    Sounds like you've been busy! Well done on your walk. :T:j

    Not so good on the pink washing but good that you got most of it out again. :D

    I was at Harvester tonight, I just tried not to look at the calories on the menu. :o

    I'm not bothered about the temperature I wash my towels on, I'm just bothered about how I dry them. I have to tumble them or I just can't use them :o I can compromise and put them on the line on a nice day until they are dry but then I have to tumble them to make them soft :o:o I can't help it.

    Aww wee Jelly. Little Miss Gap used to "need" the toilet EVERYWHERE we went, more than was necessary but she always did something too so really, we just have to deal. At least Jelly is going and making it. Good stuff! :D

    And don't bring me your towels to tumble dry either, as we had to remove the heating element last time dh had the lid off and reset the machine!!! (it's a washer dryer. Or should that read 'was'??)

    Hey lovely!! Just catching up :) Glad the daddies had a good day on Sunday, although it sounds like you were in agony after the binge sesh!! Bless you. Lol at the washing :rotfl: I've done that before. I'm the same as you when it comes to towels, they need to be boiled!!

    Hope you've had a good day xxx

    By the way, your pic of Jelly on IG the other day was just sooooooo cute!! xxxx

  • Thanks Lilty, it's good to be back and catch up with the happenings!

    I'm so jealous of all you peeps and your tumbler driers. I grew up with one, but no flat I've lived in since uni has had room for one. I miss those drier fresh sheets and towels!!

    Hahaha!! I know, it is a little bit crazy, but she is great usually. Having said that today she covered her new jacket in bean juice, and managed to cover her bedroom window, windowsill and curtain in some kind of chocolate flavoured concrete. I gave her one piece of chocolate. She multiplied it by 50 judging by the mess! And I only spotted it once dry. Great.. :rotfl:
    !

    If you find out her secret for multiplying chocolate, please let me know :o

    Hahahaha laurasavon yes I would like that trick too! :D:D

    belle 'fraid I've never had a tumble drier in my life. I have currently got washing hanging on an airer across the giant bay window, with the sash windows pushed up as far as they are going, to grab the last of the air :D

    Becs bless you. Did you see the giant blob of glue/glitter/playdough in her hair though :eek: - she's giggling.. I'm debating cutting :rotfl: in the end it came out with a stiff brush and a lot of shampoo. Only took a few hairs with it, but I think it gave her pause the next time she tries that trick!

    Today was a bit of a wash out. Took Jelly to nursery, went to H&B to use my £13.50 rewards voucher. Got 2 giant giant buckets of almond butter/cashew butter and then popped into Mr S for some cocoa powder. Came home, climbed into my bed for a bit of a lie down, and woke up 3 hours later! :eek: - so then jumped up, used aforementioned ingredients and some others to rustle up 42 chocolate almond fat bombs. Keto crusaders, take note. 98% fat. less than 1g of protein and carbs added together :D great for on the run, and very easy to make. I was impressed. Definitely a texture you have to get used to. Like a bad Lindt Lindor... it melts away.

    Jellytot insisted on bed as soon as she got back from nursery today. So gave her an hour and she woke in a much better mood. We dealt with dinner (steak and avocado) and I've done a free weights and squats/planks/crunches session and a little walk to top up my evening, but not very far as neighbour was off out at 7:30.

    My new fitbit is here :) and thus far, in the 6 days since I've had it I only had to charge it up once. THAT'S BETTER!!! :D

    I'm now off to dry my hair and watch daredevil then grab an early night. Tomorrow morning sees me off to my one to one chronic pain session. Then a full day of work. Joy.

    Have a good evening folks xxx

  • I NEED that recipe!! Am craving sweet stuff... Bad w/e with too much fruit, and weight loss completely stalled/reversed :eek: so now I know.. Back into ketosis this evening though, so hopefully the losses will now resume :D

    I'm afraid I'm with girlatplay on this one.. Towels need to be soft and not line dried :o
