Come rain or come SHINE, we are always here

[TrillianAstra]

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 just get really arsey when people tut. If you want to say something to me, just fucking say it.

Yanks are 'direct'

May I have a Gruffalo cake as well, LL? Please

Yank, I read that and heard Ride of The Valkyries in the background... You don't sound like a bitch, but you do sound a bit under the weather. Time to treat yourself! Get Trills to prescribe it - she's a doctor.

Norma, my tummy is like loose crepe paper, and it's horrid. It's like granny under-chin skin. Bleeeeeuurgh. In my case, though, it's abssolutely my own fault for eating like some kind os crazed woman whilst pregnant with DC2. No strectch marks at all after DS1

I did think about doing an AIBU about it, but figured I would be in for a heap of abuse. They scare me over there!

I'm with you Yank

DH (PhD in geochemistry) loves to say 'I'm a doctor. I prescribe a tincture of gunpowder and brandy!' in a comedy posh accent.

DIB and Yank, just wait until I have finished this one tomorrow, eh?
YOu may change your minds.......

Right, off to bed.

Night all

Brilliant, Yank

That would (really, truly) have me laughing every time.

DIB, he also does a great Roly Birkin QC!

We are very silly most of the time. I nearly gave him an asthma attack from laughing yesterday, was doing my Benny Hill facial expressions.

Yank,fair play to you.
Can't stand inconsiderate people.
And totally agree...don't sit,huffing and puffing and tutting,come out and say it!!
Have just eaten sunflower seeds and cranberries.
And a ham and cheese sandwich.

Your house does sound very , Yank

Oh dear Yank-not fair play on nearly bumping off your DH

Sazz, ah yes, the neighbours will be talking today!

Ahhh The Benny Hill theme tune

DH has a trumpet, I bet he could work out how to play it fairly quickly. Normally when he picks it up he plays 'The Muppet Show' theme tune loudly.

He also likes to play heavy metal on his ukulele.

Thinking about all this, I've swung from being slightly annoyed at his lack of housekeeping skills to finding him quite endearing!

Wild mood swings, check.

AF must really be on the way

heavy metal ukulele makes me smile.
i dont get the acronym AF,could someone explain please

Evening!

Yank, you crack me up! I think you were entirely justified in your forthrightness.
Heavy metal ukelele sounds good. I think I nearly joined a punk band with a trumpeter once.

Sorry for everyone's bad luck and illing today.

I was lolling at the Shiney cookbook chat last night.

I've been being super busy and awesome for the last two days.
I've had a couple of biscuits, but I did make them.
Other than that we've been out for lots of walks and I've cooked from scratch etc.

I've also uploaded tons of photos on facebook.

DI, AF=Aunt Flo Never would have called it that before mumsnet

Yank - well done you with the tables. I would have done the same.

Lizzy, ermmmmm, well I just assumed that's how it would be done.... I don't know anything about gruffalos , so don't listen to me. I maybe would have done the brown fondant icing all over and then made furry bits with it - if you use a garlic press and put a ball of fondant in it and press it down, it comes out like worms which you can make as long or as short as you wish.

Right, had better go and get showered.

Morning all,

Yank that really made me laugh! Good on you I say

Lizzy a Gruffalo cake, I don't envy you having to make thatbut I do want to try some

DIB sorry you have the lovely crepe paper effect too, the things our bodies go through eh?

Hells how you doing this morning?

Shiney, how's you this morning? Need a stroke??

Weighed in & another 2lbs off this week so since I got really focused 6 weeks ago I've managed to shift a stone!! 38lbs off in total so far, that's more then DS weighs!Just goes to show that you cannot trust sneaky mid week weighs so I waon't be doing that again for another day or so

YAY Norma! YOu are doing so well, you look very trim in your FB pics of you and your scrummy DC on the beach, you must be really pleased with yourself.

Bella, I have a recipe and it says buttercream, I can do buttercream, I think the cake is for kids to make!!! DS1 will help me to decorate it tonight......

Yank, you and DH sound hilarious, would love to be a fly on the wall

Hi Wasting, well done for being super busy and awesome.

Shiney, hope you are feeling OK today, is it just a bit of the blues or is something wrong?

Vinny, how are you today?

I can't believe my youngest is going to be 4 yrs old tomorrow, it is making me very broody!

Aww thanks Lizzy, think I look slimmer then I am though the shadow that DD is casting makes me look thinner Ooooo do you think you'll have another baby Lizzy?

What is fondant, is it the same as royal icing? Actually that reminds me, I need to get an icing bag/pipe thingy

No more DC for me, Norma, I am barely coping at the moment as it is!
Maybe if we had a cleaner/housekeeper, suddenly got given a bigger house
Oh and someone else could carry and give birth to the baby.

I don't know what fondant is either, Bella sounds a bit professional at this cake making lark

LOL I hear you! Shop's shut for us too

Glad I'm not alone in the not knowing what fondant is

I'm cheating with DH's cake & buying it!
