One comment is better than non at all, tbh sometimes people have noticed a change but just dont comment incase the person should get offended. Hopefully the scale magically moves lower for u xxx Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins
tried to set them up using an online guide as they are supposed to measure my fat %, water ratio and stuff but constantly display error which according to the site says I'm not making good contact with my feet. I tried everything even moisturising them but it still errors so I'm convinced they are broken. Stupid weight watchers. Won't be buying their brand again.
Well the pound fairy didn't come visit me, she must have been held up somewhere, but she didn't drop anything off so that's also fine. Went to bed at gone 3am and come 7:30am my neighbours grand kids arrived and they aren't exactly quiet. Sounded like they were playing with power tools at one point as something was going on that was quite noisy, little sods. I got up and went to Tesco as I spent the morning whilst lying listening to them next door hoping they'd shut up, looking on my fitness pal for low cal & low carb stuff and found Tesco do some lean bacon with 5 rashers for 150 calories compared to the usual 120 for 2 rashers. It turns out it's off the fresh butchers section as I spent ages in the pre-packed section scouring packets then went and found it on the counter. Came home and made myself 3 pieces of bacon (90 calories) and 150g egg white omelette with seasoning. Lovely. It's 4:40pm and I'm still not hungry yet. Bought some new batteries for the scales so they aren't fluctuating now, although shame I didn't loose anything by putting new ones in but on the plus side I didn't gain either
don't apologise. I'll discuss tattoos on this one then post today's entry on the next one below. Any questions just ask.
plus I've got another 339 calories to play with so think I'm safe with 2 sausages and some egg whites. 
Totally not off topic. This is my diary and I have tattoos, so therefore we can discuss
I have 3 at the moment which will become 5 next year. I do have my eyeliner tattoo'd as well but I don't really count that as it's cosmetic, not a personal design like my others.
Firstly I have all my tattoos designed for me, not picked off a board. Whilst there is nothing wrong with flash designs I personally don't like the idea of someone having the same work as me and love having something meaningful.
My first one is the one on my back which is of my cat Sophie who passed away approx 10 years ago now. I had her from a kitten when she was barely a few weeks old, and her mum had cat flu which was passed to all the kittens? Mummy cat unfortunately died as she belonged to a lady who had 14 cats as her ex husband hated them, so she got loads to keep him away but couldn't afford to have any of them looked after by a vet. The rest of he kittens didn't last long either after that. My mum used to work for one of these door to door loan companies and so she knew this lady and saw Sophie who was on deaths door herself not having a nursing mum. She asked what the lady was going to do with her and she said nothing as it was going to die so she asked if she could have her and bought her home. We took her to the vets and he treated her but told us to prepare for the worst as she wasn't likely to live much longer as she was very poorly. I fed her from a pipette she was so tiny, and she proved everyone wrong and lived to be 20 years old.
Because I'd raised her and spent so much time with her I was naturally devastated by her passing, and wanted something doing tattoo wise of her but couldn't decide what.
I'm a spiritual person by nature, not one for following traditional religions but having my own beliefs and as a child I used to be attracted to pictures of animal hybrids as I believed they were gods and goddesses, and I had a picture of a female feline hybrid which I thought was a protector of animals, so I took the pictures and some photos along to a tattooist I'd been recommended to go to, explained what I wanted, described my cat and how she would sit on my hip like a child with her paws wrapped round me, and she drew a beautiful picture of this lady with my cat. My only regret is I didn't go bigger. So that is how I picked that one.
My second was the Eye of Horus which is on my neck. I won't bore you with the Egyptology behind it as the story behind the symbol is quite long and you can google that if you want, but I liked the idea of having some protection symbol to watch my back and being a lover of Egypt I choose that one when I joined the Prison Service. It's worked so far as I've had some near misses and some close calls but I've never come to any harm even when dealing with violent and mentally unwell people.
My third which is my sleeve is based on a few things. When I was a child because mum worked quite far away and dad worked shifts I was pretty much left to my own devices after school and we lived in the middle of no where with no other kids nearby so I used to spend hours in the garden with Sophie. We had Buddleias in the garden which during the summer would be full of butterflies and we spent hours sitting watching them and trying to catch them so I could look at them up close. They were so beautiful and fragile, so I planted some Buddleias and clematis once I got my own place and love having them around me. I then saw a nice meme on Facebook someone had created saying that butterflies are the spirits of our loved ones and I thought that was a beautiful idea, so when I wanted my sleeve doing I got pictures of clematis and other climbing plants and some photos of colourful butterflies and took them to the same lady who did my back piece and asked her to tattoo me. I wanted more than just butterflies though so have some other insects in there and will be having some more work including a gecko added next year too (they remind me of the geckos in Spain which is where my family lived when I was young so we went every year and it holds happy memories for me). I also had a Star added to the bottom. Star is my youngest cat who is 2 years old and like my baby. I didn't want to wait til another cat passes away this time to get a tattoo of them.
My next 2 are just designs I really like so when better to get something than reaching a life goal?
So when it comes to tattoos it's important to find a design you won't mind looking at for a long time and also a tattoo artist that you can talk to and like the work of as I have seen some shocking pieces in my time. I always politely ask who did it so I know never to go to them.
So there you go, a lengthy explanation of how I picked my designs.
