Hmm, i'll let you off then. OH did bangers and mash and beans tonight but didnt cook the spuds enough so it was lumpy, I tried sieving it and pushing the lumps through but it was proper effort!

I am tempted to try the low carb diet MFD is doing, are you doing that as well now?

Not as such, I'm just trying to drink heaps of water and not eat totally processed refined carbs. No bread/rice/tatties. I've ditched the pulses too, as it's best to be a low carb as possible. I'd say under 50g of carbs is preferable for maximum loss, but I know with the like of atkins its under 20g of carb for the first 2 weeks or so. You'll get michty sick of poached eggs :rotfl::rotfl: 0 carbs


Also EWWW at lumpy hard bits of a mash. Mash is supposed to be smooth and luxurious!

I love poached eggs! But they go with toast, and bacon goes in a sandwich, etc etc, it'd be so weird to me!

Last year I told Aimee she couldn't have anything for christmas if it was shown on the TV lol... This year she has spent many hours pouring over the Argos book letting me know what she'd like...

Yesterday I asked Hubby to get my purse out of the changing bag... It wasn't there... No biggie, my little chimp likes to empty things out of the bag but things are never far... We looked around last night but couldn't find it, then Hubby shredded the place this morning and couldn't find it... So we started looking again before we went out and asked Aimee to help because we couldn't go if we couldn't find it... Lo and behold, she found it within seconds and claimed it had just been on the stairs... I knew it hadn't been because I'd just walked Caitlyn down them so she admited that she had hidden it on the landing...

Then I noticed the whole 90p that had been in there was missing :eek: She admitted to taking it because she only had 1p and 2p's and no 50p's... I'm a bit gobsmacked... I thought it would be a couple more years before she started rifling my bag!

When I did atkins, I was really upset about my missing bread :rotfl: The eggs were supposed to be on toast and the bacon and sausages would of tasted better between bread. I was like :eek: and then I gave up after two weeks as the smell of toast in the morning for Keira's brekkie was killing me. I'm so weak willed with grub!

It's worse if you are cooking things you can't eat for others too. If I made a curry, I'd have mine with "cauliflower" rice. It's really NOT the same

I'm gonna be having a clearout tomorrow, is anybody in need of any boys clothes in sizes 6-18 months? And anything in particular? Do let me know and I'll be sure to keep them to one side and not dump them in the charity bag

:wave:

Andrew's just progressed into 3-6m clothing. Is any of your stuff what you'd class as "winter" weight? He'll be 6-9m (hopefully) when the cold weather really hits (and maybe even 9-12m by the end of winter), so I'd be interested in any coats etc. PM me if you've got anything like that! Ta muchly.

Katie like glitter as soon as she spotted it was hers and she wasn't letting it go.

I'll have a dig through, I think most of his winter stuff was 9-12 though. There might be some hoodies/jumpers in 9-12 that he outgrew quickly and may therefore be smaller sized IYSWIM?
I've got two bin bags of stuff in his room that he's outgrown and I've stuffed to one side in the bag "to sort later", and if we end up moving sooner rather than later I need to start getting a bit more organised :eek: its all going to go tomorrow, some stuff I'm sorting out for a friend at work and the rest is going in the charity dumpster, but I'd rather fairy it to people I know TBH!
