SAT IN AND AROUND AND ALREADY GETTING DOWN.
She's better at me than most things, you know who, the new...
...wife. We're doing a series of the same exams together and because I have this other job, the radio one, she's now way ahead of me, in fact today she did a two and a half hour stinker of a practical and passed with excellence. It's just not fair. Still well done her and now woe is me.
I am making a call to arms people.
NOVEMBER THE 1st is the date. We are all going to go crazy with a full on six weeks let's get in shape blitz. I'm already weaning myself off all the naughty stuff and heading swiftly towards a weekends only food and booze blowout zone. Last night was health city and early to bed. I know when i've ahd an early night i can type faster. Thursday the excercise kicks in, ok we have a works do Thursday night but anything's better than nothing.
12 stone eight for Christmas, that's me and I know yo yo fitness and diets aren't ideal but for some of us it's the only way we know how. For now at least.
I forgot to mention, the whole time wewere at the Ray Davies gig, all we could smell was toast ! What's that about ?

You are very brave to start a diet so soon before Christmas CLP. I know that I need to but it just won't happen until the New Year. Actually the way that I'm eating lately you would think that I am due to hibernate soon!
While talking about food.....
I decided to cook beef casserole for dinner tonight. Nothing too exciting just one of those packet mixes.
Now the packet says to use cubed lean braising steak and cook for 1 1/2 hours. I bought diced beef which says on the back to casserole for 2 1/2 hours.
Totally confused. How long do I cook it for?
Should have bought the buy one get one free pizzas.

Remember the hare and the rabbit story chris, you'll catch in the home straight.
Ok so Nov 1 it is then fit and healthy (and skint) for xmas let's go.

Sunset greetings folks...... being blinded by the ball of fire settng and now I can't see the screen. Anyway this toast smell............. could it have been coffee wafting towards your seats from somewhere. I know I know ... but sometimes - well often actually, I smell coffee but somehow it smells like bread being toasted. I'm just taking my medication and am off for a lie down - if only.
Bye for now.

We're on the same regime.
We've got the CHASE 10k on Sunday and we still plan to do Snowdon before Christmas.
Oh, and I need to lose about half a stone. Not alot, I know, but it still takes a bit of effort in the right places, and restraint in others.
I still maintain that swimming is the best form of exercise, but anything that gets you really sweating is good. If you ever fancy that game of tennis, drop me a line.
I have a couple of theories about the Ray Davies/toast mystery.
From Dead End Street;
'On a cold and frosty morning,
Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning.
And my feet are nearly frozen,
Boil the tea and put some toast on.'
And, from The Village Green Preservation Society;
'God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties'
The great man clearly has a thing for lightly browned slices of bread. He probably had some on the go while he was on.
As my man-flu persists, I have been watching the Fantastic Four. You looked rather fetching in your blue skin-tight outfit.
Flame on.

Seems to be a recurring theme - the getting fit for Crimbo - we're the same....now that the dark evenings are afoot - what better way to mark it than to be out and about at night.......I'm sure there's some logic there somewhere...
That and all the DIY - in my case - destroy it yourself and hopefully I'll be fit as a fiddle by December. I've already weaned myself off the booze, but a course of antibiotics helped on that front...next up is hiding the chocolate!
Mrs Tickle will have me climb that mountain between now and then...
Toodle pip pip
Tickle :)
Same sentiments as me - currently hovering on scales with one leg, around the 13 and a bit stone - I'm 6 ft so I reckon I could lose around 7-8 lbs by Christmas - a 10-day sojourn to Bermuda at the start of December will not help - they drink a lot of Rum & Coke there - not good for the waistline.
Christmas is a good goal though - it'll be worth the torture!
PS are we talking flying exams her . . .???

Maybe Ray Davies likes a little bit of toast! A secret toast and marmalade eater. Ah white.
Debbie I can do that, make a stew.
Fry off meat in a little oil, then add flour enough to coat the meat. Add boiling water and a bit of gravy browning, salt, pepper. Then add carrots, and three large potoatoes and one large onion. Leave in Oven for as long as possible on a medium setting. The minimum is 3hrs really. This is a Northern recipe.
Bingo thanks for the reading.
Most interesting, although I don't think I would make a good teacher you know. I am a bit of a rebel and in my book rules are there to be broken. I suppose I hate conformity........
Good evening.
I am with you Christophe!
My really old, really very loose indeed jeans are now only just really old. This is SO not good. It bodes most ill for the fitting of any Christmas or winter celebration garment already purchased, and there is no way at all that I can start buying new things!
The first is it?

