    LW.. is it likely you aren't eating enough to lose any weight? Would something like WW or SW help? you don't have to go anywhere but they have online communities where there is a lot of support and advice and people of all sorts of abilities.. I just wonder if it is worth looking at. Bills and alarms are necessary.. like food etc.. you need them.. it is the non-vital things... like 3/4 jeans ;) *nudge nudge point finger!!* that count.

    Washing out
    WM x 2 on
    DW emptied and refed.
    lunch scoffed

    Pan cupboard emptied.. I had DS3 do it so I have no choice except to put it all away.. after wiping out the spideroos!!

    Folding laundry first though and Twinkle has woken up from her nap so I need to feed her too.

    Thanks for poke Pigpen, made worse by finding a pair of old 3/4 in the wardrobe, to be fair they are quite worn and not sure I would be able to wear them for work.

    I have cleared out 2 bin bags of rubbish and 2 big bags to go to charity.

    A few more bits gone out of kitchen too. Some old leftovers used up. Space made in cupboard to get one of the pots off the side. I want clear surfaces.

    Been good with food today, egg salad for lunch, bolognaise cooking and will do a sort of lasagna but using aubergine slice as am trying to be low carb.

    Fridge still to wipe down and lesson to plan.

    Xx

    Hmmm. The morning scramble for work trousers failed to elicit my two pairs that Himself should have washed a fortnight ago - but a pair that I don't ever remember fitting since I was given them, do.

    That's - interesting.


    Work (as always) was a bit weird with new staff and previous decisions being reversed - and complete denial of the original decisions ever having been made. Ah well, I shall just shrug and get on with it, as it's far easier to go with whatever way the wind is blowing this week.


    Himself has thoughtfully put a new bulb in the bathroom light - as it's the only one that is a normal BC fitting in the house (other than the kitchen light which I got replaced as soon as I moved in), it's handy, considering I have not yet been able to find a supplier of the particular very rare CFL variant the builders shoved in everywhere else; hence why I have no lighting on the way upstairs until I actually get into a bedroom. If they blow as well, which they may do, seeing as they're all the same age, I'll be left for a week in pools of darkness.

    He's just started cooking for our last meal together for a week( whilst he's off to a tropical paradise). I've been staaarving since 10.30am when I ate my sandwich.

    Here's hoping we eat before 9pm.



    And it looks like, from the kitchen floor, at any rate, he's leaving me a present of a load of mess to spend the week cleaning up.


    Sigh.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Dizzy..Pineapple on pizza counts for sure..as does liquid grapes right (wine?) x

    Jojo hope the fitting i the trousers was because of slimming rather than expansion..I for some reason fit a 12 now not a 14 but haven't lost weight..answers on a postcode?

    All stuff done..apart from table, did manage to wash and change two lots of bedding and add on all passport details to booking as an extra though.
    Just off to wash and wipe up , so it's nice and ready for the morning. Have a good night all.

    Hellooo. Thankooo muchly for the new thread :D
    I'm in for the week.. Playing catch up after being poorly sick for over a fortnight:(
    Today was wonderful, took full advantage and filled up the washing line, did my bedding, dried it & re made the bed with it :rotfl:
    Attended Drs apts with my mum, prescriptions collected, sorted her PIP application and after making a copy of it all it got posted it off.:T (been a mahoosive source of stress for my mum & myself)
    Found a book for myself in the library (while copying forms)
    Mowed the front lawn & my elderly neighbours (as they have been poorly) borrowed the mower from my other neighbour, I'm very grateful for the lovely street I live in.
    Made tea, chomped a small ice cream & then grumbled quietly as I need to loose the 10kg that attached itself to me after my thyroid went :eek: it's a work in progress.. Mainly uphill.. I will get there!
    Ooh, booked myself in for a massage at the beginning of May.. It'll be free as was a gift at Xmas.. Also booked car in for her quarterly valet.
