A - BOOM B00M BOOM B00M !

Chris Evans | 15:12 UK time, Thursday, 26 July 2007

Is love a good thing when...

... here's what happened the other day.

My intended has assured me since i met her that I do not have a belly.

But yesterday, both of us having been on the wedding diet for a couple of weeks now, she pipes up...

"Your belly's nearly completely gone."

"Hang on a minute," I said, "wait right there, you said I never had a belly."

"Well of course you had a belly but i didn't mind it though."

"Yes but you said I didn't have one at all."

"Well, I was lying."

"Why?"

"Because i love you."

"Oh, so how do I know that you're not lying now ?"

"Because if you look in the mirror, you'll see that your belly has nearly gone. You knew you had a belly before, you just wanted to know if i minded. Well I didn't but you do look better now."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !""

Yes of course she did the right thing in both instances but now I'm gonna have to keep the tumm tumm trimm trimm !

Ever since the wedding diet started, ironically I've been treating myself at certain times in the day.... just had a bag of choccie minstrels - loverly.

No bread, no chips, no beer and the power plate every day but choccie every afternoon, I don't know how but it does seem to be working.

    When you're feeling euphoric there's something that happens to your body and it's fuelled by the spirit.

    I bet your eyes are shining and your skin is glowing too; and the fact is that you're chock full of positive energy and bonhomie.

    That's the best diet. If that could be bottled and sold to all of us, we'd none of us be looking in mirrors and complaining. We'd all be thanking God or the universe or whatever the bejeaysus that we're alive and living in a time that offers us as many opportunities as it does.

    Me, I say a prayer of thanks every day for what I have, namely good health, striking good looks, (har har well to a blind man on a gallopin' horse anyway) and a Genius daughter who lights up my life when me batteries get low.

    Fair play to you, my friend.

    Chris,

    Isn't love just most wonderful thing? I am stones heavier since my wedding day in 1928 (or thereby) but my husband is very understanding. And he loves me more now than ever. But, let's be honest, he would love me to be slim. It's just a fact.

    You are sounding so happy and it just makes me happy too! Incidentally, I LOVE the term "my intended"!!!

    The future is so bright, you better start wearing shades!

    I've lost a stone on just eating properly and drinking water as much as you should plus riding horses for one hour at the weekend and the gardening.

    Keep it up CLP

    All the very best to everyone in flooded areas - if you can listen to the radio then R2 is the best place to leave the radio on and turn the volume up - cheers me up no end.

    I was creased up trying to navigate a roundabout and junction the other morning whilst Jonny Walker was playing the little girl on the phone to the demolition company in Ireland - CLP if you didn't hear it - play it - there are several sites on the net with it on.

    Office news - one of our guys made a noise in the office that sounded rather like the soup dragon so he has been renamed.

    Oh, dear, CLP, this could be the start of the slippery slope...the Badger has a belly of which he is totally one hundred percent unhappy with. It does not seem to diminish with exercise or with diet. He is in the process, however, of trying to register with a doctor so that he can get checked out for any allergies. We have tried cutting out some things but we don't really know what we are doing, and his job is very physical, so he gets plenty of exercise too.

    What I am coming to is this. I loves me Badger. So I have no problem with how he looks. He doesn't understand this, but I have no problem with his belly. At all. But I would only say to him that his belly had nearly gone if he had pointed it out first, else it'd make me out to be a liar, which I'm not, and he had pretty much the same belly when I met him.

    All of us are different
    None of us the same
    If you've got a little belly
    You can play the bouncing game

    If you wibble it a little
    Then you wobble it some more
    You can bounce it on the table
    Or bounce it on the floor

    It's fun to have a belly
    It holds your trousers up
    And if you have no saucer
    You can even rest your cup

    We like our men with bellies
    Then we can play the bouncing game
    It's good to have a belly
    And we love you all the same

    love

    Moral don't marry for looks alone. otherwise you will end up with an ugly mush with no sense of humour.

    Hear hear Tinsel, Christoffe is GAWJUS as you put it.

    Not sure about his orifices however and since I'm doin' calamari for me tea I don't think I want to go there.

