stressedoutmumof1 - 4 cups of coffee? I though i was bad finishing my second cup by 9.30am. You will be completely hyperactive by lunchtime if you keep this up!
Feeling a bit ill and pathetic today. However as I am woman I have come to work anyway and will soldier on!
B - museli
L - toast and sardines
D - trout (which I have forgotten to take out of freezer) baked with almonds, potatoes and veg
Got my first 4 items selling on ebay at moment I am pretty excited about it - trying to resist checking on their status nmore than once every hour (its going to be a kong 10 days for me!).

Well good morning everybody :hello: :j

I went out for a drink (well, OK, three ) with XBF after work yesterday at the Market Porter, which is a lovely real ale pub near where I work. When I got home I did a Thai curry with leftover chicken, reduced (dented) tin of coconut milk, and a curry pack from Lidl - and left the kitchen looking like a bomb site When I went back into the kitchen to tidy and do the washing up it was FREEZING, so I put the heating on and snuggled up in bed to keep warm. You guessed it, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until this morning

BUT on the plus side, this meant I was asleep well before 11pm and was up bright and early with my alarm clock this morning! Before leaving for work at 8am I'd done all the washing up, strained the batch of stock that had been sitting in the SC, had a cuppa and taken things out of the freezer for later, and had a good, long, invigorating shower

Off to the opera later with GBF, we have £6 standing-room tickets for Mozart's "Il re pastore" (The Shepherd King). Then undoubtedly we will go for a swift one in the pub. After that, I am going to spend the next 2-3 days on the wagon except for Communion wine on Thursday; the amount of alcohol I've put away over the last couple of weeks is absolutely obscene, and I swear my liver is starting to ache (I keep an alcohol unit consumption diary in the Excel workbook where I also keep my spending diary, to keep myself in check).

Breakfast: blueberry muffin
Lunch: mushroom risotto
Dinner: chicken pasta bake

RacyRed - Ooooooh Newwww Chooooos!!!!! I've not been too tempted yet myself, though there have been a couple of occasions when I've almost spent £200 or so at Patrick Cox! I'm more of a "top-end-high-street-£100-shoes-reduced-to-£50-in-the-sale" sort of girl myself

To all worried about dental bills - if you're on the NHS the new pricing structure means there are now only three flat fees. If all you need is a checkup I think it's £15.50. If you need ANY general work - fillings, even root canal - then the course of treatment including the checkup costs £42.50 no matter how many you need (of course this puts you out of pocket if you just need one or two fillings, but could save a packet if there's a lot of work to be done, as Moggins's DH just found out!). The other price band I can't remember, but it's getting on for £200 and is for work which includes the big stuff like crowns and bridges.

Pooky - WOW!!!! It must be lovely to have relatives who can afford to treat you like that! I'm ever so jealous!

Michelle - PM me if you have any free time over the weekend! I'll be spending most of Sunday afternoon at a loose end in Central London so if you and DH fancied meeting me for a quick coffee you know where I am

LearningToSave - congrats to your littlie on her first steps!

Gotta go now, work to do.

Bargain Rzl I know what XBFstands for but who are you going to the opera with - GBF - does this stand for Gorgeous Boy Friend .........Do tell........:blushing:

GBF = gay best friend

Every girl's essential accessory!

:rotfl:I never thought of that. I thought I must have missed something.
Enjoy your night out. Pooky - Wow!! that's sounds fab. Chaz I would just try and act normal as possible. Good Luck.

Morning all!

just a quickie for now as I'm off for coffee at the WI with mum again(yummy cakes!;) )

Queenie I like the sound of walnut bread, I have to admit I havent done any experimenting with my BM , just normal loaves.I'll check out the recipe thread later and see what I can produce!

miserable day here especially after yesterday which was gorgeous.
Am also making HM chicken and mush pies later, one for tea and several for the freezer!

Catch you all later !:wave:

I think the abbreviation GBF was a lot more widely used five or so years ago when a lot of the popular TV shows had main female characters with gay male buddies, like Will and Grace, and Sex and the City.

My GBF is great. We met when he was first in the UK in 2001, and he was temping in my department. Now we work together (on separate sites), go to the opera together, have been on holiday together, and sing together (literally, as we both sing alto ) My mum loves him and refuses to believe that he is gay cos she basically wants me to marry him :rotfl:

And he is very popular as a GBF - all his close friends are female . But he's from Sydney and at some point (probably end of this year) he's finally going to have to go home, cos his dad wants to train him up to take over their family business

Good Morning all :wave:

Late post for me today. Been up ages so, you know when your having one of those morning when you just cant seem to get anything done and then wonder where the time has gone? Thats me today. It doesnt help that DS2 has an runny bum (i can already here the cries of 'too much information' ), lost count of how many nappies had to change. DS1 has gone to the church hall for his holiday club. Washing is on, pots washed and put away and thats all i have got done.

B - toast and cereal
L - sarnies for the kids, banana for me
D - egg and chips for kids and hubby, chip butties for me

as you can see not a very healthy day eating wise :eek: . But we all did eat healthily yesterday :A
