Hi. Just wondering if there is any news. it all seems to be quiet right now, but how many would like to be in Arillas? Winter in UK doesn`t seem too appealing,dark and cold etc. That`s why we`re of to Spain for Christmas. Bit of warmth. Various spots in Arillas sound good though, right now. Although I have to say, certain ones not too good. Also, watching the sun up/down, can set you up for the day ahead. Oh Happy Days everyone, do enjoy.
No news really here in Surrey! Sun out but not as nice as it would be in Arillas. Back on my diet! Lost 3.5 lbs this week - on Green and Red days and got Mike on it too. Very easy to manage so hopefull will be able to fit into a new cozzy for next year and also the plane seats... ha ha ha !
Longing to be back in Arillas next year! Not long to go!
Well done blonde, get the bikini ready. Mine`s already ironed and packed!?! That eating plan is very good isn`t it? Keep up the good work. Lindypops.
Well done blonde girl! No news really here in Manchester LIndypops! Really stormy tonight and darkand depressing Not made plans for arillas 2007 but will do soon if only to lift my spirits!
Went to a P.T.A. Snowflake Ball last night and squeezed myself into a posh frock with the aid of M&S underwear!!!!
Have been reading Gillian McKeith today.........think that it will be lettuce soup from now till Christmas!!!!!!!
love Gaye
Good old M & S! What would we do without them.
If I get stuck Lindypops please can I ask you some questions about the diet plan if you know about it! Its going ok so far. I am not attending any groups as I did it years ago and hopefully can remember the plan along with WW and Rosemary Conlay. They all work but I suppose you are not meant to do them all at the same time.
I need a new cozzy (or two or three) for next year as the new one I bought for Arillas this year went yellow and disintegrated in the pool by the end of 2 weeks. Everyone who had a light coloured one went yellow in the pool at the Galini, so be warned if anyone's going there!
Anyway, where is everyone? Its like the Marie Celeste on here!!!

Well at least here's me Blondegirl! :-) I've been popping in making sure you are all sticking to your bikini diets, 'cos I'm not doing so well at all! I'm off to Palma in 2 weeks with my daughter and grandson so hopefully I will walk the lbs off...see how good I am at putting it off for another day!
I've been really busy lately, Christmas shopping, decorating, re-vamping my website (YUK although thats defo not my scene, it's my brother who does all the clever stuff).
We are looking forward to spending the New Year in Corfu. We always bring the New Year in with our family so it might be a bit strange for us, I hope I don't go all sentimental!
Eileenx
I have been really bad !!!!!!
All is ok Mon - Fri then I hit the weekend and undo all the good work I have done.( red wine is the culprit)
Downloaded some photographs from the wedding we were at last weeknd and oh my what a shock. So here it is Monday morning and I am back to being very good.
I am doing it myself as well blondegirl as I have paid so much moneyinto diet clubs in the past. I have been doing WW but may change to SW just to add a bit of variety and see if it makes any difference.
Eileen I hope you enjoy Palma. Did you get fixed up with a hotel in the centre? We are off there again for my birthday in January. So really looking forward to that after all the Christmas hustle.
Pauline x
Glad that everyone is still alive and kicking, great to hear from everyone!
We shall have to call ourselves the ASC = Arillas Slimming Club! It's free too!
Got another Red day today, now what wonderful thing can I come up with for dinner tonight?
We are in the Uk over Xmas. Going to go away for a couple of days in Bournemouth but then back with the family the rest of the time. Looking forward to some peace and quiet!
I am busy arranging a Tea Dance for this Saturday for about 40 people, mainly for the over 50's so it should be great fun getting together with some 'old' friends for a dance and sing song. Diet will be out of the window that day. Busy times!
Hi All, Just to let you know that I'm still looking at the web, Plaster of hand now and doing well.
Ankle keeps swelling and the hip is going to take about 6 months.
Missing the jive nights on Wednesday, didn't think they made a lot of difference to
the weight, but after 4 weeks I know they do.
