Series 7 auditions

Well a funny thing happened at qualifying for series 7 :)

Turn up we did with me brimming with confidence about being 10 to 15 kilos underweight this year! Pop the ol girl onto the scales and horror of horrors 4 kilos OVER. We we cant let you in they say :( Ian at this point is the most depressed I have ever seen him ha ha ha.

Of you go he says and work your magic. As I am known for my blagging skills and persuasiveness under pressure :)

So Of I go in search of Neil the shows assistent producer.

Neil we are overweight mate. By how much he says? 4 kilos I say but its no problem as we can lighten the disk but not here in the carpark today. Let me speak to the producer he says! Producer comes over. Hello Mark nice to see you what's up? We are overweight by 4 kilos but its not a problem as we can easily lose it but not today! I have driven all the way from Vienna to be here (my ace card the sympathy vote)

Ahh your the one who comes all the way from Vienna! Yes all the way just for you Mr Nice Producer fellow (my second ace the tears)

Well I love the machine and want it in the show so your in :) be back here Tuesday with the weight lost!! So I guess we are seeded in a way ha ha ha.

Ian is suitably relieved :) He awards me a gold star for blagging skills under pressure. It has been said by my freinds that if I fell in a river I would emerge dry and with a salmon flapping in each pocket :)

Woohooo now we just have to lose 4 kilos on a bank holiday Monday with no lathe! So a frantic call to my Brother who is best mates with a guy (Mick) who owns an engineering firm. Yes I will go in a skim the disk for them no probs Mick says.

So of we trot to his workshop and in the end we took the two sides from the disk to make it elliptical and lost 7 kilos all told (nice). Anyway we yet again managed to get into the show which we are very proud of. I can Assure you that this machine is a machine to be reckoned with, as you will see when we appear on TV. Cant say more than that sorry! watch for us on Channel 5 in November "Heat N" is our first!!!
