Night Clare!
Very excited as I've booked tickets for a Blitz Party for New Year! It's held in a place called The Arches in Shoreditch and it's compulsory forties fancy dress! I've just bought a vintage navy and white polka dot dress, tights with the seam up the back, red Mary Janes and a big red flower hairclip. I'm so excited! I can't wait for it all to arrive.
WI for me tomorrow too. I just need 1lb to get my Club 10 so fingers crossed. Good luck ladies!

You a morning or evening girl Emily? Your outfit sounds incredible. We need pictures!
Thanks guys, so long as I lose 1lb I will be in the 15s and it is a success and the 4.5 stone is my Xmas Target so there is still time. I seriously need to chill but that 2.5lb gain gave me a right kick up the bum!
Harley, there are some gourmet veggie burgers that are lovely. Boil 200g potatoes, drain and mash, mix with 4 finely diced pepperdew peppers. In a food processor whizz up a tin of chickpeas, a large grated carrot, 2 crushed galic cloves, 4 chopped spring onions, a handful of chopped corriander, 1tsp baking powder, 1tbsp curry powder, and an egg until coursely ground. Mix in the potato/pepper mix, form into 4 burgers and chill overnight (or for 4 hours if you forget to do them the night before) I then fry in frylight but be careful when turning as they can break apart. I do 6 minutes each side. Use a heb on a bun, serve with slimming world coleslaw and chips
yummo

They really are delicious. I make them quite often, hence knowing the recipe off by heart!

I'm an evening girl - I have to hold out till 6.30! Hopefully this time tomorrow I'll have a new shiny...
When everything arrives I'll do a dress rehearsal and get the OH to take a picture! I need to practice my 1940s hair dos (by practice I mean learn) and makeup... It's good having something to focus on to keep me vaguely on track over Christmas week. I'm anticipating a gain but I'll want to look fabulous for this for New Year!
Right, actually going to bed now... Sleep tight everyone xx

Yay for the dress rehearsal. My fingers will be crossed for you. It is raining so hard I've not been able to drop off.

Good luck lyrically with weigh in.
Random question everyone. Has anyone ever tried online dating. I'm bored at the moment and been giving it a try, finding it a bit mad at the moment!

Ah Laura I loved Skyfall! Amazing
Yeah some people are a bit weird on it but you kinda pick up on that quick enough! I haven't been on any dates yet kinda been puttin it off! I've been single for a while and haven't been having any luck in other ways so said it was worth a try but I think I'm not being very proactive about it ha

I think online dating is the way to go at the moment - there's not even close to the amount of stigma you used to get.
I met joe kinda online and at the very least through a friend I met online. Go for it!
Midweek WI is about to happen. Remembered I eat prawn crackers last night so I DO suck at SW. Fingers crossed!
EDIT - 2.25lb GAIN since Saturday. Wtf is that about?! I weigh MORE than I did on my last midweek WI. RAGE!!

Thanks Clare, may as well give it a go hey?
Pfft those pesky scales are probably just being awkward this morning that can't be right.

I would definitely give online dating a go - two close friends met their partners online and have been together for years now. My cousin's done the same and I've never seen her so happy!
At least half the recent weddings at work have been the result of online dating. There's definitely less of a stigma about it.
My mum's friend is the only one I've heard bad things from, but she is a divorcee with her own house and found a lot of guys were living with their parents still (in their late 40s) and were pretty much 'golddiggas'! The other thing is the ones who just want a one night stand but aren't upfront about it. I think if you're aware of the pitfalls then you'll be alright - as you say it's pretty easy to spot the strange ones!

Ooh, lots of chat this morning. I pretty much agree with what everyone else had ciara! Have fun!
Clare, it is your midweek weigh in, you can reverse it my love.
It is starting to look like I will be swimming to weigh in. God it is grim out, the rain hasn't stopped for a full day now.
