Let it SHIIIIIII-IIINE, Let it Shine....waltzing about in rude good health like we are all in an M&S ad

[BiteOfFun]

Welcome to the latest in our series of healthy eating threads (26 and counting)!

The emphasis is on health (which is sometimes rude when we get chatting frivolously, as is our tendency), and weight loss where desired. I obviously don't desire it enough, as I am the same weight as when I started, but some of our regulars are mere shadows of their former selves ...

Do come and sign in here if you are with us, or want to join in- all welcome.

We try a variety of approaches, and there is always a lot of support and quite a few laughs along the way. Shiney is the head honcho round these parts, and we do get to be regaled with her embarrassing stories before the rest of MN, so that's always a big draw

Join us if you will!

Totally agree with what you said Squeezy. I think lots of people on MN feel the same.

Vasting - have you looked on the shiney recipe thread? I could do you a link if you like?

recipe thread

Great post, Squeezy.
Sums it up completely.
And, being really soppy and before I've even had a glass of wine, this thread is the first time I have actually felt like I had "connected" with MNers. I always posted and ran before and felt like an outsider.

Feel free to vomit, sorry

really?? 200 people??

I love this thread. I too am a RL shy person when meeting new people but this thread is very welcoming and doesn't judge if you make a few daft posts (which many other threads do imo).

Shiney- don't worry no rush. I'm not back in the office till Tuesday anyway. There probably is a strike anyway.

god Jac

that sounds horrendous!

I'm so sorry, it sounds like we are a really awfull family, but honestly. I hate this kind of stuff, I just want to live in my quiet little village, talking to the blue rinse brigade, and feeding the cows in the field whilst eating chocolate apples from the tree in my garden.

OMG, Jac
Why would her having another baby throw up the issue of contact? Sorry if I am being thick.
Surely with her history the baby would just be taken by SS straight away?
You and your DP are wonderful, you know. Those poor children.

Oh and I'm going to have that post removed before bed tonight, it's a little detail heavy.

Jac, you are NOT awful, not at all.
I used to think DH's family were so normal and "whiter than white" compared to my Soap Opera family. Until I found out about his cottaging Uncle.

liz - I presume that the new baby will be removed at birth as DD2 was, however, they can't comment on it due to confidentiality.

The reason it may bring up contact is because she is back talking to SS because of the pg where as before she just kept ignoring them. She has every right to ask for contact, just swear that I will move so bloody far away contact will be impossible . I would hate to move but my girls deserve better.

jac - she has the right to ask, but not necessarily the right to contact.

wont put too much on here, as i know you're deleting the post, but - from my social worker days, as well as my own experience (my birth mother sounds a lot like this one) - i think that there would be things you could do, should things get that far.

And you dont sound awful at all, you sound lovely, albeit stressed, trying to protect your family.

Ah, I see.
Would they grant contact though? Could they refuse her? I mean, she can't just abuse DC, abandon them and once they are settled and in a loving family then demand to see them and upset all of that, can she? Would SS let her see them?
That is horrendous.

Hells, having completely outed me do you think if you find my other hidy hole you could keep that one stum please. Thanks.

Love the image of you pretending to be lots of different people though. It is very true that you could cause lots of problems and chaos.

Jac hope things dont get to the state you fear.

I sometimes agree with not liking the thread feel sometimes. But the thread will go where it will and i just disappear until i am ready to return. secretly hopes for a hard frost to put away all those cocks. Posting is optional and the same is true in rl sometimes we dont always agree with how things go. we have the same choice, deal with it or move away from the situation. I am very very good and running moving away.

However i always seem to come back when ready as i enjoy the support of the thread and the people on here. Life isnt all roses.

Now that i have totally disgraced myself i shall go hide in the corner. throw me some spiders and vodka in time for halloween.

Blimey

Jetcock clearly knows her onions, hopefully it will be fine. There has been a lot of stuff in the media about children being adopted quicker etc in abuse cases, so politically I think the tide is going against mothers like her.

opps ignore that life isnt all roses bit. was talking to ds and didnt realise had typed it. scuttles away.

DEM< I think we all have phases where we don't post much on the thread.
Sometimes can't be arsed/don't want to admit to my bad eating/feel like I have nowt useful or interesting to add and I don't post for a wee while.
S'OK.
It's like a nice fluffy comfort blanket at times though

Hells, I have requested you on FB (last night!) and you haven't added me. I may have to stop being nice and SHOUT! I wanna see your gorgeousness too

DEM really sorry - I didn't mean to say something to offend you...I thought it was a good thing! I'll get my coat!

Lizzy - not sure what is up with my facebook but since early yesterday evening I can't get on my accont! So will be friends as soon as I can but please please don't expect great things from the pics. they were just being nice.

I think because the thread and it's "feel" were questioned.
We're just getting a bit defensive and protective of the Shiney Haven.

Jac - really don't know what to say - what a nightmare!
