Single and in Debt Part II

Lula-Hula

Hello all,

thanks for support eco & yes I miss TDQ as well

Well done on day 2 - glad to see there were just minor treats today

I had the usual water & lemon all day & 1 cup of coffee this morning, a banana, a veggie cup a soup with croutons :shhh: a few handfuls of nuts, chicken salad & a small dish of greek yoghurt with 1/2 a tsp of honey . Not the best day really but more importantly I havent done any exercise other than a quick walk to local shops so tomorrow I plan to get on my bike :eek: & ride up to the allotment :eek: :eek: .

Struggling with the nibbly cravings in the evening :rolleyes: .

Hmmm maybe if we all lose some weight TDQ will come back he's probably fed up with us all whingeing about it & not actually losing any :rotfl:

Grrrr! As if being single wasn't bad enough, we are actually scaring men away:mad: We must get this weight loss done asap and never mention it again.

Good plan

Have you ever watched the supersize vs superskinny programme perchance ?

I am now concerned that by eating all the right foods that I love I will gain another few stone as per the lovely lady tonight. Thank goodness my friend who was a fab cook has now moved to cornwall out of my reach :rolleyes: Thank goodness that buying new cookbooks is as far as I go in the kitchen ... imagine the size of me if I could cook delicious food, there wasnt a single meal she made tonigh that I didnt like the look of

Hmm, I often wish I could cook, I am terrible and have no interest in it, I do think that has something to do with my weight, I can't be bothered to cook something sensible and end up putting calorific ready meals in the microwave. I do think if I was a good cook I would take more interest in nutrition. I still intend to have a full set of Le Crueset pots and pans, but they will have to be for show.

With my lack of cooking skills, refusal to iron and housework skills so poor I have to motivate myself with public a tick list, I fear I am going to make someone a terrible wife.:o

Aha, but you are terribly witty & very fabulous so that I think is more than any man could wish for .

I do like to have a clean kitchen & bathroom & have no fear of the iron but also have no fear of dust or piles of anything including logs in the bedroom :rolleyes:

I have always maintained that I am far more suited to being a rich man's mistress rather than wife ( no doubt she will be relieved to hear that to once I locate & ensnare him )

I was never a fan of le creuset when everything was orange or grey but now that turquoise has been added to the spectrum I have been quite tempted.

No more ready meals for you just bags & bags of ready salads instead. I do like creating them, they're very pretty & require minimal washing up too

I don't even notice dust, much less fear it.;)

Am definitely after wife status, but rich is the thing:D

You forgot pink and purple. Was never interested in orange or grey, far too practical.:cool:

Salad goes black and goes off if there is only one of you. It's like it just knows and wants to rub it in.:mad: Even salad mocks my single status.

I didnt know about the pink & purple, will now have to rethink my aversion to cooking.

I dont mind being a wife one day, just not until DD has left home... I can only deal with one person other than myself in the morning

You need to buy smaller bags of salad, I had a case of the squishy blackness - most unpleasant

The co op do bags that are just right for one person for two or three meals; I usually buy one of the sweet/crunchy variety & one of the spinach/rocket variety & mix them together along with carrot, tomatoes, sweetcorn & ham,chicken or cheese. They must be coated with dressing or mayonnaise to make them easily consumable & more yummy :rolleyes: Always eat it from a pasta bowl too - feels far more exotic that way

I am allowed mayonaisse and lots of cheese so I will give it a go, plus have a pastas dish which has never been used due to the fact that I bought it because it was pretty but I don't eat much pasta, I finally have a use for it:D

Day 3 tomorrow, good luck Lula and Shoe Gal, night night x

Hi Everybody :hello:

Missed all the chat last night, had an earlyish night - Lula and Sarah you really make be laugh - and sum up my thoughts so well, especailly the bit about salad mocking our single status :rotfl:

Today I have had cereal and yougurt for brekkie, a tuna salad sandwich for lunch and just made nachos for dinner - whoops! And still no exercise - unless watching the footie tonight counts!

Got paid yesterday, my budget is really tight for April as I am going on holiday at the beginning of May and need to save some cash. Maybe buying less food is the answer :rolleyes:

Hello Ladies and any gents out there??

I'm back! I;ve been catching up on all that i've missed and am getting used to the new home!

Most impressed at everyones diet achievements. I'm failing fast which is a real shame as I was pretty good on holiday. My friend I was with is very healthy and we ate lots but all really good stuff and not much ice-cream and no choc at all!! I have ruined it all very quickly indeed.

I went to the Ideal Home Exhibition last night (free ticket from here) and got a free goody bag including a packet of Mars Planets (now all eaten) and so far today have have a white kinder bueno and a creme egg...... I need to get back in the 'no choc' zone asap but so hard with Easter waving at us.

I managed to sell my first book on Amazon last night and it was a good one too! I sold it for £15 and after fees I got £13.91 and then spent £1.08 on postage so a pretty good result. This is made even better as it was a boring book on Customer Service which I got for free on a course I went on through work!!!

Well hope you all have a lovely evening

ps Sarah, you mentioned Hotel Chocolat some way back and it was me who has the addiction and made the recommendation.....soooo good! :cool:
