Logistics day successfully completed yesterday. Our bus is not too pikey as it's a private shuttle that goes between our two office buildings - we don't let the public on!!!
Managed to do a shortened gym session this morning with no adverse effects on my tweaks (so far) but the weigh-in last night confirmed the gain I feared (0.9kg). But I'm still below 110kg, which was a barrier for me from the wrong side for the last 3 years. That just makes me more determined to lose this week so that I definitely don't go back above it.
I am on school run duty today so will be leaving the office at 2pm again (I am a lightweight, I'm fired). Talking of which, the final ink goes on paper either today or tomorrow to confirm all my leaving details. Shame really, as for the last week the cash sum has been increasing every day. Not by much in the grand scheme of things, but the odd grand or six ticking upwards is not to be sniffed at...this time next week Rodney! Well, OK that's stretching it a bit but every little helps!!!
Maybe I should invest in property abroad???

Hi Moose,
You must be getting pretty excited about your move. A change is as good as a rest ..... and all that!
Weight-wise, I agree that if you stay on top of things and don't let yourself go over what is your personal limit, you will be o.k. I feel just the same, though I am struggling to get my head round the diet. But I simply must keep those precious 4lbs off, so I am making a bigger effort this week. Of course, if I stuck to the food plan, the weight would come off, but it has to be said, I am faffing about!
Hope everyone is o.k. Thursday has been busy for me so far, so I'm hoping the day will zoom in and soon I'll be sitting watching House with a wee glass of white wine! Hmmm, wonder why the diet is not working!!

Thanks for the reminder Chrissie, I'd forgotten it was House night.
My current weight problem is that I've stopped only eating when I'm hungry. I thought I had it cracked and then let my guard down...it will be interesting for me to try to keep good habits going over the next week or two without the regularity of workplace etc that I'm used too. I'm slightly concerned about having too much time at home and too many opportunities for stopping whatever I'm doing for lunch/snack/cup of tea etc because I want a break rather than I'm hungry or thirsty. Iron will power will be called for I think. The upside is that I should have even more time for long workouts and calorie burning. I haven't listened to Paul McKenna for a while - maybe I need to get back to that until I'm back on track...
I should wait til it crashes, and then go in for the kill...

coming soon to a cinema near someone.
...and you're not even leaving really are you. P'raps you could get on the shuttle and just go backwards and forwards for a bit, just so it feels as though you've gone somewhere...and you could go into the bank with your MASSIVE (mooseive) cheque, get them to change it up into £1 coins, put it in your pockets and see if you can feel what it's like to be a bit rich.
Mind you, with all the weight you've lost, you'll need a good quality belt.
Talking of which, the boy got a belt the other evening. 33,000 volts worth.
That's Marks and Spencer for you.
Hey Moose
Hey Everyone
My weight loss efforts have been progressed this week, in so far as I got back photographs of the wedding I attended in April..OMG!
So Bums Legs Tums on Tuesday, Pilates on Wednesday, Burlesquesize and core stability This evening Walk on Friday…then stuff my face over the weekend!
I do hope all goes well for the “new job” – fancy office..etc You might quite enjoy it

Hazel - by jove, I DID get it - thank you.
Moose - I know I have been absent for a couple of days so I have probably missed the source. However, it's been a while since I have seen a gentleman's 'tweaks'. Where are they? Must search harder next time. At least you have no adverse effects on yours. Phew.
DD - hello to you, and, as HL said, how delightful.
I was nearly naughty the other day.......the following anecdote is being written with a smile and is not to be taken literally, cynically or any other-ly.......you can take it with Tet-ley though.....
A (married) aquaintance passed by my front door the other day (not a euphemism). We were chatting outside and having a laugh. In a nutshell she was chatting about her domestic life and she said that there was no bedroom activity 'in our house' (she said it with a big laugh as it was in context of a joke). She then said to me that if she had some time off work (like I have) she would decorate her house from top to bottom. The implication being that I wasn't and most probably wouldn't be using my time thus. I thought this a little judgemental, nay, presumptive regarding my desires or not to decorate ......and I so wanted to deliver a little cheeky one-liner that shot through my mind as a reply to her............I wanted to say back......'well, if I had a man in my house each night like you do, then I would be partaking in bedroom action, top to bottom'!!!!!!.....I wouldn't have said it and I didn't....made me smile though.

