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!

OK, so bag pack is tomorrow.

Clue was when the bag packers turned up in Scout uniform, not school uniform.

Never mind.

Bag packers?

A PTA fundraising thing, I though it'd be good to do it with DS1, thought we'd miss it as we'd be in Midlands, then that was snowed off.
Turns out, we wouldn't have missed it anyway, as it is tomorrow.

I'm with Jaq- Shiney, you just need to take your specs off with this guys so he goes a bit blurry. You obviuosly like him. You even burst in here last night going all mushy- most unlike you

I agree with BOF and Jac.
Could you Gok the bloke, Shiney?
Mould him until he became more physically attractive to you?
Is there any potential?
Because he seems to float your boat with his personality, you don't chat to someone for 2 hours if they bore you.

Shiney - so bloody frustrating for you...that he is fab on the phone but ruins it by being birdy hop. Are you sure a make-over won't help - we would all help I'm sure A close relative of mine had a similar thing and did end up falling in love - she'd always gone for looks before and was amazed at how it worked out this time round.

Having reheated chilli today for lunch so hopefully it'll be even tastier than yesterday as I think they always taste better when they've had time to settle.

Shiney, I agree with BoF, Jaq, Lizzy and Helles .

Crap, I am in so much pain with something abdominal. I have to get work done. I have eaten and wish I hadn't. Bummerooney.

Make a choice shiney. either way you might regret it but if psychologially it is there you might grow to love the looks. got to start somewhere...

Shiney, I am with everyone else on his one I am afraid.....

Just gently mould him bit by bit into how you would like him to look.

C'mon, if you chatted on the phone for 2 hours last night then surely there is something there?

I reckon Shiney's going to spend so much time trying not to hurt this man's feelings that, by the time she gets up the guts to tell him to naff off, she'll have fallen head over heels in love with him and they'll walk off into the sunset like the end of a slushy film

When my mum first met my step-dad, she thought he was really ugly and couldn't understand how his wife could be married to him! His wife died and, through helping lots with his children, she fell in love with him and they've been happily married now for nearly 18 years!

Can anyone help me with my post in AIBU?

flam - I can't find it? can you do a link

I can't find it either. Did you namechange?

here

is anybody about? i need some quick advice about xfil

he has texted to say' can he and my xp pick ds up from nursery and take him to the grotto either tomorrow or thurs'

I feel really uncomfortable with him at the moment, and ds isnt in nursery this week because i took holidays so i could spend some quality time with him myself, am i being mean if i tell him no?

No you are not mean, if he is insistant could you say that he is welcome to join the two of you, would that be bearable VT?

Quietly stick to your guns, he needs to be subtly made aware that what he has been doing is out of order and that whilst he can maintain a relationship with DS, you and DP are the parents and take a certain amount of priority.

Ex DP sorry

No i don't want to see him because i am annoyed at him, if he says xp is going too then i believe him, but i just dont know if i should

i know he will have been pestering xp and i know xp too well he will have just said ask vinny, so that tells me xp is not fussed about taking him, and he has just told him to ask me to get him off his back

No, it's not mean. You hardly get to see him during the week usually because you are working so hard- it's absolutely fair enough to say "Sorry, but I've got things planned for us to do while I'm off work- he'll be seeing you with ex-p on blahdiblah day though. Happy Xmas!"

So just say that you would rather not, you have lots planned with DS, as like you say you have booked time off to spend with him. The time will fly and you deserve a break with your little dude.

Hiya ladies

Another hectic busy snowy day. Am eating toast with Lurpak that we treated ourselves to for Christmas after months on the low fat spread. Mmmmmm, gorgeous!

VT - yes, agree with others. Giving FIL the benefit of the doubt, it sounds like he is trying to do the old Grandad thing.....could he not come to yours and spend a bit of time there under your watchful eye, or is that a no-no?

Shiney, also agree with the other ladies....if you start to fall for him, the looks will fall into place and you won't even consider it to be a negative.....love is blind and all that Will FB you regards candles.

yank - meant to say - you can get baby nail files (!) - I ended up using those for a little bit after a similar occurence.

Vinny - as squeezy says - is there any middle ground? Or is he just too out of order?

Thanks ladies, i have just replied to him saying 'i have taken holidays so i can spend time with him myself and we have made plans, so you will have to make arrangements with xp to see him on boxing day'

I am just so annoyed with him, even my mum mentioned it today, she said that xfil told her that ds doesnt want to stay at xp's house because he is not allowed to go round, and he also told her that ds got in the car and said 'i love you grandpa' after he wouldnt stay at xp's house on sat

and whenever i ask ds if he loves daddy and grandma he says 'no i only love grandpa' effing bastard has been messing with my babies head i'm sure of it!

i dont think i could keep my thoughts to myself if i was to see him anyway

i can just imagine he has been saying things like' grandpa cant come to see you at daddy house because grandma doesnt like me anymore'

he that type of person, whenever he comes he always has something bad to say about her

anyway i have told him no now, so wont go on about it, just tell me to clack it if i start ranting
