LIGHTen up!

[Mouseface]

Hello, I'm Mouse

This is a thread for those who want to lose weight, keep weight off, get fitter and talk about cheese and chocolate healthy eating.

No rules, just join in, We won't bite.

Unless you ask very nicely!

Oh dear mouse, clean up in aisle Nemo, we have a code brown!

Not working, Joe is on the late, so I think I'll put pops to bed early and watch a film or read with DS.

Aw, sounds nice Bitter. I used to love snuggling up with DD and reading. I'd fall asleep with her more often than not!!!

Double - I don't do fish. And not in a pie. Prawns, tuna and that's about it.

Operation clean up Nemo was a success. Phew!!

Oh I like fish pie... I'd just kill for someone to cook me a meal these days.

Although.. I agreed to 'keep in touch' with my Ex MiL and tomorrow is One Of Those Days She is 92 so although we have a differences, I can put them aside and be gracious even if she can't.

I've just done the bra thing....

Hope this the start of things looking up Bitter xx

Have one of DD's friends here so might cheat and get chips in, pile of B and B and something easy to bung in the oven.

I belted out the entire Album of Carol King's Tapestry at work today... I really should give up my day job! They have a slidy panelled floor that is ace for getting the groove on!

Hey Mittz - sounds like you had a fab day!!! Cleared the cobwebs singing?!!

Well the spiders made a run for the hills lol! Nearly did some more plummy portraits but figured it was an inappropriate use of my time

How are you?

I'm good!! Loved the plum pic. It took me a minute to suss which fruit you had used, it was so red!!

So, plans for the weekend? Are the DCs with their dad?

Does it smell musty Double? I knew you'd crashed out!!

Sometimes my washer has a mad one and my washing smaells damp/mouldy. I end up re washing it!! It's only 2 years old!!

Pha!

Man, I am never going to catch up with you guys!

I'm hormonal. I nearly cried at work today for no reason.

The good news. I can do this, there's nothing that seems beyond me and I'm learning it. So that's a bonus, I was worried my ability to learn something new would have disappeared, but it hasn't. Woohoo.

I'm going to drink wine and eat fish and chios tonight. Ive been very good all week, only taking a sandwich into work so I'm not tempted to snack or have a big lunch. I bet i've halved my calories. I'm certainly feeling a bit trimmer.

How are all you lovely ladies?

Thanks Double :). Ooh chips are here, I'm off to get fat!

Evening all

Glad work went well UNO.

Saf, that's why DS didn't get taken to the cinema until he was 4 - he would have been that child. (Although I hope I wouldn't have been that mother!)

Mittz, I love a good sing song, not done that for ages.

Double, I make a mean fish pie, but not often as I don't like it! DH and DC wolf it down though.

Boring afternoon, sorted some laundry, fed dc. They are now in bed, hurrah!

Glass of red I fee.

Oh, and my Mum rang and asked if she could take DC out for lunch tomorrow.

I think my sister may have had a word with her.

saf - when DS saw Toy Story 3 last month, it was the first film (at 6) that he sat down all the way through, that I didn't have to take him out (usually for scaredness) at 4 he would have been a nightmare, so well done to your DS (and boo to the other mum for not making more effort).

Mittz - sounds like a productive week

Uno - first week is the hardest.

I'll teach you to make fish pie no probs saf. Is dead simple. Ditto Lasagne.

I always helped my Mum in the kitchen but got really into cooking when I was about 13 or 14 I think?

My parents used to invite their best friends round and I would cook them a 3 course meal. I still can't do fancy schmancy but do believe if you can read you can cook.

At University I was the only one not living off of pot noodles, but I think that's because I enjoy my food too much. That's probably why I like cooking tbh.

Saf, I feel a cow most days with DS. He winds me up so much that I tend to miss the bits when he is being really good.

Double, I once went a whole month without cooking the same thing twice.

Wish I had written down what we had, as we tend to get stuck in the same rut. 9 or Ten recipes rolled out over the weeks. Always a roast on sunday though.

Hello lovelies, how are we all?

I managed half of my dinner just not hungry or motivated by food. I want my bed!!

Nemo has had another great day!! He even had some ice-cream on his highchair tray and licked his fingers!!!! Trust me when I tell you that is a HUGE step for him.

Hey UNO!! Hey TC!!

Anyone seen 100? Mittz - still got the swishy skirt on? I'm boiled!!! So humid here.

I think that my thermostat is bust!! God damn hormentals!!!