Going to start again next week, after my physio. Not much to tell you all,
except that you cheer me up every day. Love Viv
Vivian,
Good to see you are getting on ok and plaster off, hope you had a laugh at me being eager and getting it wrong never mind by the time it is smiiffies birthday I may have sussed out a bit more to put on her birthday message it is unusual for me cos I normally end up sending belated cards cos I always forget. Hope your hip gets on ok painful that I get a bit of gyp from mine now and again I feel such a fool as I get up and it gives way with no notice and I nearly fall over some people think its the drink but I am a mineral water girl!!
I have News!!! Might as well share it here.
Our villa has just has its pool dug and all the ametials are now on site for the walls and roof.
Pool is due to be cast son and the Team should be started on filling in the frame today as long as the good weather holds.
Roll on May!
Regards
Wow, sounds lovely. cant wait to see the website when finished let alone the villa. Viv
Hi Lynette, you always make me giggle ;-)
Hiya gaye. Wet n windy here today too. Miserable dark nights etc. I like the m&s undies too, especially the gripper knickers. Only trouble is, I had 2 pairs, and now can only find 1 pair!! Bfn. Lindypops.
Course you can ask blobegirl. If I can help I will. Tried SW some years ago, and the plan was ok. Lindypops.
Viv. Glad you`re doing well, don`t be rushing into things too early! Lindypops
After snowflake ball and M & S knicker gripper nightmare on Saturday seriously thinking of losing weight ESPECIALLY after seeing the pics!
Any advice on how to lose a stone before Christmas? SM v WW?
Glad you are on the mend Viv, I didnt realise it was as bad as it was with hip problems too. I would have gone stir crazy if I couldnt go to my jive class. I pulled a muscle for a week, got a painful bursa on my elbow (too many logins on this site I think) the next and it was driving me mad. You poor thing being out of action for so long, so pleased its on the mend now.
Dont know whether to take offence at being called blobegirl Lindypops! I had to read it twice then realised it was a typo (at least I hope it was), it made me laugh anyway.
How exciting to have a pool being made! It must be like being pregnant ~ building a new place and pool. Great excitement when its all finished and the memories of all the problems are behind you when you can enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
If I was to lose a stone before Xmas my husband would say "chop your head off". Cheeek!

...except we hope that the waters don't break at the end of his 'term'!
Sorry Frank that was just to good to miss! :-) Good luck.
Eileenx
OO Eileen, you spoilt that one , I was going to as if it was going to be a water birth? aint we daft ;-) viv
What have I missed here then?
"Corfusoon" - Is this a private villa for your retirement or are you renting. - Where is the location?
--- And possible website. - Have I been asleep for a while?
Cheers
Negg
Negg,
Don't you go worrying about the new villa yet, whatare your thoughts about M & S Gripper Knickers for making us girls who wanna lose a bit of weight but and are struggling the opinion so far is they are good got any dood ideas?. I tried looking at the website but it is still under construction for that villa!! any way hope you are ok not been online for a little while
Lynette
You cant beat M & S knickers that iron out the lumps and bumps!!!
Well it looks like im going to be putting on more weight before Christmas, as I got told yesturday no dancing or stenuais exicese tell the new year.
What I want to know is how come I can go to work and yet im not allowed to do anything else, mind you my boss has been very good and im just doing
bits and bobs. Have been put on Tramadol and I have heard it depresses the appitate, so there might be some hope, after all. ;-) Viv
Harold I will e-mail you and Sally tonight,
Wearing M & S grippers under a bikini is definately not a good look!
Oh i dont know, you could start a new trend blondegirl!!
Some of the sights I've seen on beaches and they don't care!! My motto (since I turned 40) is "If you don't like it, don't look!!!'. I hope you feel better soon Viv, sounds very unpleasant for you.
I really like that. Must remember it! I have never been a trendsetter and dont think I will start that one off!
Take care Viv hope you will be up to all sorts soon.
