Hope you are much better now Redo . Feel for you on eating the wheat biscuits, I have succumbed occasionally and suffered the consequences.

Just a quick update - thanks for all the kind thoughts.

Still grotty, but starting to brighten up so hopefully it should go soon.

Confession time:
Takeway curry Friday
Chip shop tea Saturday

I did at least make a beef roast today with lots of veg. And a quiche for packed lunches but the bottomless pit that is DS1 ate most of it as a snack when I wasn't looking.

I don't blame you, when you feel grotty and still have to work then something has to give.

I feel very thinly stretched at the moment HHOD and I refuse to be super woman, it's a recipe for disaster. I'm not helping myself by not sorting a cleaner out, but I do hate having strangers in the house.

I've been trying to get ahead of myself with the seasonal stuff, so a few stocking bits ordered from Azn and gearbest for the boys that will take weeks to arrive. Otherwise I'll end up guilt buying piles of tat of sweets to fill space at the last minute. £7 each has given them 4 stocking things that they will actually use so that's not bad.

DS2s PC is making funny noises like the robot in Buck Rodgers - or was it something else? 'Biddy, biddy, biddy', electronic noise. I have visions of that giving up the ghost shortly. Must take the case off and see if it is anything obvious. Might be that the fan is full of dust.

Lots of work travel again but I am trying to get a grip on my eating which varies between not at all, and binge eating utter junk. I think Sunday lunch was my only balanced meal last week which is really poor. Yesterday was a banana and a cornetto and lots of black coffee.

So sorry you're not able to shake this lurgy it really takes everything out of you when it just doesn't shift.

The cashmere wrist warmers sound divine. You have me thinking about winter woolies now.

You're food is having my tummy rumble already and it's only 10.30.
I must get back in the kitchen but Mr Star has decided to strip, prime and repaint the wooden window carcasses in our kitchen so as usual in a doer-upper everything is just a bit grotty. A cheats sausage roast is about as exciting as it gets here at the moment.

you are so right about not trying to be superwoman, it would do you no favors. Try and rest up Redo

Hope you feel better soon redo.

Alternately :rotfl: & :eek: at the pc making the biddy biddy biddy noise, pretty sure you're right & that was the robot from Buck Rogers. My DH uses the cans of compressed air to clean inside his PC case every so often, it's amazing how dirty they get. :eek:

Good idea to plan ahead with stocking fillers, my DS is still too wee to really bother about Christmas or even understand it so I can get away with no stocking & very few presents. He is only really interested in ripping the wrapping paper at his age. :T

Come on Redo. You need to eat well to get well!

Seconded!

(and thanks for the help... I know how busy you are, but it's made a HUGE difference)

I've actually been eating properly for the last few days, and as a result I think a significantly lower number of calories have been doing in - and those that have have been better quality.

Where has week gone? I've mostly spent it playing 'groundhog day' on the same stretches of motorways.

I did get a chance to nip into MrL and pick up a pile of their nut/seed/dry fruit mixes which are perfect for my work bag and the car so that I actually eat something healthy. I also got one of their 'wonky' boxes at £1.50 - their short dated F&V rather than bought as wonky, mine had three bags of satsumas, red pepper, sugar snap peas, 5 lemons, cherry toms and a punnet of grapes. I was buying satsumas for me and tomatoes anyway so this was actually cheaper. Worth keeping a look out for.

The client has paid all of the outstanding invoices so the business account is much healthier. When the volume of work gets to me I have a look at that balance and feel better.

I've never seen those boxes in our Mr L - what amazing value!

Glad the invoices have been paid
