Linus~ wasn't sure wether to laugh or cry! :rofl: Sometimes life is like a sick comedy of errors. Glad you were standing there. Imagine if the 3 of you walked up and THEN she pointed a finger?! OMG!!!:yikes: :faint: Too bad you have to go back! Hope today is much more calmer and no hanging around the Bobbies!!

Shad~ I hope the Birthday breakfast is a good one!!! On your special day I think you should treat yourself! :hb: Nice present from the DS :gift: I love soaps and things. Sounds like a lovely weekend coming up. Glad you got out with the co-workers. Can't imagine what the topic of conversation was! :rofl: or did they ignore it ALL-together:lol: May the sun shines on your Birthday Parade!!

Teel~I am calling those chair people today. I still have not heard a word. Thanks for asking as it also reminded me I didn't get the call yet this week! :shrug: :mad: Sounds like Linus needs help with this crazie! You sic the dog on her and I'll run her over as she runs away! We'll sort this whole mess out in 5 minutes! Hope the sun shines on your tea party too!

:smug: :smug: :spin: I have just found a wonderful site for those struggling with the everlasting challenge of weight loss. I found it first in Slimming Magazine and hiked on over on the net to take a look. It is one of these sites where you input all the food you eat during the day, all the excercise you do and it comes up like magic with how many calories you have indulged in, all the nutritional info, how many calories were burned doing an excercise and goal planning and everything else you could possibl want in a data base site. I don't know if I can advertise it here so if anyone wants it, give me a shout and I will give you the address. At the moment they have a three day free trial going on so you can "try before you buy"! After that it costs between £7 and £9 a month depending on which package you decide to go for. I think it's an absolute beauty of a resource. :wizard: Takes discipline :comp: :comp: to fill in all the data required but then isn't that what losing weight is all about?DISCIPLINE!!!I am trying Miss Mels trick again :lol: So far today I have 135 cals left to play with after dinner.:chin:....a yoghurt perhaps?? :strong: :drill: :drill: :lol3: :lol3:
:flow2: lets see what's happened this time????
Oh and the bin man knocked on the door enquiring where the bin was hiding that he was supposed to be emptying so I showed him down the back pathway and left him to it. He also asked where Stoney Lane was....having enlightened hime I asked if that was another missed bin....:rollpin::devil: :devil: ..you are correct. Genius. It was..... :lol3: :lol3:

[SIZE=7]IT WORKED!!YIPEE! YIPEE! THANK'S MISS MEL :queen: FOR THE CYBER-LESSON[SIZE=7] :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Capital letters and American spelling make for the important differance! :wizard:
Now to celebrate!!! Lets have a glass of Diet Coke!! :cheers: :cheers: :encore: :encore: :cheer: :cheer: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:

hey you did it way to go you

Bad day at the gym yesterday - although I did manage to get my 30 minutes sweat up. It was hard going. I think Madcat has the right idea, do 2 days hard toil and have a day off then another 2 days. It's taking its toll on this unfit body. I have to force myself to eat when I get home. It is getting easier, and I will keep it up at least 4 times a week, 5 if I can make it. I make a future commitment to 4.
My biggest problem is the perceived lack of movement both in the way clothes fit and on those evil scales. The only time I see movement downward on those scales is when I take the fluid reduction tablets. If I forget, it just keeps going up and it is bl**dy difficult to bring back down again. I've cut back on pasta, and potatoes. I eat rice occasionally, and still nothing budges. The pants I wore yesterday feel different, they make me feel like something is happening but it is difficult to say what as one bit seems a bit looser - as in they don't fit as snugly in the waist and upper hip, and they are baggier in the crutch but they fit tight in the lower hip area - is my butt growing????? I HOPE NOT!!!!!
Enough whinging, I best get ready and go to work. I've decided to go in late today and take in a gym class at 5.30pm instead of going early and finishing at late as well. I'm going to work to office hours, now there is a real change. Normally my day is around 9.-91/2 hours, today I am going to work 8. Yeehaa.

Weekend coming up tonight - again yeehaa - so much to do and blessing of all blessings it is another long weekend. We have a whole series of them from Easter to the beginning of May, one more in June and then the long drought until Christmas. I wish I knew how to speed the weekdays up and draw out the weekends. Seems to work in reverse down here.

Mel I am sorry to hear that the DD is having BF problems. The Latin lovers are so hard to live with. Seems that to be able to put up with them you need two houses where you can both take time out and rejuvenate and have some peace. Of course that doesn't suit the Latin temperament, but it sure as **** does the solid British stiff upper lip. Why do you think those Aristocrats built places like Buck House and Woburn Abbey. 600 odd rooms to get lost in! At Hampton Court Palace for instance it was a good 20 minutes walk from the Queens apartments to the Kings Apartments. Plenty of time for the temper to cool.

Teel, I hope you gave him directions for the long way round to get to Stoney Lane. Or maybe got confused and sent him to Sandy Lane. Getting clever with the colours hey!!

Okay, best get ready for another day. Should now be in the thick of the commuter traffic so I will be even later than expected. Care factor - on a scale of 1 - 10 about negative 2

Geez I wish Happy was here to see this.
 

We have one of those nights here tonight. One of those nights where the stars are just hanging in the sky and you just feel like you can reach out and touch them. To add to that, the moon is a silver crescent hanging up there by one tiny point with the brightest Venus right next to it.
I can identify the Southern Cross with its 2 huge pointers, I can see Centaurus (the bull) and Orion as clear as a bell. Those are the ones I can identify easily. There's the pot up there and just maybe if I stood out there for a bit longer I would see some else that I know.

