Michael, "candy" is American! "Lollies" are Australian!

When you do movie it to the appropriate thread I've got some things to say about that, I've been enjoying the #YAsaves debate on Twitter

Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments It IS too cold! become a shift worker Melanie then your 'real' job will not get you out of bed too early.


message 2779: by Adhityani (new)

Adhityani (dhitri) I hope I don't sound too vain... but I am 4 kgs away from my pre-pregnancy weight and I have desperately tried to lose those last few kgs! I have tried a few diets, but buckled under pressure and the need to maintain my milk supply. And now that winter is here, I find myself snacking on a regular basis to keep myself warm (a muffin here and there).

Next week I will try a new tactic to stop my snacking - I am going to call it the Book Diet. Four muffins roughly equals one Kindle book, so I am going to tell myself that if I can hold it out until Friday, I earn myself a book! Let's see how that goes...


message 2780: by [deleted user] (new)

best idea I have heard!


message 2781: by [deleted user] (new)

message 2792: by [deleted user] (new)

Damn it I just got a virus on my computer at work. The IT dude is a bit pissed off with me.


message 2793: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes well they should be. Why weren't our virus checks up to date? When I rang the guy he was in the middle of cleaning the same virus off someone elses machine. I wasn't trying to download anything I simply did a googled to find out how to spell something. Obviously not a safe thing to do.


message 2794: by [deleted user] (new)

Google are going to find them selves in a bit of bother you would imagine. I have been in discussions with people who simply refuse to google now. After this there will probably be a crack down at work about googling. I am not keen to repeat the processing. It is very embarrassing. It felt Like I got caught with my hand in the biscuit tin. (wanted to say cookie jar).


message 2795: by [deleted user] (new)

:O no googling! i have to google!


message 2796: by ★ Jess (new)

★ Jess  | 3071 comments their*

I dont think I could live without google.
But it would mean more time for actual reading, which is never bad...

"Dhitri" - A friend of mine quit smoking using the same system. She put an expensive watch on lay-by and every time she would normally have bought a pack of ciggies she went and paid an instalment on the watch instead.

Good luck. I wouldn't worry too much though - by the time your baby is moving, e.g. crawling then walking - you'll be getting a lot of exercise!

I have missed out on a lot obviously...grammer police? I guess that would make me the most wanted, I suck at grammer :DDDDD


message 2800: by [deleted user] (new)

Meb you are in good company.

I have finally gotten rid of the virus on my computer. Well the IT guy did it really, I just smiled sweetly and promised to be good in future.
