    Do you spend more on SW?

    We spend loads more - meat, fresh fruit & veg blah blah. But eating much healthier now so don't mind too much :) It's worth it, cos it's working! :)

    Borgias??

    I recorded both episodes as knew I would fall asleep (can't stay awake much past 9pm LOL) and watched them both yesterday morning. Really enjoyed them and looking forward to the next one - I think the corruption and intrigue will get more and more complicated as the weeks go on - bring it on...

    My 200 mile in August challenge!!

    Well done, very impressive :) I will join you, not in the 200 miles LOL but in the early morning walks - I'm up at 5am so I can probably do a 20-25 min walk before I have to get ready (leave for work at 7am). One thing, how do you track how far you've walked?

    Things to do in Crawley

    Harper Seven!!

    I thought it was quite tame for the Beckhams LOL Harper as someone else has said reminded me of Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird - which is the book I had to study for English Literature O Level and have hated ever since :D (the book that is - when you've analysed it for two years it takes...

    Things to do in Crawley

    I live a few miles out of Brighton but work in the city centre (so pretty much spend more time there than I do at home :D) and I would say *deffo* spend your day and evening in Brighton! As Cleogin says, there's so much to do, you can easily spend a whole day/evening there and not be bored...

    If you won LOTTO or EUROMILLIONS would you consider surgery to lose weight?

    Not surgery to lose weight but I might consider some 'improvements' :D ie the bit above your eyelid under your eyebrow - I'm sure you can have something done with that to make you look younger. Maybe lipo for tum and bum and wobbly thighs? Oh and hire that lovely trainer Jesse someone or...

    Why I hate WI day!

    If I've had what I consider a great week then I look forward to getting on the scales - until they say "uh uh (that noise on Family Fortunes :D) you've gained half a pound", then I cop the right strop and don't want to get on the following week. If I've had a bad or not so great week, I usually...

    I love this programme also :D I think it's hilarious - and no, I'm not insensitive, I'm overweight myself! People who take part it know what the score is, if they don't want to be on it, then they shouldn't have applied IMHO. Most contestants (is that the right word?) are truly grateful for...
