This is what is left after three goes with the iron and paper. I think it's time I tried the goo remover/wax remover.
-
Hehe, it was either that or posting a pic of some weeds in my herb garden. Didn't seem to have the same appeal
-
It's not actually my lawn... I live in a highrise so I had to steal a photo of someone else's lawn from the internet!

It depends... some days I'll only have a small chocolate, like a Caramello Koala, other days I'll have a full-size chocolate bar. Sometimes, if I happen to miss a meal, I'll go crazy and gorge myself on way too much. Friday night I got home late from work and ate almost an entire packet of Peanut M&Ms. Wasn't feeling too good after that!

Here's mine...
Now show us yours!

That is very true. Eating chocolate/lollies is a good quick fix but definitely not a good long-term energy source. Mind you, dark chocolate keeps me satisfied longer than milk chocolate.

I love chocolate. I usually eat it once a day, and it makes me all hyperactive and giggly. However, after inducing myself into a particularly nasty sugar coma on Friday night, I decided to see if I could break my chocolate addiction.
So far I haven't eaten a single piece of chocolate, and it is killing me. I am actually having withdrawal symptoms. Sunday afternoon I started feeling dizzy and nauseous, and today I had the mother of all headaches. At about 2pm, I actually began sweating for no apparent reason.
I am very close to giving up and eating one of the mini kit kats in the fridge, but I'm going to try and hold out a bit longer.
Has anyone else had any interesting experiences with going cold turkey?

How long have you had it? You should definitely get it looked at... it's probably a sign that your shoes are too tight (?).

-
Yep, we're screwed.
-
Wow, you guys are handy!
Tsondaboy, thanks, I will add that to my list of things to try. I'm hopefull that at least one of them will work!
-
Someone at work just suggested that - we have a version here in Aus called "Goo Remover". I'm worried it might strip the colour out of the carpet though. Will check it out!
-
I had all four of mine out a couple of years back, wasn't too horrific. I spent most of the time sleeping. Best thing to do is keep the ice packs on your face as much as possible, which reduces bruising/swelling.
-
Yep we used an iron and baking paper - a little came out but unfortunately most of the wax has sunk deep into the carpet. We're going to keep trying though. Thanks guys!
-
Crazy huh? Shaving is a pain and salon waxing is ridiculously expensive. I dread to think how much money I've spent on the two over the years.
-
TimRide, thanks for the link. Might try using the iron and see if it works.
Indo, yep, if we can't get it out we'll have to call in the pros. Hopefully I can get the majority out myself though.
-
I accidentally knocked a candle off the coffee table and now there's purple wax stuck in the dark blue carpet. We tried sponging it out with hot water but there's still a noticable purplish stain.
If my apartment manager sees it we'll probably lose our bond
Does anyone know how I can get rid of the wax completely or at least make it less noticable?
-
Ahh... really? Where are you supposed to put the video camera? I guess you put it in a backpack and run a line up to the helmet. Aside from the logistics, it seems like a costly endeavour.
-
Why don't they just get hairplugs?
-
^^^ this might be more suitable than an actual digicam. and cheaper, i would imagine.
-
Awesome, post a photo of it when you've got it, that'll really annoy the anti-girl squad
-
It's floppy, so yes
-
Yuck!
Guys don't really do that, do they?
-
So did everyone get what they wanted for Christmas?
I didn't end up getting money for a new phone from my parents - instead they bought me a new digital camera, which was even better
My favourite present was this handbag which I got from my boyfriend. I've been wanting it for ages and I think it's perhaps the BEST THING EVER:

It would be a huge achievement for me to be able to turn down chocolate. Everyone in the office knows I'm addicted and they give me chocolate and lollies all the time. So yeah, I don't think I want to give it up completely, but I'd like to be able to function without it.
I think my blood sugar takes a dive about an hour after I have lunch, and that's when I start craving chocolate. I'll have to do as 011 does and eat fruit or some yoghurt instead.
