Morning all. YAWN!
Been up since 3.30am. Had a chinese and a couple of drinks (!) and it doesn't agree with me. I woke up with a raging thirst and haven't been to sleep since. Have spent a productive couple of hours fine tuning my debt busting and have now made standing orders for min payments (or above) to come out of one account, so hopefully I may be able to control my budget a bit better and instead of spending any extra money I have on stupid things it will go on debt busting instead.
Heres the weekend list for those that need a kick up the bum (ME!)
I was going to get up early and go for a run, but I am actually going to go back to bed now. Will have to do run tomorrow now!
sees you all later.....xxxxxx hugs

I am not sure to be honest??? I think he is just going to the pub to watch the footie on a big screen. He is an everton supporter so I think the Blackburn v Everton match - my home town against his home town......
No bloatedness, or sweating thanks!!:rotfl: :rotfl: Just a raging thirst and an overactive mind! Wine no longer agrees with me and I really should start drinking something else :cool: ..... and as soon as I wake up my mind starts ticking ticking ticking ticking and then I can't sleep...:rotfl:Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

Ah right I get that too, there must be something in the food that makes your mind go mental. I get it too, my heart starts beating 10 to the dozen and I just cannot settle. I think Blackburn could be in trouble this season.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Chinese food has lots of MSG (It always made me laugh when Martin called his now-MSF his MSG.....)
MSG will make you thirsty.
Colouring in certain chinese dishes can make people a bit hyperactive too (me)
And if you have it rarely (nowadays in a DFW lifestyle) then it is going to have a bigger effect than if you were used to it.......
Can't think of a solution though
But the thought of housework may drive me back to bed......0 -
Lenny - aren't Blackburn in trouble every season!:rotfl:
I used to laugh at the MSG but didn't know she'd become and MSF - that one passed me by(!)
I think you may be right - I have had chinese less since I have been going to Slimming World and also drinking less so I think the combination of the two didn't do me any good.
With a bit of luck I will be asleep all afternoon and will be awake when Paula Radcliffe runs her marathon and then I can watch. I would sooo love her to win a gold, but daren't even start to think she might.Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford
