Welcome to our 36th healthy eating thread, where we will renew any healthy eating resolutions with all the viguor that the Christmas munchies require...

We chat, keep each other on track, and monitor our goals together- some on the thread have lost shed loads of weight, some are running ridiculous distances. Some, of course (like myself and Shiney, our dubious leader) have been a bit, er, remiss really. But that can all change with a New Year!

Come and introduce yourself, old and new, and let's get Mumsnet's famous Shiney Healthy Eating Thread kicked off for 2010...

Thank you, got him up at 3 hours and he was grumpy and clingy - but then I had to go off to deal with a blocked toilet (lovely) (and why me?) so DP now has the pleasure of his company.
Bella I have occasionally resorted to switching off the modem box when too aggravated by someone's computer use.. ??

I told you, he loves you too much to stay away

Georgimama · 03/01/2010 16:15

Just so I don't have to trawl back through 35 threads, Shiny, could I have a precis of the men in your life?

traceybath · 03/01/2010 16:16

Shiney its time for 'I'm just not that into you' surely.

I am so tired - 5 months of sleep deprivation is beginning to get to me - when will she sleep through . . .

TrillianAstra · 03/01/2010 16:24

Men in Shiney's life:

penguin man - not since Easter

plumber man - offered to stretch things that most of us probably don't want stretching during a BoF-fueled texting marathon

Jonny - aka 'bird man' - great on the phone but lied about his age and is twitchy and weird in person (and drinks cranberry juice, shock horror )

TrillianAstra · 03/01/2010 16:25

did I get them all?

Jonny is clearly being driven mad by your lack of interest in him. Works every time On the wrong men

TrillianAstra · 03/01/2010 16:39

As Mr Collins said to Elizabeth, it is the custom of delicate young women to pretend to be uninterested in a suitor in order to further inflame their desire.

Err, maybe, but not this woman, and not with you.

Sorry to have been AWOL for a few days everyone!

Today is my 1st wedding anniversary with DH, and as a present I have received a bowed kitchen ceiling with water coming through it. Supposedly the home insurance people are going to find someone to deal with it today, but I am seriously doubting it after 4 hours of waiting for return calls.

They need a leak detection team or something because there is no obvious leak from under the bath or the toilet. Water is off, heating is off, we hadn't had showers so are feeling rather smelly/greasy. Cancelled anniversary dinner for tonight.

Healthy eating has predictably gone awry. I think we're going to order a curry for delivery if we haven't given up and decamped to a hotel to keep warm!

How's everyone's new year going?

YanknCock · 03/01/2010 16:42

Shiney, can you tell your plumber he can stretch anything he wants if he can do a callout on a Sunday and get my heating/water back on?

VinegarTits · 03/01/2010 16:45

oh yank how awful, and on your anniversary too

i would defo decamp to a nice cosy hotel, have a long hot bath then order room service, or go the restaurant

Oh no Yank, how rubbish.

If it's your anniversary today and you had DS in the autumn (?) then you must have got going with that pretty quickly!

Trillian you are very young but no point pretending to be innocent

TrillianAstra · 03/01/2010 16:50

Innocent? Me? Where did I ever say that?

I remember when people used to actually fake their wedding dates to pretend to their children that they were conceived on the right side of the ceremony!
However, having actually done the maths this time, I can see none of this applies in Yankn's case!

TrillianAstra · 03/01/2010 16:57

Haha, no I wasn't suggesting a shotgun wedding, but maybe a honeymoon baby

IggiBurns · 03/01/2010 16:58

You have to have SEX on your honeymoon? I thought I just got to lie in bed and eat?? Oh, I'm having second thoughts about this now.

TrillianAstra · 03/01/2010 17:00

I think if you don't the marriage can be declared null...

Georgimama · 03/01/2010 17:10

Only if one of you complains. I don't think the hotel staff are likely to check...
