    Come dine with me is my fave program Jo!

    DB

    OH keeps trying to persuade me to go on it :o:o
    No Mr T's round here at home, bought some 1000mg today and will take 3 daily and then find another stockist to get a big tub from.

    Bells rang this afternoon and I felt very low and sad and tearful for some reason (ex OH reason). Now I'm tucked up at home for the night with plenty of fizzy pomegrante pop/water to cheer me up later when I make fishcakes for tea.

    Will pop back on tonight while watching Let's Dance for Sport Relief which cheers me up along with Total Wipeout


    did ya see me? huh? huh? Have to watch it myself to see if I can see myself.....

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D
  • I'm watching Confessions of a Shopaholic - enjoying it with 2 creme eggs and a cuppa

    Signing off for tonight
    Back tomorrow
    Watched that the other week FUAS, good light-hearted film. Thought the guy who played Luke 'fluke' was like a younger Colin Firth.

    Jo CDWM was it the one with the wine buff and the domestic goddess who used cheats for garlic butter and pasta sauces ? Very Funny.

    Although I have no target I'm on 6, and sleeping for a solid 9 hours.
    Happy Sunday.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Morning all

    3 for me please Shaggy, though I don't feel as though I had a MAD night, feel like utter carp today *confused*

    115K, hope you feel better later, have you had your iron count done recently?

    DC, CDWM was the one with the drag artist, very good :D

    DB, I hope your son realises what a worry he caused last time and knows the ground rules for going out this time. Hugs to you, I wonder if this stage of worrying about our kids every move will ever end! xx

    Hollie, so are you going to try and abstain now? ;)

    Lurks, didn't watch the dance thingamy, was it good? So......what would be your 2 dishes to present to the (dishy) John & (not dishy, but make sure you feed him a pud) Gregg?

    Got quite a full on day today and not best pleased. OH's work partner invited our DS and DD2 to his sons birthday party today, which is lovely and they are very excited. Didn't know that OH and his work partner would be going out last night, have no idea when he got in but he was fully dressed on the couch this morning at 8.30am and says there is no way he could go cos he feels so ill. I hope his colleague turns up for his sons birthday party today!! So I've gotta sit for 2 hours in Mcd's about 15 miles away with a load of people I don't know :mad:

    ^ Jo - I have an appointment with my doc this Tuesday so I'm going to ask for a blood test again to see if my liver and everything is alright.

    I think I'm going to try and have a largely MAD March from now on.;)
