I love our way of life
I started dieting when I was 12 years old. I wasn’t overweight but I felt pudgy and I wanted a new boy at school to like me. Somehow, I obtained a calorie counting book and quickly memorized it. Each day, I tried hard to reach my goal of eating a certain number of calories. It was well below what I needed to eat as a growing child, but I didn’t see it that way at the time. I just wanted to get rid of my squishy stomach and eat a little less.

Do you have an egg chair you would like to sell?

Tanya from Burwood

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

My daughter is on the lookout for an egg chair that we can hang in her room to make a nice quiet reading space. She's saved up $250, so if you have one that you no longer use and would be interested in selling it to her that would be within her budget we would really love to hear from you. Given the space available in her room it would be ideal if it was one of the smaller sized ones (I've included a picture to show the type of ones that would fit and an example of the bigger ones that wouldn't). It doesn't have to come with its stand since we'll be hanging it inside.

Thanks so much,

Tanya :-)

Disorientated Homing Pigeon at our place.

Bit of a sitting duck to be honest - it's simply waddling about like a fatty and it's wearing home d pink coloured anklets - 179 or 79. Please reunite yourself with this obese chick if it's yours. It's in Ryan St and well in sight of predators.
