My younger daughter made Christmas crackers for her siblings last year as she had only started her part-time job a month before Christmas and was low on funds. She put a lot of thought into it and her gesture was well appreciated. I think she used empty loo rolls and coloured paper and I can't...

I went for it too, being a sucker for a pretty print...and a huge radio fan also, obviously!

Glad this is the once a year exception...and I'm buying :)

I got that watch as a OTO at the beginning of the month. I think it might be old info.

I love that dress too Dips, but I've never had the cash to buy it. Do you have it and love it?

Ooooh, that's lovely!! Thanks SCW :)

Exercise certainly helps as it burns calories and tones, but weight loss is 80% food and 20% exercise. As far as eating what you want, our consultant said that although SW doesn't count calories, if you are eating excessive amounts of free foods, you will exceed the recommended calorie intake...

There's no doubt about that, felinewoman. I'm sure we've all seen articles on the net or in the press about how plate sizes have increased over the years, as have portions in restaurants and fast-food outlets. A pal who goes to SW has two teenage sons with enormous appetites and she has bought...

I have my eye on the turquoise/howlite one! Not a bad price either.

Life would be very dull without a few events indeed, Nora! I got half a pound off this week and was a little disappointed. I had a chat with my consultant and I need to re-vamp my lunches. I was eating far too much at lunch, including mounds of rice or pasta and feeling a bit bloated, as I...

Always! It's an extreme sport, don't you know? ;)

Well done, miss molly, that's a great loss, you must be feeling very encouraged. I'm glad you went back, Felinewoman, even though you have to pay this week! I know that for many of us, keeping weight off is a life-time struggle!! I lost another pound this week, and am trying to stay encouraged...

Yes, it has just happened to me too and it's very annoying. When I tried again, they had disappeared. Strange...

I was a little disappointed with my 1lb loss this week as I'd expected to do a bit better. However, I'm not going to let that set me back! I had a chat with my SW consultant after and she went over my food diary, showing me where I went wrong. My portion sizes are fine, FW, but I'm a huge fridge...

So far, I am loving SW. I'm on the EE plan, Miss Molly and haven't had to make too many drastic changes to my eating. I gave the cider a miss last night though!! It weakens my resolve too much, never mid the huge amount of Syns! And well done on your weight-loss, despite going through tough times.

I have defected and left WeightWatchers!! I've lost heart with dieting and need to lose 25lbs, but can't summon up the enthusiasm for points any longer, so last night I went to my local Slimming World. At the moment my head is in a bit of a tizzy trying to work out Food Optimising and syns, but...

Gawd, this brings back memories for me too! Is was in 5th year in 1975 and coloured mascara was the big thing. All the girls in our year were called to a special assembly about dress, hairstyles and make up. In N Ireland in the 70s all schools had fairly strict uniform codes, but grammar schools...

Superskin was a revelation to me last winter as my skin has suffered dreadfully in the cold weather last winter and I'll be buying this. I was moderately impressed with the makeup from the last TSV, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. I'm not fussed bout the hair care products, but my 16...

I (temporarily) gave up on Gatsby in favour of finishing the Millennium trilogy. The Girl Who Played with Fire is gripping and I can't wait to get stuck into part three. Next up, Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies.

Excellent idea and long overdue. I always manage to 'mislay' the paperwork!