ps I have a 2000 word essay to write before 2nd December...is the Missus any good at essays?
Yo CLP & ALL Blog Operatatives,
Bingo Star ere again.
CLP Man - The best way ter lose weight is on the stockmarket..... I've gone from 15,000 pounds ter just 161 pounds in two days!!!!!
I'll reveal all about me BIG MESS i've got meself into.
It all started at me local dating agency were after 8 years & 783 dates i'm still inlucky in love so I decided it's time for a one ter one with the agency proprietor.... aka Linda Lovelady!!!
I said "Lin, why am I still unlucky in love."
She said "Bingo."
I said "pleeease call me Bin, call me Bin."
She said "BIN, what you need is chemistry."
I said "ahhhhh gotcha, chemistry... wink, wink... gotcha, munch two, munch damn two!!!!!!"
So blog friends I 'ung around me local chemists store until after five days when one of the dispensing operatatives called the damn ploice ter 'ave me dispensed blog friends!!!
I was arreasted for loiterance of the peace!!!!
DAT is the last DAMN time I use a dating agency!
I've know, sorry now, got a court appearance coming up as a result and only knows 'ow am gonna get outta this one as i've still got a damn contraditional discharge over me after me incidentation with Tiger Woods, at Carnoustie in July!
On top of this i'm still tryin' er get me agency fees back from Linda Lovelady!
CLP - Any chance of playin' Hue & Cry - Looking For Linda. I am damn cryin' blog friends, I am cryyyyin'!!!!!
Chow!
I am with you chris. I have already lost a stone at fat club (SWorld - other fat clubs available) and have committed to loosing another stone by xmas. Have put on this week I suspect as it's 'that' time of the month but am still committed to doing my best!!!
Can we weigh in here too?
C x x
Fair play to you Christy my friend, this time of year Id find it way to difficult to go on a diet, these winter evenings are made for comfort food!
And all the crimbo stuff on the shelves doesnt help, Ill start my diet in Jan! Still no sign of this baba making an entrance, thought things were happening last night, called the midwife got the bag in the car, packed wee man off to his friends and then.,........ NOWT. AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
Maybe Ray Davies has a Toast Claus.
I've been in bed with a Migraine ALL Day. Sorry I missed you. (Here and the Show). My head has been throbbing.
I'm going back to bed, onw that I've checked in.
What exams, by the way?
DWNB
I enjoy listening to your programme from 5 most evenings. Favourite slot is listening to the kids phone in at about 5.15. It warms my heart to hear such innocence and excitement in their voices.
My other favourite is what appears to be something new. You play the theme tune from The Waltons and on other evenings you appear to be playing the tune from 'Robinson Crusoe'. The former brings back some really lovely memories of watching the Waltons years ago with my father. His name was John and being the father of 10 children, I am sure he had lots in common with him. Really nice to hear it and it always puts a smile on my face. Where did the idea for that slot come from?
Only one gripe. When 'Johnny' is interviewing someone in the 'locker' why play that innane, annoying music in the background.
Apart from that - love the show (almost as much as Wake up to Wogan)
PS. I went on 'Lighter Life' diet 5 weeks ago and have lost 24 lbs. Why not just limit drinking to once a week and stop eating ready made meals or curries.
Hmmm Prof Plum, sounds good. But what is the difference between a Stew and a Casserole?
Totally decided tonight that I can't start a diet this side of Christmas.
However............ the firm that I used to work for untill March this year have invited me to their Christmas Party. At a rather nice hotel, sit down dinner, disco, the works. Now do I do the crash diet or just go and get a larger dress size?
My best friend told me the other day that I was shapely. She told me that Marilyn Monroe was a size 16. Was that her way of telling me to stop squeezing into a size 14? Then Mr Debbie told me over the weekend that I had an 'hourglass' figure. More like 24 hour clock.
Willpower is the answer, used to have some but I ate it!!!!
Debbie xx
...I think, even by its own standards, this blog is getting a bit self absorbed. Working people with kids have a zillion other things to get obsessed about than their "regimes" and latest book choices. Can we have a little wider outlook on the world please?
Debs, Burlesque is in baby!
Diane it's just a bit of idle chit chat, I work and have kids.
Just popped in to shut down my pc before I go off to bed..
diane dean - ouch!
Nite all xx
Cashier number one and all
Debbie if you come from oop north a casserole is called a stew.
Just like a recipe book is a cuke buke( that's northern for Cook book).
They make the best pies oop North and there is a little shop I know that make the best pies in the world.
Another recipe for you: Never roast a chicken. It all dries up. Place in a large pot with a lid on and leave in oven for a couple of hours on medium heat and now you have time to dance around the kitchen for a while. Then serve with vegetables of your choice. Cucking should be always be fun.
Hope this helps..
Wow, some new faces (or if not new, ones that I haven't seen here before, i.e. Diane Dean and Rosemarie Crowley).
I'm new to the blog and find it very cliquey at the moment. What's the secret? Perseverance or a repertoire of diet tips? Or maybe typing in an accent (love your work, Bingo). Throw me a bone here.
Or is this my Piscean over-sensitivity?
what a nice man you are inviting sexy lexy to your works do a damn fine gesture if i may say
Diane Dean - I also work and have kids x
Chris - I put myself back on Slimming World last week and I feel great! I feel so much better in the mornings and I've got lots of energy. I'd like to lose a stone before Christmas, is that achievable do you think?
Paperwork is calling.................
Em xx
Morning all. Diane, I work and have kids too - I love this blog precisely cos it's mainly idle chit chat - with a bit of support thrown in when needed, and a good few giggles!
Bingo - oh dear oh dear, what a mess!!! What you need, my good man, is a really good excuse for loitering in future (if you're planning on making a habit of it!). Get yourself a hi viz jacket and a clipboard. You'll be able to loiter almost anywhere then!
Happy Halloween/Hump Day all
T xxxxxx
Happy All Hallows Even every one!
What a day for a Hump Day...am already having a spooky day...got to work, switched everything on as usual…except I don’t turn my radio off at night, I just turn the volume down…my radio had not only been switched off, but the tuner had been turned right to the other end of the wire so all I could hear was that weird bong bong type noise and lots of whistling!
Take me to your leader
love
hazel

