had to have 3 of them. Then came mojitos in various flavours.. All of which needed sampling... Then it was time for the evilest of all Desmond's... Desmond vino!! I am...

26lbs is insane pooks! It really is!! You should be screaming it from the roof tops!! As for the colours... I suit bright colours or very dark colours, pale yellows, pinks, etc make me look yellow skinned unless I have a very dark tan (rare these days) The people I work with walk at an insane...

I joined in 2009 about 2 1/2 st lighter than I am now... Dropped 3 st and am now at the biggest I've ever been. You're doing amazing chick and that's all anyone will see. You are a swimming machine!! Hehe x

Nothing worse than a squirts shake!, hehe I'm on a cleanathon too! Almost done just the vacuuming and bathroom to do! Enjoy your day :)

Morning chick, I am usually a multivitamin sceptic just because I know that if you eat an even slightly balanced diet you just wee out the vitamins. I thought that the idea behind the packs was that they gave you all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that you needed so you could just live...

Onward and Downward! you can do it!!!!

Well done chick... Yay for 2lbs!,

the teens? We started off at the same place and now im 20lbs bigger and you are about a billion lbs littler!! you are FABULOUS!!! soon onderland will be yours! how exciting!

... i think it would take more than 350 stickers to cover what i have to cover pooks ;)

no no no no... SCD will take away my Ricky Wilson viewing on a Saturday night... i need that right now! haha Hey pooks

Make sure you get a good stretch pooks... dont be seizing up on us! (it could just be your new tail coming through tho!?) Have a lovely day :)

So much space!!! Very jel!!

Yeah!! Go pooks! You kick Desmond's ass!!!

pictures!!!!

NINETEEN POUNDS?!?!?!?! That is amazing!! Well done my dear!!

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah get yourself gone. Just don't sneeze or cough on people and it'll be fine and you will have a wonderful time! ESPECIALLY now your a slinky lady!

I think you should go! If you feel up to it you must! Just don't be giving everyone big squeezy hugs! haha Have fun!!! Also WOW to the WL thats absolutely AMAZING!!! hoorah for the tens!

yay pooks that is amazing!!!!! well done! Your support network is here for you! :D Hopefully i will have a fitbit today or tomorrow at which point i will be on the wagon 100% (i hope!)

Hey pooks! I spoke to Rosie just the other day... Worry not, she is still with us... Last I heard there was something to do with an Peter Andre convention on the Scottish islands that she was running! Hehe X

Thanks love! I am just so active when i am out there. I just dont stop! I think if i was in Orlando the whole time i would gain a million pounds as there is so much food always offer! nom nom nom If i could travel for a few years i would come home skinny! Unfortunately its not an option for me...

I am missing it like crazy already! Hows things in pooksville?

I adore the help.. The book especially! Well done on the all time low! I cannot wait until I am reporting similar news!! Hehe

A very slight tan... I just no longer look like I have jaundice! Hehe Hey lovely pooks!!

It's the last weekend in July and the first Tuesday in August tranqs!! Hehe

I just had 5inches taken off at christmas.. if id thought about it i could have had an extra inch off and done some good! My hair is soft like a unicorn! hehe

Thanks guys! All your advice does really help! I'm currently kick boxing about 3 or 4 times per week. I hadnt been for a while so i am building up fitness that way... but keep falling off the diet wagon so i'm not shifting the lbs like i should be! My knees were my big worry Neil - i have an...

I'm really keen to start but I just dont know how to get going! I want to be a runner so badly! My rubbish ex used to call me crazy legs because of the way i run and its made me so self conscious! Not that i ever was much of a runner!

Hey everyone. I am really keen to start running. I have downloaded couch to 10k but I haven't started yet as I'm not not fit enough to run a bath let alone for 30seconds!! I am kickboxing again several times per week but I just am too nervous to start running as I'm so big! I have never been a...

Some travel agents employ people to do all their booking etc over the phone. So people find a holiday they like the look of on something like ice lolly then they call a number and get directed to an agent... It happened to me a few years ago and I asked the lady about it. She worked from home...

Wherever you guys decide I will try my best to be there! I genuinely have no preference

I think it might be because it's an over nighter and maybe that people are bringing OHs maybe? I don't know... But I am very much wanting to see your faces!!!