Is there enough room in the saucy/naughty corner for you Gaby?
I bet your tongue was red raw from all that biting of it!
Ooer, yes, on 1st reading, I did not notice the tweaks. Is is something between his "twiddle" and his "cheeks"
Caroline
As Gaby started the sauce I thought I would try to join her in the naughty corner…if there is enough room… squeeze up!!
Anyhoo try this joke for size..
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven. At the gates, St Peter told Arthur, "Since you've been such
a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven"
Arthur thought about it for a minute, then said, "I want to hang out with God."
St Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God, who recognized Arthur and said, "Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Well, what's the big deal in inventing something
that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?"
Arthur was embarrassed, but finally spoke, "Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?" God said, "Ah, yes." "Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention:
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusion
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds
3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble too much
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust
5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!"
"Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on."
God went to his celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours!"

Gaby- Oh how very cool of you not to blurt it out! I'd have been sniggering for life!!!
Big Un- Great joke (as always)!!!
Moose- It's nearly time to go... you and Nic :((( at least you'll still be around :))))
Right I have to go prepare myself for the "date" eeeek!!!!!!!

wish me luck
Evening all
Truly mad day at work and no time to read, yet alone comment. Have only skimmed comments, so forgive me if you've seen this before ...
http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007190295,00.html
Whatever next? (That wasn't a challenge by the way!)
Good luck for your date Lyndyloo. If you ever need help with any ex-rugby players I'm your woman.
Soon be time for House, so time to get settled with a small glass of something ...
A domani
On film themes (and songs) -
Moose Free - as free as the Moose blows (that's to Born Free just in case anyone didn't pick-up!)
Moose sera sera - what ever will be will be.
MOOSE - hope tomorrow goes the way you want it to. Best wishes for your new future.
Oh, I'll be round for at least some of the party.
EG
Evening!
Reads as though you've all had fun again today I do miss you all when I'm in the office!
Too busy today to even go onto CLP's blog, but there you go!
Moose - you know where you've gone wrong, make amends and carry on. Sounds as though you're doing pretty well to me. I do hope that tomorrow is as you want it to be and I'll try to drop by for some of the party!
Lindyloo - I hope you've had a great night!
Lunch was lovely today...
Out again tomorrow night and Saturday night. Alotn Towers is off the menu - waterskiing has been offered instead! Erm...
So, packed weekend ahead and here I am blogging at this time of night!
Gaby - I'd have said it - with a huge smile, of course!!!
Love all,
S xx.
P.S. Breakfast at Moose's

Mornin' everyone. I've got a note from my mum 'cos I'm going to absent for the next few days.
It's my birthday on Sunday and 'im indoors is taking me away for the weekend ... I don't know where we're going but we're leaving in two hours' time and won't be back until Sunday. So, have a great weekend everyone - I'm forgetting the job seeking for a few days!
jollygit xx
I do know that I should take my cozzie but don't need a passport .... it'll just be nice to get away from the housework!! I'll be doing the white glove test at the hotel though!!!!
Thanks so much for your support over the last few weeks - you've all been wonderful.
Catch you next week
jollygit xxxx
PS Moose - hope the move goes well x
Happy Birthday for Sunday Jollygit! You share it with my mate Dave-the-cardboard-box who will be 36.
Date was ok... we have 2 things in common, skiing and football... not sure if I'll see him again but I'm not going to say no if he asks. It def wasn't fireworks and heartstrings but maybe I'm expecting a bit much?
Luv
Lyndyloo
-x-x-x-
Lyndyloo - thanks lovey and happy birthday to Dave-the-cardboard box!
Sometimes a relationship that starts off as a slow burn can last longer than the turbo-charged ones which often end in a whimper - just like a firework! Enjoy it, anyway!
jollygit xx
Jollygit - happy birthday honey!!!
Lindyloo - sometimes just getting on with someone new is nice...
Blimey - just had a bit of a rant on CLP's blog and feel a bot wound up - sausage and tomato sandwich will help...
S xx.
Fabulous news darlings - only ONE filling hoorah, but it took AGES and have a bit of a sore jore today, so will have to sip my rum punch gently until I feel sufficiently comfortable...
How exciting, jollygits birthday, Moose's leaving do(ose), shiny teeth...What a day Friday could be shaping up to be!
Jollygit, please ensure all exposed areas are sufficiently covered in sun lotion...
...and lyndyloo, you gotta allow for the poor boy being nervous too...so we await further developments with bated breath...no no no no no no yes...
I do have a smidgeon of sad news, mainly for EG (Scotland)...I won't be around late at the Moose Do this evening because I have to go to the birthday party of a friend...organised at the last minute yesterday, but I'm sure there will be plenty of bods still about. The one with antlers, dribbling lo-cal (local geddit?... sorry) rum, will probably be either Moose, or Caroline in her hen-night costume. I expect, as it is such a salubrious venue (well am assuming it is, else lovely lyndyloo wouldn't live there...) they probably have 'people' to clean the beach, so you don't need to worry about cleaning up.
Keith, MfR, DWNB, SusanS, general missing list, hope to see you later...xxx
love

ps Is anyone getting a bit bored with House? Sorry, but I couldn't be bothered to watch the last 15 minutes...Roseanne's husband in a body suit by the way, in case anybody still hasn't realised...it was the voice and the eyes!
sammie, hope you are feeling better now! Can't wait til it posts...have some happy from me! Mind you, smiling is still a bit uncomfortable...
'Nil Bastardi Carborundum' as it says on my Cardigan of Arms.

