Hullo



Can you afford pasty women ?

Pasty, pastie, pastry-cheeked
good to see you

Mmmm...I could go a pastry right now

I'm trying to behave and not eat so much

(Sr Carmel always told me that self-denial always made you a better person...I would rather be happy than good, wouldn't you ??)

Good to be seen, my friend ! How swings it on your end of the planet ?

Defnitely better to be happy than good
Anyway I don't see any virtue in self-denial so long as you manage to avoid actual gluttony
Presumably if there is a god he put things here to be used

Things are pretty ok here now
Hows it going down under?

I’m trying to get in touch with my inner Catholic so that I can revel in not eating so much, instead of being unhappy because I’m not allowed to

I dig the concept…all I have to do is not eat so much and I won’t be so fat…and bigger picture can only be a good thing…I guess I just have to wait until my stomach realises it’s not going to be fed as much and learns to accept it

Things here are ok. It’s hump day, after all

I have a new bed, and it’s marvellous…big and firm…so I don’t wake up any more feeling like I have coil marks all over my body .

Still getting used to the new place though, of course. Haven’t really finished unpacking yet, and trying to work around other people is a challenge, but it’s not too bad

I'm lucky to have quite a high metabolic rate. If I took any exercise I'd be quite skinny

It was good when I got a double bed after years of sleeping in single beds. So much space

I have no metabolism to speak of…and the last couple of months have been so busy I haven’t had any time to *dance* which is where it all went, quite literally, pear shaped

Having said that I’ve always been fat. It’s never particularly bothered me and it doesn’t particularly bother the boy either, but if I can lose a little I won’t be sad to see it go

I didn’t get a big bed until I left home…ahhh, the sweet comforting cushiness of freedom

So long as you and he are happy right
I think too many people are obsessed with weight
Being too thin is just as bad as being too fat

I’ve been determined for the longest time to not worry about it. Now it would be more of a health thing than an image thing. And just to see if I can do it…especially since I don’t look like giving up the smokes any time in the near future

it’s funny because the boy has the same problem in reverse…he’s very small. He’s not skinny, he’s just muscle and bone. Turns out people have the same kinds of problems with small boys as they do with big girls. Stupid society

yep, stupid people
well I may try giving up cigarettes some time
just there always seems to be a good reason why now isn't the right time to do so <erm.

I know what you mean on the smoking front...but I can't remember the last time I had two free weekends in a row...hopefully it will sort itself out soon...

...maybe I can be one of those people who gives up on NYE. It seems to be the biggest break I get from work or obligations...hmmm, we'll just have to wait and see...

a free weekend, whats that ?
I have a free Friday evening this weekend
but Saturday and Sunday are busy like most weeks
All good fun things but sometimes I just like to vegetate

Friday night me and my brother are going out to find out where our new local will be

(our pub will always be our pub...but I like the thought of having a pub in staggering distance !)

sounds like a good idea
I shall be trying to spend very little this month so I have lots of money for when I'm in Peru

Every pay I try to be good with my money...and then before I know it it's gone again...

I haven't been doing too badly but last couple of months what with going to Ireland and wedddings and things I haven't done so well and since I want to have some money for Oz next year I'm trying to raise my spends for Peru from this month and next months pay which means when I get back from Peru for the last week of September I shall be stony, absolutely brassic but it should be worth it

At least you'll have had something to show for your money !

I just can never get my act together when it comes to money…all of the sudden I’m buying everyone’s dinner at trivia, or buying my brother smokes when I buy my own. I just do it out of reflex…next thing I know I’m broke.

Oh well, lucky the boy’s good with those things…

I'm not good with money
My brother managed to save money when he was a student
Now thats good with money. He works for a financial products company now.

I’m shocking with money. I come from a family of people who are shocking with money. It’s the one thing that the boy is more responsible for than I am.

(Not that he’s not responsible…but I am a Capricorn…we’re the most responsible people in the world!!)

Generally i'm pretty irresponsible
Don't plan ahead, procrastinate, live for the day
But then again tomorrow I might be dead
