    Hey fellow hen keeper pixtotts. We have 15 and i love eggs.

    1/2lb off at weigh in which is a bit of a miracle as since the vodka bottle opened on friday afternoon it has been an eat drink and get merry frenzy. I came home and went on the powerplate and did an exercise dvd as punishment for my gluttony lol.

    Same here Tweets, I'm 59 now and when I started working I expected to get my state pension at 60, and as there's 4.5 years between me and DH we would have retired close together, me in September 2017 and him 6 months later. Well I won't be getting my state pension until 2023 but I'm a rebellious sort and I'm giving up work this autumn. :j

    LL :)

    Good luck on giving up work :T

    I wont be able to cant afford being on my own so will carry on.

    I have visions of zooming around kitchen with a zimmer frame :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    At least I know why I am even tireder than usual.
    Not a great biggie in the great scheme of things.

    Lois~~Love you are going to be a rebel :rotfl:
    So only one more summer to go :grin:

    lantanna, I feel for you. You obviously care so much for your parents. It is hard for you to break the pattern, but you do need to do it, even though you will feel it just as much as your folks.

    Kathryn is my daughter’s middle name, just because we liked it. She was 40 this year, kathrynha, but we don’t know any others (in any variant) at all! She is called Lindsey and that is rarely spelled correctly either, candyapple. Add our unusual surname, easily spelled but no one will believe it and give us Docker, Docherty or cross out Mr/Mrs. Can you work out what it is?

    Oh pension ages – that’s a sore one. My friend is one month older than me and she got her state pension almost a year earlier! To say I was peeved is putting it mildly!

    Hello, Squiggly Diddly.

    I think I’ve missed my losers today - well done all of you.

    Do you just have to rest, beanie, or is there something to help?

    Well, I planned to be on plan, but I had a sudden need to have something sweet, chocolate specifically. Very occasionally I just have to give in as I get light headed and shaky, just need a sugar fix. So I went rooting for something. And I found something – 285g bag of Thorntons fudge from Christmas gift. So I ate it – all of it. Oops. But I felt better afterwards. Until I realised that I’d just wolfed down about 75 syns! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Wednesday (not counting aforementioned medicinal fudge)
    Breakfast: banana
    Snack: 2 digestive biscuits & lemon curd (8)
    Lunch: beans on hexb toast
    Dinner: roast beef, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, gravy (2), Light & Free mango yogurt
    Snack: hexa cheese & grapes

    Total: 85 (that leaves less than -10, that is less than minus 10, for the rest of the week; I may have to eat one of my legs, but I’m not sure that it’d be sufficient to compensate for the weight gain I’ll have)

    Night all and don’t do as I do, do as I say –“Make it a good day!”

    My mum wanted to call me Catherine but my nan vetoed it because of an Aunt Kitty who was the black sheep of the family :D I was named after a friend of my sister- my sister picked my name. The popular names in my school year were Julie, Katy/Katie and Helen. I often used to say to mum I wish she had called me Catherine because my name stood out like a sore thumb :D I did however have one of massively common middle names which for my school year was Louise or Marie which was the fault of my Irish granny :D
    Sorry I've been awol people. Not having a very good time of it at the moment. Struggling under the weight of enormous amounts of stress and am coping with it by eating!!

    Off work today, because it's half term here. Going to be interesting eating wise, but by planning hopefully I will do okay.

    Breakfast - fruit
    Lunch - Eating out at softplay. Hoping they have jacket potatoes on the menu
    Dinner - Eating out at Indian Restaurant. Going to have lamb rogan josh at 10 syns with plain boiled rice.

    HA - milk
    HB - cereal bars as snack

    At the hospital tomorrow to see the consultant. Hoping to find out more about treatment and timescales.

    Oh no Beanie ,
    Get plenty of rest.


    Thanks for the wise words Greentiger , yes I do care about them a lot. I was mad last night :mad:. Had told Dad to get breaded fish out of the freezer and put them in the oven, I wasn't going to have tea there but would "swing by for 5 mins".


    I get there expecting them to be eating their fish or for the fish at least to be in the oven. Asked Dad where it was and he says oh your mums not hungry and I'm just having a tin of soup. :mad::mad:
    He doesn't get it you don't ask, you just cook it and then she will eat it.


    So I dug an M&S Ready meal out of the freezer for her and of course she ate it.


    Did anybody watch Superslimmers Where are they now? It was very qood if a little sad, certainly gave me thoughts to think about.

    Lantanna. Watched the super slimmers thing.
    So basically unless you eat very little or exercise excessively you are not going to keep the weight off.
    Profoundly depressing I think.

  • Morning all! Interesting name chat. There were five Daniels in my class at school. I'm a Lucy which wasn't popular for my age but got really popular about ten years later. I got used to being the only one and now there are five or six in my running club and it always annoys me so much (bit of Only Child Syndrome in there as well I think!).

    I had a sneaky weigh yesterday and was looking on track for a STS but then had an interview which I don't think went very well and came home and scoffed a chocolate orange and three creme eggs. I did go running in the evening and then came home to a bowl of cereal instead of a nutritious meal so all in all not a very SW day at all.

    So yeah, MSM, not really doing the 777 thing! Maybe next week when things are less hectic.

    Got to wait in for a parcel today so not sure what I'll have for lunch as the cupboard is very bare. will report back later.

    Hugs to all xxxx
