[Hayley:] this morning.
[Lyn:] I, right when I took them, I was taking
[Hayley:] And I can't stop working.
[Lyn:] I used to take them every day and I was like that right, and then what I used to do... on a Sunday I wouldn't take one cos I used to think right I like my Sunday dinner and I will never give up my Sunday dinner when I'm dieting right
[Debbie:] Oh no.
[Lyn:] I'll always have my Sunday dinner
[Hayley:] Oh I tell you what
[Lyn:] so on a Sunday I used to say right I'm not gonna take my tablets today because it's a waste of a tablet if you're gonna eat... like that, and on a Sunday I used to be absolutely exhausted... because you take them all the time and they keep you going and then when you stop taking them... they've just, you wind down
[Debbie:] When you stop taking them altogether now do you mean?
[Lyn:] and I yeah I went two months and he give me right, they're called... they're yellow like round tablets they are, like an aspirin but they're yellow right?

[Hayley:] It's no good Lyn, no, what I'll do is is exercise. I enjoy it, I always used to run.
[Lyn:] But honestly this slimming club I go to, honestly it's really good. I mean I lost weight on it last year.
[Debbie:] You've got thin legs, it's only here Hayle you've gotta lose it.
[Lyn:] She, exactly
[Hayley:] Yeah.
[Lyn:] I'm, I'm like that. I'm all look, that's all fat. I haven't got fat legs really, I mean I put stockings on and a short skirt and I put something long on and... from the back Russell said you look skinny he says, when you turn round and you see... that
[Debbie:] Yeah.
[Hayley:] Yeah.
[Debbie:] We've all got that though Lyn, I mean come off it.

[Hayley:] That's not fat!
[Lyn:] Yeah but to er... you haven't though Deb.
[Hayley:] Mine is... and it's lazy fat, that's what it is.
[speaker007:] Yeah.
[Hayley:] But it's not only that, I'm not lazy or nothing
[speaker007:] Sit ups you want to do.
[Hayley:] it's the exercise I should do.
[speaker007:] Yeah but it's so boring exercising.
[Hayley:] I haven't exercise like cos I haven't I haven't hardly... I've just er doing everything like, and I've been working hard but
[Lyn:] Yeah but you're on cloud nine.
[Hayley:] Yeah I am.
[Lyn:] And when I took those I didn't come down for a, and that frightened me, I said to Russell I will never ever take speed... because it's if, I was er we were in the pub right on a Sunday morning and I was there but I wasn't there, I was somewhere else.... And people were just saying to me what's the matter?
[Hayley:] I've taken speed as powder right... and... erm... it had an effect like these ones....
[Lyn:] It's a thirty... have a look on the bottle if they're thirty
[Hayley:] Thirty mils yeah.
[Lyn:] They're thirty mils, they're the strongest ones see.
[Hayley:] Yeah.
[Lyn:] You can get twenty five.
[Hayley:] Get fifteen too isn't there, sometimes you can
[Lyn:] Yeah. You can get erm a red and a grey one... I think that's the fifteen, then you can get a yellow and a grey one, that's the twenty five.
[Hayley:] And the all yellow ones are the thirty.
[Lyn:] Are the thirty.
[Hayley:] Yeah. Perhaps I'm going a bit too strong see.... Cos I mean for someone like me, I was saying that like, before I used to say to you... I wouldn't eat all day, right? But then, when I le left you and went to work I'd eat those pasties and crisps and then perhaps I'm still hungry, sometimes I'd go and have a Chinese all at the wrong time, that's what all that is innit?
[Lyn:] When I lost
[Hayley:] And then lying on it.
[Lyn:] [yawning] when I lost my weight with slimming we were try I was losing two pounds [] a week and I weren't starving, I was still drinking... and it come off and I lost, I lost about... I think it was about eighteen pounds, it was over a stone. I s I was still only down to sort of eleven stone, but if I get to like ten stone
[Debbie:] Yeah.
[Lyn:] something... but I'm not a small person. I mean like you're quite small framed aren't you so, if you went up to ten stone you'd look huge
[Hayley:] Yeah.
[Lyn:] but ten stone something
[speaker007:] I used to be eleven stone.
[Lyn:] and I look quite slim because I'm not a small person.
[speaker007:] I used to be eleven stone, when I was eighteen, nineteen I was eleven stone Hayle. And that's honest to God.
[Hayley:] Never well you must've looked big Deb cos you're small.
[speaker007:] Oh I was massive man I had a double chin an'all. My arms were massive.
[Lyn:] I don't remem remember you like that. I never remember you like that.
[speaker007:] No well I wasn't. I moved to from Nelson and that's when I was big.
[Lyn:] And how did you lose all your weight then? You just lost it?
[speaker007:] I went on an egg diet... with the girls in work
[Hayley:] Egg diet? I thought
[speaker007:] Yes.
[Hayley:] they were fattening.
[speaker007:] No it wasn't just eggs though it was erm... like salads and there was steak, you could have one meal a day, right, but it was eggs for your breakfast, eggs for your dinner, your lunch
[Hayley:] Now I love eggs but I thought eggs
[speaker007:] and then it was salad
[Hayley:] binded you.
[speaker007:] They do. They do bind you
[Lyn:] But you'd have to take something to make you
[speaker007:] but the thing is you can you eat fruit in between see Hayle so you're having... you know,you your roughage.
[Lyn:] Yeah your roughage with that yeah.
[Hayley:] Oh I see.
[speaker007:] As well like in between.
[Lyn:] When I went to slimming I used to get
[speaker007:] I tell you what I lost a stone and half in two weeks
[Lyn:] I used to have erm
[speaker007:] by sticking to that.
[Lyn:] I'd get up in the morning I'd have my two pieces of wholemeal bread toasted with a scraping of marmalade on, right, and my butter cos I like that. For my dinner then I'd have er jacket potato with tuna... then about four o'clock I would have an apple and an orange and maybe a Mars Bar cos right. And then before eight o'clock then I would make myself a big meal, I'd have a, a huge salad... I'd do tinned potatoes cos they were, on this diet tinned potatoes aren't fattening
[Hayley:] Aren't they?
[speaker007:] No they're not.
[Lyn:] No so I'd have tinned potatoes
[Hayley:] I don't like them I don't like
[Lyn:] I'd have tuna fish, I'd have ham, everything because you can eat as much meat... you could sit down and eat... cabbage, swedes, runner beans, cauliflower, peas... every vegetable
[Debbie:] That's what I'm doing for him now. But I don't like veg I don't.
[Lyn:] and that's not counted in your, in your calories, you can just eat that, it's all free so you can eat as much as you like of that. Cos if I was really hungry I used to go upstairs, I'd get all the frozen veg out, I'd cook a bit of everything
[Hayley:] It's not so bad
[Lyn:] I'd slam a pork chop under the grill and I'd just eat that. And it used to fill me up and I'd
[speaker007:] Yeah.
[Lyn:] that's nothing then, I could eat as much as that as I liked.... And bacon's not fattening grilled on this diet, you can eat as much bacon as you like as long as you cut the fat off and grill it.
[Debbie:] That's on this Slimming World diet is it?
[Lyn:] It's marvellous yeah, I lost weight on it....
[Debbie:] What we'll have to do Hayley right, when she starts now she'll have to tell us what she's eating every day
[Lyn:] I've got a book in the house.
[Hayley:] Yeah.
[Debbie:] and then we can do the same.

