    As usual your meals make me hungry bubbs. Mine won't be ready for another hour but it is wine o'clock so that will keep me going . 😁

    Hi. I wonder if I can join your thread please?  I've previously done SW and lost an incredible 5 stone with a group.  Sadly, I've gained 3 stone since January 2020.  I have recently been diagnosed with endometriosis and andometriosis (sp) as well as PCOS. I suffer with comfort eating due to being in pain, anxiety and insomnia.  I want to get back on track but I don't want to attend meetings anymore.  I have fallen out of love with myself and can see me heading back to my dark days of insecurities and body image.  Sorry if this is too much information.  My plan is to try and lose 40lbs.  I just want to find my mojo again and start enjoying life again xx
    WElcome to our lovely thread.
    Lots of help & support too.
    I also am a chronic pain person & how a few issues with my balance & my muscles & fatigue.
    Keep plodding & keep posting  :)

    Wine o'clock here too maman.  DH decided to open a bottle of wine rather than sticking with beer or spirits today so definitely going to be over on syns.

    Just finished dinner and the JO slow cooked pork is probably the best we've had for a long time!  Just couldn't resist a little bit of crackling though, again the best we've had for ages!

    I love that JO recipe denise. It's the way I always cook pork. I don't sieve the veg trivet for gravy. We just eat any that get to the table (after cook's perks😁) . The roast garlic particularly is lush. 😋

    You do seem to get some good bargains on glitches bubbs.  I never seem to see anything like that!

    That's when i joined MSE , ML was always on about it and i had a look, then found this thread on here "The Elite" i sat and read it and read it, then took the plunge and joined in, i said to dh these are getting loads cheap from Asda , i want to go Asda and kept saying it 😂 He says go then........bet he wishes he never 😂i was always in there when they had there Price Guarantee, we literally got stuff for pennies 😁 infact it has been stopped 2/3 yrs and i still have fairy washing up liquid , think i have a couple of years worth still 😁

    The fish was tescos fault, but of course i took advantage and filled the freezer 😁 That's how i met my friend i go company shop with, although we won't be going for a while, too far for me to travel if i get stopped :(
    Hi there long time no hear!  I thought the entire forums were gone but just found this.  As usual with me, I'll probably post and then close my screen down and return later - no disrespect meant, it's just how I am, to pick up replies.  Busy life I'm afraid (obviously I'm too busy:rotfl:).  I reckon, as I just happen to have Mr T due tomorrow for a home delivery, there will be loads of glitches you all know about that I'll be told of or come back and find out about at one minute past midnight and unable to put them onto the shop!

    This pandemic (no-one wants to hear me talk about that:(), onto a specialist interest of sorts I'm afraid - or continuing on such interests as I never leave them but move from one to the other - people here may not know I am autistic (a very helpful thing most times and good for me you'll hate it has helped me in lockdown whilst I know many people experiencing the same sort of hurt I got in previous-normal life) - it's been 'interesting' for me watching as it's revealed that, apart from the fundamental things that everyone except a deviant minority agrees are wrong (e.g. murder (ignoring euthanasia), sex abuse and violence, robbery, theft, damaging people's property etc.) it seems that I see almost EVERYTHING else the complete opposite way to most people.  Maybe talk about later but nice to drop in.  Nothing to do with losing weight:rotfl: - I can't talk about that, unfortunately, as I put my foot into things and make people jealous.  Best of luck, as I'm alright Jack as usual.  In fact, that's wrong because, as people who know me will know, I'm actually helpful and considerate and indeed tear myself up a lot in trying to ensure I am and in thinking of other people in preference to myself a lot and appreciate and empathise with people going through things as I can relate as having gone through them myself at another time.  We all help each other I know.
    [EDIT: Something's gone wrong - I don't know how to get the emoticons to appear at the moment, with this new format of the forums that only started about... what?... probably only over a year ago - as I'm still typing in what used to appear as the emoticons on the old versions of the threads.  My apologies.  See, I am a nice person:rotfl:.  Even if I now commit the same thing again as still haven't quite yet got the place to get the roll around laughing emoticon from.  All the best!]

    It's all bubbs' fault. Perhaps best to save money by buying *nothing*.  But as long as we don't starve ourselves or anything like that.
    My simple solution again - buy nowt.  RL, it's not so easy!
