Auld Lang Shine- step into 2010 healthy, wealthy and wise!

[BitOfFun]

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...

They are cheaper with fingers in

Brora cashmere gloves are £25, they charge you for chopping the fingers off and call them wrist warmers = £32

Just been on your S&B thread shiney.

Have been good so far today but clueless as to what to cook for dinner later as fridge quite empty.

Have been busy doing housework and ironing - I'm one of those unusual people on mn who actually irons clothes.

Have also ordered graze thing and signed up for a riverford veg box.

Oh and started looking for a house - we're renting at the moment having sold ours about 18 months ago and have decided want to buy this year.

Brora sale starts on the 11th in case anyone else wants wristwarmers

Traceybath i iron clothes too (you may have seen my ironing thread a while back?) and Bella does

People who dont iron are crumpled and in denial about it

Riverford are fab, tracey. We've had them for nearly a year now. It's great how much you can tweak them to match what you actually want.

Whereabouts do you live? We wanted to move this year, but we've just decided we'd rather stay here and make this house work better for us than spend any extra money DH has on a larger mortgage and be int he same position we're in now lifestyle-wise. We rented until we bought this house, and actually bought this one from our landlady - try before you buy!

VT, I remember your thread and think about it often when wearing my non-ironed but also non-crumpled clothes! I just buy things that don't need ironing and iron the few things that do. So

Vinegar - I remember that thread . I actually don't mind ironing - its one of the better chores.

Flamingo - I'm just outside Bath and want to stay in this area. I love looking at houses but hate all the mortgage palaver. But am getting fed up of rented house - want to have decent kitchen/bathroom etc.

Just asked DS1 what he'd like in a new house - his reply 'a private swimming pool'. He's 5.

Poor boy like his mother he has champagne tastes but babycham budget.

"People that don't iron are crumpled and in denial about it" - fab Vinney, just fab

Shiney, where do you find these sites? Do you just sit and google all day every day?

and I do too Vinny.

And shiney - I love cashmere anything - I didn't know such wonders as cashmere wristwarmers existed. You have tempted me.

I think I scared off Georgi probably with my useless advice on how to join the thread.

Jet - I missed your thread - I'm sorry. But how many lovely offers of help you got on here. Hope that resolves the issue (even though I don't know much about it!)

Still sticking to my south beach. I'm not allowed to weigh myself yet but I can feel that I am getting a bit slimmer - took DS to a film and then wagamama - and it was rubbish having to eat the soup without all the lovely noodles.

Back to work t/m - actually quite looking forward to it!

Shinee I think the're gorgeous. But I'd get the wool for a fiver, knit hem mself and spend the £27 on make-up.

No snacks so far. Feeling ver snackee.

I remember Vin's thread. At t end I agreed wih her. I still haven' ironed anthing, but I feel bad abou it now. :-)

Have returned from the Arctic exploration, it is far harder once I have both boys with me. DS1 is fab, just runs off in the snow and ice, DS2 is like a wobbly newborn foal the minute his feet hit the snow, so have had great arm workouts holding him up.

Shiney, I live up North, it is blinking freezing here, my fingers are what get cold, not my bloody wrists? Cannot see the point of the wrist warmers, gorgeous as they may be.

Well, I think I'm near the end of this stomach bug/indigestion/whatever the hell it is. I now just feel like I overdid my stomach muscles at the gym, and am thinking I should manage a dinner later, albeit a small one

they are lovely fingerless gloves wrist warmers shiney - but i think i would have to go with the mutilated socks option

Mini has been really well behaved at nursery today and is all set to go back tomorrow - so things must have gone well! But, as she left her glasses on a train last week, she did struggle a bit, but not as much as now as we have been to the opticians where she had drops! Her eyes look huge, and watching her trying to focus on something is really funny

But, her eyesight (long sighted) is "markedly worse" since her last check 6 month ago, with a slight turn noticable. Junior had to wear a patch for years (few hours each day) so it looks like mini is following in her big sisters' footsteps Back in 3 months, but she is happy as she is getting some rather groovy pink dame edna style glasses in a couple of days

Oh, and item 1 ticked off stress listpgrin]

Oh yes I've heard of Brora - just not the infamous wrist warmers. Berry sounds a bit cheerful for me. I have to get black or grey to match 99.9% of my wardrobe

I'm with Flamingo, no ironing here! I don't buy stuff that needs it, and I hang things to dry on hangers and smooth them out so they're not crumpled. I could be deluding myself, but I really don't care. It was hard enough to transition from having a giant American tumble dryer to doing it this way, I'm not about to start ironing as well!

i only iron the stuff that needs it, and very little does.

every now and then i'll find something thats a bit crumpled and i just ...hide it at the bottom of the wardrobe

Spag bol for us tonight, but what I have done is taken a portion of the sauce out (so we are not all greedy and scoff it all and will use this for lasagne at a later date) and I will have an itsy bitsy portion with carrots and Shiney's fave - sprouts. As much as I love salad it is far too cold for it.

I'm coming in, I'm wearing wristwarmers (Arctic), and no, I don't iron.

I'm on the '2 stones by March' thread, but need as much help as I can get, especially since I realised (courtesy of poster on other thread referring to her own vital staistics,) that my thigh measures roughly the same as my waist

Exercise is out for me at the moment, so it's healthy eating and laying off the sauce all the way. Looking forward to reading the thread.

can we talk about more ironing please.

just been on a blow job thread and im getting myself all sweaty palmed.

wouldn't mind but im cooking dinner so cant sneak off for a quickie either

sorry phase, how rude of me.

im new to the thread too but i just jump in and bore people.

right so for dinner im having, chicken breast, new pots with garlic and herb, and green beans.

sound ok?