ps bong bong as opposed to bing bing
Aren't casseroles in t'oven and stews is on t'top?
Thanks Prof Plum, I never thought of doing anything with a chicken other than roasting it. I never seem to be able to carve one though, it just kind of crumbles.
Okay, I have decided that I'm not going on a diet as of tomorrow but.......just eat a little better and a little less. I suppose that is a diet though isn't it? Mmmm. I don't even know what I should weigh, I'm 5 ft 7 how do I find out?
Debbie x
RosieRoo, welcome to the blog x
Forgot to say, Bingo I'm a Sagittarian, born on the shortest day of the year (apparently the day all withches are born - spooky!) Tell me about myself....!
Em xx
Oh dear one and all
I promised myself not to say this but to Rosie Roo and Diane Dean.
I guess people post on here because they enjoy the Chris Evans show. No clique.
It's not a place for world issues well I don't think so. Write to Jeremy Vine for that one.
I write nutty stuff at times and if people don't respond I don't worry about it.... After all thats show bizz sister.
so, recipes aside then, what about 'r Heston last night..?
This is my 12,334,001 duck

ps Prof, try covering the breast with about 8 slices of streaky before roasting - if you decide you do ever want to roast a chicken again...then take it off about 20mins before end of cooking...lovely crunchy bacon, and turtley delishus moist chicken...
It's best moist, but that's not for here...
pps Diane, I work, I don't have kids, my job, though I love it, can get very lonely, so this is a little lifeline for me and I can write cr@p for England...no clique...just join in and have fun!
...and Rosieroo, perseverance is definitely key...
New blood....lovely!
Gosh Hazel I just sort of read cover the breasts with streaky bacon......is this better than an implant?
Morning all
Interesting, Chris Moyles could smell toast also at a different electric proms gig last week - Mark Ronson I think. Perhaps it's the thought of having to start a diet in 4 days. Don't think I could manage a diet just before Christmas, though when the bairns were wee, I used to lose weight over the festive season!
Mange tout et bon chance. xx
I work, albeit not for the past couple of days due to a severe bout of man-flu (a cold, to everyone else), and I do not have kids.
So?
I have posted on here for over a year and probably bore most of you to tears, but I have always liked the live-and-let-blog attitude here, as I presume, do most of the 'clique'.
As we've always said, if you don't like it, scroll on by.......
This place provides anyone with the opportunity to comment on Chris' blog and/or add anything else they wish. Well, that's how I always understood it. As such, we have seen happy blogs, sad blogs, jubilant blogs and tragic blogs, all of which make me and many others come back every day.
On the other hand, we could introduce a whole bunch of rules, this is allowed, that isn't etc etc?
Thought not.
Blog what you like, when you want to.
I'm sure Chris doesn't mind.
MfR
Aw shucks - did you never do the red wine and roll ups diet.
It really works.
Just not for me - as oscar wild (I think) said....my will is strong but my wont is weak.
Oh happy daze

