Been pretty good today, eating wise. Had a good hour's dog walk and about 3.5 hours gardening. Tired now.

DS2 has picked up on a joke DS1 told us the other day which he repeated to me earlier...
'Where do cows go (to watch films)'? 'To the moooovies'!
Hehe

Laters

Better go see how the kittens OH brought home earlier are getting on! :doh:Chops is DYING to get at them........! :wall:

Sunnyday

Morning peeps :wave:

lovely and sunny this morning - bit blustery so i deal for drying the washing, thats why mine is on the line.

Woke up early despite going to bed late so thought i`d crack on with the bits and bobs. Got a few errands to run today so will be out for a few hours and then back to the grind. Should have everything finished by tea time all being well so i can go back to work tomorrow with a clean house

Breakfast today will be a protein shake, dinner will be tuna or sardines on toast and tea will be chilli and cauli rice. I`m wondering whether to make the doner spiced meatloaf recipe with the minced beef anyway *scratches chin* think i shall see how much is left when i`ve made the chilli.

Hannoja - Love the name chops is that a nickname or the real deal? Kittens are soooooo sweet too.

Right off to chop the veg. Happy days peeps.

But think how much more funny I'd be. I'm looking forward to it. :rotfl:And what's best about it is....I'm gonna think it's everyone else that has the problem. :rotfl:

Going to ignore Sunny today, I'm so tired now it's all I can do to get out of bed. I'm going to pretend I can't see what she's doing.

I went to bed before 9pm last night, the joiner beng here is killing me. (And not for any good reason ). I knocked out the understairs cupboard and pulled all the plasterboard off so he can try to fix the squeaks etc from underneath. I've lifted floorboards and moved cupboards full of stuff and done several trips the the dump with all the old plasterboard and wood etc. I'm absolutely knackered. Normally I'll do a wee bit then come on here...then do a wee bit then come on here.....:D At the moment I'm working like a dog from around 8.30ish till 5 (mostly).

Today I need to break down daughter's built in wardrobes and take them to the dump so he can attack the floor. I'm finding it weird paying him to do stuff I can do perfectly well myself but at least it's getting done now, I got fed up of DIY a while ago so struggle to maintain motivation.

Can't wait for Sat now tbh, I'm going to be sat in that house in the field just watching the rabbits roam (with a bit of corn between my teeth of course.):D

My weight is a bigger problem again now, it's all gone back on I'm afraid. Even although I'm doing a lot of physical stuff, I'm still more tired than I would be if I'd not put it back on. I'm also snoring loudly all the time now. I woke myself up the other night, I actually heard this loud noise and thought it was OH....only it wasn't, he'd had enough ages before and had gone off to the couch.

I know I need to tackle it again soon but I've got so much on my plate I really dont think I can sort anything else out.

Oh well, cheery thoughts for the day over. :rotfl: Hope you all have a stress free and productive day whatever you're doing.

Morning peeps.

Right first of all, SD, why on earth do you need to be dieting? when you're not in work you're non stop, i dont understand it :think:

Alias, fgs, stop pulling the house to bits woman, get a book, lie back, read it...relax
Seriously, where/how did you learn to be so good at diy? i mean, i'm quite handy with a hammer and a drill for a woman, but door frames and hanging doors.. Jeez.

I have lost a lb, without trying even, so shows how much i could acheive if i cut out the junk, also proves it's about moving more (i'm like SD in work.. non stop) not necessarily eating less, cant believe it after all the choc i've been eating
I have been forced to go too long without eating tho, 6-7 hrs between meals is just too long, and i'm so starving, i want choclate after my meal and when i go home.

So the plan is to have a jkt potato instead of chips lunchtime, take a handful of nuts for in-between and wait til i get home for a small choccy bar treat after my healthy seeded sarnie

Thats just the plan mind, whether i stick to it when i get to the canteen and see the hot steaming curries/lasagne/battered fish is another thing when i'm knackered and starving.

At least i hardly drink anymore

I've always been with flipping useless men. I don't know how I end up with blokes like that, they're not even overly blessed in other ways either iyswim. :rotfl:

I was always too poor to pay tradesmen so I had no choice but to learn myself. I used to get a power tool for my birthday or christmas. I have a shed full of good stuff. In fact the joiner is using my table saw right now, lol. I'm trying very hard to let him get on with it without supervising him. :rotfl:

I've just exploded (quietly through gritted teeth so the joiner didn't hear, lol) at my eldest and my youngest. They just don't 'get' the situation and are sitting sorting out cd's and jewellery. I'm trying to move furniture !!!!!! and dont have all day to do it! I've come downstairs to calm down otherwise the wardrobes will be getting heaved off the wall and thrown out the window in temper, quickly followed by son and daughter!

/rant off.....slightly calmer now.

Sorry all. One day soon I will only talk about food related stuff, honest!

:eek: i`ll stop - honest

Just got back in from the shops, spent a fortune
Lots of offers on at the pet food store so i filled my little car to the rafters and i`ve just put it all away, lugging big sacks of dogfood and cases of catfood should have burned lots of energy, i didn`t have a pound for the trolley and they don`t accept credit cards so i had several trips from the shop to the car :rotfl:

Went in the opticians and asked them to check when i last bought some specs and it turned out it was long enough ago to be able to have some more and i can claim it back on my healthcare plan, got 2 for one so getting some new sunglasses too, got offers in boots and in fact everything that i bought today was on offer so i`ve saved tons :j

Got overcharged in 2 shops :eek: managed to hold the queue up in both whilst they sorted it out though :rotfl:

Just tried to bribe next door but ones ariel installer to do a cash in hand job and failed miserably he said his schedule was too tight:( i`ll keep trying though when i see another one by the time i`ve bought the drills etc it will be an expensive job so need to find someone cheap

The chilli is partly made, the mince is in the fridge stood in water so that it sets and the fat can be scraped off, seems very strange doing this now:D cos when i was lcing i didn`t bother.
Was naughty last night though as i took advantage of not having to get up early even though i did and had half a bottle of wine, a few voddies and some nuts got weighed this morning as have STS so thats good news at least.

I`ve not put any weight on at all despite the lc to SW switch :j hope the numbers on the scales just go down now. Feel a lot better too as i seem to have more energy.

I shall have my tuna on toast now and the hop off down the garden before it rains and then i can finish the jobs in here and iron the dreaded work clothes for tomorrow.
