Admittedly I have a "potty mouth" sometimes, but I can't tell you how many times I have told someone that something was "shot" or even "crop". And if I was mad, to "funk off".

It's always at the worst times! If I'm irritated and typing quickly I might not even notice until it's too late lol

But then, I guess, the positive is that it lightens the mood when I laugh at how ridiculous the sentence now sounds.
My, how time flies....

I once described a nuisance caller to a friend as a 'stupid giraffe' over text. I meant 'stupid 'git'' but autocorrect got me, leading to much hilarity, and discussions on whether all giraffes were malevolent and/or called Geoffrey (Toy's 'r' us reference)...

Speaking of giraffes...!

I have been waiting for this April the Giraffe to pop since February! Last week they said "could be 24/48 hours". Ughhh...It's getting annoying now but I can't turn away yet. Too much time invested on this already to quit watching  ;D

We were talking about Cinnabon at work last week, so today I looked at their UK website to see if any new stores had opened...hopefully moving northward...

That's when I saw that you can order Cinnabon online for next day delivery!  WOOHOO!  I didn't care that it was going to cost nigh on £30 for 6 cinnamon rolls... I whipped out the credit card and completed the order form....clicked on the send button...

To find that my postcode is not in their delivery area.
Feck.  >:(

Think I'm spoiled by living further south as when we take day trips into London, I grab a cheeky cinnabon when I walk by one. If I don't see it, I'm fine...but the second I walk by I HAVE to get one hahah (although I'm unlucky in that all the Taco Bells are further up north!)

I've stared hard at that screen debating.  But my husband is gluten-free and my kid is dairy-free.  So I literally have to eat them all myself...  and it just feels *too* indulgent, you know?  I'm sure I'll break down one day...  Though I should just try the ones they have a Costco for a fiver.  It's HUGE!

Why?  Just why?   ;)

Slimming World.  That's where it's at.  You can chew food and everything.   ;D

I've been considering slimming world just wasn't sure if it worked or not.

I personally had a really good experience with Slimming World (lost the baby weight with my daughter).  I attended a group and met some great people and still run into people all over town.  It's actually not anything spectacular.  It's basically "eat right and move more".  lol!  But I would really recommend it.  Truly teaches you better lifestyle choices.  The meals are totally family friendly and you don't feel like you are on a diet.
