SHINEY Happy People, Gettin Skinny as a Beanpole

[HolyGuacamole]

Erm......Hi

Welcome to the Shiney weight loss thread. Some of us are trying to lose a little and some of us are trying to lose a lot. Either way, join in the fun! It is a VERY fast moving thread!

Shiney is the boss around here and makes sure everyone is feeling welcome, thread number 18 sure says a lot!

All welcome, its not just diet talk either, mucho chatting and gossip too

Thanks too Shiney. Makes me cross that I keep being sick at the weekends, but recovering enough to go to work on Monday morning!

Or how about some dinosaurs?

Iggi - My DH had labyrinthitis really badly - you have my sympathy!

I was rather hoping that 11-yr-old DD was not in on the penguin joke

Ah yes Trills, but you don't get the bonus little heart shapes...which are guaranteed to make the girls eat

The hearts must be tony, right?

Yeah, dinosaurs for boy birthdays maybe (not that we're into gender stereotyping of course).

Er, tiny. Not tony's hearts. I don't know who tony is, but he/she isn't going in the sandwiches.

I loved him.. ah.. Not the weird plasticine creature though.

I made myself some salad and had it with Syc's mushroomy pasta thing with red pepper and courgette instead of leeks. Have also had some strawberries.

Have sat with my feet up most of the afternoon apart from about 20 mins upstairs on the pc - I needed to type and print out some reminder sheets (for things that need doing when I am on my own at work) so DH could laminate them for me. I had starting writing stuff down in a notepad, but leafing through each page trying to find what I needed was becoming a pain when needed quickly. Have give myself a manicure too

Is anyone else cold? The weather has not been so good here.

They have for now Sazzles...AF came yesterday too, so a lot going on really. Maybe my new years resolution for 2010 should be not to get so anal about things and relax a little.

Oooer - new double glazing eh!

Yes, I am cold Bella, sorry you are not feeling on top form. Combination of expecting too much of yourself, a bit of post op fatigue, new job and a bad day might have backed up on you.

I mean really ladies, 10 pages in one day...

Had a mad day which is still mad so might catch you all up later.....

TMW - have I missed something... Slapping and Spanking???

food porn for tea is allowed, food porn for tea is allowed.

PSML at Tony Hart sandwiches.

Yeah, deffo dinosaurs for boys Trills. I would never have believed before I had kids just how much really is NATURE and not NURTURE when it comes to hearts/pink and Cars/Dinosaurs for girls and boys respectively.

Although I don't yet think colours are gender specific...DS will always rather push the pink buggy and drink out of the pink sippy cup.

It is officially fucking freezing in London.

My toes have been cold all day...and I've had my Mocci slippers on all day.

Syc - we have had frost every morning for the last 6 days (but then again I am up at 6am these days). The weather has turned.

I'm happy the bathroom is back being temperary greenhouse and the toms are going red. Yum.

Anyone else live in the country (/ish) side and recently discovered the nature a bit too close?

I had to put on my big hangover hoodies earlier cos I was cold.

Making spicy noodle soup for dinner, managed to smoke out the kitchen trying to do prawn crackers.

One more day at work, then I get to go on holiday!

Oh, I thought they were fun Sazzles!!!

It's been really warm here! We might even go camping one last time next week if the warm weather remains. DH has three days off

There is a mahoosive victoria sponge in my kitchen.. it's talking to me, telling me that yes I should have a second slice. What do you think?!
