This is our 50000 (or summat like that) thread.

Some of us do wW, some do the Lord Ford and there may even be a little bit of South Beach in here too!

If you have loads or a teeny tiny bit of weight to lose or even if you just want to eat healthy then this could be the thread for you.

Mittz your poor DS. Can he keep any liquid or anything down? Definitely get a DR out.

Bella - your boys always sound so angelic

Have calmed down a bit now. Friend is coming up for the day tomorrow. I'm sure it makes sense to have car repaired seeing as i do so few miles now, than getting another second hand car that could break iyswim? Have spent a lot of money this morning, so it feels even worse. I feel guilty about needing new shoes now

Alicetheinvisible · 02/06/2010 12:25

What took 9 months?

bellavita · 02/06/2010 12:35

Alice, don't feel guilty about needing new shoes. Probably better to get it repaired (better the devil you know and all that!)

My boys might sound angelic, but believe me.... they are far from it!

Is there any evidence that being a drama queen causes strokes?

Alicetheinvisible · 02/06/2010 12:41

that is what i thought about the car really. They have just dropped it back. I actually feel sorry for my car

Hi Trills, sorry wasn't ignoring you, just seemed to xpost each time i think. Don't work too hard

Where is Yank? Have we seen her on this thread?

Just had a toasted pitta, half a bag of crisps, an apple and some houmous for lunch and some orange juice. Baby is kicking away, the sun is shining and my lovely friend is coming over tomorrow so really everything is fine.

Yay for friend coming over Alice

I am on my third load of washing!

I take it that it was the right answer from student finance Mucky?

Tuna salad for lunch.

Pick n mix out of the freezer for tea!!

hopefully. need to send more paperwork out. hope you are all well. catch ya later.

Alicetheinvisible · 02/06/2010 12:51

There really seem to be a lot of bugs around atm. Well, according to my mother there is always a deadly virus/flu going around, but lots of normal people are sick too. It is rubbish

Mucky - is that a good answer or not?

Bella - i am on my second load (can never get completely on top of it though...)

DD is harrassing the cat.....

Alicetheinvisible · 02/06/2010 12:52

Apparently cats don't like toast

Alice - have you seen the news. what is going on in godmanchester/ this area. just taken a really vague phone message. Need to pop to post office so cant easily check tv.

hellsbelles · 02/06/2010 13:02

oh er Mrs...Bella you are beautiful when you get angry .

I have been struggling with trying to get work done from home and have had to ration myself a bit off MN....and as DIB so rightly said I'm often watching 24 in the evening (which is really me trying to spend more time with neglected DH)....but I will try harder.

DB - I await with bated breath the snore remedy too...

Alice - car news is shite. I hope DH has taken over on the sorting of it.

Bitter - I have the wire I can't remember if I promised it to Lizzy? If I didn't then it's yours (and if I did it's yours after lizzy )

welcome back SAF

Mitts - poor poor DS. Sounds so horrible.

UQL - I'm hoping this was a good answer from the finance lot...

Today I stared the Dukan (or Vulcan as Crispy would say ) diet. It's so so boring. Eggs for breakfast....chicken and prawns for lunch and steak for dinner. I only have to do this for 2-3 days though so I'll manage. Plus I have to drink a ton of water. So far I feel fine (though I'm only half a day into it!)...but I'll report back. I weighed in at 10st 5 this morning so I'm hoping to get to under 10 with this 'attack' diet.

OMG - i know the lakes is a big place, but please tell me vinny is nowhere near whitehaven?

Mouseface · 02/06/2010 13:05

Afternoon shiney peeps.

Well, DS had a barium (?SP) swallow in hospital yesterday to see if they can cure his severe reflux. They found nothing "mechanically" wrong in his tummy - back to square one...........

DH (AKA Frank Spencer) is demolishing the outbuildings - I have the emergency services on standby!

And DD is eating me out of house and home - what is it with half-term and constant snacking?

Mittz - hope your DS is ok, agree that you need to have him checked by the Doc.

Bella - washing load number 2, you win! Althogh last night had to strip DS's cot, thanks to the barium!!

Alice - nightmare about your car!

Tramadol may have to go in the bin - lost 4lbs in 4 days now...... I just can't eat!

Is it sunnySHINEY where you all are? It's lush here!

MuckyDucky · 02/06/2010 13:10

jet - not sure. texts have been sent to check she is ok.

really must go to post office.

Mouseface · 02/06/2010 13:11

Helles - is that not a bit like Atkins? All protein? I did it before I got married and dropped a shed load of weight.

After putting on 3 stone being pg with triplets (we lost them at 16 wks ) I needed a fast track attack and got down to 9st 4lb for the big day!!

It took about 4 months but was worth it.

And yes, I know how awful Atkins is for your body and organs, I won't do it again. I promise.

Alicetheinvisible · 02/06/2010 13:14

What is happening?

bellavita · 02/06/2010 13:16

Have left a voicemail for her too - phone switched off.

What's up Alice?

Mittz · 02/06/2010 13:20

she's awesome isn't she Hells!

I stuck DS in as warm a bath as he could stand (technique we used for OAPS at Ressie home when they were 'bunged'! ) and we had results! So he has stopped being sick thank god. He would be so pleased that I have broadcast that on MN!

Alice.. have you heard from the other garage at all?

Fingers crossed Quarks xx

Mittz · 02/06/2010 13:20

Alice are you OK? Is it BH again?
