That wasn't the problem. It was the mini creme eggs, the Easter cake and the tray bake (whole block of butter in that!) . Bugger. The egg is broken up into portion bags now. Will be having some later

Loving the amazon deceit ladies I have packages delivered on a weds/thurs (days I don't work) so that I can have the cardboard in the recycling and the item put away, as if it's always been there by hubbies home time.

That sounds nice. Unfortunately we don't have b&m daaarn sarf so I won't be able to partake in that amazing deal!! Shame, I loves a bit of cinnamon.

Do you have home bargains? Apparently they buy from the same suppliers might be worth trying

Not to my knowledge. Bit of a bummer really. We have nowt good down in Brighton like that. Best we had was woolies and then Arcadia, god of the high street declared we would no longer have that either.

Brilliant! I bow to your superior tactics Patty
I guess we all have the magic wardrobe then ladies? The one that mysteriously fills with clothes. My hubby says "is that new?", to which you all know the bog standard reply, "what this old thing, I've had this for ages!" (It's just too easy)

My go to response...."I TOLD you about that. I KNEW you weren't listening, you NEVER listen..." And go all huffy. Works on so many levels, guilt predominantly.

My standard reply: 'It's an old favourite - I grew out of it but it fits again now I've lost weight'!
Definitely - but then it's all too often true anyway!

Double oops! (Scooter-girl will be wondering why Scooter-boy has suddenly discovered his feminine side)!

Haha! I'm lucky that I don't have to answer to anyone for my spending...quite how I would explain away the many, many, MANY pairs of shoes - THAT I NEVER WEAR - that reside in my wardrobe I do not know.
I should probably marry a foot fetishist.

Well surely that would defeat the object. You want to marry a SHOE fetishist.

...but..but...wouldn't that mean I'd have to SHARE? Plus he'd probably make me wear the shoes and some of those babies want my feet dead.
Nope.
Nope.

Only if they have the same size feet. If the shoe fits let the fetishist wear it. They could break them in for you.

Body Magic
So where's the magic at I wonder? When I joined SW last year I got all the jazzy booklets and although I flicked through the blue body magic one I freely admit it has been consigned to the "me" area of the kitchen shelf ever since. Tucked inside my handbook and concealed in the plethora of cookbooks (love a good cook book) (with hindsight there is quite the over abundance of o's in that sentence). Anyway **returns to point** I'm thinking of digging it out. The weight is going. I'm not a million miles off my initial target of 11 and a half stone and I'm thinking that the time may have arrived for a foray into the world of exercise (I'm yet to start my running - don't judge!! I've signed up and paid my fee so ill damn well be running race for life). So this week I bought a pilates DVD and a weighted hoop. I'm considering a bike as discussed previously and obvs need to pick up the running in time to do race for life. I haven't wanted to do it really until now if I'm honest. I would have felt a fraud, a blob pretending to be less blobby by throwing her blobby self around three times a week. Now I feel that it will make a visual difference to my body and so the impetus is there, at last, to get off my marginally lardy bum and tone it to within an inch of its life. Plus I have a 4 year old that I'm blaming for my mummy tummy. I need to take some responsibility here.
Tonight I begin with the hoop.....well Ill put it all together at least....one step at a time.

Hula-hooping is fun - even I do that! Have you got one for Munchkin to join in too? (Not weighted obs.)

I managed over 12 mins on my first try. I'm immediately converted I have to say. Its soooo much easier than when I was a kid with a flimsy plastic hoop. I don't have one for little one because there is barely enough room for me to hoop, I'd be worried I'd knock her bandy with it if she got too close!!! Don't get me wrong, the comedy value is obvious but I'd still feel guilty. A bit.
Im well impressed and can see how this and a return to pilates with a touch of running and maybe this blessed bike could really help shift the handles. I'm in no real rush so will take my time and introduce them piece by piece.
What hoop do you have Patty? I opted for the Argos pro/thingy one. £14.99 was well worth it!!