I can't say for sure just yet. I'd like to come but I wouldn't be able to book anything until closer to the time xx

Glad you enjoyed your night! It is good... You just have to season the base right and make sure you get aaaaaall the water out or it is so soggy hehe Have a lovely day

Okay... ready...? Put a cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it looks a bit like couscous. Stick it in a bowl with about 50ml of water (i just use a tap splash) cover with cling film and then put in the microwave for about 4-5 minutes. Leave it to cool and finish cooking with the...

I find that tomatoes don't push me out of ketosis at all. Last summer (i was on an absolutel roll) I even had the occasional slice of low carb pizza (made with a cauliflower crust) and it took the edge off any cravings i was having - it also had tinned tomatoes as part of the topping! NOM! You...

it is a huge adjustment i do understand how scary it must be. From what i know of the sure start its like extra easy on slimming world and as long as 1/3 of your plate is greens (or equivalent) then you can have as much as you want until you feel satisfied? Have you had a chat with the folks...

Lets plan tomorrow... pack free... healthy food galore.... What you got in?!

Deep breaths hun! you are allowed carbs now and TBH... i have a spoon of beans or two on my diet - i find they dont knock me out of ketosis which is a relief! So they are FINE - high in fibre and good for you! Have you got any of the WW cookery books? My good friend (TF) and her housemate are...

Youre so so close! You can do it!!!! x

Morning love! You plan so well! I think living with my folks means i have to plan too... when i lived on my own i was rubbish at planning what i was going to eat. It must be quite time consuming doing a food shop with too little ones and no car. I think i'd be tempted to get online hehe Have...

It will feel like everything is a treat as you have been deprived on a VCLD for so long! As long as you point things then youre not being naughty and you're following the plan. And we all know that the plan works! Youre doing great!

You daft bugger! Of course we wouldnt unsubscribe! I'm so glad you're finding your mojo with this diet. LauraBlue (not seen her on here since before christmas) When from doing s&s to doing WW (or maybe SW) and she LOVED it. She had great losses too. Apples really are a super food! Especially...

I'm in! I have to go a few places over Easter but I'm not sure when yet... Exciiiiiiteed to see/meet y'all!!

that place sounds absolutely lovely! I bet youre excited! I'm excited for you - sounds delicious - AND im on the cusp of ketosis so am ready for eating my own arm off!!

Morning! I know you mentioned it before but i need to know more about these pancakes! I do not like the porridge at all... (not so much as the chilli though - which i couldn't even swallow for some reason) aaaaaaaaaaaaanyways i have 5 or 6 packs of porridge and it seems like such a waste to not...

If i were closer hun i would offer to babysit - as i teach teenagers its pretty much all i do anyways hehe! Youre doing well on s&S!!! I started it again today. I have slightly more calories in the form of lean protein than you do (or is recommended) but now my kick boxing instructor has a new...

Sounds good to me chick. Our bodies are weird things. When i was on a VCLD before summer I had one day where i had a big bar of chocolate. Just was silly and it happened. the following day i showed a slight gain, the day after a STS and then the day after that - a loss of 4lbs! From eating...

THAT IS AMAZING!! Well done! You must be feeling absolutely fantastic!! I wish i had stuck to my guns back when you did.. I would kill to be in a size 14 today! Well done chick! Looking forward to seeing more of you after the hols! :)

I really like the way you approach things. I think i might follow the Beelishy diet myself! :D

I LOVE your positivity! You'll get there! I know you will! Do you find it easy enough to get back into ketosis? Do you not feel like chewing off your own arm? hehe

I liked them both but i found the orange one a bit too bitter... thats probably just my unrefined palate! hehe

They had them down the £1 isle last night. They had several shapes. Its such a random isle... toys, cleaning products, kitchen things, bathroom things... Not sure if its just store based though. :)

Sammy... those cookies made me almost drool! They sound amazing! They actually have star shapped cookie cutters in Asda at the moment - £1 for a set of 5 i think :)

You are doing AMAZINGLY! I'm actually quite jealous of the VCLD but i am saving my S&S focus for after christmas when i am back at work with nothing to focus on except getting back to the states for my oldest friend's wedding in Feb! You sound like your head is in such an amazing place...

Ohhhh look how many lovely slimmers we have on here! If that's not motivation i dont know what is!!! Time to get our shrink on ladies!!

SARAH! Were have you been all my life?! lovely so see you posting again hun! xxx

Good thinking Batman!!

