    Hahaha.....omg.....all that cake! LOL.

    Unfortunately I dont really like birthday cake (yes I know) unless you count the icing on the top of it! :rotfl:

    It's virtual cake, it can taste of anything you want - ice cream, chocolate, strawbugs, icing, anything! ;)

    B - nectarine. Still struggling to use up the fruit, I'll buy less in future
    D - salad with hb egg. Satsuma
    T - 3 crackerbread as yesterday
    S - celery, carrot batons, apple
    E - upstairs vac'ed, wiped, dusted. Bathroom done. 1x10 mins done, 2 more planned

    Have a sunny day :)

    Well, I still have managed not to have anything to eat! :eek: instead I started a food blog...apparently writing about food stopped me wanting to eat it :rotfl:

    Still starving though and not at all sure what I fancy :( I have loads of strawberries so I should be good and eat them, or at least make a smoothie or something. But I don't fancy it....but I don't know what I do want! Stupid. My tummy is really growling with hunger though. Silly me!

    Add half a RTC garlic flatbread to tonight's dinner: not fantastically healthy, but very :drool:.

    Ha ha theatregirl...I think you're up to 46 candles now :rotfl:

    I bit the bullet today and did the job I've been putting off for ages...I cleaned out my shed!
    It's a proper built shed, not a wooden one, and it was disgusting...I leave the window open for the tumble drier hose, and the ivy had grown inside...and it was dusty, and cobwebby, and everything was covered in a black sticky stuff which was a little bug which had been on the ivy and then died...yuck!

    So 4 hours later, I have a huge bag of rubbish for the bin, and about a million flower pots to give away...and lots more room. I'll wash the shelves tomorrow and rearrange everything...and I'm never letting it get so bad again!

    Food was a bit of an afterthought today

    B: berry granola, ss milk
    L: third of a tin of beans, 2 slices wm toast
    D: not really hungry, so lf yoghurt, cereal bar
    (did DS the fry/grill he missed last night, he didn't get home from work until 11.30 pm!)

    Trying really hard to not eat rubbish...if I don't lose anything this week you may see the first virtual tantrum on this thread :rotfl:


    If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?

    Just as well that I logged on when I did !!!!

    Otherwise I would have been too late to wish Theatregirl a very happy birthday..

    :bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake:

    It's not the same if you are a day late...

    I hope you had a great day :beer:
  • I dont even want to think about how many candles I'm up to now :rotfl:

    Wow, what a day....dont exactly feel like I've had a birthday, been so much else going on.

    First things first, after I posted this morning, our little Oreo decided he was going to be a bit poorly like our Milka was about, oh, a month ago. So he was being all miserable in his hutch and wasnt eating. Seems like he had a tummyache or a furball or something.

    So I did no more, I took out one of the pots of pineapple in juice that I regularly eat, got some of the juice in a little syringe and made him take that orally - he was not impressed. Also, very naughtily, I gave him like 0.1 of a painkiller that we had for Milka. The pineapple used to work for one of our other rabbits and lets face it a painkiller is a painkiller whether you're human or animal.
    Well after giving him a few syringes full of plain water as well, in 3 hours or so he bucked up a bit and went back to munching as normal. We think it was the furball he had, as his poops are all strung together like Christmas baubles (the fur getting stuck to the poop, lol)

    Anyhoo :o

    Like you ellie, I had a clean out today as well! Only this time it was my wardrobe, there are bits in there I never fricking wear as the collars or neckline are too high for me, and I have way too many pairs of jeans! So I threw out about 6-8 tops, and there's a pile of about 5 pairs of jeans; 3 pairs are too loose :eek: and 2 pairs dont quite do up. Also found a pair of 3/4 length ones that are too long (!) so DM's going to shorten them for me in due course.

    Found some really lovely pieces in there though, and some shoes I had forgotten about! So I am going to make an effort to wear more nice things I seem to be shoving to the back of the cupboard rather than wearing the same ol' tops day in and day out then washing and wearing again! :rotfl: In fact I wore a yellow strappy top out tonight with some whitey-yellow colour shoes and a pair of 3/4 jeans, just because I could!

    Right so lets see....food today, breakfast was 2 turkey slices with half a large sub roll with butter. Skipped lunch because of all the kerfuffle going on with Oreo and then started cleaning and lost track of time!! Snacked on a few pringles and some biscuits about 2pm.
    Dinner aka meal out almost went to pot though! We got to the resto about 8pm and went straight to the table, were waited on initally by this guy who turned out to be the supervising manager for the night.
    Well we ordered our drinks right away, got them at 8.15pm (15 minutes later) then ordered our food....and the food didnt come out of the kitchen until 8.55pm! :eek: So the supervising manager comes over to us when we get the food, apologises like crazy....and then offered us FREE DESSERTS!!! :rotfl:

    So what did we do....we ordered the most expensive things on the menu!!! My friend (who is quite a big bloke for his age) ordered one of the sharer desserts to himself because lets face it...it was free....and you know what....he finished it!!! :rotfl:

    Anyway I tried to be a little bit conscious, and ordered this Tilapia fish....very similar to cod, but without the breading in a lemon and herb dressing....then chips, mushy peas, broccoli and cherry tomatoes :D And for dessert I had profitoroles...but I had to leave one and a fair bit of ice cream because the 1.5 bottles of cider I had were making my tummy bloat like crazy! :rotfl:

    Anyway......thank you all very much for the well wishes....but I've had enough food for one day...LOL! :A