YO ALL,
Bingo Star ere.
Gingembre - Sorry I wrote a comment #30 on yesterdees blog which was mean't for this blog. I writted ert on the wrong damn blog commentations area - i'm so damn stressed!!!!!
GREAT ter see alot of new faces on the blog.... well I can't see yer faces... I mean new writing oparatatives.
Rosie Roo - I know what yer mean about sometimes things are abit cliquey, especially when yer new to something including the blog.
Feel free ter join in in the fun Rosie cos there's alot of very nice & friendly people bloggin ere and CLP's a very, very nice DJ!!!!! (Sorry Broadcaster)
Rosie sometimes I feel it too though - I feel like i'm abit of a nutter, sometimes, just endlessly writing on CLP's blog for no reason.
But I just keep plodding away cos if I make one person laugh abit, it's damn good enough for me.
Plus if no one writted on CLP's blog there'd be no reason for CLP ter blog 'imself - so ter all - keep the faith... keep bloggin'!!!!
PS Rosie - Pisces one of my fav birth signs & being sensitive is good as it shows you care!
Tinsel - I'll take yer advoooce.. am off ter buy a hi - viz ter pull.... might get me inter BC 'ouse aswell - I 'ear with me ear that all of the Drivetime Mega Team wear them now!
Em M - This is so much fun all this astro talk. I think it should be a blog requirement ter 'ave yer sign next ter yer name as yer can learn alot about someone & avoid misunderstandings.
For example - when I e-mail CLP ter try and get 'im ter play some Greenday & 'e doesn't I don't 'old it against 'im..... oh no!!!!
I know it's beacause 'e's an Aries (1st April) & Mercury 'as just moved from Uranus ter Mars via Saturn with a stop at Jupiter thus causing the communication failure/ breakdown of eco wrock!!!
Em M - I'll bang an astro reading on the next blog - that's if The Grant, not the Carrey or the Eddie but the Russell, 'asn't phoned CLP ter get me removed from the blog before I put i'm outta a job!!!! Chow til l8r!!!!
Prof Plum - Yer sound like a good cook!!!
Can yer give me some advooce why me 'aloween special soup 'as gone wrong.
I decided ter celebrate the colours of 'aloween - with orange & black food.
So I go the tradtional orange 'aloween vegetable, carrots, and mixed it with some black liquorice, bring it ter the boil for some 'aloween soup - it tasted like tarrrrmacadamn.... damn it!!!
Tarr if yer could give me some advoooce as ter were i've gone inop on the situation!!!!
Chow!
Hi everyone - I'm new too though I do read the blog daily.
I hope some of you can advise me.
The menopause has suddenly (very suddenly) hit me. Hot flushes, especially at night, but some severe ones during the day which I am finding hard to cope with.
I have also changed from being placid, laid back and easy going to a bad tempered, foul mouthed, angry, frustrated monster. I even want to hit people at times. I'm tearful most of the time and certainly not interested in sex (I had a very good sex life until recently).
I do not want HRT but would welcome any suggestions please.
Katy
Ms RosieRoo and all, me new too!!
I'm very pleased to cyber-meet you. To me, you're already like people I've...read things about.
I've lost 22lbs in the last 6 weeks, simply by eating toast cooked over a primus at various acoustically advantageous locations.
SPP

Implants are the vegetarian option I think you'll find Plum.
...and toast at an electric prom...simple...
It'd be from the electric toaster, plugged in just near the electric kettle.
You don't get toast at unplugged unless you take a fork to hold the bread up to the nearest campfire.
On the last night of the proms it's best to take your own bread as what may be there has probably gone off a bit.
I just hope they've got real @nchor

