Shiney's Low Fat Dairy Queens - TOTAL-ly Rockin' in the (Fat) Free World.

[SycIsTOTALLYFatFree]

People of the world, join hands, join our TOTALly fabulous healthy eating thread.

We are a group of MNetters who wish we lost a pound for every post we have made on this thread since our benevolent leader started her SHINEY threads many, many months ago now.

I am Syc, and I was once deputy although life has slightly got in the way in the last month or so. But, inspired by our recent TOTAL yoghurt bonanza, I'm back and on the wagon.

Join us, we are a friendly bunch but like to waste as many calories as possible through moving our digits very swiftly over the keyboards and posting like women possessed

All denominations here, so whatever way you want to lose weight, maintain or just focus on healthier eating, you will fit right in.

Nothing here yet, but my mum has got hers. I don't dare check my account, but shall wait and see what happens to you brave souls...

Texted DP to see how the bike pick-up was going and got a quite sweet text back, but it made me go . Either he has been sneakily fed some happy pills or he took a friend along for the ride and they are messing about - he would never normally say "can't wait to see you"...

Am I overly cynical?

Thought of another reason why he might be sweet-talking me actually - maybe he's hoping I'll be waiting in my underwear

Mmm, I loooooooooove codeine. It is scrumptious. I have a friend who was given codein after she broke a rib or two and she got horrible hallucinations from it, it's very strange. I just get pain relief and slight feeling of woo-ness.

Jaffa cake cakes in the oven

After having zero energy all weekend I feel so much better today (still have painful occassional cough, but energy is back) - normally if I hadn't gothome til 7 I would be on sofa imediately but I decided to make cakes instead. I think the contrast is tricking me into thinking I have mucho energy, when really what I have is some.

Good luck to all who are waiting for deliveries and refunds...

Evening

Had a difficult one with DD1 who doesn;t want to go to bed wearing a nappy (i am fed up with one or two changes of sheets 3-4 times a week). Plus i have broken my glasses as i have lost a screw (which has been loose for weeks). Harrumph

Sorry to hear of toothache people. It is the worst pain . I had an infected wisdom tooth when pregnant and could only take paracetamol. Went nowhere near it . Then i got prescribed AB's but they wouldn;t say if they were safe to take when pregnant

Trills - your first reaction is normally correct. Interesting to see what the real motivation was.

Feeling very fat tonight and drinking a beer

Oooh the likes of codeine would have me seeing things that were not there!

What cakes have you made Trillian?

Chocolate little cakes (y'know, in cake cases, fairy cake type things) with a blob of marmalade inside and I'm going ot top them with chocolate to make them like Jaffa Cakes.

Yes, I know Jaffa Cakes aren't made with chocolate sponge but it doesn't sound like a bad idea

Oh, really liking the sound of those. Saw a recipe once for a chocolate cake that was then covered with actual jaffa cakes on top, every inch of it. You had to use a liquer to soften the jaffas to make them stick to the cake.

oooh, have we all checked our TOTALly fab emails??

and i am so intrigues by your jaffa cake trills - how do you get the marmalade inside?? - is it before cooking or after?

I have not got any e-mails

Shiney, have you had a leaving do from work and did they buy you a nice prezzie? You don't sound like you are looking forward to Wednesday.....

bella - i got 2 Granted, one of them had my name wrong, but still......

my TOTAl stuff is coming wed night - and apparantly, "quite a few pots from across the range"

Who is delivering jet?

Thanks Shiney - have eaten cheese and mackerel pate. Need to get back on it tomorrow me thinks

I have been in my job for 15 a number of years and i can't imagine doing something new. However i'm sure you will have all the staff on side and pupils doing whatever you ask as they are scared of the ex copper impressed with your professionalism

No email here yet - what is the lowdown jet?

Shiney - i hope the new job goes well, and at you being a miserable cow! I thought that was my job

LOL at passing on your leaving present

No email.....

Racking brains for yoghurt recipe - i can't believe they are pitting us against each other

I have a recipe which i use TOTAL in all the time, but it is Ainsley's not mine. D'ya think plageurism matters?

i cant think of any new recipies - i think i will look at ....

Is Teddy staying at the same nursery and for the same length of time whilst you are at work?