Sooooo in starting this properly from today... Had my SW disaster last night to refocus my mind and be a good girl! I have about 90days until the wedding in Florida now so I really do need to get a wriggle on and Get on my wagon!! Do we have an official WI day for this? Xx

My word Panda! I am impressed by your stats!! Youre an inspiration!

In!!!

How is your little one dealing with not being the littlest? I was 9 when my nephew was born and i remember feeling a little put out that i wasnt the cutest any more! haha

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! i bet youre so excited to have babies at home again! (although possibly sleep deprived?) yaaaay! nanny pooks!

dress shopping!?!??!?!?! I DEMAND pictures of you in every dress you try on! I am obsessed with people in wedding dresses! hehe I'm making a menu board tonight when i get home... gonna nip to b&q on my way home and get some cork board and some little tins of paint. Organisation is the key here i...

youve lost the important bit!! Id rather be a size 10 who weighs 15st than a size 18 who weighs 10st! inches are all important (rosie... NO! mind out of the gutter young lady!)

These are stressful times in the pooks house! Very exciting though i imagine!!

Ooooooh well I really don't know... I have been scouring pin terest to no avail... I just don't have any space... I'm in the mood for some kind of upcycling but I don't know what!! Maybe a menu planner for the kitchen.. I saw that and I liked the idea and the organisation!

I'm the same Caz!! I'm well up for crafting!! Nothing needs to be crafted :-(

Yeah Rome is only beaten to most expensive place I've ever been by Geneva. But Italy is only expensive in the cities everywhere else is pretty reasonable. The Amalfi coast.. Forgot to mention that.... Sooo beautiful and I imagine romantic too. Bordeaux is a lovely city and not expensive and...

The trains in Italy are fabulous... We got the sleeper from Rome to Sicily. To be honest in such a short time you're probs right sticking to cities.you don't want to try and cram in too much Croatia is supposed to be stunning too... Beautiful scenery and clean beaches

I have to recommend Sicily. I went as part of my travels in 2006 to Catania just under mt etna. The people are amazing and it's not too touristy nor expensive. We took a few trips out into the country and sat on volcanic slopes drinking the local wine which was amazing! Rome is lovely but...

It must be so exciting!!! I'm sure all your exercise has melted some pounds mrs. Won't be long now!!

That's Is weird mrs. I wonder if its something you touched then touched your face? Hope you're not too uncomfortable x

Hey Caz... hows Tuesday? Feeling more positive about work? x

Oooooh look at your new ticker! couldnt see that before! Have you got a budget for your dress? I know someone who went around all the shops and took pictures of the ones she liked then went off to vietnam to have them made... the trip with a hand made dress worked out cheaper than the one she...

ooooh wedding dresses!! How exciting... I have a board dedicated to them! I think i would want more lace than bling but id still want some sort of a veil. When else in life can you get away with netting on the head?! Never!! hehe i think i want quite a poofy dress for the same reason. I'd also...

Very eloquent Caz! Morning!! :) have a lovely day!

Doesn't that take the drama out of "does any person here present..." Bit? I always hold my breath at that bit... Last wedding I went to, at that bit someone knocked over something metal and it clattered to the stone floor.. There was a big gasp and the lad who did it kept saying sorry sorry...

Probably being a heathen idiot but what's banns??

Yay!! That's a relief mrs! Tell us more about this cpvenue then?!

Lovely to hear from you pooks! It sounds like your life is crazy busy at the moment! Dont worry about breaking the chocolate fast! one things in 3 weeks is going to do more good than harm in my opinion!! :)

Morning caz, don't worry about the inspectors. Just do your day as planned and all will go well. Really good luck today! X

That's an amazing loss! Well done hun!! X

The site was pin ter est... Not sure why I wasn't allowed to tell you about it? It's very very good for weddings etc though. I love it and I'm not even getting married hahaha Some of the stuff is a little off the wall... Some is so lovely I want it now just to have! Hehe LOVE the colour of...

Morning caz... Are you on *********? If not you need to be. There are millions of wedding ideas on there... Some great some bit so much. I pin things for my wedding just in case it ever happens hahaha xx

Yeah I'm comfy... And to think we were talking about ideal weddings not a month ago!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Come on caz.... Details pictures... Everything!!!! Xxx

Happy birthday Caz!! Have a lovely day x

Hello! Just jumping to the end to write a Juice/fizzypop idea (not sure if people have already said this) but i use frozen fruit in water. I especially like raspberries and strawberries. You can use fizzy water too and it just gives the water a light taste of the fruit without all the...

