    I second that!! Well done hun! I'm trying but failing! Especially as I just made HM pancakes as I had a craving for something sweet :o but it is the time of the month so that's my excuse!

    Flutterby I know just what you mean, i always want to stuff my face with sweet things at that time, even though I know it would be a far better idea to eat Low GI things to help keep the blood sugar level and avoid screaming like a harpy at everyone :o

    Candygirl Very well done on the weight loss! I'm trying to cut down portion sizes atm, as at least that'll be a start :) We tried to eat healthily while we were away (in New Zealand for nearly 7 weeks) but it was a lot more difficult than we'd hoped. For instance, you'd order an innocent-sounding chicken sandwich and it would arrive with bacon and cheese in it. Steak sandwiches often had cheese on top as well so we had to check in advance!

    Taplady and DH - Happy Aniversary!:beer:

    bargainbird - Your poor FIL! I hope he starts to feel less sore tomorrow. And of course, you older you are when you fall, the more it shakes you up.

    mioliere - Hope DH got the hall floor done! Is it concrete under the tiles, or stone?

    csarina - Ah, so they're cushion covers! I wondered what the loops were for but I know now.
    While we were in NZ we stopped in a little town for lunch and went into a shop selling handcrafted things, made by a group of local ladies. There were some quilted things which were really pretty, but i couldn't for the life of me work out what they were. They each had a loop at one corner but were much too big to be pot-holders. In the end I decided they were probably traycloths! Somehow I didn't like to ask. We did buy a very pretty patchwork cushion though, to put behind my head in the car. Somehow Dh managed to squeeze it into the case to bring it home :D

    Church this morning, then a couple of loads of washing this afternoon (again.) Tea/dinner was going to be JO's chicken tikka masala, but then I realised I'd used up the last tine of coconut milk, so I think Mr Sharwood is going to have to come to the rescue with a jar of balti sauce!

    Hope everyone has a good evening.

    Well done, Candygirl! That's great going. :) We've just looked through some old photos and I'm feeling the need to do a little dieting myself. If only there weren't a bar of chocolate on the side here...

    It's not been a bad day today. I'm feeling a bit better and hopefully will be fine for work tomorrow - good night's sleep pending. I've been sorting a few bits and pieces in the kitchen, and I've made a list of stuff to get done this week. That'll help. :) Night, all!

  • Evening everyone

    Aaaaaaaaaaaargh I just typed a really long post and lost it :mad:

    Happy birthday Julies dad

    Stroppyjock...How awful - my DH used to work at a shopping centre and he lost count of how many killed themselves by jumping off of the top car park and as you say it is those who have to clean up that have to cope with the aftermath :(

    Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs taplady on 22 years :happyhear

    bargainbird what on earth was 80 year old FIL doing on the back of a lorry:eek:

    Jackieglasgow ...poor little coco has been through the wars bless her x

    Diva I hope that all is well with Tris x

    Well DH has started on the dining room now and I have been busy washing for England as usual, but at least I managed to get most of it dry on the line.

    Weather for tomorrow looks like lots and lots of rain and sleet is forecast for wednesday.But poor old you in the North are set for snow:snow_grin
    Never cast a clout till May is out is a true old saying:(

    Dinner was roast pork with rice pud for dessert and I have enough rice left for tomorrow as well :)

    Anyway I am off for my shower and an early night - it is surprising how that hour can affect you

    ((((((((Hugs))))))))) to all that need them and keep warm all x
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
