    Obviously I'm glad the weight's going the right way, but I had told myself I'd buy new clothes when I reach my target, I just hadn't thought about clothes for the inbetween stage :P

    Run faster then ;);)

    Our washing machine won't be serviced until tomorrow, now there's an ever growing backlog of laundry to do.

    Might just ask the OH to wash them for me. Her efforts tend to have that effect alright (yet another TA):pac:

    I know what you mean about the in-between stage. It's a great feeling though when the hard work starts to pay off and when it shows. Be proud!

    For the last two days I can't stop singing Spandau Ballet's Gold in my head. Occasionally I burst out with it to withering looks. It's not that I don't like the song, but I think I'm starting to go slowly insane ....

    I'm the same, except the song is Anastacia - Im outta love. I haven't heard it for years, and I hate it, so I don't know why it's stuck in my head.
    Horrible screechey voice.

    Irish made products that get given Irish names - but not proper names.

    Like a normal product in English, like toothpaste, gets a name like colgate or mint-fresh, but an Irish product gets given a name like fiacla, literally meaning teeth, or theres Irish made dog food called madra, literally meaning dog.

    who the fvck would buy a product named teeth or dog.
    1 tube of teeth and a can of dog please.

    why not sell a toilet paper named arseh0l3.

    'Home made' and 'Hand cooked' products that marketing would have us believe were lovingly made by a granny in a thatched cottage instead of being made by a Polish girl in a hairnet in an industrial estate in Inchicore.

    agree 100%!

    What also bugs me is the Company Shomra - meaning (when spelled correctly - room) but they misspell it and then have to spell out the name of their website on radio adverts - aaaggghh!

    Carved is when you use a knife, sliced is when a machine does it :)

    People (usually women) holding up the check out counter with multiple credit/debit cards, fecking loyalty cards, tokens/collecting cards for kitchen knifes, luggage or whatever sh*te the supermarket is doing.

    Not so much the debit cards, but the scratching around in the purse to get rid off all the shrapnel. Very - VERY annoying...

    The latest in food related TA:

    emptying takeaway tikka masala onto my plate from the plastic container, theres so much that it overflows and gushes off the plate and onto my duvet, stained until the next wash. My duvet was already full of pink cough medicine stains, ketchup and BBQ sauce stains etc. Oh the perks of eating in bed :-)

    I hate any kind of messy spillages, especially those fizzy drinks that go sticky once spilled.

    Oh and the fact burger king don't promote their menu with actual leaflet menus like the pizza and Chinese places. The website doesn't cover the whole lot and so you're left to decide what you want on the spot and ogle the menus above the heads of the employees waiting to serve me. Theres so much choice of burgers and various meals it's overwhelming. Be nice to have a look and pick something before I head out if im going there , but it's a tiny drawback.

    My weird fecking body. A few months ago I had some tests that showed I was perimenopausal so I started HRT. Then I started getting all weepy and having mood swings so my GP told me to stop HRT for 3 weeks and have the tests done again. Fine, got the results today and my hormone levels are perfect, so not menopausal.:confused: Great news, but I'm confused.

    People who complain about selfies. **** it. If people think they look good and want everyone to know it, let them. Better that than be convinced they're hideous monsters.