Right - final plans in place for Big Night Out with the girls tomorrow (as opposed to Big Girls night out - my friends are WW veterans too...) What to wear, OH MY GOODNESS!!!
So, as I will be v. tired on Sunday - I have declined the invitation to waterski (well, watching from the boat anyway!), very pouty response!
Hazel - well done for the dentist today! I dislike them so much, it takes all my courage to even take the kids! Of course, they don't know, although they are asking why mum gets so cross about the dentist...
Try not to dribble on the keyboard too much....
K may be back earlier than next weekend, he will be here for about four weeks and will then go back to the US, for... who knows how long!!!
S xx.
Sammie - I think I may have rumbled your K - is he in the circus??? If he is I know him (how cryptic is that).
Anyhoo - that's my randown synapse connection of the day... Seriously How wierd would it be if it was the same person???
Dentists - love 'em (when you can find one) My old dentist used tooc harge me whatever he felt like - One wisdom tooth extraction 2 fillings and some x-rays with a scale and polish thrown in while waitin for the injections to work - guess how much
You'll never guess
£100 - bargain!
Is it too early for party games??? Have had this sent me - I'm supporting SWEDEN this May 12th - who should you pedge your support to??
http://www.yle.fi/eurovision/songomat.php
Is it the kind of party today where you can get slow comfy screws / screaming orgasms etc???
:o) Jo
Moose - good luck for today : )
Morning all - am suffering from a syndrome known as NGOTTTTMR......'Nearly Got On TV To Talk To Mr (W)Right'......
I was in the holding bay waiting to go on air....so exciting. The Wright Stuff...interesting topics, and one to which I wanted to contribute (should parents of children under 15 yrs age be prosecuted for giving them alcohol at home?). I passed the initial stage of screening (smokes and mirrors) and then the final stage - was ok'd by the Producer and was waiting for my cue. Sadly, Brian from Yorkshire spoke a little longer than he should which meant that I was kicked into touch. I was shaking like a leaf and my mouth went so dry, I wonder if I would have actually been able to speak!!!
I would like to hastily add that the above were not in any way 'stalker-esque' actions. Yes, I think he is lovely....but as I discovered with sauna man, some sort of chemistry is so important and you can't tell if you would have that just by looking at someone on the TV screen!!!!!...not that HE is considering ME, so I don't think I need to analyse this one!!!!
Gaby
xx
New post up....but Jo, I insist that my leaving party is one of those parties. Sex on the Beach for me please.
I just got read out on Ken Bruce! Hoorah!
Anyhoo, the business of today!
All aboard, biknik at the ready, drinking glove firmly attached, start pedalling...aaaaaaaand...Chocks away...
Moose, are you there already?
Good morning all,
This week has been a complete nightmare - I have had to work for a living! I was so busy yesterday, I didn't manage get back here at all. Alarming!!
Sammie - loved your rant next door. Can I say to you, your new "friend" sounds pretty active! Alton Towers, water ski-ing - what gives?! Hasn't he heard of sitting in a nice quiet bar with a glass of something soothing, having a wee chat?! I am just so lazy when it comes to doing anything requiring action!
Mary - so good to hear from you. I was only leaving it until today and then I would have been sending out a search party for you! Speaking of search parties, where on earth is SusanS?!
Hazel - re: House. Well, I would love to comment about last night's episode - having looked forward to it ALL day. However I have to confess that I went for a "quick" drink with my office colleagues after work - three larges glasses of wine (I think that's actually a bottle!) home at 8pm - a rubber woman! I had a burger (no bread) and salad which I devoured, and then fell asleep at 9pm on the dot! Missed the whole of House! Still, I take on board what you are saying, but as of last week I thought the storylines were shaping up nicely with Cameron becoming more like House every day. Yes, I know,I really need to get out more!
Jollygit - I know you are away now, but happy birthday and I hope your wee trip has been lovely.
Will pop in later guys, can't miss Moose's leaving do!
