Welcome all- old and new- this is our fifty-something Healthy Eating thread, where we chat, support each other's ascent into vibrant slinkiness full of bright eyes and glorious glowing skin etc etc...

Post as much as you can, and you'll be sure to catch the gossip and the gamut of human emotion that make up the Shiney threads. They have grown from one woman's noble quest to ditch curly-wurlies for breakfast into a veritable Mumsnet phenomenon,which has actually seen some of us lose rather a lot of weight and get much healthier...

Not me- I am still trying to get there, and have a permanent cold, but hey, let's not split hairs: there are other regulars who are a positive inspiration! So jump in and find us again, or join us anew, and follow whatever approach suits you.

have you seen this listing?

bellavita · 22/03/2010 20:00

hells, I really have no idea..

hellsbelles · 22/03/2010 20:21

I'm too innocent for connections of warm scones and mantools

That listing is insane. I assumed it must be a disgruntled dumped x - listing her boyfriends car? but it appears from the comments it's not! I"m tempted now. shall I bid

MitsubishiWarrioress · 22/03/2010 20:23

WT.....? errrrrrrrrr..... yes, facetiousness of the highest order I hope...

Mmmmm 'mantool' I like the sound of that!

dawntigga...are you easily distracted by priddy things as well?

about DS iggi, he needs praise and positive reinforcement and his energy diverting....

tries to jump on jet but is too slow.......

bellavita · 22/03/2010 20:31

Gwan then hells

Oooh one of my fave progs is on - Maserchef.

hellsbelles · 22/03/2010 20:33

iggi - had a peek - you look gorgeous and the dress is perfect.

And about the way the nursery are acting. I had a few feedbacks like that about DS in the early days but now it's only good I hear. As I didn't believe the bad I try not to completely believe all the good!

Do you think it's worth booking a chat with someone to find out more rather than get these awful snippets of feedback?

Right = have to go and watch 24 with DH. See you all later.

VinegarTitsOnaDiet · 22/03/2010 20:33

Bella

how did you manage to get the listing of the car im bidding on!

thought i'd put you off the send with the fake mini link

VinegarTitsOnaDiet · 22/03/2010 20:34

scent

bellavita · 22/03/2010 20:39

I just knew it was the car for you Vin

iggi999 · 22/03/2010 20:48

Thanks. They talk as if he's the worst boy in the nursery, when I get together with women with the same age of children he is no different from them. Don't think his nursery staff are very patient.
So Vinny, are you going to accessorise the car? Nice furry dice?

Lizzylou · 22/03/2010 21:01

Aw Iggi, don't worry am sure he is fine, I find nursery staff can be quite negative about lively boys, from experience

YOu look stunning in your dress, just gorgeous and if you smile that lovely cheeky smile all day (which I suspect you will), doubly fab Am all excited for you!

Have had a great spin class, the instructor asked me to help the new young man on the bike next to me. He looked quite nice actually, was wondering if he ever travelled to where our single thread ladies live.
Then he couldn't stay the pace, he sort of gave up.
I didn't think this boded well, so I didn't pass on any emails
Had a fat wobble after and then rushed to buy some stuff for DS1's packed lunch.
But am not even vaguely tired now

YanknCock · 22/03/2010 21:08

iggi, do you think the nursery staff would have been as aggressive about it if it had been you going in there instead of your DP?

MrCock.....well....my pet name for him on here says it all really

Watching Gavin & Stacey xmas special as I think we missed it first time around.

I am loving this catchup TV thing and the V+ box. Have watched two episodes of Glee and one of Newswipe, and set loads of things to record that I will never have time to watch (but like the idea that they're there when I want them).

Alicetheinvisible · 22/03/2010 21:09

Evening

Bella - that did make me giggle

Iggi - they obviously have something against him, i would definitely investigate further. You look lovely in your dress

I want to eat. I literally cannot stop eating. I know i don't need this amount of food (i doubt anyone does) but i just feel constantly starving

iggi999 · 22/03/2010 21:14

Thank you all for the advice & compliments.
I think they do treat me differently, though can't see why as DP is the regular nursery dropper/picker up. He has now been ranting for several hours about it!

bellavita · 22/03/2010 21:15

Iggi, dress is lovely and so are you

Blimey how can the nursery staff say that about any 2 year old? Good job they never looked after DS2 then when he was little.

VinegarTitsOnaDiet · 22/03/2010 21:16

Iggi your dress is fab and you look gorgeous!

But i have to tell you i am very very that you have a camper van, i love it

Alicetheinvisible · 22/03/2010 21:19

Cheers Bella

Look at Vinny with her new mini, bidding on the chav mobile and now wants a camper. Some people just want it all

I am eating a bowl of shreddies

Lizzylou · 22/03/2010 21:20

Iggi, I would ask for an appointment to talk to the Nursery manager/leader whoever.
It is not their place to be negative about your son, they should be engaging and inspiring him.

I was told that DS2 was a "right tinker today" by one of the Preschool staff. Another member of staff came up to me and told me that he wasn't, he just didn't want to do one particular activity (he really knows his own mind does my youngest, and is very stubborn).

iggi999 · 22/03/2010 21:27

Merci, think I will make appointment to save DP from going ott and getting DS banned from nursery! They do tell me stuff like I have to sort it our at home (eg he didn't sit still during story time - this being stories with one person reading to a group, not one to one like he's used to - and loves- with me.)
I have the patience that comes from dealing with other people's children, I guess I expect the nursery staff to have it too!
Vinny a camper is the best thing ever (when it goes). I am (yes, I know, a wedding reference in every post!) using it to get to ceremony etc. It will have bows on it.
"Tinker" is a derogatory term regarding travellers, and no-one in education should be using it. So tell her that next time!

bellavita · 22/03/2010 21:27

Where is our leader tonight? Trying every outfit on in her wardrobe and then discarding do you think? She has a hot date dontcha know

MyCatIsABastard · 22/03/2010 21:28

Iggi, lovely lovely dress. You look super. ANd lovely camper van too (we used to have a white high top T2 bay window. We called her Marilyn. She was lovely).

I agree with Lizzy about your DS nursery. I would be talking to the manager about it and if your not happy and you think DS isn't either then consider moving him.

VinegarTitsOnaDiet · 22/03/2010 21:29

i totaled my points wrong today, have just checked again and was 1 point to much, so now have 2.5 left

if i have 2 slices of medium toast, with very thin layer of Philadelphia light and marmite, will that be over 2.5 points? i dont think it will, as bread is 1 point each, philliy will be about 0.5 if i use a scraping, and marmite is 0, but want to be sure

MyCatIsABastard · 22/03/2010 21:30

I may have rather over used 'Lovely' in my last post there.

VinegarTitsOnaDiet · 22/03/2010 21:30

maybe i should have 1 slice of toast just incase? i am starving though, i cant sleep when i am hungry

MyCatIsABastard · 22/03/2010 21:31

Vin, I have toast with sliced tomato on it and lots of salt, no butter or cheese etc, although you can put on worcs sauce. That way its only a cpl of points.
