I think the saddle is still there but the bike has gone...... Eek

As for the TV show how about..... "I'm a bike saddle get me out of here"... Crazy

I am always ready for a wayhay day.......
How about Butlins in Minehead???
Thumbs Up

Thought of the day, whilst driving to Dawlish I saw a sign for the local hospital... minor injuries only???? Where do you draw the line between minor and major?? surely if you sit waiting too long with a cut you will bleed so much it turns into a major injury, do they then refuse to treat you??? Confused

IT'S WEIGH DAY!!!

Wish it was pay day....

How are we all doing? Mr Mouse, Jo, Mr Milk? Are you all shadows of your former selves? Fingers crossed for some encouraging news from you all.

I have lost 3 pounds (in two weeks). I am so excited that I have ordered some new clothes - I reckon my dress size is now 'party tent' rather than 'marquee.' Big Grin

Sorry, didin't read your post properly, you already pointed out that I was bound to be right because of my gender!

No harm in mentioning it again though.

And again.

I'm right. I'm right. I'm right.

Ha ha ha, now I can't spell either. I can spell either, but I can't spell didin't/didn't.
I must be feeling giddy from losing all that weight, it's hard to concentrate. Roll Eyes

Well done on the weight loss loopey. Clapping

At this rate we won't recognise each other when we next meet, I had a thought about that maybe we should travel abroad next time somewhere were they speak another language somewhere wild and untamed, maybe the Isle of White?

Or perhaps Scotland... maybe on the Bonny banks of Loch Ness, maybe not, there have been so few sightings of Nessy I don't want them seeing me and thinking it's back....... Cool

well done guys, you've done really well. i've started walking to work to help a bit more..however, i've been writting a lot recently - complete session at the wkend - can't write without beer and snacks. got another session planned for this wkend so i might actually end up putting on a little weight. how do you decide between career and flab? it's a puzzler.

Have your cake and eat it (literally) Jo and use the aforementioned Michelle Mcmanus as your role model*



*as long as your career goal is to be ridiculed as some kind of talentless wailing bloated porpoise hellbent on consuming the Earth.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.

Mr Mouse

Have you forgotten that we are not allowed in the same place at the same time? Not without permission from the emergency services anyway. Remember that earth tremor? And what about the food shortage?

Mind you, now that we are on the road to Slim Ness, perhaps we could carry on to Loch Ness.



You could always snack on fruit Jo – only you may be spending more time in the loo than at your computer. Walking is good, though when I used to do it I somehow found myself walking to the sweetshop and the takeaway.

Well developing some flab is an occupational hazard of writing, when you're sat about for long periods... Either with a pad and pen or a computer, or both...

The key is taking lots of regular breaks (which is tough, if you've got a good flow going)... And just walk around for a bit and do some stretches to get the circulation going etc... It all helps... Thumbs Up

* THE NEW DISCUSSION BUTTON ISN'T WORKING, SO I'M JUST GOING TO STORE THIS HERE TO CUT AND PASTE LATER *

RE: BIRTHDAY VIDEOS... NEW WINDOW OPEN...

I'm liking it... This sounds like another fantastic opportunity... Thumbs Up

Similar, I guess, to last year's Liverpool Festival brief - in that it's silent videos required, with no dialogue, and about 30 seconds... Nod

Only trouble is the upload tool seems to be playing up again... Frown

They say we can put them on the 4Laughs YouTube page instead... Does anyone know how to do that?... And if so could they post instructions here so it can help everyone get their stuff uploaded... And of course, good luck to all who enter... Cool

Note to self: Must stop eating cake.

Shooting fish in a barrel is actually alot harder than you'd think.