    Down the years I have taken soooo much stick for having a positive fetish-like adoration for the Ginger one. With or without his mythical belly, he embodies my dream chap. Daft as a brush yet he has fantastic wit, strength, spirit and courage.

    However. My number one dream chap without any shadow of a doubt was that fantastic bloody madman, Steve Irwin. Joking apart, I'm serious. What a man. I absolutely and unreservedly would have climbed over Brad Pitt, George Clooney and David Beckham together to get to him. In his safari suit, spattered with snake venom, legs like summat holdin' up the Sphinx, mad hair.....yes, every time.

    I recently watched one of his programmes when he was with a group of chimps which had been mal-treated, and there he was, the daftest looking chap you ever saw, with the most magnificent heart and spirit but as gentle as a little lamb. I blubbed like a baby along with him, it was so funny and poignant.

    Yep. That's what does it for me. Am I alone?

    Mind you, I also nurse a similar mad crush on Danny Baker. So maybe I do need that medication.

So a cpuple of days ago I told you about how I have been having trouble with stuff. I used the term 'you wait ages for a but and then 3 come along at once'. Well you can probably guess its men! Mr A, Mr B and Mr C. The 1st I used to fancy, got over him and now there is flirting from both parties. Mr B great guy but I'm not sure he gets the whole m.e thing. Since telling him about it I haven't heard anything. And Mr C is just lovely I, a dish who I could fall for right now but he goes to uni miles away. At the mo I'm having a flirt (and nothing more!) with all of them! Well keeps my minds off benefits!

    I emailed The News of the World the other day. And the reply read, "Why on earth would he want to do that?"

    Hi CLP

    How lovely it is to know that you want to look the way you think you shoulod for "your intended" (Chrissie S I soooo agree it's so sweet!) and how equally lovely to know that she really doesn't care that much whether you do or you don't have the said belly.

    Just enjoy this magical time when you're both so into each other and always remember the way you feel right now for those times when things might not be quite as rose coloured.

    Now I know that loads of you probably get up before 7am, but I'm not terribly used to it you understand? So, each day, getting to work is a bit of a major feat, given that I'm having to w-a-l-k to and from bus stops about a mile from each end...mind you, I've slept well lately...and I think that my lady-belly is diminishing somewhat...speshully if I stand up straight, hold my stomach in, and breathe out until I go blue...but that's not for here...

    'Death Cat in Hanging Horror'

    Earlier today, Tiddles(12) was found dangling by his collar from the window fastening of Room 73 at the Olldeers Nursing ±«Óãtv in Wetherfookawee, Texas. Albert Smalltrees(97) whose room it was, was also found by nurses, dead in bed this morning, clutching a bowl of sardine heads, with which, it is believed, he was trying to coax the cat out of the room.

    A spokesman declined to comment.

    In the meantime, I can't wait for the rest of today!

    CtD, I wish me and my husband never argued!

    Things are pretty difficult at the moment as I realise now that he doesn't want another child. We have 2 children the eldest is from his first marriage and I have been mum to him for 12 years. The youngest is nearly 4. He maintains that he only ever wanted 2 children but he has always known that I always wanted 2 of my own.

    Well I had the post natal depression thing going on which has obviously put him off plus he says that he is too old and doesn't want to be an old dad. He is only 39! I'm panicking a little as I know that the body clock is ticking and one day nature will have the final say.

    I am very blessed and lucky to have my 2 boys, however, the thought of not having another one has left me devastated. I mean totally heartbroken. It's causing tension which gives him more reason not to want another one.

    You sound like you really need to talk. A good solid heart-to-heart.

    Debbie #40 - this is a tough one. Really, really tough. I hope you don't mind me commenting, but I have a tiny bit of experience of this - it happened to someone very close to me.

    This is Catch 22 - there can be no winners. If you insist on having another baby, your husband will be resentful. If he does not agree to you needing (and I use that word deliberately) another baby, you will resent him. The person I know went along with her husband and did not have another child. It took 25 years, but eventually they split up over it. The hurt and resentment just grew and grew. Eventually, her husband admitted that he had been very wrong not to agree to add to their family. But of course it was just too late by then. They did go for counselling and they are back together. It can never be fixed, but they've come to terms with it.

