@Ria Oh thanks =] ii feel welcomed.

@ Ria - the weather looks set to be still cloudy and rainy, and 18 degrees at most for the next 10 days - at least in the south-east.

Where did all the sunshine and 25+ degrees go?

It better be nice by my birthday D< (28th June)

Seeing Bill Bailey on Saturday. SO excited.

[email protected] It's nice to have you around here! ^_^
It's a little bit lonely with just myself and Pearl.

[email protected] Yeah, the forecast looks good for Sunday which is fantastic because it's my day out! I'm so excited for Sunday. >_<
I'm so jealous of you going to see Bill Bailey. D:
He's one of the comedians I'd love to see.
Hope it is nice for your birthday! Rainy birthdays are horrible.

It's my second time too, heheh.
I'm watching The Weekenders on YouTube, did you ever see that cartoon?

Yeah Purple, you don't reject/ignore us like everyone else >.>

Luuccckkkyyyy! D:
I've not seen any comedians live yet. Two of my friends went to see him, and for some reason they didn't invite me. ;_;
I felt very hurt, although it might be that they didn't know I liked him. XD

Can't say I ever have seen it. o_o'' I'll have to check it out to see if I do recognise it. Most cartoons I watched, I can't remember the name of now.

I have seen quite a few... Dylan Moran was first, then Russell Howard and Lee Mack at the local theatre, then Bill Bailey, then Tim Minchin. I have really bad Dara O'Briain tickets for September as well. x]

I can't wait until the weekend. SUN!

Wow lucky you! The only type of shows I go to are concerts. I've seen a fair few of those. :3

I'm excited for this weekend. Sunshine, rollercoasters and friends!
Plus I've made plans with two other friends to go to Liverpool one afternoon for Pizza and a general shopping spree.
It does kinda suck when I get the train to Liverpool because the two people I'm going with are on a completely different line from me. So they get to be together while I'm on the lonely, but luckily shorter line. XD

I think it's time for some more sims...I was up pretty early to go see my dad's girlfriends middle daughter. We had breakfast at her appartment. Cheese and Onion bread...nom nom! <3

I have an appalling lack of interest when it comes to music, comedians are much more my thing.

Sounds brilliant, although the queues will probably be a bit of a bore. Fast track, I assume?
I've never been to Liverpool, but I think you can do much of the same things in London that you can do there. x]

Lol, I only just woke up. I wasn't bothered about getting up in a timely way because I knew it would be a grey day, and I have no plans. Although, I saw a friend yesterday who's just finished school and we've made plans to go early-morning jogging o__o

I think it would be fun to have 3 extra siblings suddenly appear, but at the same time, I'm glad my parents' marriage is still ok.

I love both. I love the atmosphere at concerts, it's just so...(sorry for the cliche) magical!

Naw, it's a Sunday and the kids are still at school so we're hoping the queue's won't be too big. Plus the World Cup has started...

Liverpool is amazing, London probably has a wider range of shops, but it's a nice city. Easy to find your way around and people are friendly...even if 70% of the people there are scousers. XD

Eeep! I hate jogging...especially early morning...for me, getting up early is 9am. Getting up before 9am is ungodly.

Wish I could say it was divorce that landed me with three other girls, but it's not.

Ah, the World Cup. I've seen bits of the first two matches because my dad or brother will probably watch every game.

Before 10am is classed as early by me xD

I'm sorry for your loss.

I just watched the first two games because my dad wanted to see them. XD
I'll probably end up interested for a weekend and then get fed up with it. Oh well, I'm already fed up of those England flags on cars and flapping out of windows. x_x

I used to think 10am was early, but recently I've been getting up around 10ish every day since my trip to London, so my sleeping pattern got ruined.

I'll start off uninterested I think - it's only the group stage. I'll probably see the later England matches.

Can't wait for BB tomorrow.

Just saw Frankie Boyle on Wossy, he says he's quitting stand up - that's very surprising. He says he won't do anymore, but I think one of the main reasons is his young children. Who knows, maybe in 5-10 years he'll be back.
He'll still write etc.

Hehe my dad's decided that the USA are going to beat us 2-1 today. XD
He has no faith in England.

Aww, a lot of people seem to stop doing things because of their children. But I suppose that's a good thing. If you're always running around doing things you can't stop to spend some time with your children.

Wheee it's so sunny today! I should probably go and sit outside but the bench and table seem to be infested with various flying insects...

1-1, could be worse I guess.

Bill Bailey mentioned that we were 1-0 up at the start of the gig (8pm) and then after the interval revealed it was 1-1.

He was very, very good, as always. Lots of fun.
I'm going to catch up with Doctor Who now. :3

Indeed. It was fairly good. I think we all got our hopes up after that quick goal to start.

Doctor Who was awesome. The next episode looks amazing, I can't wait to watch it!

Glad you enjoyed Bill Bailey! Hope at least one of his shows ends up on the television or on DVD so I can watch it. :3
I've seen the others too many times. XD

Doctor Who was ok, but I did like that he was awesome at football - I'm sure others would have thought it ridiculous.

I'm finally tidying my room xD
I'm like 80% done... that's good enough. I'll have lunch.

I think I'm going to start running in order to look a little more toned for our holiday in America in the second half of August, and then my friends' holiday in Turkey in mid-September.

I'm having implant surgery on the 21st for which they'll remove some teeth (baby ones), and it'll take several months for them to place fake ones in their place. I'll have retainers with fake teeth on them to fill the gaps, but if I'm feeling self-conscious about my teeth, I can at least feel happy with my body.

I thought that was pretty awesome too! Who would have guessed. XD

I just had a little sort out so I could put my TV up in my room to watch movies on. I'm exhausted after today and I just want to laze in bed with my laptop and movies.

I might either go swimming, or get myself a wii fit, if I get a wii fit, I can still keep in shape while I'm at Uni. I need to be in better shape for my holiday to Cyprus, although as it stands at the moment I'm the thinest of the people going and the smallest. ;_;

Ah yeah. Not a big fan of my teeth either. They're not 100% perfect, but it's not bad. And I'm fairly happy with my body. I just need to get rid of the excess flab that didn't get lost as I lost weight. D:
It's so easy to gain weight, yet it takes so much more effort to lose it. XD

Alton Towers was so fun today! Well, up until the skies opened and it bucketed it down with rain. Best rides of the day were Air and Nemesis. We decided to go back in September and pick a sunny day so we can do the other big rides with the two people that coulnd't come this time. :3

Hello everyone.

@ Ria - I'd like my own TV... well, only slightly. I'm happy with just a laptop. What I do want, however, is the iPhone 4.
I have the 3G (not the 3Gs) and it would be an awesome upgrade.
But I think my O2 contract lasts until Christmas. I'd like to do pay as you go with my next phone.

I feel bad, because I snacked horribly this weekend. I did use the treadmill though, 4 miles in 28 minutes, -250 calories.
I figure if I exercise lots, I don't have to go on an extreme diet - just make sure I don't eat more than 1500 calories.

I'm a stone and a half lighter than last summer, and that was entirely diet-based. Little to no exercise, and I'm still flabby, like you say. Smaller. But still flabby.

I'm going to get whitening toothpaste. Not sure if it'll make a difference, but it couldn't hurt to try.

Aw, I want to go to a theme park. Sounds great.

Hello Imagination.

I really need to remember to come here, hello again!

Hello Imagination! ^_^

[email protected] I like the new Iphone. It looks pretty. I have an Itouch, but my phone is a Samsung Genio Slide. I looove the qwerty keyboard on it. So I'll probably leave getting a new phone till this one gets old and broken.
I love being on pay as you go. I'm on Orange so I get nice extras. I get 200 free texts and free internet access to Facebook and sites like that when I top up £10!

I've never been one to count calories. I just eat when I'm hungry. XD
It's working so far...I think...
I do need more exercise though. I'm so lazy. >_>''
I lost half a stone, which is quite a lot for someone my height, and it's really noticeable.

Hmm...can't say I've tried any proper whitening toothpastes. I don't like seeing people with those pearly white teeth, it just looks so fake. D:

It was fun! Can't wait to go back now. Hopefully it'll be sunnier and we'll have two extra people with us!

