Good morning everyone,

((HUGS)) to all those feeling poorly, and :hello: to all the newbies xxx

Really bad nights sleep last night, had trouble getting to sleep (nothing new there) then DD came in and was restless all night, feeling it this morning, which is unusual, but i think all the bad nights are catching up with me. Never mind, 2 little ones here today, so they will keep me going!!!
Going to clean the kitchen floor today (including under the table, the bit i hate doing!!!) but im doing so well with keeping up with moggins flylady, im wanting to keep following it.
Have a friend coming around for dinner tonight, so have taken the lasagne that i made last week out of the freezer, and will do it with HM potato wedges and veg. Also have some blackish bananas to use up, so pud will be banana cake.
Right, better get moving, dont feel like it tho!!!
Have a lovely day everyone,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope you don't mind me popping in again, but need to share that my cousin's just had a baby girl!

Message from my uncle and aunt, who are over the moon. They have 2 daughters, and 3 grandsons, and 2 step-grandsons. My aunt especially, loves all the *girlie* things.

Good morning. Thankyou to everyone for a warm welcome yesterday.

I hope everyone that's feeling poorly feels better soon.

It's tipping it down with rain here, so I know the journey to work is going to be a nightmare, but if it's still raining at lunchtime it'll stop me from going to the shop to buy things that I really don't need.
The boyfriend is cooking dinner tonight so hopefully that will be on the table when I get in. No idea what we'll be having. Then tonight I'm going to attempt to tackle sorting out some moe of the junk that has collected in the hallway and under the stairs. I think we need some sort of shoe rack, as there are far too many pairs of boots and shoes under there, plus a lot of things that really need to find a home.

Anyway off to work for me, I've been late due to traffic for the last couple of days, so must try harder.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning (((((hugs))))) to those in need.

Well, the healthy eating plan is going well although its a bit of a pain having to adapt meals to suit OH - he doesn't like anything thats good for him :rotfl: I have a set of kitchen scales so I can keep a check on my portion sizes, and bathroom scales arriving today to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Plans for me today include leaving for w*** at some point :rolleyes: and then I want to tackle the ironing when I get home and maybe hoover through if I have time.

B - Toast
L - Fruit, Crackers & Brie
D - New Potatoes, Fish & Veg (steak pie for OH :drool:)

Have a good daye everyone xxx

Spent some time last week cooking for the freezer so have Veg Sausage Casserole for dinner tonight

Only other job is to get some fruit and veg to last me till the weekend so Lidl on the way into w**k I think.

Have a good day everyone and hugs to all who need them.

All the best

Morning all!

Full of a cold today so I just want to go to bed and crawl under the duvet again!!!

But, another coffee will have to do, I have clients today, some parcels to send for ebay and at least a quick hoover round and shine that sink!!!

I haven't done my meal planning this week and it has thrown me somewhat so I really ought to do one for the remainder of the week.

Well done Amie on the weightloss and I hope everyone else has a happy, healthier day!

Morning everyone :hello:

Bad luck on the business trip N9eav. Mrs mix hope you start to feel better soon. dlb hope you asked for the top to be returned. I wouldn't let someone get a free top after such comments. amie well done on the weight loss. I have been trying to do some exercise and just eat healthier. I have lost 2lbs this week. Just hope I can keep it up.

taplady is your son's bedroom in total darkness when he goes to bed? I have blackout linings on my bedroom curtains but they aren't enough to completely block out the streetlight that is right outside my bedroom. I've found that if I sleep with a sleep mask on I get a much better nights sleep. I hope he manages to get back on track soon, poor soul.

W**k today but I have leftover curry for dinner tonight so I don't have much to do for dinner tonight. I have also taken the cooked turkey out of the freezer for dinner tomorrow night. I can't remember when I have been so organised! DS and DD both worked on cleaning up their bedrooms yesterday so I think we will try some more clearing out today.

Have a great day everyone. x

Yes its very dark inthere. He says his body is so tired but he cant switch his mind off to get to sleep, and of course its like a vicious circle because he worries about it!Have tried relaxation tapes and no caffeine after tea but no luck! if anyone has any other ideas I'd be most grateful!

Penny-Pincher!!

Only a quickie!

Havent had a great night again but have a hospital appointment at 8.30 then OH is taking me to the pics to see Apocolypto (sp?)...really looking forward to it.

DD is going up london to see The Lion King this afternoon, so have packed her off with popcorn, sarnies, fruit, yogurt and cheese and biscuits..thats what she wanted theres 3 of them sharing food and they wanted to be posh and grown up and apparently having cheese and biscuits..means your posh:D :rolleyes: ...kids!!!!!

Morning all:hello:
Hugs to those in need and welcome to anyone new

Nice quiet day today. Laundry as usual, a bit of baking - going to make choc chip buns (variation on eggless choc buns which I tried without cocoa and with the addition of sultanas last week with great sucess - although egg-allergic dd decided she only liked sultanas 'out of cakes' :rolleyes: ). Must also cook the bag of chickpeas I have soaking.

Breakfast for kids - beans on toast
Breakfast for me (when I get back from school) - fruit salad
Lunch for kids - cheese/smoked salmon sandwiches, sultana bun/crackers, 2 pieces of fruit
Lunch for me- leftover 'leftovers' soup, an apple if still hungry
Supper - chili con carne (with sweetcorn in), pitta bread, carrot sticks
yogurt and grapes for kids

Feeling very pleased with self re diet. Haven't eaten between meals for the last 2 days and kept to my points allowance without any hardship. Also haven't had an alcoholic drink for the last 2 days That sounds like I have a problem :eek: We've just got into the habit of opening a bottle of wine every night instead of just Fri, Sat and Sun which is our rule. Too many bottles around at Christmas. I'm not getting any more wine till Friday.

Am going camping with OH and kids in August for the first time (I usually stay at home) and I am determined to be at least 3 stone lighter.

Challenge for today is Not to eat the choc chip buns
