[Pete.]

UK pressed when it turns out to be Geri halliwell :idc:

[Glenn.]

I'm so bored

[Ammi]

How can people be so wicked as to treat animals like this,I am so glad there are people out there who DO care and have nurtured those dogs back to health and they look so different.


..yeah I know it's sad Kaz, but it's so lovely to see how much they've been loved in their new homes and how healthy and happy they look...

[Z]

My mum's website is up and running, I'm so proud of her :love:

[Jack.]

Oh what does she do Gregg?

[Jack.]

[Jack.]

So proud of her :D I wish I was at home, I want to give her a hug! Anyone else ever feel like that?

Well I live a home with my mother so I don't have to wish :joker: bit yeah I know what mean :)

[Z]

Sometimes all you need is a hug from your mum :)

[Jack.]

Sometimes all you need is a hug from your mum :)

Yeah that is so true. I think everyone has their down days when all they want is a big hug off their mum.

[Jake.]

Sometimes all you need is a hug from your mum :)

Yeah, agreed :)

[T*]

Submitted my game idea to Josy, crossing my fingers that itll get approved :D

When I used to be a groundworker there was some nice eye candy on site :love:

[T*]

Sluts... :idc:

[Kate!]

I'm poorly sick. :(

[Glenn.]

Erin Brockovich is on :love:

[Jack.]

I'm loving it. The office I'm in is opposite were they are working. So I spend most of the time looking at them :D

[Jack.]

I'm poorly sick. :(

Oh sorry to hear that Kate. Get well soon.

[T*]

Erin Brockovich is on :love:

Your concern is touching in the extreme




:laugh:

[Jack.]

Ugh I must have ate something iffy. I've spent half the night being sick. :yuk:

I think I have ate something iffy aswell, I've been back and to to the toilet all night.

[Kate!]

I think I have ate something iffy aswell, I've been back and to to the toilet all night.

:( it's awful isn't it? I want to go to sleep but I can't settle.

[Jake.]

I want eurovision to open :fist: when does the actual contest begin?

[Jack.]

:( it's awful isn't it? I want to go to sleep but I can't settle.

Yeah I sure is. Thankfully I think my stomach is settling now :) hope you get to sleep soon :)

[Kate!]

I want eurovision to open :fist: when does the actual contest begin?

Tibb Eurovision?

[Drew.]

Think Shaun said it opens fairly soon

[Jake.]

Tibb Eurovision?

Yeah, Shaun said that it'll open around the same kinda time

[Drew.]

It opened 2 months or so before last year, gave everyone a chance to claim a country and write their songs.

[Kate!]

I've not done my lyrics yet!

- panics -

[Drew.]

finding a song to base it around took me like a month last time, thats the worst part

[Jake.]

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222584&highlight=eurovision

if its the same as last year then 2-3 weeks until it opens

[Z]

I've still not been inspired yet. I rewrote a rap in a recent hit but I don't think I'm going to use it because I don't know what else to do with the song. Hmm

[Drew.]

Time to break into the top 10 this year

[Jake.]

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222584&highlight=eurovision

Ah thanks Drew

What place did you finish last time then

[Drew.]

12th i think it was, My song was dedicated to Purdy so i'll give him the credit

[Jake.]

yes 12th it was

[Kate!]

I've got three songs I think I can work with and have some very basic lyrics to start each one off, all the same theme :D it's a question of which can I make funniest?

[Glenn.]

Your concern is touching in the extreme




:laugh:

I love Erin Brockovich :love:

[Z]

I genuinely don't think I can top last year's effort, I'm STILL proud of it

[Ammi]

Sometimes all you need is a hug from your mum :)


...awww, I know..I don't live close to my mum and when I feel a bit low or anything, I always phone my mum ...a telephone hug from your mum..:lovedup:...

[Kate!]

...awww, I know..I don't live close to my mum and when I feel a bit low or anything, I always phone my mum ...a telephone hug from your mum..:lovedup:...

:love: aww this made me smile. Never a truer word, I used to be on the phone to mum at the drop of a hat, for a grumble if need be, or to share something funny I'd seen or heard. And to discuss Corrie and Eastenders :laugh: little things like that are the loveliest memories. It's a comfort cos I know exactly what she'd say in any given situation :)

[Kate!]

I love Erin Brockovich :love:

I've never seen it Glenn, think it's the only Julia film I've yet to watch. Must try to see it.

[Ammi]

:love: aww this made me smile. Never a truer word, I used to be on the phone to mum at the drop of a hat, for a grumble if need be, or to share something funny I'd seen or heard.

....awwww, Kate..:hug:..the good thing I find though..(with my dad..)..is that whenever I really need him to advise me on something in a way that only he could, I think about it and somehow his voice is still there because really I know what he would say from a lifetime of knowing him, so he's never really left at all...

[Kate!]

