Oh that's good
at least you don't look like a club footed spack for nothing!

I bought a blender and a recipe book for smoothies and spent a weekend making beautifully fruity concoctions.

Haven't touched it since.

i bought a blender and a tassimo coffee machine thing about a year ago
i have never used either.

it's like having a pasta-maker or an ice-cream maker... life's too short!

I gave my unused pasta maker to a friend a year ago.
They have never used it.

I want a pasta maker
I reckon I'd use it, once life is back to normal and I have to comute only 1h each way.

I was in John Lewis last week getting a new whisk (my life is so exciting!)
and I did look longingly at all the coffee makers, they just look so awesome and fancy, like if I bought one I'd become some kind of high flying business exec woman who has hazelnut cappucinos and exotic pastries for breakfast rather than Sainsbury's instant coffee and last night's leftover spaghetti. I don't even like real coffee.

Do you like coffee flavoured chocolates?

Not especially
I tend to leave them and the Turkish Delights until last. And if I have to share chocolates, I give them away!

My mates girlfriend made really cool cup cakes last night
I wanted to get a photo so you could see but they just got eaten. She made us individual cupcakes and made mine look like a drum. Cake are it is impressive.

There is, or was
a pretty decent cookshop selling that type of stuff in the new arndale market. Failing that, hobbycraft does all that sort of stuff now.
(berk, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:17, Reply)

yeah that's the one!
It's in the market surrounded by all the chavvy knock-off stores and the Chinese acrylic nail salons.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:18, Reply)

Heh, sounds about right
there are some interesting shops and cafe type places in there but most of it is the same old tat as the old market, just in shiny new surroundings. Shame. It's also a shame that there isn't a Lakeland or Hobbycraft in Manchester, you'd think with the trafford centre and everything there would be...

I know, I so badly want a Hobbycraft
but the nearest is sodding Warrington.

I have a tiny, mini food processor
Which I use to make smoothies. I have a habit of buying all the fruit, yoghurt etc, having a week of smoothie heaven, then I keep forgetting to stock up during a Tesco shop for a month or so.

Yeah I do that
I'll have a weekend of drinking beautiful smoothies and I'll decide that it's my new way of life and I'm going to be a religiously healthy smoothie-making queen, until I run out of fruit and have to go back to drinking orange squash again.

Like my healthy eating episodes
They last about a week, then I run out of healthy food and am too lazy to to go to Tesco and deal with PEOPLE, so I order a pizza in, because I've been good and healthy and deserve a treat.

Wiggy won't eat healthy food. He tries to tell me that deep fat frying isn't that bad.
I've been trying to train my body to do the splits for over a year now and I'll do the stretchy exercises for a week religiously, then I'll forget. Same with situps, I'll be all "I'm going to get up early and do 50 situps before work", I'll manage it maybe twice.

My stomach is well aching today after doing the plank in pole class yesterday
and one of my students held it for ages so I had to hold it longer because it doesn't look very good if the teacher collapses after thirty seconds, wheezing and crying.

makes me do it on the power plate for added pain. ouch.

I never dared try the power plate when I used to go to the gym
I didn't know how to work it and I didn't want everyone staring. The few times I have seen people on it, they get into the strangest positions!
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 5 Oct 2010, 10:43, Reply)

they're great
but only if you mix them with all the other stuff. you do see some muppets just sitting on them, expecting miracles. just switch them on and stand on your tiptoes, that's your calves done. but don't expect to be able to walk for the next 24 hours!

my colleague goes to a keep-fit class on powerplates, she says it's murder. and she does that 6am army training on clapham common, so she's pretty fit!

I could never do that bootcamp style fitness
I hate being shouted at and it doesn't motivate me.

I only like fun exercise like trampolining and dancing. I find Pilates and Yoga really good for relaxing rather than working out.

the stupid thing is it only takes about 5 minutes every couple of days and I still don't manage to find the time.
