You remind me of the merchant that was put to the wall by bolsheviks for dirty spekulation during civil war and before he was shot his last words were: “I should have sold them sausages for twice as much”

He's only land up owing me money.Originally posted by AtW View PostThat's the spirit!
The devil himself would prefer you to live forever on this God forsaken planet.
I still made £5500 sales and £1800 profit on Amazon while I was out of it.
Though to be fair it was probably the non-stop work that put me there in the first place.

That's the spirit!Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostSo for the last two days I did a few paper runs for people. Went round got a list of papers and magazines, then popped down to the hospital shop for them. They were incredibly grateful & I got nothing out of it. Now that's Karma! Well apart the £2 fee on top I had to charge them to use my Sum Up Card Reader I had in my bag to make sure it was contactless & Covid safe. They charge me 2% got to cover my outgoings somehow!

FYI. I was up and mobile after the first five days on the wards, and there were loads of patients stuck in beds. Oh the number of times, they asked a nurse to get them a newspaper only to fall on deaf ears.Originally posted by AtW View PostOr just go for your tongue - should be 100 lb easy
btw, your karma will improve if you reduce your profit margins on that Prime rip off shop you've got on Amazon...

I was once 16 stone (100 kg in new money). I did briefly wonder if losing a leg would help me achieve my target weight quickerOriginally posted by Hobosapien View PostHaving bits removed for weight loss is a tad extreme. Hope the private treatment isn't costing an arm and a leg.

I am perpetually 7-10 kg off where I'd like to be (my weight fluctuates quite a bit). As of this morning I am 10 kg off.
I remain in hope of contracting a minor disease that isn't debilitating but does cause weight loss.Last edited by ladymuck; 31 January 2021, 10:53.

I'm already down into the 15 stone range. Should be less than 200lb in about a week or so. ;-)

How to Get Rid of Gallstones Naturally: 9 Treatments to TryOriginally posted by MarillionFan View PostI is out of hospital and at home recovering & on antibiotics
It's considered a little too dangerous to remove gall bladders at the moment due to the risk of catching Covid when they open you up, so I am at home with Acute cholecystitis and medicines. Won't be able to have an operation until well past Wave 3.
I am of course now Tee Total and on a super low fat diet & the weight is dropping off fast.
And it was all caused by that last Wafer thin mint!