Debbie - I'm from "oop North" and a casserole is cooked in a casserole dish in the oven, with layers of meat and potatoes; a stew is cooked in a pan on top of the stove, with meat, potatoes, onions, carrots and anything else lying around in the fridge!"
Got BP'd hmph!
Was only saying, (if this gets through this time!) Prof, if you could cover a breast with 8 slices of streaky bacon, surely implants wouldn't be needed!
Katy, I worked with a lady that planned to try herbal remedies but not sure how she got on I'll ask her when I speak to her next.
Welcome to all new bloggers x
Debbie (Taurus) x
oh (((Katy))) poor you. I talked to my doc about this recently as I felt the first flutters of the dreaded M and she recommended Agnus Castus (hormone regulating), glucosamine (for joints and to ward off the dreaded osteoporosis), try and eat lots of soya products - milk, yoghurt etc. She said that the over the counter remedies for menopause can be quite good but overpriced. Might be worth going into your local health food store and asking for their advice? There are some good natural supplements you can take ... Look up dong quai or black cohosh on t'internet, I have a feeling one of those is a good remedy for hot flushes.
Also, do weight bearing exercise (rather than something like swimming) - much better for us apparently, and try to keep your salt and alcohol intake fairly low.
Best of luck hon - I'm starting to know how you feel.

hi Chris et al
I have had a stressful week already, walked into work on monday and discovered there was a mistake in some accounts and i had to sort it by today, thankfully not my fault! It really shook me up as thought i may loose my job for a while.
I dont actually like my job, it is very boring and so far a way from what i want to do. The problem is i have loads of debt and a 3 year old to turn into a man! To loose my jon would have been a total disaster!
So now im sat so grateful for the job i hate!
How many people are doing what they want to do????
em26x
Blinky blimey it's getting hot in here.
Cliquey? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Fun? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!
Hello everyone, old and new. Sorry I've been absent for a few days - still really busy at work but the main reason is that bloomin' error message when trying to post. Is it sorted yet?
CLP's blogs have been very thought-provoking of late. The one about faith and religion in particular struck a chord. Out of pure curiosity,k I've asked Mr Diva for a book on Buddhism for Crimbo. He immediately took this as a sign that I wanted to shave my head, wear bedsheets and live up a mountain. I explained that I was curious about Buddhism as of all the religions, they appear to be the calmest, most serene and content bunch. Let's see is Santa delivers. Somehow I doubt it!
Stews vs Casseroles. I too thought it to be a common/posh north/south thing. Now the clocks have gone back and its dark in the middle of the day we love doing a huge casserole on Sundays - beef and real ale is a fave. Loads of veggies off t'allotment, loads of pulses, a bottle of good quality real ale, coat the beef in a flour/smoked paprika mix and fry off to seal it then just leave it simmering in the oven for about 3 hours. Best served with dumplings 9low fat suet of course) or hot bread. And there's always enough left over for Monday's dinner too. Winter bliss!
We're off to a firework party this weekend. That's a surefire sign of winter evenings. The only downside is that the bangs and whizzes scare the beejaysus out of my lovely little (scaredy) cat.
Chubby Club is still going well. Weigh in tonight . My clothes are getting looser so will have to go a bit hey-ho in the January sales!
Also getting very excited about Christmas. I'm going to get a black tree with pink decorations for my office. They think I'm bonkers anyway so I may as well confirm their suspicions.
Before I go, just wanted to say ...
martin james - don't be hard on yourself. Life's not always kind but as long as you sleep sound and wake up every morning then the rest will take care of itself. We're all here whenever you want to unload your mind. True!
Righteo, let's see if this posts OK. I'll have a very big hissy fit all afternoon if it goes AWOL!
Take care one and all.