    Now, this story is extreme, I know. Only you know just how much this means to you. Only you knows your own heart. I hope you can work this out but all I do know is, try to be really true to yourself when you think about this. You have to live with this for ever.

    I wish you the very best and I hope I haven't gone on too much.

    Bingo Star .... do tell! I'm sure I speak for lots of us when I say I'm well and truly intrigued.

    Seriously - we're here if you need to get anything off your chest, although we can't afford to bail you out as all spare coinage is going to HL's collection for the tea caddy for CLP and TGOTS

    CtD x x

    HL: thank you, so so generous, can you roll him up and post him along with the posters???

    Oh, Mr Star, how I wondered where you are...

    ...and there you are...or were, anyway...

    My only criminal record is by Ottowan, and a few hotly contested unpaid parking fines...but that is definitely NOT for here...

    Whether yours is, is your choice...as long as it was for something you believe in...or in the true SPIRIT OF WROCK...you should be fine I reckon.

    five days to show

    ps I have arrived. I have just been given my OWN stapler. Obviously my colleague has not seen the instructions not to give me anything sharp...oh dear...and that is why...anyone know how to get staples out of ears?

    Summer passed me by - was it April or May when we had that sunny day? But my thoughts have now turned to my hols and how I am ever going get into a bikini. So I've cut out the chocs and crisps and the hardest thing to cut out the beers.

    But my fellow bloggers and bloggettes, I just can't do it tonight, I've not been very social this week, so roll on 5.30 (not that I'm wishing my life away) just so I can savour the sweet amber nectar of a pint.

    And Hazel Love, yes the flirtatious guys are divers, which makes for interesting and enjoyable days when we get out diving. So roll on the hols when 25 of us land on the unsuspecting Eygptians, the diving will be good, the sun will shine and I'll find the crack in the evening most enjoyable. (Well you've got to keep your hand in - flirting is a skill, isn't it??)

    Bingo,
    I would humbly suggest that if you need to have the debate about whether you wish to reveal to the nation, then you shouldn't! I had this debate myself in private before revealing my situation in another place amongst virtual friends. I am glad that I took this course of action because it helped my progression through the situation and I am thankful to those who know for their assistance.

    XMwahX to those who know who you are!

    Bingo - Go on mate, reveal the story, if any of us can help then we will, if you just feel the need to offload it then go ahead and ask for no comments to be left. I'm sure everyone on here will respect your decision....

    Tinsel! Blow me darn. Was JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT VERY MAN YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!

    I was doing 'Dangerous Liaisons' with a folded up piece of paper, but my colleague is terribly un-cultured donchaknow, and had no idea woss goin on, billy...so I said Glenn Close, John Malkovich, that bird out of that other thing, isn't she called Sam something etc etc but he still has no idea. No idea who John Malkovich is either, and I couldn't explain further due to needing a lie down in a darkened room with a damp hankie on my forehead.

    Oh yes. John Malkovich.

    Most defiantly...

    ...and Mayhem, luv you too...obviously not in a John Malkovich way though...

    What a day - just want to share with you all that I might be buying a 25% share of a tiny one bedroom flat in a seaside resort near you!!!!

    It was only a couple of months ago I was ranting on here about how I'd never be able to afford a place of my own and out of the blue comes this offer through a housing association.

    GOD - I am so excited! Got a promise of a mortgage and am just sending off all the financial paperwork the HA needs to see if they'll offer me the place.

    Yippee - bring on the ARF.

    ps - Bingo - you know we want you too!

    Hummph,

    Yeah, Well, at "my age", which is slightly older than CLP, I'm finding myself becoming more gorgeous every day. I positively glow ALL THE TIME.

    Why I hear you ask, well is because I finally believe that I am gorgeous, and the more I say it to myself, the more other people seem to notice too.

    Everyone in the office calls me Gorgeous now, and someone randomly just bought me a t-shirt which says 100% gorgeous, and if that isn't a feel good confirmation, I don't know what is.