Hello! Just popped in for a nosy! Well done on your loss this week!! Kate :)

My sister knew she was having a boy but still mostly did everything in creams and whites with bits of greens and yellows just in case. Once he was born things started to get much bluer tho!! So impressed with your lack of choc mrs!! I'm sure I'd struggle like hell with that one! When is WI...

I know LOADS of people who've signed up to be *Snip* reps. I always presumed pyramid schemes were illegal though? A few people who got on it a year or two ago are making a fortune now! How's the chocolate ban going lovely pooks?

When i was in 6 Form all the lads had to wear suits... i think it makes such a difference. I wish they made the kids here dress smarter. I think they are worried about number dropping massively if they do that though. Plus i supposed they dont do it at uni so why do it in 6form? I just think it...

9lbs!? That's AMAZING well done chick x

I'm restarting tomorrow too pooks!! We can do this Hun! We will be sexy ladies together!!! Xx

Well done!! That's awesome mrs!!

Morning mrs!! I've sent you a message!

That's absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Although remember they grow up!! I'd never have picked a poodle cross, but Tilly found us and her personality is just wonderful. We laugh every day at her antics.... We found her like this on my bed before I went away.....

Welcome home! I hate unpacking. It's my worst job! I'd rather iron for 4 hours! Haha I do enjoy the first shop to an empty fridge though... Sounds silly but it sort of feels hopeful You all set for Monday? Is that when your kids are back?

yaaaay!! glad you have returned!! xx

I got mine from home bargains... They have the jungle formula stuff for £3 something. It worked pretty well (but I used stronger stuff when I was around malaria and dengue fever) I think they do non deet based ones too if you're not a chemical fan. For toiletries I usually do home bargains or...

I wouldn't trust the list lol... Or I'd randomly need something... I am awful with packing but waaaay worse with unpacking!

I was away for a month and I packed the morning I left hehe... I do love lists and organisation but when it comes down to suitcases I can't out things away until the last minute or I forget what I'm taking or I need something I've backed. It's lovely to see you in such a fantastic mood!, x

Hey pooks hope you're okay xx

Morning Caz!! Happy Sunday!! X

Oh it looks so lowly caz!! You must be so excited to have a home with Aaron!! X

Looks that way tranqs! Maybe she ran off with am exotic sultan??

£18 a month is awesome! The cheapest one to me was £38 a month with no pool. (that was the council run one) The one close to my work was £49 a month and that was with corporate discount. I really dont know how gyms can charge so much! If you and Aaron will go together it might be worth getting...

Lovely to hear from you Caz... sorry you are feeling a poorly. It so exciting that its only a month until you move!

hehe yeah yeah Suuuuuuuuuure it won't ;) ;) It looks lovely though Caz. It will be lovely. I have to say i really did love living with Mr W it was great to have a buddy there all the time!! I also really enjoyed just being domesticated! hehe Your weekend sounds lovely. Have fun x

i think 10lbs for me this month as i am going away for a couple of days next week. Nefertari -14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Porshe04 - 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) lou1hammond - 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Gnossienne - 15lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Rach1001 - 14lb (0lb lost, 14lb to go) Floss - 14lb...

But you have some of the depost don't you? Just an idea and might be worth speaking to them about? X

Well it's a negotiation thing really. You say to them look I want your house. I am in a position to move right in and I don't have to sell anything. I don't have the full deposit so if you give me some cash back on the sale then I can we can get this thing moving. The help to buy scheme is being...

You could ask the vendor to cover your deposit as you're in such a good position with no chain. Remember you also have legal fees. Basically it's like they are discounting the house, and you'd always ask for discount so it's kinda the same? X

Sorry to hear that the job situation isn't cooperating at the moment lovely Caz. I know exactly how you feel as i have been in the same situation as you are. I wasnt getting as many interviews as you are so you are clearly doing something right!! Its bad that they have to advertise for jobs that...

Only two off for me this week. I am a little down in the dumps about it but i guess my body is just trying to figure out whats going on (i've just finished my 3rd week) Fingers crossed for more next week or i will make my May goal! Bridebeslim 28 lbs (0lbs lost, 28lbs to go) Cherry-Blossom 10lb...

Thank you cherry :D

I think I'd like 18 as I'm away at the end of the month too! Im on week two so not sure if 18 is very ambitious? I'm on an iPad so please could someone add me as I can't. Thanks :D Kate
