    weezl - stop changing your meal planner. I'm trying to make a shopping list for the weekend and keep having to radically alter it! :P

    (FWIW, I did a few starjumps the week before Finn was born...wonder if that's why he was a day early? ;))

    sorry sweetie :o I still have the other ones all saved, which one was it you were after?:)

    Arty, yep fergie mostly happened in a large borrowed paddling pool, with comedic effect cartoon octopus's on the walls! This time a lovely MSEer is lending me her pool, so all I have to do is pay courier delivery :money::money:so that will be fab :)

    The water was helpful, warm and relaxing. As you say, as much as these things can be! Aless you were in the water too right? at MLU? xxx

    :j I'm so so happy that you have figured it out and that this can continue! I have only just caught up on this thread since this morning and at one point my heart was in my mouth when you were all pondering the future of the plan. I LOVE this thread and am learning so much, long let it continue :beer:

    Hmmmm... I write a post, go to preview it to see if I'm in any way coherent... and you've had an eureka moment! :p

    Ermmmm rapidly changed post = menu looks very nomnomnom and frugalitious! :T Woo hoo! :j:j:j:j

    I love this thread. Its got me really interested in the process of setting up a balanced meal plan. That's something I've been too scared to try to do for myself for a long time (mainly, and somewhat ironically, over the nutritional enormity of it :o :rotfl:). It has made me want to try and do things that a year or 2 ago (due to an ED) I would have run away screaming from. This thread as it stands has already helped me and I am so thankful for it. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! :T:T:T:T
