Sarah - the walk to "impulse buy" would work off a Mars Bar! I know life on mars, I saw a trailer for it on a video we watched. Looked pants!

impossible princess, have you tried boots migraine releif? I don't think they have caffine in. I also think they work really well.

I hate migraine, I only get them when on steroid medications for asthma. So at the moment, when I could really do with them, I sound like Darth Vader, the headaches are worse than the asthma!

Life on Mars is ACE!!!! I haven't been looking for mistakes.....they haven't compromised by filming everything on location in Manchester, if we wanted it perfect then they could do it in a studio somewhere, which would ruin it for me, being a now Manchester chick!

I adore icecream as my favourite naughty treat, I get one scoop at the posh deli, and it's a 15 minute walk both ways, so it helps mitigate the damage!!!!!

Colin is off to bridge tonight, (um pool night actually) and hence it's just me, the cat and Gillian McKeith tonight. I'm going to try and be good, and cook tea for tomorrow tonight and do some ironing!

I've put on weight! That is all. I really should get some ibuprofen I can't take the dogs out, they walk enough anyway, my sister did this travel survey for the government or something and it was 2 hour dog walk at night, hour dog walk in morning, dog walk at dinner, dog walk to the bus, dog walk from the bus... no wonder they collapse when they come here.

Does anyone know of a good free online calorie counter for Uk food?
I'm using the free trial on weight loss resources atm but it runs out soon and I can't afford the subscription. I don't think fitday really works for me because it doesn't have calories for quorn or tofu and stuff. Any suggestions?

I will try boots tomorrow. i've been going to lloyds pharmacy cos its on my road when boots is in town. I've gone through a whole pack of migraleve and a pack of propaine which are codeine paracetamol ones in a week so am trying to lay off the painkillers a bit. Theres nothing worse though when you are trying to do work and you feel constantly sick. I think its my eyes I need to get them retested.

Oh yes, the very prospect terrifies me. So much so that Col has been informed that I'll walk down the aisle when I am in a size 10 dress. I never intend to be a size 10

Have you got a frock chosen?

My friend had her wedding dress a year in advance then lost 5 stone or so and had to have half of it taken off. It cost a fortune.

Oh god, don't! I was checking them out today and I found this. It's JUST what I want, but the prospect of actually finding it in a shop looks about a million to one! They are an american co - they supply to places over here, but I can't find this dress on their website. I've found a few shops who deal with them so I can ring round. I think the confetti website sucks, since they are just an agency for companies you have to send off your little e-mail form and they send you spam! Although it's been good to find the Barbican centre wedding venue.

Bum I can't upload I will try again in a bit

A friend of mine got hers 12 months in advance and put on two stone, didn't have a fitting til the night before and the dressmaker did a quick job at taking it in, but it was a mess, and her non dressmaking mother had to try and stitch it to tidy it up. She looked gorgeous on the day, but it really upset the applecart the night before.

She was always going on the Kellogs diet and having a go at me for eating sensibly and exercising. And now she's gone from a size 14 to a size 18 and is the same size as me!

You'd think a wedding was a big enough incentive to stay outta the biscuit tin!

I'm trying to load the frock but it AIN'T WORKING

http://www.confetti.co.uk/fashion/fa...ls.asp?id=3647 quick check it out before the link-bot spots it
