I loved E.T. STILL cannot watch it without crying!!!!!lol

My favourite bands ever would have to be: The Wedding Present, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Deus, Gogal Bordello, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys etc....... Too many to write down lol

The worst film by far for me was S Darko, which has to be the worst ever follow on film ever!!!!! Which was a real shame cause I absolutely loved Donnie Darko

I'm grateful to my hubby and two beautiful girls for their love and support while going through chemo and radiotherapy. 2nd to my bestest friend in the world its only at times like these that u find out just why u need them in your life.

I like my new boobs, since finishing treatment they r bigger than they ever have been!!!!!! Everything else is changing with the weight loss( i hope) lol

Hi there and welcome, i have been doing atkins for nearly 3 weeks, and i am loving it, it is so easy after the first couple of days ( withdrawals from carbs) its a low carb medium protein high fat diet. U tend to eat alot of meat, and i never did before this diet. I have lost 10 lb in two...

I dont thinks i could stick to just one, i have to abstain completely!!! luckily i'm finding the meals so filling that not wanting snacks/carbs at all, I must say I'm dreading the summer hols, as i have to get more snacky things in for the girls, they'll only eat so much healthy stuff a day...

I must say the weather here is awful, but dry (should b thankful for small mercies)!!!!!!!

Ummm, never baked with them, my hubby wants me to have a go with using spelt flour, has anyone used it??

What did u get up to for your b'day? hope u had a good one!

Good luck with it, if the weathers good you'll get a really good turn out!

So far this week I have resisted the temptation to weigh myself, which is quite a relieve!!! and makes weigh in day all the more exciting!!! I happy cause i can feel the difference with my thighs ( lees of that hiddeous rubbing at the top) that is a nightmare in the summer!!! Breakfast 2 egg...

Hi Thats just a little bit of pressure!!!! the turn out was really good, there were people all the way along, but only one deep. We had a party which was reaaly good and made better by the rain holding off, my daughter went into town because there was a free concert, she loved it!!!

Morning Ladies thanks for all your replies it really helps. Yesterday was a good day watched the touch as it went into Manchester, but I must admit the build up was much better than seeing the runner (feel guilty saying that!!!) but my friend put on a gathering, and I really surprised myself...
