Shiney Merrily On High, This Christmas Food Is Healthy

[BitOfFun]

No more eating lots of pie, we're staying fit and wealthy...etc etc

Welcome to this seasonal healthy eating thread- all welcome, and the only fat birds will be the turkeys

Join the festive chat, and we'll keep each other on the straight and narrow!

ould think he was 22 not 42 - oops pressed post then by mistake.

Bella, hopefully he's learned his lesson!

Yank, never mind. They cut down gradually as the solids start, so hopefully you'll be able to adjust. It took me a little while to get used to not having 2nd breakfast.

Oh dear. Men can be idiots sometimes. My dad has only just extricated himself from the batshit crazy woman who was the final nail in the coffin for my parents' marriage. She was/is a sociopath (not exaggerating, truly she is). Took my dad ages to figure out she was lying to him, stealing from him, and had basically ruined his life. I was very happy to help him start divorce proceedings (he'd married her because he needed health insurance, and supposedly she was rich and dying of cancer--neither of which were true of course).

Ah well, he's with a lovely woman now that he's been friends with for years. And my mum is remarried happily too. Just wish this psycho hadn't put them through so much pain. She is still trying to apply for credit in my dad's name, blackmail him, and stay in touch by claiming she's got stuff of his/mine. I would happily run her over with my car. She is just damn lucky I don't live in the U.S. Never would have gotten away with so much if I had.

Bella, I hope your brother can see how lucky he is to get a second chance!

I think his brain is in his trousers sometimes! Squeezin, yes the Thai lady (she wasn't thai, but claimed to co own a hotel in Phuket with her brother)

Anyway, I will be glad when all the bloody festivities are over and there are no chocolates and festive drinks to gorge on. I can feel myself getting fatter by the day tis not good. When the kids leave school tomorrow at 1.05, there are mince pies and refreshments for the staff....

Yank - definitely before and after pics!

Evening all, we have snow!
Shiney, sorry about the date, cranberry juice and bird impressions? Doesn't sound v shaggable.

Bella, your brother is very lucky to be given a second chance, hope he realises this

Yank, post pics, post pics!

Will be glad when this week is over, it's all party party party. For the Ds's, not me unfortunately.

Tis snowing here and laying. DS2 is supposed to be doing the 2nd performance of his play (he is doing the music and then for the 3rd part of the play, lays on the stage as a sheep) I am in two minds as to whether he will be going out tonight... so a teacher could do the music and nobody will miss him from the stage, he is also full of cold. It starts at 7 and goes on for 1 hr 40mins...

Shiney, how bloody lovely. Am made up for you!

How lovely, Shiney

I offered to get a present for someone, but haven't heard anything at all, have been checking my spam etc

Shiney, maybe now I understand why wifey no 1 has been like she has over him seeing his children - do you remember I posted about it... like I said before, brain in pants.

Evening all

Bella bloody crap about your db, families eh? mine are bonkers, i call my db and sil 'the ozzboures', kids and dogs everywhere and they are mad a frogs

Shiney how lovely, i too have been nominated, mnhq emailed me to say they have been sneakily trying to get my address with no luck so please can i send it i dont know who nominated me but thankyou so much you have made me well up, havent had any gift yet, but just to be nominated was enough for me

Ooooh, I just love it when people get nice surprises

Shiney? i am honored and touched

Think i might have to HUG you a few times for that!

I hope nobody nominates me then- I see see the thread now that somebody will start: Who's Encouraging These Bloody Troublemakers?

Aw Shiney and Vinny, that is absolutely lovely. Stuff like that warms my heart

Bella - families eh? You sound like you have been a really good support to him and i hope he appreciates it. Also, hope that is his ex wife gives him a second chance, that he won't mess it up

BOF i got your christmas card and i love it! it is most unique and very stylish, its my favorite card out of all of them (apart from the one the finster made with glue and cotton wool everywhere)

I have been pants and not posted you one back though

of course you are deserving, only jealous people would think that you were not

me on the other hand, my hardship is of my own doing, i just love to waste money and never learn my lessons about getting into debt

at 'these bloody troublemakers'.

Evenin' all! Decorating Christmas tree. Lights are too short. Sending DH out with DD3 to get more, and hoping that she falls asleep on the way home.

I'm filling a travel guide with post-its cos one of my friends is planning on going ot New Zealand and I spent January there

Later will be drinking mulled wine.

awww shiney and
vinny - you soooooo deserve it, you (amongst others) are the lovely people who keep this thread together, and encourage and support those of us who need it

Bella - that sounds complicated [fmm] hope xmas turns out ok!

we have snow too - junior just said,"good job we dont have a car at the moment as you wont drive"

too right, had a minor crash about three years ago, scared the pants off me - though no serious injuries thank goodness! But, i did have the world's worst passenger in the car - the girls nana. She was a nervous wreck in any car, and the one and only time i manage to get her in my car with me driving - i crash

Ooops she never let me forget it!