[Hayley:] Got your own telly?
[Lyn:] Yeah.
[Hayley:] Where'd you get it from?...
[Lyn:] Asdas years and years ago. Years ago this was when it was Carfours

[Lyn:] No....
[Hayley:] Oh perhaps... when i when it was Carfour
[Lyn:] Yeah.
[Hayley:] Perhaps
[speaker007:] Why what what?
[Hayley:] Well no I just wondered if you've had your own telly and you've just got it private you know, I mean they wouldn't have no records
[Lyn:] We've had it for years. Well Russell bought it when he was at home in his mother's house. And then we, when we got married we took it to our house. I mean it is a bit, well
[Gordon:] The only way they check now is if you go hire.
[Hayley:] About ten years?
[Lyn:] Yeah.
[Gordon:] If you've just bought it from a shop... and you've had it years
[Lyn:] Yeah. Anyway now they spot check.
[speaker007:] Yeah but they can can't they?
[Hayley:] They can ch they can do you without having your telly on now, they can still
[Lyn:] If you've got a telly in the house without having a licence. And I mean it's, it's a lot of money innit?
[Hayley:] and it's without havi without having a telly on....
[Lyn:] I've got erm... the other night, right, and next door
[Hayley:] And you can stop them from coming in as well if you've got debts like, yeah.
[Lyn:] Yeah it says, I read the thing and it says... I haven't gotta let them in unless they've got a warrant so the first time they come they wouldn't have a warrant, surely, so they're gonna have to go away and get a warrant and in that time then I'd have to get a licence wouldn't I?
[Hayley:] Well you could answer the door now and you say well I don't know love, I'm only the cleaner, they won't be back.
[Lyn:] Yeah well that's it. So the other night my, the girl next door to us, her husband does painting and he'd just got himself a new van... I said fucking hell I said to him sometimes I said there's a van outside [LAUGHTER] I wanna know who it is [], is that still on? Oh no

