    hi all

    Been 'told' this morning (before I even got up) that I am starting a diet as of today :rolleyes: . Apparently I 'don't need that red and green day !!!!!!', just to eat less. :rolleyes: this is from the mouth of the person who ate enough chilli last night to feed 3 hungry people.......

    i swear to God am gonna come down there and kick his fu**in c**t in:mad::mad::mad:
    seriously BB you do not need to put up with this kind of sh*t...get him to f**k:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Z's suggestion was perfect:cool:

    :heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls
  • As I said, a leopard never changes his spots. But I guess until BB can work up the courage/guts to tell him to sling his hook, he'll keep being a supreme !!!!!!. King !!!!!! of !!!!!! Mountain in fact.

    Toto,
    BRILLIANT news babe. I am sooooo happy for you. Have baby soon so we can all see what the little missy looks like.

    Hope you're coping ok hun x


    I'm alright bunny thanks. I've been nesting by proxy all week... in other words paying the kids to clean the house :rotfl:

    I'm all ready to get this over with, but then I have been for the last 8.5 months so nothing new there :D I'm really happy that fran is on his way home though, I've hated this tour. usually I just get on with it, as he does if I'm away but I guess I've gone all girly and need him around at the moment. He's got a few dates here and there, 2 days in switzerland next week, plus a Paris thing sometime, can't think when, but he's mostly around London so i feel a lot better.

    I couldnt have coped without Scott when I was pregnant (although he could have done without miserable me! LOL!) but the first 6 weeks or so after were the hardest part...If you want me to come down and be Nanny, I'd happily do it!

    and of course, we're hoping for a live DFW birth Toto - don't go all selfish and do it without a scream by scream update! :rotfl:

    well, I've decided to metaphorically stick 2 fingers up to my 'command' and I've been OS at the same time ;)

    I had no room in the freezer when the shopping arrived yesterday and I found a big tub with a handful of cherries I marinated in cherry brandy last christmas lurking in there. I decided to sacrfice them to get the meat in but didn't want to chuck them out.

    So, here's my OS/diet rebellion recipe of the day ;)

    Melt in the microwave all the chocolates you don't like which are left in the bargain box of Thorntons got via MSE (they will just taste of 'chocolate')

    Add the scrapings from the sides of a jar of Lidl chocolate spread and a knob of Smartprice butter.

    Microwave for another 20 seconds and stir well.

    Add a splash of Sheridan's that has been in the fridge since last Christmas.

    Strain the cherries and add. Stir again.

    Pour onto a piece of greaseproof - prettyness isn't necessary - runny edges are 'artistic'.

    Bung in the fridge until as hard as it will go.

    Sit with a spoon and scrape if off the greaseproof paper - it won't go solid, but what the hell, it's hardly Gordon Ramsay ;)
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

  • Personally, I'd be more impressed if you didnt just 'metaphorically' stick 2 fingers up and actually stick to fingers up!