Hello again zeapear!

Hiya zeapear!

@ Ria - I love the qwerty keyboard on my iPhone, I find it really quick to use.
Yeah, I'd have to think about the internet thing. It is nice to have it free in a contract... but I'll see what the charges are like on pay as you go.

I'm not sure how noticeable it is on me, I took 'before' photos, but had to delete them all because they were on my camera, and I was on holiday, and my siblings kept asking to see the photos I'd taken of us. So I just deleted them all...

Doesn't it feel good though? I'm still somewhat amazed when I think that I'm under 9 stone. I was 9st 13 when I started, and I'd been used to seeing that on the scales for years. At my worst, I was 10st 4 - that was when I snacked ALL the time. I lost a bit of weight with no effort, but I had to put in the effort to lose the rest of my teenage weight.
8st 6 now! (5ft 4)

Lol, I highly doubt I'd go pearly white. Just... more regular.

It's sunny today, it's great. I'm planning a run on the treadmill... I usually do just 25-30 minutes, but several sources online say that you need to do at least 30 minutes before you start getting the benefits. Dx
I'll aim for 35-40, or perhaps add in some skipping as well. Skipping is tough, man. xD

I'm also doing daily "8 minute abs" for the muscle exercise.

I'm about 5'4, not completely sure, but I've got to keep in mind that I've lost weight because I've been walking up hills, which has created muscle mass on my legs. So what I might have lost if I just dieted has been filled in with muscle. XD
I was 10 stone, and I'd nearly reached 10 and a half at one point which was my worst. I'm now 9 and a half and I feel great!
I don't get exhausted while walking around now and I can happily wear skinny jeans and not feel depressed.
I've still got some pictures of me when I weighed 10 stone and I hate looking at them. My face is so fat and child like and it's just not nice. D:

I loove the sun today, and my dad suggested I go for a bike ride, but I don't need to exercise my legs! Plus I'd rather not get a sore butt from my bike seat. XD
Wish we had some exercise stuff at home apart from the bikes and this bar thing you have to bend but it's too strong for me to bend. I should probably go to the gym with my dad's girlfriend, but I lack in exercise wear. Can't say I'd look that good in lyrca pants lol. >_>''
I'll have a look for some daily all over work outs I can do without going to the gym, or try out the wonder that is the Wii Fit. XD

I've never really took note of the internet charges on my phone. XD I don't think it's that bad, but if I had an Iphone I'd probably be on the internet all the time with 3G because it's like a real browser in a way. I can get on sites like this on my Itouch, but I can't on my phone, and it's damn slow.

Oh god you guys can type. o_o

@ Sethwalker - well, it's just the two of us filling the space, so I think it's ok. xD

@ Ria - I don't really have many 'before' pics because I hate being photographed xD Anyway, my face hasn't changed. (Apart from the jaw surgery to fix my underbite which is a huge improvement but not weight related)

My mum and dad wear lycra shorts/trousers for exercise... I was like no thanks. >.> I got my own running things.
I went for a run in the park today with a friend, but I was pathetic. I forgot to have a drink before or bring water which was kind of stupid, but considering I managed a 40 minute jog yesterday I was very lame. We mostly walked.
We have a Wii, but not Wii fit... I mean, since we have a treadmill I might as well use that instead. And so far, I prefer it to al fresco forward motion.

If you want to flatten thine tummy, this eight minute work out is great. It's better than crunches because it's varied and you work every part of your middle. I've only done it 2 days, but I'm *hoping* I'll see a difference in a few weeks. (combined with cardio 4 times a week)

A great cardio option is skipping. Unbelievably knackering. xD
I remember when I was an 8 year old stick, full of energy - I would get to 80 or 100 skips without stopping. Nowadays after 20 I'm like
*PANT* *PANT* Too.... much.... frolicking!! *PANT*

On my iPhone I use it to look up train times, weather, restaurants, etc. Or if I need to know the name of a random actor who was in that thing. Y'know, the kind of information that would otherwise bug you all day.
I also show people YouTube clips. "Have you ever seen that treadmills thing...?"
