Can you do the Special K challenge thingy, but substituting Coco Pops for the Special K? I can't see why not.

Hello Shiney!

Missing you around here - I mean, I know you're here, but you're not 'here' like you were when you were on the wagon! Really hoping you get back on it soon!

TrillianAstra · 14/09/2009 19:56

Hello. I am packing my stuff for holiday . Taking into consideration that I would quite like to be able to bring back wine, so can't pack too much

Risotto for dinner tonight, once DP has dropped the key round at our friend's so she can water the plants. She seemed very keen to water them, almost to the point where I went . Maybe she just loves plants, maybe she wants to snoop at our house. (tis not the "other woman" by the way, who I have befriended on facebook in order to make her less scary)

bellavita · 14/09/2009 20:00

Have a great time Trill >

bellavita · 14/09/2009 20:01

Thank god for that Lizzy, thought I was on my own then!

TrillianAstra · 14/09/2009 20:02

Right people, what have I forgotten to pack? And is it something that will be hadr to find in a rural supermarket in France?

Even worse, is it something I will have to ask for?

IWantAChickAndADuck · 14/09/2009 20:05

Chocolate everytime...mmmm chocolate. I know Lizzy, I'm there tomorrow morning!!

Plenty of books, not sure if tasteful but I have two bikinis (to have variable tan lines) and I don't even really like marmite very much.

I'm on the pill so I know exactly when I'm due on, and it's not while I'm away.

Can you imagine trying to explain a mooncup?

TrillianAstra · 14/09/2009 20:13

French dictionary and phrasebook are now in the bag!

(I think they were written for Americans thugh, the explanations of how to pronounce stuff are all weird)

Lizzylou · 14/09/2009 20:13

Trill have a fab holiday

Shiney, hope you get your healthy eating mojo back

Off to bed as DH has to be out the door at 4.30am tomorrow to travel down to Larndarn for work. Will watch TV in bed.
He's peed me off, I've been running around after him all evening. He's all stiff and sore after cricket yesterday, honestly you'd think he was an 95yr old with a double hip replacement the way he's going on.

BUT my Gareth Cheeseman Grrring did work on work/insurance stuff (a bit), so will be doing it again tomorrow morning

Bella, stay away from the choc chips!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 14/09/2009 20:25

Have a great holiday Trill.

DidEinsteinsMum · 14/09/2009 20:26

i dont have that stuff in for ds he cant eat it. My weak point is being at uni and breaks and lunch. Because i am now getting up at 6am my body clock is out and i get the shakes really badly if i dont eat around 11/11.30am. SO i either eat lunch early or pick. Then do the other at lunch time. Today was a particularly bad day because of how it started. Yesterday was a nightmare for and with Ds. Change, tempers, manic panic and that was just my dad. Ds needless to say had several melt downs in the middle. This morning had a knock on because i was sooo tired i didnt manage to get up at 6am so the morning was out and i could do everything that i would now normally do so he couldnt cope. This folowed on with me being very stressed, emotionally drained and tired. Hence the bad day. I have sorted the handouts and getting them printed tonight then an early to bed. Just have to make up the slides of the power point presentation and can do a bit tomo morning and probably some at lunch and finish off after ds' bedtime. Not trying to be pefect. Just trying to have slides for the lesson. I am not a perfectionist. Too disorganised for that. .

You're all right though and water is the way to go tonight. Sleep will help and if i work through lunchtime the choclate will stay in the shop.

Must drink more water!

DoNotBringLulu · 14/09/2009 20:52

Evening all,

Trill have a great time.

DEM - I know what you mean about getting the shakes when blood sugar gets low. On returning from the school run a few times last week I ended up pigging out on oatcakes and peanut butter because I felt weird. Have a good night's sleep, you've had a tough time of it.

Shiney, I got my healthy eating habit back last week so I'm sure yours is on its way.

Just popped in to say I didn't manage to get to the gym but I have eaten healthily!

VinegarTits · 14/09/2009 20:54

hello everyone, sorry i haven't been around much, they have actually been making me do work, at work, them bastards
