Gail! I wondered where you'd been! Don't recall seeing you on Sunday weighers and thought it was dead unlike you to hide but here you are all along!!
Well done so much on you're 3lbs. Considering that isn't entirely on plan that is truly amazing!! Very well done
You're doing well and like everyone else is saying - bloody fantastic idea you've got to ease yourself back in and it's working!
We've all had those remorseful moments though where we say, "if I'd just stuck to it, my loss would be more". Hell every Sunday morning I regret something from the week even if I've been 100%! don't worry about them
well done Gail and as ever, thank you for being an inspiration!

The rain is here Dawn, I'll try to hang on to it so you can enjoy your holiday, but I don't think I'll manage to do that until the weekend in Manchester (?) It rains there often, have you got your wellies?
Hope you all have a great time together, it's lovely meeting friends.

Lol! Haven't got my wellies...but I did bring my Doc Martin steel toe cap boots from work! They're the only water proof boots I own, and I know only too well what the weathers like here! I mean, those lakes had to get here some how lol!
Never been to Manchester before...so looking forward to our little rendezvous! Xx

Trying - very!
Hope you enjoy it Dawn. Being a born and bred Mancunian I have to say it is my favourite place in Britain - even after living in 5 other parts of the country.
There are big parks in the middle of suburbia - okay once upon a time they were in the country and the city sprawled to meet them - that make it brill. Ok, like any city there are some no-so-good parts that could do with bulldozing and it has it problems too but still my fave.
Good music scene - modern & classical (I'm a classical fiend and I still miss going to see the Halle), great eating scene (the start of my weight gain!) and so much more. Enjoy yourself with Gail & Jules.

Yeah I love living in Manchester I never want to leave! So much going on, so much to do, so many places to eat, really good atmos and like Pommette says the parks are brill. And did you know on wikipedia it says thats a myth about the rain - apparently we actually have LESS rain than the national average! There are a lot of chavs though. And a lot more poverty than what I'm used to coming from Sheffield. But then Sheffield is sooooo boring!!! X

Plodding on.......
Jules - Tiramisu sounds great. I haven't made any SW puddings (other than a couple of scan bran cakes which were rubbish for various reasons and I tried the SW ferrero rocher this week which were ok and MIGHT be the only reason for trying to use scan bran again !!!) so anything will be good for me. Thanks.
Today was good. I had a red day for a change which I usually find difficult but I was too busy to think about anything else ! Total syns (shock 'horror') - 10. OMG. That is the first time I've been under 15 since May and means that I have made up for yesterdays 20 too.
Still really busy - tonight is the first time that I have even got my laptop out this week !
Orchestra rehearsal tonight. Was hilarious - if we can even finish the symphony without stopping it will be a miracle. Glad my parents are coming to watch..................... Must do a bit more practice
Anyway, sorry I haven't been checking diaries but I hope that things will get a bit better soon. I'm sure Jules and Dawn will fill me in at the weekend though !

Oi! I lived in Sheffield, it's not soooo bad! But then, I've never been to Manchester
:8855:.....Yup!
Northerners are great! (Hardly north though really is it? More kind of in the middle?) Barely north of Watford really!!!..... :fear:

This made me laugh, I can remember rehearsals like this, where we kept getting stuck, the conductor got more and more cross and that made it even funnier, we'd be helpless by the end!
But I'm sure you'll be just fine on the night!
And well done on only 10 syns!

Ooh...10 syns eh? Hope u gave that halo a bit of a rub Gail?! Put a bit of shine back on it lol!
Gwyn will sympathise with you on the conductor thing! One of the choirs he's in has a VERY strict choir master/conductor and sometimes things get a bit fraught when the practices don't go quite to plan! But the performances are always lovely thank goodness xx
Please please don't go to too much trouble with lunch on Saturday, you and Jules are far too busy xx And Gwyn and I are piggies and eat anything and everything lol! Xx
Wishing you a good day hunni xx

As a north-easterner and apprx 150 miles north of Manchester, another thumbs up for all things Mancunia - inc. its people
I love Manchester, and visit a couple of times a year. Hell I even fly from Manchester to Florida and stay overnight the day before.
It DOES rain all the time though lol
Or maybe I just bring it with me.
Watch out for that SkinnyDawn though Gail. I'd be worried about her influence
God help Manchester!!
Have a great weekend ladies (v loose term).
