The Lose Weight The Old Style Way Thread.

RS...only when DD2 was well in her 20s did she confess that she often got out of the window( bungalow) and went out at night when she was 15/16, so its a common problem...we try to build up their confidence by telling them they are wonderful and then they turn round and tell you they are not kids.. For some reason some teenagers seem set on a course of ruining their lives, but most end up fine in the end...hugs.

Today I have eaten:
B...porridge with raisins and apricots, milk;
L...ham sandwich
D..hm chicken and lentil soup,.lamb chop, potatoes, broccoli, onion, mint and white wine sauce, water
Since had another ham sandwich, need something else, maybe some more of the soup, it was very good

Sleep well all

Hello my Friends xx:D

On here really late this morning as I nipped straight to Tesco when I got up to avoid all the people! It was dead at 5.30 :j

Hope you Ds is ok now Taplady, thinking of you :grouphug:

RS ~ I'm SO SORRY matey but I feel sorry for you DD :rolleyes: That was me not long ago only I did worse things than that! When Mum was on her own she really struggled and we really took advantage. I would never have behaved like that if my Dad was at home as he'd have killed me! I was hurting and it came out in bad behaviour, not that I'm making an excuse for her. Don't forget, I came home from school one day to tell my Mum I'd got married ~ so it could be worse! 18 years on and all is fine. I see Mum Mum all the time and we're really close, and she forgives me for being such a !!!!!, and she loves Mr Frog xx

Newlywed ~ hope you are coping ok xx
MrsM ~ I'm really glad they turned up :T I'll look out for them in the post, THANKYOU xx

Hello to the rest of you Hope you are all going to have a nice weekend and peace returns in your households xxxx

Afternoon ladies!Bl**dy 'puter still won't let me post properly - no smilies, can't do 'thanks' ARRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!Right, yesterday.....went for a pub lunch with a girl from work -I just had a bowl of potato wedges with garlic mayonaise but it was GORGEOUS!Met OH after work and we wandered round the German Markets (no row this time) then went in Pizza Hut.... I had a garlic ciabatta and a small veggie pizza, OH ate enough to feed a small army! No vampires around today though!Got up early today and went to Tesco - was that you I saw Frogga hopping round the fridges?????Had a boiled egg and soldiers for brekkie then veg soup and a wholemeal roll for lunch followed by a banana. Bubble and squeak for tea possibly with cauldron sausages - I do like them!Not much exercise today as I have a migraine lurking.I was going to make my truffles for christmas but I've forgotten the unsalted butter and it's evil outside.....sleeting and very windy..so I'm not going to go out just for that...OH is working so he has the car and it's a 20 min walk to the nearest supermarket.... Tomorrow I'm taking my grandchildren to our works kids Christmas Party so will be fit for nothing afterwards......Off to make myself a nice cuppa I think!

Evening ladies...

Another quiet day on here...hope everyone is off doing exciting things.... the height of my excitement today has been - knitting..we have now reached 22" :T

By xmasme

doesn't show the colours quite right but...its lovely and niece will love it..want some rustic looking big wooden buttons to sew across the ends.... think it will look right .. i can't believe how adictive it has become.. hubby reckons it will be ready in time for this xmas...but she isn't having it.... she has plenty in here basket allready..so IT WILL go away for next year

Rockie.. we are planning on having a toddle round the xmas market on monday... weather permitting... doesn't it make you feel all festive -especially if you go at night when its all lit up and twinkley :xmassmile

Taplady.... Just what you need at this time of year... everyone seems to be having unexpected financial problems dropped on them at the moment don't they ??... How come you have to pay to get it out of the pound?? i would have thought the police recovery guys would have taken it away.... still at least DS is OK.... hope you and hubby are feeling better soon..

Woohoo frogga..hope you have had a good day

We have just had a HM pasta salad for dinner and there is enough in the fridge for my lunch tomorrow -hubby being on duty it will be as much as i can be bothered to do :rotfl:

well as there is no-one else to talk to i will toddle off and get some more knitting done... keep at it folks -sending hugs to all those with worries n troubles at the moment... hope things get better for everyone soon

Afternoon all. Just got back in from the christmas tree festival and my stall went really well After making a donation to the church it was at and taking into consideration what I spent on making bits I made around £30 profit :j Also got given a pair of flip flops free that hadn't sold on another stall by the end so they'll do for next summer. I haven't brought flips flops in about 3 years cos I always manage to get the free somehow! All in all a good day so far. Fully recovered from my grump yesterday. Popping round the neighbours for a drink in a bit as they're moving next week. There may be nibbles but i will endevour to be good! Then off to the pub for a few birthday drinks for a friend.

RS - I was really horrible at that age. Never stayed out all night without telling anyone but then I had no where to go cos we lived in the middle of nowhere. I just used to break things and trash the place on a worringly regular basis. Then I left school, saved up some money and went off travelling on my own and came back much calmer and more grown up. We still argue in my house but nowhere near as often or as badly! Just usual family bickering there days. Sisters bf was made to sleep in his car last night cos he came home so stupidly drunk. He grovelled his way back in about 4.30 this morning after he'd sobered up a bit and frozen his bits off outside :rotfl:

I'm off to warm up by the radiator. Shivering off calories at the minute!!

It wasn't the police who collected it, the police arranged for a private firm to do it and we aren't covered as DS had 3rd party insurance!:rolleyes:


am off out tonight for a curry with some friends - !!!!!! the diet I need cheering up!:D
