TakeNote.com.au: so cool, you write a note online, and they’ll handwrite it
on paper and send it to you. This note was a test written by me πŸ˜›

Divine Jimmy Choo leather & crystal flats that I just bought. I LOVE ‘EM!!!

And yes, they look ridiculously similar to the Jimmy Choo heels I bought..
so might sell these heels on eBay, as I can’t really wear heels anymore πŸ™


Someone sent me a link to Overeaters Anonymous the other day…. I’ve bold-ed below what does apply to me. I’m a bit perturbed that so many actually apply to me.. that can’t be a good thing!

Do you eat when you’re not hungry? Yes.. mainly chocolate truffles or McDonald fries
Do you go on eating binges for no apparent reason? Just whenever I “feel like it”, if that counts
Do you have feelings of guilt and remorse after overeating? Yes, but the food just tastes too good to resist
Do you give too much time and thought to food? YES!! I think about food all day long
Do you look forward with pleasure and anticipation to the time when you can eat alone? Absolutely, but not necessarily alone
Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time? No, I just eat whenever there’s food around
Do you eat sensibly before others and make up for it alone? Only sometimes, it depends on the people I’m with
Is your weight affecting the way you live your life? Not really
Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer), only to fall short of your goal? Yes. Eating less and exericising never seems to agree with me
Do you resent others telling you to “use a little willpower” to stop overeating? YES. And the whole “Don’t you find it disgusting?”
Despite evidence to the contrary, have you continued to assert that you can diet “on your own” whenever you wish? Heh. I’m sure I can.. I think?
Do you crave to eat at a definite time, day or night, other than mealtime? Always around 3-4pm and 3-4am
Do you eat to escape from worries or trouble? I do, but I also eat when I’m happy..
Have you ever been treated for obesity or a food-related condition? Nah
Does your eating behavior make you or others unhappy? Au contraire, it makes Chris VERY happy πŸ˜‰

You can get reeses in a store at Macquarie Centre, Sugar Fix and some 7 elevens in Sydney. My local Video Ezy sells them too.

I saw you and Chris at Macquarie Centre General Pants today too =)
I work there, but didn’t say hello because I’m shy. Hehe.

Yeah I saw ’em at Mac centre! But we’re not there often πŸ™

Oooo were you the other person working there? I only spoke to one girl. asked her the price of the black leather flats (they’re sooo comfy) but they’re $70 which is so $$ for plain shoes so I had to pass!

There were 6 of us on today, probably the best of us too, such a fun crew..5 girls and 1 boy.

Yeah they’re expensive for a flat plain shoe, but being general pants – they sell like mad.
Something about them being 100% leather and they’re handcrafted (sewn onto the base of the shoe instead of being glued on like most ballet shoes). I have a pair in a muted red colour (not the new patent ones, ew). They are super comfy, i love mine. But I get discount..otherwise I wouldn’t have them =D

Oooo really? Yeah they were more comfy that the ones from other stores. Hmm I’m tempted πŸ˜› They come in black, and also white and the ballet pink? Do you know if they’ll go on sale soon? i want ’em.. hehe!

we had Cheeky salad for lunch, SO YUM (and healthy!).

No chance they’ll go on sale soon. If ever.
They sell too well, and General Pants knows people will pay full price..so yeah. They never put the big sellers on sale – but there is the occasional good sale!. Especially at Macquarie Centre because we’re one of few stores that keeps stock once it goes on sale (and the other stores send their sale stock to us).

Haha, insider tip.

They come in black, white, shiny red and nude pink. They also have the black ones that ribbon around the ankle.

I’ve never been to cheeky salad. I go to a noodle store next to it for salt and pepper squid with rice. It is sooo good, the best I’ve had. And Easyway. I try to spend as little time in Mac Centre as possible =P

Oh d’oh! Well I’m eyeing the black, white and pink πŸ˜› What brand are they? I’m going to see if I can find a cheaper pair but if not then I’ll get these ones next time I’m at Mac.

I know that Noodle place, never had their squid though!

They’re called Joto. There is quite a good stock of them in our store at the moment, I expect we’ll get more in before Christmas. I want a black pair, just because they go with everything. The quality really is very good, you can feel how soft the leather is on foot =)

If you decide to get them you should call up before you make the trip and check to see if we have your size and colour, just to be sure, because they’re super popular! hehe.

Good idea! I’ll def call and maybe you’ll be around πŸ™‚

I heard they come in mint as well, so dunno if they’re sold out now. Ooo I wish they were like $20 then I’d buy one in every colour, haha!

Can not believe they do not have a Resse in Aus? I am loving the Jimmy Choo shoes you always find the best deals! I also can not believe that there is an overeating ann. group out there!

*gasp* There’s NO Reese’s peanut butter cups in Aussie????? They’re my favorite chocolate candy too =D I can’t live without them I tell ya!

i LOVE those Jimmy Choo heels.. but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to wear them again πŸ™ But I’m happy I’ve got the flats version in the meantime!

Oo chris would love the dark choc one, i bet!

I do like butterfingers! And whachamacallits too, but Reeses is the best *smacks lips*

I love to collect high heels but most of the time I wear sneakers. 2 months ago I found this pair of boots from Dr Martens and are the best boots to walk in. I can wear them for the whole day long or like few days in a roll without feeling sore on my feet! amazing!

here is the link to my boots! πŸ™‚

OMG they’re awesome! Dr Martens make comfy shoes and I like how these boots aren’t too high but still have a bit of heel. I’m gonna see if they sell near me, thanks for the rec: D

No worries!:)

Trust me, you will love them. they are soo comfy to walk in. Unbeliveable comfy! compared to most of the heels! And they look much better in real than on the pic!

I love love love ’em.. the original’s the best IMHO, the bars and minis aren’t as nice, but I”ll take what I can get , haha!

I’ve had to switch to flats also. It’s a shame because I have so many gorgeous pairs of heels in the cupboard.
I can’t say I have any as yum as your Choos though!!

Same πŸ™ Plus it’s $$ to switch to flats! But I’ll sell off some of my heels since I probably won’t wear most of them anymore.. just the ones I reaaaaaaally like, hehe

Oooh whee!! I love Reeses AND Jimmy Choos! Double-great post! Hehe.

By the way I have a very easy recipe for some peanut butter and chocolate squares that taste very much like Reeses. Let me know if you want!

Here you go!

Reeese’s Squares (No Bake)

1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 lb confectioners sugar
1.5 cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, melted
1 bag milk chocolate chips

Combine graham crumbs, sugar and peanut butter. Mix well.
Blend in melted butter until well combined.
Press mixture evenly into 9″ x 13″ pan. (I just use any old tupperware)
Melt choc chips in microwave or double boiler.
Spread over peanut butter mixture.
Chill until just set & cut into bars.

Can not believe they do not have a Resse in Aus? I am loving the Jimmy Choo shoes you always find the best deals! I also can not believe that there is an overeating ann. group out there!

The quality really is better though IMHO, as I buy cheap shoes too and they tend to fall apart or the finish isn’t that good. Still, I think half the price would be more reasonable πŸ˜‰
