Blimey, think of all those carbs!!

Hi Caro@carieoates thank you x
Since starting SW ive only bean having two slices of bread from a small wholemeal loaf per day,v little potatoes,v little rice, but quite a lot of pasta. V pleased with 11 1/2 lbs lost in 5 weeks!
Two more sleeps for you before the big meet up! That is sure gonna be some fun,make sure please you post pictures so me and Bean can share vicariously! X

Watch out @nursebean - @Carieoates and I have talked about finding our way to Crondall to see you!

You should have gone to my holiday cottage in Norfolk - we have wifi and all mod cons (including a hot tub soon!)

Glad to have you back!

Hello @Matcatlady how you doing? I didn't realise you had a holiday cottage in Norfolk. How wonderful...and with a hot tub too?! That's something I'd love to do is run a holiday home. I'd make it so special. Yes, that would be my ideal plan I think...but first we've got to find a new home and we are seriously looking into living on the Isle of Wight. Have you ever bean there? It is just magnificent, with beautiful, beautiful sea views. The sea is see-through in places, and a wonderful shade of blue, then in the evenings, or on misty days it takes on a silvery, metallic glow...heavenly!!

Well I'm pretty pleased with myself today. On weighing I have discovered that I am 1 pound less than last week (and that after a 2-week holiday!) At last, I've had a holiday where I didn't put on ANY weight...hoorah!!

Ahem, anyway, what's happening dudes? Any news?

Bean xxxx

Thats fab @nursebean Beanibobs re yr holibobz weight loss x
We will all come to your guest house when its up and running..the Full of Beans B & B ! X

That's a great name Candy!!! Hope you're enjoying your break. Sounds lovely...and I think its going to be mega hot today. Better keep in the shade!!
Can't wait to hear about the BIG GATHERING! Hope you all have a great time. Candy and Bean will be with you all in spirit! xx

Excellent news on the holiday maintenance @nursebean - did do lots of walking?
If you want a nosey at our Norfolk pad go on holidaycottages.co.uk and search "Fern House" on properties.
It has been a steep learning curve but I think we're getting there and really looking forward to sitting under the stars with a glass of bubbly!
Not sure if I was taken to IOW as a child but was lucky enough to get an audit there a couple of years ago so had a nice few days there - wished I could have stayed longer and not been working!
We had a fab day yesterday - you must join us next time health permitting!

Just wanted to show you, just a bit of fun, but if it's chosen for billboard it will be shown in London somewhere.
It's a campaign by Marks and Spencer. And I took the pic after a very hot but impressive run of 5.4 km in that heat we had a few weeks back. I was a good girl and remembered my cap.
Hope you're both ok.
I got free tickets to X factor next week at Wembley arena . Woooooop.

Oh wow! That's a fantastic photo. If it gets chosen I'll have to make a special trip to London just so I can see your face on the back of a bus!! Seriously wouldn't it be great to have your piccie on a billboard somewhere? Well done xx
I'm feeling a bit flat now because my sister and two little toads are now safely settled back in Canada I sure do miss them
@Madcatladybyour house sure does look gorgeous! If only it was on the Island :0
Hope Candy is ok today. Any sign?
Lovely evening here in Crondall xx

Have you bean to North Norfolk @nursebean? It's really rather lovely and no ferry required!

Hey Caro @carieoates,@nursebean said you look like the back of a bus! The cheek!
