@WinterFrogs bellend is such an amazing word! 😂

I however can never use it again on mn 😪 - I flew too close to the sun and mn will ban me if I ‘personal attack’ anyone else 🙈🤷‍♀️

thank you - @Mumtobabyhavoc and @SpiritOfEdna good to be back 😂

I’m behind so will catch up but love to all, well wishes to all and a Happy Valentines Day to all

dd is a bit poorly so we are indoors instead of going to the cinema - she got a doll and a giant lollipop and a rose - the lollipop was the only thing that interested her 😂😂

just to hold myself accountable today:
hang up laundry
hang up two shelves in kitchen
clear kitchen completely so it’s ready for bleaching and mopping tomorrow
get DD’s teddies in the living room for half term (they’re currently in the bedroom/playroom unused

❤️❤️❤️🙆‍♀️

My OH is away skiing so I’m hooking up with a GF who’s recently divorced and we’re having a curry. I promised her on the run up to Christmas that we’d get together in January… so I’m only a few weeks late 😆

One of my local shops stocks frozen curries made by a local lady. They’re absolutely banging… so she’s hosting and doing rice and sides and I’m arriving with curry.

I LOVE the sound of your curry. We never have it as DS1 has too many allergies. Last time he went away with school we had ALL the curries and Chinese we could possibly eat. It will possibly take me a while before I can look a chicken ball in the eye again but I am yearning for curry.

Im going to be putting away a food delivery and then a romantic trip to Screwfix.

Then I'm taking my beloved to the fields to let her dig and run!

I really want to do a bit more on a creative project - painting probably.

@WideOpenBeaches We have a lovely local kitchen actually where they make and freeze curries and lasagne etc. I think the cater for parties too. All freshly cooked like at home, they say. Enjoy yours!

Hello @mumofoneAloneandwell ! Poor old DD. I hope she feels better soon. Your projects sound very ambitious by my standards 😍 Good luck!

Let's all sit down together for a virtual curry @SpringingIntoSummerLobelia and anyone else who wants to join 😁

On that note, no junk food here all week! I'm 2lb down and not craving which pleases me no end!

Hope you enjoy your painting Berfy 💐

WideOpenBeaches · 14/02/2026 13:37

Bravo @WinterFrogs ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I don’t eat much UPF but still at least a stone overweight. I have so many digestive problems that I’m pretty sure that’s what stops me from losing.

Just back from Zumba and after huffing and puffing 7000 steps, I’ve worked off about the equivalent of an egg according to my Fitbit.

Dammit. 🤬

RunningKatie · 14/02/2026 18:12

I have top secret news - so clearly posting it on a public forum. Someone I know had a surprise baby yesterday. She's shocked, I'm shocked for her.
Apart from that, not much going on here! 😀

SpringingIntoSummerLobelia · 14/02/2026 19:02

Oh WOW!!!!

That;s amazing! Huge congrats to her! How does she feel??!!

My cousin's wife had a surprise pregnancy. I think she was 6 mos or so before it was figured out. I can't imagine! 😵‍💫

How is your friend doing? Is she and baby okay?

Loving reading about everyone's plans and happenings. 🩷🤗
A virtual dinner party sounds great!! Let's plan!

Kids are playing with the karaoke. 🙉
I think we must have Covid as my sense of smell is very messed up. I smell a combo of mustiness and burning.

I feel ya MOOAAW 😂😂😂😂

Omg 😂

what did they have
how old are they
is it her husbands or the post mans?

mumofoneAloneandwell · 14/02/2026 19:47

Is everyone having the virtual curry club tonight?!

I bought a Pataks for myself for tonight as randomly had cravings!

well girls I did kind of clean the kitchen. And I did hang up the washing

I will have to pay someone to come and hang up the shelves 🙈🙈 it’s too hard!

will hopefully be using airtasker for the first time, will let you all know how it goes

Dd has STRONG feelings about my attempts to teach her to play with her toys. Each and every Barbie got chucked out of the room, one by one, with a look back at me to let me know she’s serious! 😬😬😭

Well done @WinterFrogs , 2lbs down is amazing 🥰xx

@Mumtobabyhavoc 😂 oh gosh karaoke - I might try it for my dd though, could be fun during half term

@WideOpenBeaches have fun! Sounds immense

RunningKatie · 14/02/2026 19:55

We are having curry too!

Baby is a bouncing healthy girl, baby and mum are doing really well. Safely home now, dad's doing a great job at sorting all they need, thank heavens for 24hr supermarkets!

WinterFrogs · 14/02/2026 20:04

Crikey @RunningKatie! Is this their first? I am glad they're all ok!

Yes curry here 😋

mumofoneAloneandwell · 14/02/2026 20:09

Got my boneless chicken thighs defrosting now for a late dinner once dd decides to drop off 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Quick G’day all from Sydney. Arrived safely and it’s been all go since.

Weather not great though. Went up to the Blue Mountains on Friday and it rained pretty constantly and was cold. Back down to Sydney yesterday and hoping for some sunshine today.

Wow to surprise baby @RunningKatie!

Mumtobabyhavoc · 14/02/2026 20:51

I used to occasionally pick up an awesome red curry with lamb at a place that was close by, but it's gone now as the block is being redeveloped. 😭 Should look for a new place... 🧐

MOOAAW Santa gave the karaoke machine to baby. This one is "ok" for karaoke, but great as a Bluetooth speaker! Since dc are quite young I didn't want to spend a lot as things get broken easily here. There are tonnes on Amazon.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 14/02/2026 20:55

omg thanks @Mumtobabyhavoc the one I was looking at was £60 at Smyths Toys and they’re going for a third of the cost on Amazon! Agree, zero point in splashing out - judging by dd today it’ll be chucked out the door for offending her anyway!

So glad those things didn’t exist when DC were younger. Phew!

How was everyone’s curry night last night? We ate so much… bhajis, poppadoms, butter chicken, Goan prawn and a yummy dhal along with rice.

I saw her get out these giant naans and said ‘Don’t open it… I’ll only eat a square inch… if that’.

Set off to walk home and took the wrong footpath which landed me in the wrong place in the village. Just wasn’t thinking. In daylight, I’d have twigged.

Ended up in bed past midnight with 2000 steps already on my Fitbit for today 😆

Its been a slow start this morning