Happy's DH would never come inside!!!!

I think the whole world must have been scanning the beautiful sky last night. We had one to die for.... :dizzy: :stars: :stars: :wizard: sorry about the starts but I couldn't find a more decent smilie! There was a gleaming silvery/gold (!) crescent moon (how come Australasia had the same moon? I'd kind of assumed it would be opposite.. :chin: ) and some gorgeous shining as bright as they could stars...but I am not as clever as Shad so I don't know which ones they were, and I didn't hang around long enough to work the positions out....
Pause there for a slurp of coffee. :coffee2: :coffee2: I have just finished updating my food diary. It really is the most amazing thing. I looked at yesterdays final report and I have a pie chart (couldn't they call it something other than a pie!) showing my nutritional profile and charts of calorie summary, nutritional summary and how many calories I ate at each meal. AWESOME!! :cheer: :cheer: Sorry to be ranting and raving about this but at least I am excited about something again...must be spring...!!! :flow2: :flow1: :flow1: :flow2:
I am meeting my support worker at midday to go to LAFitness....hope the showers are working again....
HAPPY!! Isn't it time you were back from the big city of lights?
LINUS are you recovered from nearly being a criminal the other day?
ROSEBLUSH you haven't been to say heelo for a while.:mag:where are you hiding? ..I hope you are well and please come back and see us...I for one want to know how the wolves are doing in the forest! ;)
It is a beautiful sunny day today :sunny: :sunny: :sunny: and Holly has been lying on the newly cut (well okay three day old cut!) lawn sunning herself. I haven't had time yet for my tea on the patio!!Perhaps this afternoon!!! :coffee: :coffee:
PEACOCK you are a bit quiet with your news as well, come! Regale us with tales from the big smoke!!!
MEL!!!What are you up to today....hope it is a nice morning over the pond when you wake up over there.... :faint: :faint: how are the firemen doing...:flame: :flame:
AND SHAKER!!!Come on in, the water's lovely!!!
Right. I shall leave you in peace ....bye bye! :wave: :wave: :wave:

Happy swimming little teel. Don't go too far out of your depth!!!

[COLOR=RED]12 LENGTHS...YEEHAAAAA!!!![COLOR] :strong: :strong: :spin: :spin: :cp: :cp: :dancer: :dancer: :dance: :dance: :goodvibes :goodvibes :cheer: :cheer:
:bubbles: :bubbles: :bubbles: :bubbles: :bubbles: and 2 7 minute jacuzzi cycles....for the second one I had the jacuzzi pool ALL to myself.......ooooooooh!

Ah. That was not as I thought it was going to be....ho hum. Back to Miss MEL'S lesson plan......

well done you i was going to send you a rubber ring just in case but as freindly as your neighbourly nurse is i dont think the coronary care unit would accept a rubber ring or would want to deliver it

Thanks for the thought, Linus!! :lol:
It's a bit quiet round here tonight! Where is everyone???
I am listening to Simon & Garfuncle playing through my pc. Homeward Bound is on as I :comp: :comp: Ah no..it has finished. Now it is Kathy's Song....I need Shad tonight to tell me what that bright shining star is that's kind of hanging from the bottom of the moon. It is such a bright silver crescent moon with a star as clear as clear down at the bottom right hand corner....sort of a 10:00 moon witha 16:00 star.... :wizard: :D Absolutely beautiful. And now as we are on "I Am A Rock " and it is 22:30hrs I guess I should be heading in the direction of the bedroom. Holly has already had her bedtime chewy...if I don't go soon she will think she is entitled to another one! :s: :s:
Good night all. Happy weekend..... :wave: :wave: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Teel, you forgot to put the / in front of color in the last bracket. I always put a space between color = whatever and it doesn't work. I think it is the shock of spelling the word wrong!!! :nono:
Big YAHOO :dance: on the 12 lengths of the pool. You are going to win the weight battle by swimming young Teel and I don't think there is any better way to do it for people with bad backs and limbs etc. There is little pressure on the faulty bit/s :cb: :cb: :cb: :cb:
I've had a good nights sleep and now there is three days ahead of me with which to enjoy myself. I've done the majority of the washing and just need to do the rest of the house this morning. Dust sweep etc. and then I can enjoy the days. Don't have much planned yet, Dawn Parade on Sunday morning, then breakfast and maybe a trip down the Gold Coast at some stage. Back to the gym on Monday.
Teel you ought to be on the phone this morning - the parrots are back. There are Eastern Rosellas - sometimes known as Rainbow Lorikeets, and the Indian Ring neck Rosella - so named because there are times when you would like to wring its neck. And I guess soon the big guys, the sulphur crested cockatoos will be back to squawk and sh*t upon us. The Native Acacia trees are starting to bloom. That's what is bringing them in. All that nectar and the birds get quite drunk on it. It's fun to watch them hanging upside down by one foot and screeching at the others. Sometimes they even fall off the tree. Fortunately for those in this garden, the cat is an highly unusual and highly unsuccessful hunter.
Still haven't lost any weight despite all this frantic exercise. Think I may have to shake up the metabolism and put myself on a fast and see if that will budge anything. I wouldn't mind if I was only 10lb from my goal, but I'm 30lb out and have been trying to get rid of it for what seems like forever.

Okay, time to stop moaning and move on. Have a great day all. And Mel, it's not my birthday till tomorrow, but thank you all the same. I will enjoy the cyber cake.