PS: I'm a very typical Leo. Temperament of a pussy cat when in a good mood, and a roary lion if you cross me. And a MANE of tumbling locks upon me bonce! And I lke my belly being tickled.
PPS: Naughty Nic - what happened to the Russell Brand show this week please?
PPPS: CLP - thank you, thank you and thank you again for playing Rat Trap last night. I was going to marry Bob Geldof when I was about 10 but Ms Yates got in there first. The sound of his voice still turns my legs to jelly now tho!
Happy all hallows eve to you all.
So the little ankle biters will be out and about tonight - is anyone doing anything special?
How about some ghosty stories to enliven the blog.
I can tell you all about the ghostly somerset famer I saw when I was a bit bigger than an ankle biter. He was wearing an old fashioned full smock and carried a shepherd's crook with a dog - nothing special there until I passed him then turned around and wow you could make out the wooden gate behind him through the smock.......
Now anyone else
Oh yes I'm an aquarian not an antiquarian though.
All the best to old, new and bloggers and lurkers - everyone is welcomed on here.
Sorry not got any info on menopaws stuff - I know my mum just got on with it no medicine stuff for her.
Boo!
Phoenix
I'm new too although I have been reading for a while.
CLP - why do you think it is, that almost all of your bloggers are entirely sultana bound ? (fruit cakes to you).
Keep up the good work. Happy days.
Erik
PS Katy - I recommend Jenni Murray's book - "Is it me or is it hot in here?" - makes it all seem a lot less scary.
Txxx
Well ...... I've tried all day to keep my opinion to myself, but I have to give in!
diane dean: you have come to the wrong place. Seriously. "wider outlook on the world"? When there is Bingo Star who's hilarious, Hazel Love - the sharpest tool in the box and now Prof.Plum who is obviously Gordon Ramsay protecting his identity! I'm sorry, the blog is brilliant the way it is. Let it be!
RosieRoo - definitely no clique here. It's just that sometimes someone will say something that strikes a cord and things roll on from there. You may get an answer to your comment, you may not. I've said loads of stuff I thought I might hear back on ..... and don't! Hey Ho!
Welcome to the blog and also Rosemarie and SPP. Six months from now, you guys will be the new "clique"!!
Katy #34 - I would say get to your GP. They can suggest so much more than just HRT and you really don't have to suffer this way. My time for this is approaching fast and I have to say if I need HRT, I'll be taking it!

Hi all
I'm new to this blogging mularky and am slowly (some would say slow. ) becoming one with my middle names (dazed & confused).
Are all submissions posted on the site or are they filtered for 'interesting content' ?
Is there always a huuuuuuuuge time lag between posting and seeing ?
Why do you never see baby pigeons ?
Would you trust an electrician with no eyebrows ?
Answers on a post .... card would be greatly appreciated.
Be happy
Erik x
Well it is Halloween one and all
So thats why the blog has gone madder than ever...
Katy sounds like you are suffering from the meanie pause.
Bingo. keep stirring it.
And by the way, a stew is cooked in the oven I can assure you as I have been making them since I was aged 10 whils't me Mam and Dad worked a market stall all day on Saturday. No one had ever heard of a casserole in them days.
Hazel I sincerly hope you do not use @nchor butter.
only one butter and thats lur..k
Yikes Tinsel - I just read on t'interwebby that the Elf & Safety Numpties are banning "Tinsel" from hospitals over the festive period.
What WILL you do, hun??? We can't keep you in a box in the loft forever ....
kissy missy - how's it going hun? Is the drummer still wrapping his arms around you to keep out the cold? Hope you're happy!
Ctd xxxx
PS: 53 sleeps til Christmas!!!!!
Banning Tinsel????? How very dare they??????????????
I do despair of the people who make up these rules, I really do. Surely they can't REALLY believe they're making useful decisions, can they????
Changing t'subject though - dont know if anyone saw gorgeous Gordon on his new series last night - yummmmm, back to his old self rather than the horror that he becomes in Hells K USA.
He can come and tell me to get rid of my undies any day (you had to be there!!)

Phoenix, I have never seen or experienced anything paranormal. I remain open minded about these things.
My mum however has has some strange things happen. The night before my nan's funeral my mum saw a dark shape moving towards her and disappear, then her bed started shaking. Now that would totally freak me out, but mum was cool about it.
She saw a chair moving by itself in her office once too. Totally tilted backwards as though someone was leaning back in it, she was the only one in the room.
As for plans for tonight, I was going to carve a pumpkin for little man but I can't get one anywhere, totally sold out. Feeling a little guilty that I didn't try to get one sooner now. What a wicked mother!!!

Chris, diet now? i have been trying to get down to 16 stone, yes 16, for the last two years, seem to get as far as 18, then back to 19, help!
problem is socialising!! work takes me to lovely places so one must mustn't one?
now today as well as being trick or treat night is 10 years to the night that the wife and I first did the you know what i mean deed!!! so off out for lovely meal (bang goes the weight again) then who knows what is for afters???
Have great afternoon and show..
Dazza
I work and have kids .............so...........I think I missed the point!!!!
Anyway Debbie / Plum etc. to be a pedant. A casserole is a dish that you cook in. A stew is something that is cooked in a covered dish for a long time. So in practice they are probably the same thing!!!
Prof speaking as someone from up North any stew/casserole with spuuds in is surely neither but actaually a HOT POT!!!
Nev
Inspiration!
Got quite a bit of the bulge to lose and have been thinking about it for some time -
Here goes......it's going to be a long and lonely road!
