    Hiya everyone. You have all been so busy chatting FAB. I am soooooo happy, we are all getting on and chatting. When I first posted this thread, i wasn't expecting anything more than a couple of replies saying, you can post here or there to talk about your weight and spending issues. i never in my wildest dreams, thought all you FABULOUS people would come and say "hello". At the risk of repeating myself "BIG BIG THANKYOU, TO ALL OF YOU.

    Now I don't think you all have been doing much work today ?? looks to me like you have all been siting around chatting :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I was in bed from 9am till 5pm wooooo hooooo thats a record for me. But it does sometimes happen. Plus i have been working 5 0n and 2 off instead of 4 0n and 2 off for 3 month now. Short staffed and extra money of course. But that is now at a end. As i have trained in a new member of staff. So as from next week i am back on my own shifts. Which will be a blessing as I am worn out but the down side is, my wages will be about £250 down a month. BUT HEY you are now looking at super budget girl. If I can get through 2 weeks on a total of £13, thinking on my feet everyday of how i am going to get the next days meals. I can do ANYTHING. (I THINK) :rotfl: .

    Right i am going now to do a bit of gardening as it is a nice night. Exercise is a BIG BIG NO NO NO for me. So must get my head around that.

    I will be back after my gardening, to chat and catch up on all your GEN.

    But before i go i must say.

    puzzled I am sooooooooooooo proud of you. Thankyou for sharing with us. You have come a long way, you are an inspiration to me. I have a couple of food pranks I used to and still do get up too. I will post them later tonight when I return.

    and i must apologize to who ever posted the "potato and leek soup recipe" as I cant recall your name, but will reply personally later tonight. Soup was deeeeeeelish. made it for tea today, took me half and hr. brill and thankyou. Se you all in about an hour

    Hi Guys

    Just wanted to apologise because I've been AWOL most of this week thumbsdown.gif- nothing personal to you lovely people...just very busy working (and because I worked both days last weekend as well, I've been getting more and more tired as the week's gone on, so net-surfing time has been the thing to go - last night I fell asleep on the sofa at 8pm!! :o).

    Anyway, I just wanted to apologise for not being around to offer any support, and to say that I'm back now and hoping to be more use going forwards! :rolleyes: My food this week has been pretty hit and miss (2 takeaways - pizza and kebab/chips spank.gif) but I've still been doing a lot of walking so I managed to knock off another 1lb today at Weightwatchers. I was very surprised as I really know that I didn't deserve it - but am back on track now and determind to get back into the swing of things so that it doesn't all catch up with me next week and bite me on the bum (so to speak!:rotfl:).

    Hope you've all had a good week. I will be trawling through all the threads I've missed over the weekend, so hope to be a bit more up-to-date then... :D

    Glad to have you on board with us. don't worry about your "issues" we have loads of them between us. I have toilet, shower and bath issues as well as as , eating and spending and have some that haven't come up in conversation yet. Nothing you cant tell us. There will be one of us, who can identify with it or something similar

    Look forward to reading your posts

    Hi Jo,

    I'm glad you liked the soup, I got the recipie from a friend of mine whose husband is a chef.

    It's dead easy to make and you're right, it is delish.

    No need to aploagize. We all have are lives to live. i dont want anyone to feel they must find time to post. Although its helpful to post and chat, we do have lives to lead. i have had a sh*te week and have another one to face, but i have learned more this week about my self than I have in 50yr.

    I know what you mean about being tired I have been working overtime a lot lately. It does wear you out. Glad you popped in for a chat.
