I can't stand people telling me what to do!

Oh me too OJ. I must be a real treat to work with :-(

Really bloody annoying what business is it of his where you live anyway if you were happy to travel? They're probably really disorganised and would have always been wanting you to drop everything and go in at 5 mins' notice. You've probably had a lucky escape ;-)

Fabulous tail. And what a kind thing to do - hope his remaining days are very happy (and he isn't too much of a terror!)

Hello everyone

Oh thank you all ;-)

Yes OJ, still mosaicing, one in progress just behind me as I type this and hoping to do some bigger ones for the garden soon ;-)

Just saying hello again - I used to post a bit but I've been away for quite a while. So, hello, I'm Susie, I live/ work in Cambridge, I'm fairly rubbish at being ish but always aspiring to be better ;-), and everyone on this site was always so helpful and inspiring when I posted before. So, nice to ...

I've boycotted facebook for ages partly because of the whole privacy thing and partly because our computer was too slow to work with it. I've suddenly found myself on a fast computer so I'm wondering if it's worth taking the plunge again - should I grit my teeth and go for it? I can't decide. This i...

(Before anybody gets on their high horse about how dreadful we vegans are, as i can hear it coming, it always does: I have never been smug, or told other people they shouldn't eat whatever.

I'v not been doing well, i keep eating too much when im trying to fast then it all goes out the window. Demi, I really don't want this to come across as mean or unhelpful, but: you've said in past threads you've got a history of eating disorders which I can't remember if you said you'd recovered fr...

[quote="Susie" I accomplished a fitness goal yesterday - dragged myself to yoga even though I was feeling a bit crappy and managed this - it's not that difficult That's where I'm going wrong....Always looking for an easy way out. ....If I need to scratch my bum I just rub it against a doo...

When I cut the booze,which is probably the only way I'll ever lose weight,I just can't bloody sleep. I'm the other way - it's why I hardly drink, I just can't face the insomnia. That doesn't help you, sorry, but I know a friend of mine had your problem, I think he used to take valerian - I know tha...

I have also signed myself up to run a 5K fun-run in July for Parkinson's UK, as my MIL was diagnosed last year. Believe me, I am NOT a lover of exercise (other than the outdoorsy walking and gardening type), and I'm certainly no jogger; and I could do with a group like this to kick me up the bottom...

but I do know MMM that a lady living in the UK at this point in time, who has recently dieted to get into a 16 dress size, comes on here to read nice gardening stuff, would be mortified to find people saying that a 16 is really a 20, and they should get real and accept they are still FAT.