Yes, that's spot on Ammi. I can hear her tone in my mind, and as mentioned it's a great comfort. I woke this morning and came on here, the first two posts I read were yours and one from lostalex which I've put in my sig. Both really really made me smile. :hug:

You all set for work then? The weekends seem to fly by don't they?

[Ammi]

..yeah, I think that Alex is a very deep thinker..:love:...it's my day off today Kate, so I'm going to rock n roll and do basically nothing..:amazed:..I did have a very busy and productive day yesterday though so I don't feel guilty at all...

[Kate!]

Nothing nicer than a Monday off :) I've got a fairly quiet day today, I'm planning to rearrange my bedroom though, that'll be ... erm ... Fun. Lol.

[Ammi]

...ooo, what are you going to re-arrange, move the furniture around etc..?..

[Kate!]

Yes, I'm moving my bed and a set of drawers, so I can have a small tv in here. It's a reasonably spacious room and it'll look better than it does ATM.

[AnnieK]

Morning ladies

[Kate!]

Morning Annie :hug:

[Ammi]

..whenever we watch TV in bed, we always fall asleep in around 10 minutes and then both say...'what happened at the end of that programme, I missed it..'...oh, em, I might have just nodded of for a few seconds there..:laugh:...are you going to have a wall mounted or free standing one/really nosey this morning....

[Ammi]

I had a lovely birthday thanks Ammi....although it is officially the oldest I'm going to get, I'm counting backwards from now on!!

Have you both had good weekends?

[Ammi]

..awww, you're not very old at all Annie, but we don't get older anyway..we just grow more fabulous...

...yeah, I had a good weekend, I went shopping on Saturday and bought something to wear for a party I'm going to..AND I HATE IT ALREADY..ugghhh, I hate clothes shopping but I did get nice shoes...yesterday I made three different kinds of soup and had a really domestic day..:amazed:..the boys think they have a new mum...

Not sure yet, I'd prefer wall mounted, but maybe on a stand, if it doesn't look crammed in.

Agrees, tell them they'll have to get their own fries today and get back under the duvet.

We'll call it Duvet Monday in the Lounge.

[AnnieK]

I get a "duvet" day as part of my benefits from work....I've never used it though.

Ellen DeGeneres isn't funny

[Glenn.]

Y'all disgusting people

[Ammi]

..there isn't a lot of Ellen love this morning, I only watched the last little bit of the Oscars so didn't really see her at all...

[Glenn.]

You're not disgusting Ammi :love:

Just the Ellen haters :idc:

[Vanessa]

I like it better when one of the actors presents it.

Glenn:

[Ellen Degeneres. She ruined it. I positively LOVE Ellen, and yet she ruined the show by turning a glittering movie tribute--an annual ceremony dedicated solely and exclusively to the motion picture industry--into a version of a television show! Ellen did the one thing she knew how to do: namely, be a TV host. Incredibly, she treated this gathering of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science members as if they were a daytime studio audience, a TV game show audience.]

They're just people Arista. Why should they be treated differently? If anything she blurred the lines between movie star and real people.

Getting a pizza delivered to the oscars>>>> boring hosts

The thought of seeing you write in sentences was distressing enough, without seeing "I positively love Ellen".

Twisted my melon, man.

[Glenn.]

Yeah and I was up at stupid o'clock today.

Four years ago I had a tutor who was really brilliant at his job and I filled out a feedback form saying he was the best tutor I'd ever had and he'd really made me passionate about an area of studies that I'd never been interested in before. Fast forward to now and I'm writing my dissertation about that topic and he's been made a full time lecturer at the university. I like to think my feedback form is part of the reason why he was employed as a lecturer, I've never written so much on a uni feedback form before in my life, all of it positive. I'm including him in my acknowledgments for my dissertation even though he's not been part of the advising process.

I'm wearing a pair of size 34 jeans, can't believe they ever fit me, having to wear them with a belt because without one they just fall right down to my ankles LOL. So pleased with my weight loss over the last 8 months :D

[Vanessa]

I'm trying to lose weight as well. Eating out has made me put on weight. :fist:

I went through a similar thing so i know how good it feels, well done! :D The moment I could get 32 jeans on was fantastic

[Z]

I still have a long way to go but I'm so much happier with the way I look now, it's making it all so much easier to keep going. The better you look, the better you feel, generally. I'm going to start going to the gym once the semester is over and I've finished all my course work.

[Vanessa]

I've lost a little bit already. I'm cutting all sweets and take aways out.

I couldn't agree more, it really does help raise your confidence levels. When rummaging through my documents I found a picture of a load of us at prom, I felt sick :laugh: and I need to join the gym again, there's only so much dieting can do for you afterall :)

[Vanessa]

My holiday is amost over, but i'm going to Wembley Arena on saturday. :amazed:

[Z]

I've lost a little bit already. I'm cutting all sweets and take aways out.