[Gordon:] Everywhere else is double time.
[Debbie:] Well that's it
[Hayley:] fifty quid last New Year's Eve didn't we?
[Debbie:] Yeah but you know why don't you? Because they paid us extra because nobody else worked with us, it was only me and you and my mother. So remember the committee said oh we'll pay you extra?... That's why.
[Lyn:] Yeah but there was more of you so the more of you that works they're not gonna pay you are they?
[Debbie:] That's it.... I said d do you know what I, I was the only
[Lyn:] So she's better off

[Lyn:] They're not taking as much
[Hayley:] They're not taking as much
[Debbie:] No but not only that
[Hayley:] and people get pissed off don't they? So they buy double usually don't they, well I would. If I thought oh bollocks I'm not standing here again.

[Debbie:] On er New Year's Eve.
[Lyn:] She buys them presents.
[Debbie:] Oh my God!
[Lyn:] Ev well I don't know about this year mind but every Christmas I worked there she never paid us double time for anything over Christmas, she was always bought us a present.
[Gordon:] Christmas Eve
[Debbie:] And what was it the present?
[Lyn:] Well one, one year Russell had
[Debbie:] Was it something good like or?
[Lyn:] he had aftershave and I had erm... perfume I did.
[Gordon:] Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are two double time... cos he wanted me to work and I wouldn't cos it wasn't double time.
[Lyn:] Oh.
[Debbie:] Well do you know, out of all the girls who work New Year's Eve right, I told them on the night, oh I said we'll get about forty pound for tonight won't I, because it's double time... and I was the only one who complained about it when I had my pay. Nobody else because, no
[Hayley:] [LAUGHTER]
[Debbie:] but I said, I had a shock on the Sunday and that's
[Hayley:] How much did you have then, time and half?
[Debbie:] I get thirty pound twenty five pence.
[Lyn:] For New Year's Eve.
[Debbie:] Yeah for New Year's Eve. I started at half past six and I worked until two o'clock in the morning. And I got thirty pound twenty five for it.
[Lyn:] Half past six, half past seven, half past eight, half past nine, half past ten, half past eleven, half past twelve, half past one... you're talking seven and a half hours.
[Debbie:] Seven and a, it's a full shift innit? But not only that I mean it's New Year's Eve, everybody else is bloody getting drunk and enjoying themselves and you're stuck doing the bloody bar.
[Hayley:] Yeah cos no fucking no one wants to do it do they?
[Lyn:] Yeah well then next year they'll have no one to do it will they?
[Debbie:] I'm not doing it next year, I said that.
[Lyn:] They won't have anybody doing it.
[Debbie:] No but mother said she's gonna sort it all out before Christmas comes because she said otherwise I'm not gonna get the bar staff to work.
[Lyn:] Mm.
[Debbie:] Cos I told her I'm not working.
[Lyn:] And like, now, it's not fair is it?
[Debbie:] And I'm not working next year anyway cos I've done it for two years on the run and I'm not doing it next year.
[Hayley:] I've done it five, this is the first time in five years I've had New Year's Eve off. And I was determined, and your mother was
[Lyn:] I'd done it for four years on the trot.
[Hayley:] looking at me as if hey erm and all [LAUGHTER] this like [] you know she was looking as if
[Debbie:] In a way I think Gwynn had one too many New Year's Eve. Because
[Hayley:] Never!

[Lyn:] Yeah as long as one
[Debbie:] No, no listen, listen, listen now right, last year when we both worked Hayley what was it like? The committee were in there, they had all their special seats there, their drinks ready right, and they said right girls, you ready now to start? And all of a sudden they unlock them doors out there and they come running
[Hayley:] Oh that's true, yeah.
[Debbie:] in here
[Hayley:] Pair of us had panic attacks didn't we?
[Debbie:] I had a panic attack, I told her, I said I'm shaking all over. And I thought if I go from behind this bar now I'll never go back behind it now. So I calmed down see and I was alright after about ten minutes. But this year it was much better because they'd let them all in because it was raining weren't it? So they couldn't leave them all standing outside.
[Hayley:] Bloody stupid anyway.
[Debbie:] So when they walked in here it was packed in there and it was full in the bar.
[Hayley:] Even if they'd let them in let them get their seats and said look the bar is not open.
[Debbie:] Well that's what they should do every year because do you know what it was much better this year.
[Hayley:] They do it in the Labour Club, you can go in there
[Debbie:] Within ten, fifteen
[Hayley:] right
[Debbie:] minutes we'd serne served everybody by that bar this year. Now what was it like last year, all night long we slogged didn't we?
[Hayley:] They let them stood out there in all that rain didn't they?
