    Bitsy/Taplady I wouldn't kick Colin Firth or Trevor Eve out of bed:p

    me neither;):D
    Plan for the day is dyeing my hair,

    should do mine really but I forgto to buy any when I was shopping and our small town doesn't sell any decent stuff so you'll just have to put up with my grey bits tomorrow:D

    DH and I are both at home today - had a lazy morning so far. Mum popped round for coffee, not long now till she moves to Devon. Will be strange not having her just up the road, I think she's very brave uprooting herself at her age(69) and moving away but its her dream to see her days out at the seaside so she's off to a complex in Devon near a couple of friends.
    On the plus side I'll get lots of short breaks in Devon:D

    Lunch today is whoopsied rolls(not for me) and leftover butternut squash soup. Veggie stir fry for tea. Lots of fruit as snacks.

    Lost another pound this week so am now back at target weight:j

    Have tidied my food cupboard this morning - would love a big walk in larder but have to make do with 2 small cupboards.

    Got several loads of washing to do and a bit of ironing then later we want to take the dogs for a long walk - at the moment they are racing around the garden like mad things - they seem to love the frosty mornings.

    have a great day all x
    Do what you love :happyhear
  • I should just add... Colin Firth I most certainly would! :D Especially in his Mr Darcy outfit! ;) I am :D:D:D as the postman just dropped two comp prizes and a freebie through my door. :)

    Morning all, my day off today and I don't have to collect DD from school as she's going to her friend's for tea as it's his birthday so I don't need to collect her until 6pm. I already feel a bit lost!! Got the WM on, bedding and as it's kind of sunny here I'll put it on the line for a bit, fresh air smell, lovely :D:D

  • Morning all - a lovely frosty/sunny day here in Birmingham again today.
    Must say it`s making me feel much brighter. I hate the damp dark days that we have had recently.

    So far this morning have been to the gym and done the weekly shop before work.
    Stocked up on a lot of fruit/veg and cereals that were on offer.
    Trying to stick to the new WW plan so treated myself to some blueberries and strawberries.

    Plan to have left over chicken with something for lunch. Was thinking salad but may make a soup or stirfry with it. It`s to cold for salad.
    Got to make up for my sandwich, crisp and cookie lunch at my meeting yesterday.

    Tea - braised steak and onions to be put in the SC at lunchtime.

    Have a good day everyone, whatever your doing.

    feel rather delicate today. have a horrible headache - one of the ones where your head feels like its going to fall off your shoulders if you move :o found some migraine tablets i had from a while back so took a couple of them which seems to be working

    not going to be a lot of os going on. need to make a key lime pie (or attempt to:o) for tomorrow. we over alans nans house for the afternoon/evening. need to get a tin with a removable base first :D:rotfl: will try and brave morrisons if my visit goes quickly, if not will flutter my eyelashes at alan :D figured if i cant get one with removable base then a foil one would work :think: watch this space :rotfl:

    lily - i feel your pain with the in-laws. alan let slip to his mum about tomorrow :eek::rotfl:

    jac - i reckon you should dye your hair a rather extravagant colour for tomorrow ;)
