Come on in have a cup of hot coffee fresh from the cafetiere, it's posh stuff (by costas). Put your feet up and relax.

Now, who's got something funny to make us all smile (I'm having a s****y day)

Oh, and anyone got any fancy biccies?

He was in an assisted flat as he had spina bifida and me him and his girlfriend made about 4 dozen fairy cakes....and scoffed the lot. We were in the middle of a final fantasy marathon on the PS1 ... 36 hours straight! aye them were the days lol. All them cakes and I was still only 8st 3.

Tina, I was still the same weight until my thyroid problem (underactive) when I was 25, but even then only went up a few pounds... when I had my op 18mo later I steadily started putting on weight but function tests come back normal with thyroxine therapy. Went from 34b to 36DD in a year, although it almost felt like overnight that I looked down and went "woah, where did them puppies come from?" lol.

oooooooh strawberry cheeeeeesecake *drooooooool*

Harpstrings

Harpstrings Report 28 Feb 2008 12:44

lmao ....yes but did the puppies come with slippers i.e. padding on the hips!

lol xx

I hope you realise I have had to go and raid the kitchen and the first thing I can think of is toast and marmelade - mmmm its lush - dont mind now if I dont have coffee cake with baileys!!

The slippers came later lol... took a couple of years for them to sneak in.

This getting up early is flawed as you end up needing more food lol... may go and pick mum up from work in 20mins.