My dance mate Lynda and I have a motto: "Life's too short to dance with ugly men", sometimes you have no choice eh! tee hee!
Ha ha that made me smile!!!
A female friend of mine put a pair of Gripper Knickers on every evening for 7 days.
All that happened was , at the end of the week, she couldn't do her skirt up.
Telli
Ha ha ! very funny! like the man who put a clean pair of socks on every day and couldnt get his shoes on! The oldens are the best!
Cheryl
I agree with you, there are some rare sights on the beach but I'm with you, if you don't like it don't look as long as you are happy nothing else matters, now as for you Vivian we have to think of a fitness regime you can do sitting still. That might take some time but any offers of help out there will be greatly appreciated
I'm gonna have a look at them there gripper knickers this weekend we got a really posh works do this year and got a nice dress but it wont hold everything in so too late to diet so need help!
Blondegirl if you and Mike carry on losing weight every week you will be able to share a seat on the plane and save money lol.
Smiffy you can tell I'm really busy at work now don't get time at mo during the day to look on site so have to wait till late!!
Thats not good is it, being busy at work! At least you make it on here, whatever time it is!
Well Lynette. Mike has lost a stone in total.... well thats what he is telling me when he weighs himself anyway! I lost 4 oz yesterday. Unfortunately, my scales are very precise... I dont know whether that is a good thing or not. I am not sure about sharing seats though. He is an awful fidget when we fly. I always let him have the window seat as he stretches all the time across me to look out, he likes the dog from "Churchill" and is very irritating, so if he sits by the window then I can read in peace. I was getting a bit worried about his weight as I thought the next flight we have he will have to ask for the extension belt and he would be mortified so I am glad he is losing it. The problem is he is getting a bit vain which is hilarious!
I wonder if they do gripper knickers in a "Corfu Tan colour" - now thats an idea! (probably not a good one thinking about it).
They are gonna be running out of them there gripper knickers in M&S - they won't be able to cope with the demand!
Blondegirl, keep it up when I feel brave enough I may put my pictures on the site. two years ago I lost 3 stone in five months, it was because my favourite nephew was getting married and I did'nt want to spoil his wedding pictures by have a 'great aunty' in them, I did feel good after but some of it has crept back on and I now going to concentrate to get it off again.
Got an idea instead of gripper knickers i am going to invent an all over body in flesh colour with bikini painted on! think we may all look good then he he.
Gotta go loads to do its the silly season here when everyone wants there flooring put down before christmas so they can impress the visitors we can never understand that I would rather wait till they had all gone and not let them spill all their food on drink on the new one!
I loved that, body suit with bikini painted on. Brilliant! As long as its not an inflatable one. Now who's being silly!
M & S in Corfu Town might sell them. Do you think we should tell them they are all the rage back here in the UK and they need them in Corfu? We could have them in different shades of Tan. No need for fake tan (skin allergies and streaks), no sun beds (cancerous) think of the designs too. Pull a valve and you have an airbed in the pool all at once. Brilliant! Well I am on a roll (pardon the pun) now.
I know how you feel about wedding photos. I left it too late for my sons wedding, I started dieting AFTER the event and was disappointed I didnt do it sooner. I did lose 4 stone then with WW. My weight is creeping up behind me, in front of me, at the sides all the usual places! Well done with losing your weight!
We all go mad I think and do everything this time of year, visitors coming etc. Causes so much extra work and expense though.
Lynette
Thank you for your thoughts. I can't comment on the underwear of the grip type as it makes me cringe just thinking about it. I can't even say the correct words. Aaaagghh.
All you ladies continue to make me smile. - When you get your teeth into a subject................well!!!!
Negg
Tis the season to be jolly! Grab ya grippas, don`t worry about impressing anybody, enjoy yourselves, and go abroad for Christmas! It`s sooooooooooooooo much less stressful all round. Hand luggage is good, bin ya clothes, bring back ya goodies! Lindypops.
