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.

Actually Saf, yes, I am remarkably bouncy this morning ..(watch out girls!)

Just morning stuff SaF or are you coming down with something?

Oh Yank, it is just good to hear from you.. you have really been through the mill this year. If ExH moves will you get some semblance of normality in your life?
Has the illing passed at all, I know sadly that being mentally run down can make you vulnerable to all sorts. Take care xx you are missed but understand you have priorities.

I have a lovely sewing machine. I am goin to rearrange the house so that I can 'open' to exhibit on a regular basis and will have a work space to put it in. I used to make a sell mini 'quilt' hangings, with buttons etc included. It could be quite exciting. I need some muscles to move the big furniture around.

DC's are at their Dads till after I have been to counselling... I have so much planned.

1 load of work.
Trip to garden centre to get an Acer.
1 hr in garden,
Paint/

After I have sorted laundry, one of my fave household tasks.

xx

Lizzylou · 03/06/2010 08:36

DIB, AC was on BBC Breakfast! OOh they are spoiling me with halfterm totty I'd normally have missed

Mitts, I hate sorting laundry.

Goobs! Did you have loads of fun? And food?

Yank, so pleasd things look better for exh and that you all seem to be recovering from illnesses.

Where is Norma?

Portia, ooh love Edinburgh, have fun.

Gorgeous day here, so will try and get out for a run later on, not make the same mistake as yesterday.

I am so pleased that Vinny is OK, watching all the coverage is very scary, had no idea he went so far. The Solicitor he shot first was a client of mine at my last job, have been badgering calling him to get back in since we set up the business. So awful.

DreamsInBinary · 03/06/2010 08:52

Missed again, LL! I'm going to have to start sky+ ing it just in case. Malcolm Tucker will be on tomorrow, just you mark my words...

Glad you are so bouncy Mittz Acers are my fave

Hey Yank!

Morning all

Alicetheinvisible · 03/06/2010 08:52

Morning

Not going to be about much today, friend coming at 11, house a tip and as i am 'taking it slowly' a quick 40mins whizz round is going to take a lot longer.

Have a good day lovelies

wastingaway · 03/06/2010 08:57

Morning!

Oh Lizzy, sorry to hear someone you knew was caught up.

Mittz, I love those mini quilts. Your plan for the day sounds good.

Mucky, what's a usp?

Yank, as soon as you find your notebook, write 'find notebook' in it and tick it off.
Hope you can find some time to rest and get back to normal.

SAF, I'm afraid I need whatever I can find this morning.

5 o'clock start here, after a not early night. Seriously starting to wish I'd not taken the sides off the cot now.

Hoping I've cross-posted with Norma so I don't have to get up to make another coffee.

wastingaway · 03/06/2010 08:58

DIB and Lizzy, you're both nuts!

Lizzylou · 03/06/2010 09:03

Wasting, I didn't really know him, just recruited for him a few times, over 7 years ago now.

I feel for you re: 5am start, we had the luxury of beng woken by the alarm clock at 6.30am.

DIB, it could be on i-player!

Mittz · 03/06/2010 09:12

Hey Goobs.. good to see you

Lake District is so sad, I would be quite shaken if I was Vinny .... (( )) xx if she pops in. Life really hangs in the balance sometimes doesn't it?

The 'evil' Kboxing Instructress has buggered up my stomach muscles for the week. I can't do 1 sit up. Will have to run later instead. Or cycle. I might be reduced to Tiger Balm.

We are watching you Alice..... be sure of that....

bellavita · 03/06/2010 09:14

Morning

Beautiful day here. DS2 already gone out to play. I dragged myself out of bed at 8.30, got showered and dressed straight away, tidied round rather quickly so I can sit in the garden. Just having fruit and fibre with strawberries for brekka.

Mittz - have I told you how fabulous you are lately?

Yank - you have had a lot to cope with these last few weeks, we understand if you cannot keep up with the thread. As long as you show up on the 12th - that's what matters!!

Lizzy, how awful that you knew that solicitor

Mucky - you are very talented! I have a sewing machine but I only ever use it to take things up rather than create stuff.

Alice, have a lovely day with your friend.

wastingaway · 03/06/2010 09:23

Lizzy, it's still a shock though.

Mittz, careful with that Tiger Balm.

It's cloudy here. Surely if Lizzy and Bella have a nice day, meteorologically speaking then I should to?

Mittz · 03/06/2010 09:37

Err.. no Bella...

But thank you

Why Wasting? It's not an aphrodisiac is it?

wastingaway · 03/06/2010 09:42

It's reputed to be very stimulating depending on location of application.

Mittz · 03/06/2010 09:46

Really!!!!!!

Mittz · 03/06/2010 09:48

Someone was using it at the Kboxing gym on Tuesday.. that might explain why people grinned at me when I inhaled deeply and declared my love for the smell of it... bugger

bellavita · 03/06/2010 09:48

I have just txted our babysitter (I feel awful now) and said that that we have changed our mind about going out on Saturday (MrBella still wanted to go) but we need to be sensible about money. I got a bill through on Monday for DS2's kids club fees, have just got a bill through for DS1's guitar fees from school (he has two lots of lessons - school and private), there is Manchester, then London (and the boys are going to want the GD tour t/shirts), MrBella's speeding fine/course fine and I just feel a little about it all. I hate expensive months.

bellavita · 03/06/2010 09:52

oh and I forgot I am at the hairdressers too on Saturday (having my grey covered) so that will be another £50.

morning all.

I got a call from DR with my results yesterday morning. I missed the call and didn't ring him back.
had a nice day at the park with Reality and the DC's instead.

I need to muster the courage to call him back but i just can't. I am hoping the post man will bring me a letter with the details instead.

I am going to make the most of the sun and go to the funfair with the Dc's instead. So lots of naughty hot dogs and burgers consumed today. yum.

I am very jelaous of all these people that can make things. the only thing i can make is a mess.

Shocked over the shootings. and that Vinny was so close.I didn;t have TV on at all the last couple of days so only just seen the news this morning. Im stunned.

Gigantaur · 03/06/2010 10:18

and what in the world is tiger balm?

Mittz · 03/06/2010 10:19

Me too Shiney, what do you have in mind?

How are you feeling?

you have had to change your plans Bella. There are far too many months like that.

Mittz · 03/06/2010 10:24

Gigi Smells very but makes achey muscles smile. And tingle.

Hope things are OK. (( ))

We all have a talent GiGi...

Morning all.

Glorious sunshine here today, and both DC slept until 9am

I have just scrubbed the kitchen, need to put a couple of loads of laundry out before I go out for lunch.

Rock and Roll.
