    Cat Bathing

    1. Thoroughly clean toilet. 2. Lift both lids and add shampoo. 3. Find and soothe cat as you carry him to bathroom. 4. In one swift move, place cat in toilet, close both lids and stand on top, so cat cannot escape. 5. The cat will self agitate and produce ample suds. (Ignore ruckus...

    Spiderman 2

    This has just come out over here. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought the characterisation was very good - I got a bit bored with the Green Goblin fights in the last movie. My husband ruined it slightly for me though. I said that I was pleased with the ending, to which he said 'Well you...

    Spirit of Freedom Liveaboard

    Thanks very much for the response - particularly the heads-up about the showers! We have looked at the itineraries again and decided to go with Mike Ball instead, as we both like our creature comforts. cheers Rosie

    Spirit of Freedom Liveaboard

    My husband and I are considering doing the 7-night itinerary on the Spirit of Freedom in March 2005. Could anyone help me with the following: 1. What is the water temperature like at this time? I dived in the Bahamas in 24C in a full 5MM suit and was about right. 2. Are there strong...

    Neopreme...

    My pet hate is people who say 'pacific', when they mean 'specific'. GRRRRR! Also, people who say 'skelington', instead of 'skeleton' and (this one seems to be getting more and more common) people who say 'pleece', when they are referring to the 'police'. Don't get me started on grocer's...

    Diving more energetic than swimming? That's really amazing, considering how much less physical effort it is. If only I lived somewhere nice enough to dive instead of having to wait for holidays! cheers Rosie

    The Bonus Points (as they were called when I started) are as follows: Cycling gently : 1 per 15 mins Cycling strenuously : 1.5 per 15 mins Swimming : 2 per 15 mins I don't have the points for Scuba, but I would think if you allowed half of the swimming points that would be about right...

    OK here's a challenge!

    I don't know if the brand is the same in the US, but we have low-fat yoghurts called Muller-lite, which are 1.5 WW points. These come in flavours like toffee, chocolate, lemon-lime and so on and they are absolutely great when they are frozen! Just like a proper ice-cream! cheers Rosie

    What's your query on them Natasha? I have studied them long and hard in my goal for extra food! cheers Rosie

    A mixed weekend for me... Managed to stick to my WW points on Saturday (if you count the bonus points for a long run!). Sunday was on the 22-mile water station at the London Marathon and the only place to eat nearby was, yes, you've guessed it - McDonalds. One Big Mac and large fries...

    Short/Long term goals...

    Having been to my WW weigh-in this lunchtime, my goal is to lose 10lbs. I am currently 3lbs over my goal weight of 147lbs, but like to be at 140lbs, as I find it is better for my running. Good luck to everyone! cheers Rosie

    Libra? Isla? DIva? Luna? Which one?

    I have a Diva LX and although the position underwater is great (because of the wing), I find it does tend to push me face down on the surface. CuriousMe, you are probably right, so I am going to try inflating it less to see if that helps, but I suspect that the weights being at the front also...

    Best Pizza Topping Combination

    My favourite is the now sadly defunct Pizza a la Noci, from Pizza Express. They make Italian-style thin crust pizzas in wood-ovens and while not quite authentic are pretty good. The a la Noci was tomato-based, with spinach, gorgonzola and toasted walnuts. Makes my mouth water just thinking...

    Pork Chops..help!

    Mix some soft goats cheese with black pepper and chives and add it on just before it finishes cooking, but long enough to heat through and get a nice, brown, crust. cheers Rosie

    Aqua Cat - Exumas

    Hi Ken, Hope you're well! I've been out of circulation for a week or two, as work has been crazy - Easter can't come soon enough. Having said all the negative stuff about the fish, I looked back over my logbook and there were quite a few nice things to see, like Christmas Tree Worms and...

    Aqua Cat - Exumas

    The boat is docked at Hurricane Hole Marina, Paradise Island. There are lots of hotels - we stayed at the Atlantis, which is a lot of fun, but quite a big investment. The coral was pretty healthy, but I was disappointed by the number of fish, probably because my previous experiences have...

    Aqua Cat - Exumas

    Hi Barracuda, To answer your questions: 1. The coldest water temperature we had was 23C (sorry, don't know what that is in F). I had a 3mm farmer john and 3mm long-sleeved shortie over the top and did get a little cold - but I feel the cold a lot anyway. I did see one diver with a hood...

    Aqua Cat - Exumas

    .. it was fantastic! They had to throw me off the boat when it ended. The boat was really comfortable, the crew are great and special mention should be made of Jim and Sylvia (Chef and Sous-Chef). The food was incredible, something very important to my husband and me, as we are both very...
