Definately been under the knife, no way can you get rid of all that cellulite without surgery. Of course you can cellulite is caused by fat........... get rid of the fat the cellulite will go. You will find you wont be able to get rid of the excess fat, as for cellulite its a stubborn as ever, losing weight will not get rid of the cellulite, a friend here lost loads of weight and she has hanging fat, she is going have surgery.

So I wait a week for Airmiles to give me my E ticket, funny thing I had to use 155,000 points for a BHX- Dubai return, yet a flight out of Dubai would have been 108,000. Anyway I needed to book my grand daughter, EK wouldnt let us make the booking intially as she was travelling on her own, it was explained I was on the flight and she would be travelling with me, for some reason they couldnt tie the 2 ticket ref's together, and wanted us to pay full fare for a 7 year old!!!!!! Cant pay for her ticket on the phone as the card isnt in her name!!!!!!!( pulling hair out now)so I have had to ask my MIL who isnt well at the moment to run down to BHX to pay for the ticket. Why oh why cant they make it easier for us.

He best thing was when I got home I realised I had no sugar, Milk etc, had to pop across the road and was staggering, im sure the shop has a very strong smell of Vodka,hahaha, I was in my purse with one eye open, checking a double checking my notes. After returning fromt he shop I had to go back down as needed something else!!!!!grrr. I was them approached by DH, he wanted to know what all the carry on was. He didnt tell me off, he loves me having fun, he gave a big hud, told me I stink of booze and then trotted off back to bed, bless him, ha

Meee!! :( In my opinion all the expensive products don't work half aswell as the little pink tub from Boots. It's Boot's own curl cream, apply it to hair when it's still pretty wet, comb through with fingers then scrunch and leave. Better to do when hairs still wet so you don't get the wet-look or crispy bits! :) Im off home early Feb, will buy some, oh I do hope it works, I would love my curls to be soft and flowing. I do think the water causes my hair to be unmanageable.

Going back to when I was pregnant there wasnt any kind of stigma attached to smoking and being pregnant, I didnt smoke much back then to what I do now, It has to be hard and good luck in whatever you do. I wonder if patches would help or maybe seek advise from your doctor, they must have all kinds of non smoking aids to help you along.

A friend and I went shopping the other day, and made an unplanned decision to pop into a bar for a drink, the only problem was we stayed alot longer than planned, and headed home quite late on the evening, we had a great day, our better halves were not impressed, its not that we do this too often, but we did have a great day, sitting chatting. We both lead quite sheltered lives back home, and as our kids are older now, we just feel its so nice to have our freedom, ofcourse our Hubby's always come first, but surely its not wrong to have some girly times!!!!!!!!!!!

Its sad to see you cant take your animals home, If you have 6 months to get new homes then why cant you take them with you. Dubai is overloaded and I know FF are full to the brim and with a waiting list aswell. I know K9 are also struggling. Hope you find homes for your beloved pets.

I do think alot of us have put weight on here, and so hard to shift, maybe im not trying hard enough. Dont beat yourself up, beauty is skin deep, and yes I am over weight, ok Im not really comfortable in my own skin, hubby loves me just the way I am. I have lost weight before and its so hard to keep off. Life is far to short. I would give my hubby a good smack across the chops If he ever mentioned another female colleague being more funny, slimmer etc,

THe weekend is for all of us to do as we please, I really dont think anyone should have to give up their free time up to drive anyone around. The OP is paying a decent salary. Im sure the maid was fully aware that it could well be difficult to get around without a decent bus service, why should the OP have to give her special time to run the maid around. Just my opinion thou.

THe security in our building send a leaflet thru doors reminding us all not to throw cigarettes and ash. Im a smoker and would never dream of doing this to my neighbours. Many moon's ago I was driving and someone flicked the cigarette from another car and it landed right in my face, not pleasant I assure you.

I would of thought the walls will need to be skimmed first. Concrete sweats and expands, so you will probably find the wallpaper wont stick.

I was on the pill for 15 years, going back then it was the combined one, not to sure now they are available, I do believe they discontinued them and replace with the mini pill, I could be wrong. I never had any issues whilst taking the pill either. I do know a couple of friends that became pregnant whilst taking the pill, but still think its the safest option.
