Welcom, welcome to the mumblemumble well, some large number thread for the healthy eating crew.

Shiney is our leader, but all creeds are welcome here, from the -50lbs club (whoop whoop!) to those who would like to lose 50lbs, to those who would fade awya if they lost 50lbs and just want to eat more healthily and/or chat about cock.

Many, I'm sure! I used to like Robbie's Bar on Leith Walk, and The Walk Inn if I needed a drink at 6am . Port O'Leith if in need of madness.

YanknCock · 01/03/2010 21:37

Lizzy, sorry you're feeling down. Hope spinning tonight has picked you up a bit?

MyCat, that first wax after you've not been for a while is a complete bastard, I am scared on your behalf. Would it be unacceptable to down a bottle of wine beforehand for its analgesic properties?

Norma, oh dear, the poor cake!

BOF, sounds like a lovely walk with the dog, what kind is s/he?

tracey, glad you got a night out!

VT, at the 'cock car'

bella, which WW meal was it (so I know to avoid)? Re: the bike, unfortunately I think you probably have to offer to pay for another one. Does your DS get an allowance you can dock so he pays it back gradually to you?

jet, I think it's always nice to feel needed regardless of the circumstances--at least there is something you can do for him to help out.

For our cookbook, I can supply assembly intructions for various crap American things

Sazzles, my XH was a horrific cook, nothing he made was edible. DH2 is fortunately better but doesn't do it very often (because I am bossy and fussy).

Clothes:
Old Navy Jeans
Adidas trainers
Evans tshirt with baby spit on it
Mothercare bra
Fashion Bug pants (cheap U.S. chain)
Hair adorned with grout reviver from last night

Dinner was salmon fishcakes, wild rice and broccoli with creme fraiche/dill/lemon sauce.

DH on way home from meditation group, got to make it look like I was doing something while he was gone and not just yakking on the phone to my mom and MNing!

TrillianAstra · 01/03/2010 21:40

That is doing something Yank!

Yank, it was chicken with veg and dumplings - yuk, the dumplings were vile. Yeah, DS2 does get an allowance - 2 quid a week, so he is going to be paying for the damn thing for ever more! Anyway, DH will take him round to my friends tomorrow evening for him to apologise and to offer money.

YanknCock · 01/03/2010 21:47

Yes, but I must score points for when I next want him to do something! Then I can say 'but I did x while you were off at meditation group having a nice relaxing time....' and he will be compelled to do whatever I ask without complaint

NormaSknockers · 01/03/2010 21:49

Well comeing from you Bella that is praise indeed Easy done with the cookie, hard to resist sometimes isn't it?

Lizzylou · 01/03/2010 21:50

Evening all, finally got to gym to do some abs/weights, then 10 mins fat wobbling then spin class.
Spin class was v good, was v perked up by the use of A-Ha "Take on me", think I was the only one having lustful thoughts about Morten Harket, the others were waaay too young to know the song. Made a nice change from Lady Gaga and the other banging tunes.

YOur dinner sounds nice, Yank.

Jet, that is a lovely thing to do for your exfil.

Bella, what a conundrum, but yes think the bike needs replacing, I'd make DS2 pay towards it, even if he had to ebay stuff (am I too harsh?).

Shiney cookbook sounds fab, am wondering what the heck I'd have to offer though.

NormaSknockers · 01/03/2010 21:51

coming

NormaSknockers · 01/03/2010 21:55

I'm off to bed, can't keep my eyes open!

Nighty night all

bellavita · 01/03/2010 22:00

Lizzy, I used to love spinning to this - A little Less Conversation - fab for getting the old adrenalin going.

bellavita · 01/03/2010 22:00

Night Norma, sleep tight.

DreamsInBinary · 01/03/2010 22:02

Glad you are feeling better, LL.

Hooray for Yank's roundup

I am wearing
Black wide leg trousers (Gap)
Black cashmere poloneck
Black bra (Freya)
Black pants & socks (M&S)
Black patent brogue heels

I ilke black

iggi999 · 01/03/2010 22:03

BOF at 6am drinking! Been to Robbies, there was a fight. Been to Port O'Leith, someone threw bottle at window. Are you sensing a theme here?

Am not listing clothes as still in work clothes. Am I only person who doesn't change? Suppose it's bit like sitting in school uniform all day.
Lizzy I saw AHa when a teenager, Morten slowly removed his waistcoat on stage, a formative moment for me

TrillianAstra · 01/03/2010 22:06

My work is not v formal, so I don't have clothes that are worth changing out of (no suit or similar). I havbeen trying to dress more officey to help my brain be in professional mode.

DIB is there a reason you are all in black?

BofF - you could never be as rough-as-arsholes - you is one classy bird

I only ever change out of my work clothes to get into my pj's. I like black too.

TrillianAstra · 01/03/2010 22:09

My arsehole isn't rough at all thanks v muchly.

DreamsInBinary · 01/03/2010 22:10

Am in work clothes, Trill, and I nearly always wear black. Sometimes grey, if I'm feeling snazzy

iggi999 · 01/03/2010 22:12

Sometimes I change out of work clothes 'coz then I can wear them again tomorrow [lazy slattern face]

DreamsInBinary · 01/03/2010 22:14

Have removed heels and am now wearing less-than-lovely navy slippers - an xmas present from PIL.

Do I sounds like a very shit sex line

DreamsInBinary · 01/03/2010 22:15

sounds? Sound.

bellavita · 01/03/2010 22:15

Where is Shiney tonight? Is she talking to her new man do you think?

bellavita · 01/03/2010 22:16

A classy sex line DIB!

DreamsInBinary · 01/03/2010 22:16

I imagine her 'what I'm wearing' is considerably more saucy.

DreamsInBinary · 01/03/2010 22:19

I do hope she doesn't slip into horny-plumber mode
