    "lower lunch time carbs" she reads whilst munching a syrup and cheddar sandwich:pWe've been at playgroup today after having my vitality breakfast. Remembered to take my sweetners with so no sugar in my tea at group. Went to savers to get a new thermometer so I can start charting:jcame home and made sandwich. On the plus side, DS is eating bread AND cheese. Granted, the bread is dry (the only way he'll touch it)-he did ask for chocolate milk but I told him he had to have some cheese first-he asked for the bread to go with it-and seems to have given up on the idea of chocolate milk for now:j
    KPC thanks for the tip about the recipes thread (shouldathoughtathatmyself).

    Okay, who's idea was it to direct me to the recipes thread (the one you directed me to KPC was not the one I was thinking about) and now Im salivating.

    Hi all, just wanted to wish you well over the weekend without MSE! Hope you're all doing great!
    Missy, I was thinking about you today, will FB you! May see you on the exercise thread yet ;)
    KPC, sorry there's space now in my PM box; you can always catch me on FB though if it happens again.

    Hi to BB, Vic, Beanie, Granny, Marion, Vix, Raph, Seren and everyone else I know and love on here, thinking of you (nope, not been drinking ;):rotfl:) xx

    Oh, and this has proably been mentioned but just in case - I had an open sandwich today for lunch, great way to eat less bread and makes you eat more slowly, v filling too! Yum!

    andy: nice shoes.....im too fat legged for those leggins, they look great on my thinner legged counterparts mind! All my friends are having dressing up nights, so i havent had to buy a new outfit for a while it seems. I need a gnome outfit if anyone has one ha.

    BB: True, but then its the 90% how you deal with it and the 100% of how it affects your life. So far this year i havent had a life at all... i can't believe how this is getting to me now and i really try hard to keep cheery because im not a gloomy person by nature but its beating me for sure. Im just going to have to work in pret a manger and deal with the fact i should never have done my degree because im not intelligent enough to do a decent job once i have it anyway. Im the sort of person who should have left school at 16, and ive just wasted the past 6 years of my life by not. Anyway, no need to reply BB i just needed to vent out slightly...again. Just ignore me!

    Granny: Have a fantastic time, hope the weather is nice for you.

    Missy: Obviously northern because its been overcast/misty the past two days here.

    Vix, I don't know what's been going on for you but don't talk about yourself like that hun; you ARE good enough! Sorry I haven't been around, hope things get better for you soon.
    Have a lovely time Granny (just realised still need to reply to you, oops!) Blimey, congrats on the WL too, fantastic!

    Vix have you looked at the market lately cooks? I don't remember when last you worked but I haven't been able to get back into the market since having DS...let me say that once the bankers have all had their rears kicked-there'll be plenty in it for folk like us...of course there's the fact that I can't market myself for tuppence so I have all these tricks up my sleave and reserve them these days for play-doh.Your time WILL come (as it goes).
    Got a call from another friend today to say she is six weeks pregnant:jShe was scared to tell me. I told her I'm going to be charting and I think she was shocked when I asked for her help (she used to work at a fertility clinic). But we have all our vitamins ready, my ov tests and a pg test (hopefully for next month;)) as well as my BBT chart-wonder if there's a thread for that here somewhere (or would you girls mind if I mumbled around here about it for a start).
    For now-Im having an old perculiar and DF is making beef skewers for supper. Who's on Facebook? If you enter my full name (which you can find on my blog), the only result that comes up is me. Please add me so that I have some of you about over the weekend (just dont forget to tell me who you are;))

    Vix - big hugs coming your way - it is tough out there and I know it's getting to you.
    And believe me, I'm still working on the '90% on how you react to life' myself. - a life's work I assure you and I have much still to learn.
    One of my lodgers had a degree and a MA and had to work for pret a manger for a year (at 25) before she found a job in her chosen career. I worked in factory putting tops on bottles in a perfume factory - and I've never regretted that experience. So it is kinda normal what you are experiencing, which doesn't help much I know. I know you just need to vent though, but you are special and do have a lot to offer. xx
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    I knoooooooow :( and i know everyone is in the same boat. I guess im feeling it more cos we moved out in october, and none of my friends have done this privatly, so i get to see them living the life i used to have and wishing i could get it back which makes it all the more worse. I regret moving, talk about the wrong time! I just can't see it changing. Of course it will but its like when youre 16 and you never think 22 will ever come round and it eventually does.

    I think its my hormones right now, im moaning constantly and i do apologise!

    Polka: Remember to have sex often but not too often, other half has to wear loose boxers then don''t even think about the fact that youre trying and enjoy the process! its like wanting to poo, and then trying to poo. Nothing will come out sometimes. Give it 5 minutes and then your body knows you want to poo and will. Same theory i think with making babies. Good luck polka, we will know what youre doing when youre not here in the evenings!

    Im on facebook, look up vicki wright, got a blue dress on in the pic.

    Vix --- please stop telling yourself that you're 'not intelligent enough'. You are a super person with as much ability as you need for everything that you want to do. You have a great personality too. This awful time will pass, even though it doesn't seem possible at the moment.

    Rant as much as you like but don't put yourself down. Love Granny.

    Bails!! you're on the exercise thread too! I read it but it made me feel VERY tired.
