For me, when it comes to cake I'll eat it.

If I know there will be cake I'll make a calorie allowence for it or do more exercise later or the next day to burn it off a bit & only have a smallish piece.

Also I know if I go anywhere work, friend, of family related & they've made a cake I'll have to try it as it's normally made with me in mind as I love baking them & tasting them. Everybody that knows me knows if it ends in ----cake! I'm all for it!

If I'm watching the treats & its chocolate or biscuits (cookies) I'll just say no thanks.

If they're being pushy just say "I can't eat that I'm allergic...... causes me to break out in fat" Usually shuts them up.

Mine went. I can't remember when, just one day *poof* single chin.

I had lost a fair bit I think it may have been around the 20lbs mark that I noticed it had gone.

Digestive biscuits are lush! I used to eat them with jam on top or marmalade. I say used to, I probably still would if I had some in the house.....hmmmm....

*gets coat & keys to heads out to Tescos*

Throw in some cashews for a bit of a bite! & a bit of protein.

You could try adding some Thai Sweet Chili Sauce too.

I heart Dexter!

My boyfriend got me into it about a year ago when he said "you like serial killers so you'll enjoy this" & downloaded the first & second season.

Really loving Trinity. However Rita does my nut, the whiny bint!

In the UK its 25 that they start doing them. It was 21 but it changed when I was 20.

I did keep asking my doctor about it, but she told me that when it's time I'll get a letter & unless I notice anything unusual or any changes it'll be 25.

Same here. Theres no button to to click too go to the second page.

I met my fella through myspace. He added me because we lived in the same area, briefly emailed & commented each other over the course of a year. Then I found out hedi internet animation & a friend of mine had shown me one of his on her phone (but I hadn't known it was him at the time). We then ended up having email conversations every night for about 2 weeks then met in person.

That was about a year & a half ago, & now we're looking for a house together!

I will admit when we first met in person it was very strange. I wasn't really sure if I was attracted to him & couldn't tell if he liked me or not. It was actually on our second date we seemed to click alot more.

When you do meet for the first time don't write them off straight away if you feel dissapointed, you got to account for nerves. Both yours & his.

Oh great! Another cost to the UK tax payer. "We'll be good parents" Yeh, sure & bleed the rest of us dry. Gah! & oh what a suprise - rented council property & jobless dad with a family all on benifits.

Why would a 15 year old girl be going out with a 12/13 year old boy?? If it was a 15 year old boy getting a 12/13 year old girl thats still icky, but at 15 I had no time for little boys. & what happens when she turns 16 & he's 13/14 & they're having sex? Will SHE be charged with rape as they would if the sexs/ages were reversed?

CAT QUIZ:

1. How old is your cat? 11, well 12 this year
   
2. Male or female? Female
   
3. How much does she/he weigh? Not sure, she has a chunky little body & tiny feet. Her ability to walk along fences is limited (& very funny to watch)
   
4. Is he/she overweight? Nope, just chunky.
   
5. How much do you feed them and what schedule? Half a pouch of food first thing in the morning, then the other half before leaving for work, then another half in the evening, plus her dry food that's always available.
   
6. Do they ask for more food? No, she only meows to be given water then tries to drink our drinks too & licks rain off stuff. Even though there is always fresh water for her both down & upstairs.
   
7. Brand of wet food? whiskers
   
8. Brand of dry food? whisker or go-cat
9. Cat's name? Pixie (aka - Pix-Wix, Pix, Pixscelator, Gobby-Gobsh*te)
   
10. Comments/thoughts? She's a gobby little fur ball that moults all over my clothes & tries to kill me on the stairs every morning, but I loves her!
    

You could also try disolving rock salt in hot water, then wait for it to cool a little, soak some cotton wool in the hot/warm water & cover the infected area with the cotton wool unitl it cools, then repeat with a new piece of cotton wool.

This can help draw out any of that nasty goo. It's what most piercing places recommend to help heal piercings & any infections. Worked on my nose piercing when that got infected.

Low maintenance. I'm pretty easily pleased as I expect nothing from no one. Not really into grand gestures. The best thing a guy can do for me is be on time & make me a coffee & piece of toast in the morning.

Though me & the fella have a kind of country weekend away this weekend, but thats for HIS birthday, so maybe he's high maintenance (though we've gone halfs sort of - I paid for the chocolate making course & will pay for dinner in the evening & he paid for the hotel for the night & a trip to Warwick castle). For mine he took me to fly owls at an owl sanctary = Awesome!

The best things a man can spend money on is things you can do or enjoy together.

This sounds awful but I was only 4-5 at the time.

When I was in infant school we had a new girl join our class who had been in a fire & was very badly burnt/disfigured. After break times, when coming back in from the playground we had to line up in two's holding hands. I was just scared to hold hands with her because I thought she was still hot from the fire she was in. One day we paired up to come in & I held her hand & was relieved to find out she wasn't hot.

I also used to think that we were just skin all the way through. No organs or bones.

When I was heavier I used to go to a gym &my theory was everyone else is more concerned about how they look to be staring at me & anyways if anyone made any kind of fat coment I could just back with a "Well why do you think I'm working out in a gym then dumba*s!" Nobody ever did, & if anything they should respect & amiration for anyone larger working out as it takes a lot of courage.

At the moment I can't afford the gym so I do exercise DVD's. I have a pilates one that I enjoy doing but got a little bored of doing the same thing. My new one is that Carmen Electra 'Fit to Strip' which is mainly toning & strenthening up to be able to do a routine. I've been doing it 3 times a week for 2 weeks & feel firmer already.

Also.... Beyonce has wobbly inner thighs & she looks lovely!I think we all need a bit of wobble.

Hm.  I know that a lot of people can be rude, but they are probably the same people who really get harrassed by sales people.

As a college kid, when I actually dress my age and go into a store, sometimes the sales person will spot me and hang on like a LEECH for fear the young hooligan might make off with something.  SIGH.  One "need any help" is cool, I get it, but after that I start to suspect age-ism, especially if I can clearly see the salesperson watching my every move.  And I won't lie, I get a bit snappy at that point.  It just makes me want to scream "I HAVE LOADS OF DISPOSABLE INCOME, NOW BACK THE BLEEP OFF."  Even though I don't have "loads" haha.

First off, I am not calling you a thief.

But I would like to point out that staff, especially managers, are VERY wary of ANYBODY that might look even slightly suspicious. Mostly being that if anything gets stolen they will be accountable for if. For example - we had a £800 gold bracelet stolen by some guys that had been targeting our stores in the area. Our Area manager went balistic! The girl that served them got a disiplinary as did the manager in charge. Second example is from where my boyfriend works - anything that gets stolen comes out of his bonus, someone has to pay for it. Also remember that manegers o nly get a set income & don't actually get paid extra when they do more hours so they do rely on that bit extra.

Basically when a sales person is watching you in can because there waiting to see if you need help, or if your going to steal something that they're going to have take the blame for.
