    [​IMG] I've spent £75 already :doh:
    That covers just about everyone though. I have to buy something for Grandma and Grandad, plus Mary and one more thing for Alex. I *believe* that is it then...

    Grandma and Mary I'll be buying nice chocolates for. Grandad I may get a wine book, or possibly one with slightly rude humour. He's been smoking since he was seven and drinks a bottle of wine a day, usually cheap french wines, I don't think he can actually taste much though.

    Currently it is about 10c. Not that this isn't nice but it's supposed to be SUMMER here.

    Weee....we got our car totally detailed for free today! :D We took an overly-drunk chick home the other night, and on the way home, she puked in a bag...and even though she didn't really get any in the car, she still paid to have our car fully detailed. :)

    Speaking of the car, I get to pay anywhere from $500 to over $1000 for maintenance next week...we're not quite sure what's wrong with it, but it sounds expensive. :bang:

    I found out how much I weighed last night. So totally depressed. I've decided that from now on I'm going to live on Black Coffee and that's it. I have a year to lose about 5 stone!

    [​IMG] I still need to lose a stone and a half. Want to get back to around nine stone.

    Sal prefers me over ten, but I get trouble with my joints.

    I still liked how I was more when I was seven stone. :o

    [​IMG] and fourteen pounds to a stone :rolling:

    Was originally intended as measurement of the value per mass of a product. Along with cloves I believe. I think the name is generally derived from the fact the measurements were designed to be constant, stable. In some market towns there are sets of weights made from stone used for more specific transactions.

    I'm about 62 kg (9,75 stones). I feel insignificantly small now.

    A quick visit to McDonalds might be in order. :bigeyes:

    I fluctuate between 155 and 165 pounds (usually pretty stable around 160)... which is about 72 kg, or nearly 11.5 stone.

    57kg. Nothing will move me from there. I've gone through food binges, through eating half a meal a day - my weight simply refuses to change.

    Haha, another rare shiny for my collection. I should slow down on the expenses, though... considering I'm making a trip to that place which specializes in Cuban cigars tomorrow. With a little luck, they'll have what I'm looking for. Failing that, I'll get them to order it.

    [​IMG] Shiny!

    I also need to stop looking at chainmail and specialist clothing :(
    I can't afford it and I really, *really* want it.

    Plus the best site doesn't deliver to the UK. Bah!

    13 stone sounds much better then 82 kg...

    I would prefer to be a bit under 12 stone (74 kg) but getting there resembles the work of Sisyphus, in more ways then one. :p

    ION, gloomy weather is boosting my learning efforts. A shame this newly discovered motivation is focused on the subjects I don't need for my next exam term, though.
