BrianAndHisBalls · 13/10/2010 15:32

WallowsInFlies · 13/10/2010 15:34

frankly i hate all pottery/nic nac type shite. my mum always had lado or whatever it's called figurines.

Thanks for tips Bitter, my main problem is I don't have the energy to cook properly, when I finish work I am too hungry and tired and that's where the take-aways come into play, but if I want to be slim and svelte (or in other words not a walking tub of lard) then it's time to throw out the take aways and start cooking. Love the "slim down" alternatives Bitter

HubbleBubbleToilAndDouble ?

Hey desire...... you holding out ok? Not been wobbled to within an inch of you life yet?

WallowsInFlies · 13/10/2010 15:45

ooh that's a good one mouse.

the more i try to sort this place out the more of a shit tip it looks.

ds's room is looking quite lovely though.

HammerMousefaceOfHorrors · 13/10/2010 15:51

WIF - I used to love doing DDs room when she was little, making it all tidy.

It's a shit pit these days full of socks and make-up.

Might go and sort it in a bit.

ThePumpkinofDoomandTotalChaos · 13/10/2010 15:53

Bitter - hope things go better at the school re"sorting out bullying

Brian - have just been googling cornish troika. I concur. It's a bit erm basic. and not in a stylish way.

Desire - alternatively you could just do low-fat the lazy way like me, and buy low fat ready meals and weight watchers brand cakes Wink. M & S and Waitrose do nice low fat range chicken curries.

Hi Mouse, didn't get to wobble yet:( it was delivered at lunch time and the choice was wobble for ten minutes or make something to eat, so naturally enough eating came first.
Made a discovery today, my non-stick pan is not non-stick, omelette was on menu for lunch today (not real menu of course, just one in my head) and though I succeeded in making one, I doubt that anyone other than myself would have attempted to eat it. It tasted lovely but looked more like something out of a slop bucket Blush
How is Nemo now?

BitterAndTwistedGoreDodger · 13/10/2010 16:15

Afternoon. I was going to suggest Instructionstothedoublebubbletoilandtrouble.

I like yours mouse, it's neater.

Desire, I am an ok cook but omelette is the one thing that beats me every time.

If you cba to cook may I suggest that a slowcooker would be a good investment? And Tins of soup are your friend.

I'll shut up with the preaching now. Blush

I don't know what's got in to me. anyway don't listen to me, my food intake for today has consisted of 6 jelly babies. Blush

I have made a cottage pie for when we get back from school though. Smile

desiretochange · 13/10/2010 16:23

Thanks Bitter but I really need to kick my ass into gear and start cooking properly for myself, just not very imaginative in the kitchen:( Two-fold advantage to that hopefully, lose weight and save money Wink
Looks like I will be calling on you for recepies :):)

TheMittzressOfMystery · 13/10/2010 16:24

Quite like Troika meself.. very Paul Klee. He was my first artistic inspiration.

Peers over glasses at Bitter.. you know young lady that that is insufficient food wise.......

I feel betterish in my head at the mo but..... (close your ears Brian) bloody farking periods. Have cried on and off all day at the miners, headache, tummy ache..

It's being so cheerful that keeps me going though dontcha know Wink

WooHoo double picked me! Grin

Mittz, I consider myself chastised and will eat an extra portion of cottage pie whilst thinking of you.

Actually scratch that if you remember my odd dream or you will consider me perving. Blush

Desire, feel free to pick my brains for recipes, but I am incapable of throwing together anything fancy.

WallowsInFlies · 13/10/2010 16:37

i'm with gorey. no food today and constant dia-can't spell it but basically many, many visits to the loo.

TheMittzressOfMystery · 13/10/2010 16:58
HammerMousefaceOfHorrors · 13/10/2010 17:25

Desire - he ok, ish. Just uber snotty. Not sure where it all comes from.

Christ, I have eaten like a pig today. Pate on toasted muffins, cheese sarnie, crisps and coffee.

Crap or what.

I could really do with losing my appetite again.

WallowsInFlies · 13/10/2010 17:28

i've had nothing and have zero umpf to cook.

am tempted to have another, final, takeaway.

HammerMousefaceOfHorrors · 13/10/2010 17:40

WIF - I can't be fucked to cook but MrM is still in Brum interviewing and I said I'd do dinner.

? Grin

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 13/10/2010 17:45

You're all going to have to think of a name for me :)

Hello everyone :o

Can I run in and whinge now I'm a part timer?

Well I'm going to anyway. You don't have to reply.

H is doing all the things he was back when all this started (three bloody years ago). He's making everything about him. Forgetting to do everything (by this I mean say he has ten things he needs to do in a week, he'll do only one and forget the rest), taking offence if I point out things. Not doing any things off his own back (I always have to ask). And it's driving me crazy. I can feel myself slipping back into that horrible 'mother' role, where I nag him and he pouts.

He's cost us £170 in the passt month or so in stupid ways (paying car insurance twice, court fee because he forgot to pay council tax on his flat just to name a couple).

I sat him down last week for a heart to heart to tell him how unhappy I was with how things were going. He was also lying by omission and doing some very PA things. He seemed to understand how hurt I was and promised to change.

But he hasn't changed anything! Not even using his light box to keep the SAD at bay. It's one thing to do things without realizing, but surely once I've explained how much I am hurting about it all, it's another to keep doing them.

I'm feeling really ground down Sad

Was this all a stupid mistake? I think he's not well, but he gets upset if I suggest that. He's still taking his meds, but just seems "different".

I won't do this again :(. I can't.

He's still promising to change, but I can already see it crossing into "but you have to change too" and that's just a step away from a line that's been crossed too many times before.

Oh god. Sorry for the ramble.

Ignore ignore.

And I'm fat too.
