Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

;T i find brazil nuts seems to hit the same spot as chocolate. worth a go? they have got selenium in them too which is good to get.

hope everyone is well, i've been busy helping OH lay a new floor so we can barely move and are cream crackered. It will be finished tomorrow as we're almost there now. then our holiday can start finally.
i'm struggling through the first few days of a diet - really struggling, all i want at the moment is some chocolate and some of that brownie cake mentioned earlier. but i've resorted to eating some cucumber. much as i love cucumber it's not doing it really.

LT don't deprive yourself, what about doing the special K diet? (I get Aldi's cereal though, as long as it's low fat you can choose any). The low fat chocolate snack bars are good and I'll have them if I fancy a bit of chocolate. I usually find if I totally deprive myself I fall off the wagon big style! Although I have lost 6lbs now, I measured my waist last night and its 34.5 inches which isn't where I want it to be. So far today had 1 bowl special K, low fat yoghurt (fancied a change), Special K bar and some watermelon.

LT if chocolate will hit the spot and that is what your body needs, put it on a plate and sit down and enjoy it!

Thanks for the update on KK Cheri.
Green bin now emptied yay. I don't mind putting stuff in my compost bin but draw the line at the evil mares tails and bindweed. If the Council can cope with them they are welcome!

Yay EH for being busy - but not so busy!

Just back in the cellist was being a precussionist for a night in a nice concert as part of the local festival - very good she was too - all mummies think that don't they!

Hmm, email today from the chop of penguiness (my long long ago ex and the nice person who lent me £2745 (0%) to pay off a nasty CC - he wants his dosh as pronto as possible) - all £2345 of it. Eek - but is understanding about it but does want it asap

slight problem - hmmm - well knew it would happen!

Need get thinking cap on pronto......off to look in cupboards and under the stairs for small change - gotta start somewhere eh?

Booger!

Keiss_21

Oh Pippi...so sorry to hear about that....what a pain he wants it all now!! :eek: Mind you, I suppose we are all finding times tough these days...but doesn't he realize you can't possibly do it all in one go?!!!

Good luck with finding ways to pay him...I'm sure you can work it out...somehow. (You know we are happy to pay for our stay with you next month ).

Right, off to get some sewing done..hope you can relax this evening, well, just a tiny bit .

Night, night x.

VL thank you - dunno how to pull this one off

Keiss - he's cool about as soon as - but sooner rather than later iyswim.

Thinking cap on - I've been in denial about this for a long time, need to get sorted then I really will be almost debt free

Enjoy the sewing - I'm collapsed on sofa wiht laptop - might go out later for a walk at brogar it being the longest day and all that.
