    Morning everyone :hello:

    Tis a lovely morning here, got the window open & listening to a bird tweeting away :D

    I love easy dinners, just taking something (HM) ready made out of the freezer & heating up, tis great!! :D Mercy, I think I need to do more make & freeze dinners, your way is the way to go methinks!!

    Bound to agree there :) I quite enjoy cooking so spend an eve or few hrs on sunday making up some food. If you time it right you can have a choice of 3 diff meals in tne freezer so no boredom :j Currently I have broth, curry and casserole to choose from - yipeee!

    I'll be loving & leaving you for a few days from today ;)
    Have sort of decided that I'm going to have a break from low-carb while I'm away :eek: I'm not going to go mad, probably try to be low-gi instead, but I just think it's gonna be too much hassle to continue & tbh I can't be bothered!! :oI don't want to bring attention to my attempt at weight-loss, I hate peeps knowing I'm on a 'diet' so I'll just eat 'normally' but 'carefully' iyswim.
    Can so go for that. Nothing more boring than explaining things all over again when you'd rather talk about more interesting stuff and catch up with folk :rotfl:
    Anyway, gotta go as I have a million & one things to do today. Might pop in later, but if I don't have time, I'll see you on Sunday!! :wave:
    Gonna miss you hunni! :cry::cry::cry: Have a great time!

    Good morning, bit dull here, but have lots of ironing to keep me occupied :rolleyes:

    Enyoy your breaks Gers and Sweet.

    My mouse trap has arrived, bit late tho i reckon as i half fillled the cats bowl with dried food yesterday, she didnt eat any and it's all gone this morning so the mouse has stashed enough food for a month icon9.gif
    Didnt think about removing it icon9.gif

    Am sure i can smell wee in the kitchen too, but i could be imagining things.
    Suggestion is a powerful tool. Your likely looking for it and imagining 'something' not right as you have been invaded and indeed, something's not right. Bet 1 tiny mouse couldn't produce that much tho, not like it's a rampant tom come visiting :D That'd be unmistakeable.
    Well, if it doesn't use this trap, it'll be bloody curtains for mousie as i'll have to get rentokill in.

    The programme makers got a guy to do the Special K diet for 2 weeks. He only had bowl of special K for brekkie and one for lunch, then normal evening meal...like they push on the adverts.

    Poor chap was absolutely ravenous, said he was so hungry, weak, tired, sleepy and v grumpy all day. After all that he only lost 1lb I think, bearing in mind he'd practically starved himself....when asked what he was going to have for brekkie tomorrow he said egg and bacon sarnie (bread no-no buy 'yeah' for the egg & bacon :rotfl:)
    The only people for whom this works are those who are used to starving themselves, are generally high maintenance and feel 2lbs is a fatness that must be removed, especially if it hurts. Glad I'm not like that :rotfl:

    Hello again!

    Waiting for Tesco man to deliver lots of cat food n heavy stuff. Can't get all my monthly order from there as they're generally too expensive on many things. Tesco's do carry my cat food whereas Asda have stopped doing it. And it is nice to have someone bring all the awkward stuff to me at home!

    He's here

    Anyway, today's food
    B - cheese and sausage
    L - HM curry on squashed up cauli
    D - not sure yet. Will be protein and veg one way or another :rotfl:

    Really enjoyed the omlette last night, might do something similar or a pork chop n stuff. Ooh! life's so exciting! :j I love livin on the edge! :rotfl:

    Funnily enough the Tesco order is a bit pants for instant food. Got lots of cat food, cat treats, soda water and bleach, but that's not going to help much for my next meal :rotfl:

    Off to peruse the cupboards!

    Not packing much for the break - enough knickers and a couple of tops. Got my bamboo long sleeved top which I will live in for the week. Bamboo is anti-bacterial and non smelly and extremely warm. Cottage is heated and the outside cold. Am determined to go minimal and not cart around so much stuff.

    Back later - have fun folks.

    Better make sure there's no pandas staying nearby! :rolleyes::rotfl::rolleyes: Could be nekid if they pounce. Even if they pounce slowly and do it by confusing you with their with big cute eyes! :eek:
    Remember seeing something similar (bamboo top) on Mighty Boosh, Looked good on Vince so go for it!

    (sweets reminded me of your post. - ta sweets)

    Actually my mate works for 'sanitized' in switzerland and they make non smelly fabric for clothes. Will look bamboo up on tinternet, see if it's them.

    Have a great time!

    So glad my mouse is amusing you folks :p:p:p

    The cat is actually a mouser, well, used to be, but i always slapped her for bringing them in :o

    I once picked up a pinky coloured 'acorn' and was horrified to find it was a mouses' face with the brain attached, looked just like an acorn.. gross.



    Anyhoo, goodbye from him

    Coz he better be gone by tomorrow ;)
