Friday Frivolity: Dieting

Friday Frivolity

This last week has been a bit of a disaster - I spilled a glass of coke over my laptop and that was the end of it. Thankfully my new (second hand) laptop arrived yesterday, just in time to catch up with the linky!

Still, it was obviously my own fault for drinking fizzy pop in the first place... It's just that:

Diet Quote

I'm lovin' this graph too -

My relationship with junk food...

Although, if this one is true I ought to be a size 0, junk food or no!

Calories in Household Chores
Perhaps it's because I draw the line at wearing high heels to do my chore workout, like these ladies back in 1957:

      It's a running joke that I always destroy my laptops somehow - I dropped the last one on the floor, and the one before that I smashed the screen!

Guide to Sindy Houses

As far as 1/6 scale doll houses go, Sindy's Super Home is fairly ubiquitous. It's a good size, it isn't made out of pink plastic, and you can pick one up on eBay for under £50. But the Super Home wasn't Sindy's only foray into property ownership. In fact she had numerous different houses, caravans, stables, and other buildings... 1970 Sindy's Town House Though this was advertised in the 1970 brochure, it doesn't seem to have ever made it into production. 1973 Sindy's House This one apparently made it into limited production, but was flimsy and was soon replaced. According to the Sindy Museum , it had four rooms, decorated as a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and lounge. You can see part of the house used for photos in the 1974 catalogue . 1974 Sindy's House Existing examples appear to have been competition wins, so it is unlikely this house was ever on general sale. You can read more about it HERE . 1975