I've not bought bread, butter or cheese since August. I'll have the odd sandwich now and then from a supermarket but I think that was really the main source of my weight gain. I've just been eating a lot of veg, cutting out the crap, getting a half hour of exercise (usually walking; was tennis in the summer) every day and not snacking. It's been gradual but I think I've lost about 2 stone now. I've still got a bit of a chubby face though which is annoying me, I'll only really be going to the gym to get on the treadmill to shift the weight from my cheeks, once that's gone I'll be pretty happy!

I'll just try to eat healthy and go for a walk on my days off. I hate going to the gym. . :hugesmile:

[Z]

I'm very aware of the fact that if I don't get my ass in gear now, it'll be a lot more difficult to do it from July onwards when I'm working full time. When I move back home I'm going to have to insist on making my own meals; my mum is notorious for making lots of food and insisting that all the boys eat everything and barely touching it herself, I don't want to say she's the reason I'm fat because that's down to me but it makes it so much more difficult to keep the weight off when your own mother's insisting you eat or food'll go to waste.

[Kate!]

I'm starting the gym next week, determined to get more healthy. My fitness levels aren't as good as they used to be although they're reasonable as I walk a lot and take stairs rather than escalators (I'm afraid of escalators)

Also I'm on day 3 of my no alcohol pledge, I'm going to try and continue to stay off it for Lent.

[Jake.]

I wish the puppy fat from my cheeks would disappear but i realise I'll have to work for that :laugh:

I always thought gym memberships should be free for everyone, but once you sign up you'd have to sign 12 month contracts. You'd then be charged for the days that you don't go instead of a fixed fee.

[Kate!]

Lmao Ness, you crack me up, you quote me and then say something completely unrelated :D

[Vanessa]

I think it's better to go for a walk or use the bicycle. Much cheaper as well.

[Jesus.]

If it was free i would try it.

I always thought gym memberships should be free for everyone, but once you sign up you'd have to sign 12 month contracts. You'd then be charged for the days that you don't go instead of a fixed fee.

That's a pretty good idea!

Not a bad idea. Definitely viable. Needs to accommodate workers though, and take into account travel costs for others. Some local health authorities offer free gym memberships for people on low incomes for 6 month periods through Doctor referrals, my town don't offer it (quelle surprise :rolleyes:) but it's a really good thing and worth people looking into.

I love the gym, used to go regularly (way back in the mists of time) and have a swim as well. Love swimming.

I have a great gym ten minutes down the road, need to reconsider joining

I used to love going with my bicycle. I need to buy another one. My old one got stolen.

I like running on the treadmill, I can sort of lose myself in it and easily go half an hour - an hour once my fitness levels are up. I don't feel that running outside is the same thing at all, I'd find that embarrassing and difficult to do because you may have to change your pace due to terrain or external factors. With the treadmill it's repetition and there are no surprises.

[Glenn.]

I may join the gym.

Who am I kidding? :hehe:

[Vanessa]

My sister likes running, but i hate it. Prefer walking.

[Z]

When I went home at the weekend I planned on seeing my older brother and confronting my parents about it. In the end I was having such a nice time at home with my parents that I didn't want to upset the balance. Really going to need to man up and do it when I move back home, it's gone on long enough :/

is that about portion sizes when it comes to dinner Greg? My mums the same, every meal I ask which plate is mine and she replies 'the bigger one kid'

God yes, I'd never be seen out jogging. Perish the thought. Give me a modern gym with the latest equipment and music pumping any day. Makes exercise a pleasurable experience.

[Jake.]

I might look into signing back up again on Wednesday actually!

[Glenn.]

When you get ripped will you post pictures? :creep:

Yes exactly that. I mean it's not like that's the reason I'm overweight, I could just exercise more to cancel it out, but I feel if I was always in charge of what I eat (as I am when I'm away at uni) then my weight is entirely manageable. Not the case at home.

[T*]

Lmao Ness, you crack me up, you quote me and then say something completely unrelated :D

What do you mean? The teddy is scared of lifts! :nono:

I think being fat as a teenager and having the motivation to lose that weight as a young adult is a learning curve that sets you up for knowing how to manage your weight for the rest of your life; compared to people who get fat as young adults and don't have the resolve to lose it because they were always thin and now they're not.

Ah that's not a bad view actually

[Z]

Like even on here we have Lewis and Conor who have posted really inspirational weight loss pictures; they had weight problems as teenagers and now that they're young adults they've taken the steps to lose the weight. Compare that to someone who was naturally skinny as a teenager but a combination of drinking too much, bad eating habits and a lack of exercise has left them overweight and they've never had to battle that problem before and often don't have the motivation to do anything about it. I just know so many people (myself included) who have battled hard with their weight after years of being overweight as children/teenagers and have managed to lose all the extra weight; and so many people who went to uni, got really fat and barely leave the house anymore because they're so mortified by what they've done to their bodies.
