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.

I once saw a cartoon where a man was saying to his wife 'I've done the vacuuming, where's my medal'. The look on the wifes face was one we can all picture. In a couple of months time I'm going back to work full time and DH will be staying home. He seems to think he'll have time to fit golf in as well as all the housework, managing his new business and converting the garage. Bless him!

Ear still sodding hurts, even after 2 paracetomol. I'm watching daytime TV in a bid to numb myself. Just caught some of Jeremy Kyle. Awful stuff and why is it that everyone on there is ugly as sin? (or they are when I flick onto it for 3 seconds).

MyCatIsABastard · 02/03/2010 13:54

PS , sorry ladies for not catching up on what is what properly. I will do later, it's just I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself right now.

Aww Mycat, hope you feel better soon.

Lovely bikini Sazz, sorry I forgot I had a discount code, Trills, still £7.50 is good, eh?

Sazz, We are going to Southern Britanny in late July, I just hope I can wear the sodding thing and also look good in it as well.

Tracey, is there any gym/class nearby that has a creche?

Oh and my sex drive is nothing like it used to be, 2 DC put paid to that.

Bella, I hadn't thought of cover ups for pool side chic, hmmmm.
I haven't had a pool/beach holiday for years, last time was 6.5 years ago but I was 4mths pg and time before that was 12 years ago. We always went on exploration type holidays pre-DC

hellsbelles · 02/03/2010 14:01

Sazz - nice tankini. And agree on the reaction we should give our DH's!

Cat - have you been to the drs? I can't bear ear pain....you really need antibiotics don't you?

MyCatIsABastard · 02/03/2010 14:06

hells, I'm going to docs later. When I phoned this morning they had no appts til Friday so I said I'd call tomorrow for an emergency appt. Then thought I'd talk to the doc on the phone today instead. When I phoned back to book that I must have sounded so feeble they decided to book me in this afternoon to see the doc. I'm hoping they'll just prescribe me antibiotics and all will be well. I thought it was a spot in my ear, but it has got worse and now the bone behind my ear on my head (iyswim) is sore to the touch and I can't lie on that ear in bed.

I have consoled myself with KFC and smarties for lunch.

OOh, that is nice, Sazz.
There is a £10 off £30 code and also maybe a 20% code as well, Sazz, check the promotional codes threads, always Boden codes there!
They are daft, Boden, I got some stuff for the boys and just used the code twice in 2 seperate orders, can't believe they let you do that.

mwah, mwah.....

tis sunny...Yayyyyyy!!!!!

MitsubishiWarrioress · 02/03/2010 16:23

Lizzy..... things sound trying, I wish I could give some sage advice that would help but I fear I am a long way off from being in that position.

Dittany is well informed but makes me . I have just hidden a thread with her in because it was upsetting me so much.

I have a gorgeous brand new swimsuit that fitted me after all the weight I lost but I need some bits shaving off at the moment.

MyCat, I hope you are OK... that sounds draining, and VT... have you thought about a check up yet? Something to get you on an even keel. Although I don't think they prescribe holidays, good men, healthy injections into the bank or elimination of stressy Exes and IL's [HMM]

I am kick boxing tonight, and have been virtuously good today. I might have to have one more cup of tea though. Herbal stuff can be a bit

Jet.... I have been up to the Angel of the North, but now I have a lovely excuse to come up and see it again.....
My favourite Gormly piece isThe Field
I have seen it twice and will never get fed up of doing so.

As a painter I am actually more inspired by sculpture, especially mahoosive pieces that just blow me away.

Think of Mamazon, DEM, Syc and Squeezy and other missing souls a lot so if you are lurking.. and

I did two short runs today. About a mile and I want to start doing it timed and improve my time as I don't think I will be doing distances for some time.

bellavita · 02/03/2010 16:53

Sazz that dress is just the thing I had in mind - but sadley, I cannot justify the cost I look dreadful emerging from the pool..

Vinny, did we look the same or different in your dream. Sometimes, when I dream, it is the same people but they have different faces. Hope we didn't frighten you anyway (hope it wasn't a nightmare!)

It is Yr7 parents evening here at the mo and as you walk through the door they have set a reception up for parents evening specifically - which is manned, but I have had I don't know how many parents walk in and come over to me and say they have lost the list of teachers they are seeing... I am trying to ignore and give them evil looks as they approach!

bellavita · 02/03/2010 16:53

sadly (doh, it has been a tough day!)

YanknCock · 02/03/2010 16:58

Lizzy, much sympathy for snoring DH keeping you awake--I know what it's like! Agree about you needing set breaks too. Doesn't matter who makes more money, you are both working hard and deserve some rest/time out.

Fanny, I love the sound of an all weather stripey hat!

Alice, could the pain be round ligament pain? I'd never heard of it, but when I got it I nearly took myself off to A&E at one point. Fortunately talked to a friend who'd had the same and DID take herself to A&E!

Trill, well done on the run.

VT, how's your blood pressure normally? High BP can give you headaches I think? Working on a computer all the time can give you bad headaches too.

MyCat, hope you've got hold of antibiotics by now!

I've never worn a bikini in my life, and I highly doubt I ever will. I like my pasty white fish belly just fine, thanks

Sazz, I have to praise DH for every little thing he does (which I think should just be bloody common sense), otherwise the balance of nagging vs. praise shifts too far and he stops hearing me. It irks me to no end that he just doesn't 'see' mess. I do not put things on the stairs for him to step over, I put them there so the next person going up takes them. But of course he has a moan when he trips over the stuff on the way back down

bella, being surrounded by American accents weirds me out now. Somehow without realising it I shifted to thinking English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish accents were 'normal'. Hope you get through the parents' evening ok.

I have been out fighting against injustice, rudeness, selfishness, naughtiness, and neglectful grandparenting today--have told off two grandmothers and one small child. I have had some pain in my left side recently. Perhaps I've ovulated and this is PMT???

TrillianAstra · 02/03/2010 17:10

So, food list for today? I ate icecream last night.

Today:
3 cups of tea
yoghurt with honey and raisins
leftover lasagne (smallish last bit) with cherry tomatoes
about 5 cherries
small glass of smoothie
one cheddar biscuit (like mini cheddars only not mini - actually I might jave another)

How about ebay for tunicy light dresses to wear near the pool?

Hi all.
Enjoyed the intro to my course...its about unleashing hidden talents in women who are isolated,farming,rural women and single parents. its not a set of strict goals,more organic than that.Not sure where it will end up tbh. Its a new thing for me but it felt good to be part of something productive.
Re. the bikini talk,we live near the beach and the people I go with are instructed every year to visualise Ursula Andress in the Bond movie when I emerge from the sea coughing and spluttering and removing my bottoms from my backside.

bellavita · 02/03/2010 18:17

Yep, good idea Trills on re ebay and tunicy light dresses... actually I have a dress to ebay, will sort that the weekend.

Roast beef dinner tonight, roast spuds (non for me cos I am having a glass of wine instead), cabbage, brocs, carrots and gravy.

MyCat we bought that card for FIL for his birthday, the man was standing by the hoover with his arms in the air waiting for his medal

Alice how did you get on at your appt?

Lizzy how you doing this evening? No I was very very good & only tasted a teeny, tuny bite of DHs slice of the carrot cake. I packed half off to MIL, a big slab to my friend down the road & the rest the DC & DH ate

Vinny how's your headaches?

Fanny sorry you didn't get to the beach but thanks for spurring me on, took the DC down today & it was lubberly!

NormaSknockers · 02/03/2010 19:29
