Shiney the snowman, Was A Jolly Heathy Soul..

[BitOfFun]

Hey, a cornier title than the last one!

Welcome to the latest in a long line of the famous Shiney healthy eating threads. Do join in- it's open to all, and we just ask that you post as often as you can, and we'll support each other to get healthy and slim. 37 threads can't be wrong- jump in!

wasting, I'm tentatively hopeful that we've used up all of our bad luck for the year right at the start. Nothing bad happened today, and our hedge has sprung back to life after we knocked all the snow off it. Asbestos testing people coming tomorrow.

However, if you'd all like to place bets on what will break next that would probably be a quick earner. My money is on the washing machine.

I am sulking a little because I missed Syc. I was beginning to think she was merely the stuff of legend

If you are reading, Syc, I only started eating Total regularly after this thread. I too like the longlastingness but I'm less keen on that paper bit. I would quite like in in fromage frais sized six-packs (although appreciate this is v bad for the environment) and have yet to see the fabled 2% one that everyone here loved. The recipes on their website are great. It's often on offer in Tesco, which I like (feel as though I'm getting a bargain when I save 13p, or however much it is )

At least you're getting a breather at the moment though Yank. What result are you wanting from the asbestos test?

Hi Yank - just got a message saying got the money on paypal. You didn't need to give anything for packaging, that was kind. Hope you like it all (btw, its only ever been washed in ecover as DD & DS have sensitive skin and ecover is the only thing that doesn't set it off).

Chaos - aha . THere was me thinking it had some special ingredient in that cleaned bogs better, when in fact it is just crap to clean... er... crap, really!

tracey - how old is DD? I had to get my DD off just bf for nursery when she was about 9mths old. She would not take a bottle at all so we put her on a beaker and then topped up with lots of yoghurt and cheese for calcium.

Cat - DD will be 6 months in about a week so still purely bf.

My supply is good and I've just in the last week stop needing breast pads - hurrah.

God knows what she'll make of a bottle but am going to try as really want to go to this wedding. Its nearby so I could come back to do bedtime feed if necessary.

May try a cup though - good idea!

Trills- I could so eat some chips now.

oh i dont have shiney shiney hair, its just the flash from the camera

Let's ask BoF - she'll back me up. Shiney reflective 'cos I'm worth it' hair.

oh you that hair, yeah thats my wig

They were only thin chips, not good fat chips.

tracey - I started with the beaker (with a spout) at around 6mths I think, just to try and get her used to it. SHe actually drank better at that point though from a cup. She was ebf too. I wore pads for months with her as well, I used to wake up in lakes of milk for months! Also, with DS I found the First Years Breast Flow bottles were the best to interchange between bottle and breast (although I took the inside bit out of the teat that they have). Not cheap but good.

If we're talking about hair I bet noone can beat my lovely barnet (see my profile photo's)

well....if we have asbestos it means the whole ceiling has to come down and get re-done. If not, they will just patch it and re-skim the whole ceiling. So not really bothered either way, because at least I will have a flat ceiling instead of this horrid swirly textured crap.

The insurance guy seemed to be saying if we had asbestos in the walls too we might have to get a whole new kitchen, but I'm not clear on whether they would be covering all of it. That seems too good to be true. Will have to clarify that when we get the result (should be available in 1-2 days after the test).

So in short, not really sure what to hope for!

goodness MyCat.... that hairdo is hard to beat

DH unbelieveably did his 'are you on MN' catbumface thing, so I had to set him straight. Four days not on here is an eternity!

No, not sure what would be best. Still, you'll either get a new ceiling or a new kitchen, whoever pays for it.

Lovely hair MyCat - lots of volume!

Well, I am hungry.

So I'll go to bed.

Cheers Yank. It is rather lovely isn't it.
Funnily enough my DH just gave me a look and said 'thought you weren't going on tonight'. I wouldn't mind but he's watching Stargate on Sky, so hardly being the breat conversationalist! Hope you get the right result on the kitchen.

fabulous hair mycat

breat??? great

I like Stargate. Well, I did back in approx 1997-2002 anyway.

It's a tad Marge Simpson, but worth the effort

My DH was moaning because he wanted a snuggle, but he fell asleep before I got over to the sofa. Sending him to bed now, can't hear the TV when he snores. Bless, he's trying to wait up for me to finish expressing so we can go up together.

Yank - my sister had a leak in her bathroom and got a totally brand new bathroom fitted via her insurance. Very handy as they wanted to update it anyway.

Its snowed loads already here - so am snowed in yet again. Really very very dull now.

Georgi and Sazzles - you're both down my way - how goes the snow with you?

tracey - I'm v near Sazzles so must be by you too, it's snowing here, had about 1cm so far. It's fairly light. Hope it doesn't hang about too long for you.

Night all.

Trills - I love stargate, although not that fussed on Stargate Universe.

ANyway, I've def going to bed now. Night

Mmmm, lots of lovely snow here

There won't be enough to close the roads, but it will be 50/50 whether the nurseries are open.
