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.

I have picked which dress I want to wear next Saturday, it is very 'me' and I just need to accessorize it now.

DD dissed most of my choices and says I am getting a bit ''...err.. you know mummy, fat, I don't mean to be unkind....''
Joy!

Mittz - cheeky little madam!

Just had a wine spritzer and BBQ sausages in rolls

This baby is having a good stretch and i am so uncomfortable!

hellsbelles · 04/06/2010 20:16

Lizzy - what bitter said and also that it's so good you are being tough on him - he'll have no doubt that he's not to do it again!!

Double - SAF and the others are spot on with advice as ever. And so sorry you have the colonoscopy ahead but it'll be a relief once you have it all checked out.

Welcome back Crispy

Mitts - get you sorting out your dress! Bet it's lovely. I'm totally unsure what an earth to wear...if I pick something summery it's bound to rain and vice versa! I have however made sure my spanx are clean and ready for use .

Waves to Bella and the gang and runs off to watch 24. Night all.

still here, still reading even if i dont post much

at your DS lizzy! i can really see mini being a handful in a few years - even more than she is now

double - i think i know what you mean re the council house. I think of the day when and if i would like to move, but giving up the security of the tenency here is very scary, when i consider how unsecure private tenencys can be (did that make sense) And i hope i have read you right!

thanks for your kind words re junior. She got really poorly during the night, and the doc had to come out. she has got some ab's, which luckily she is keeping down at the moment, so we have avoided hospital. And the escalation of the very well expected row with ex over him having mini

She still has to go for blood tests next week though, for period stuff, they have given her a load of the numbing cream to put on before we even get there Last time, seriously - the nurse made her lie down for half and hour after the blood test as she went so pale and light headed

FiveGoMadInDorset · 04/06/2010 21:19

Where is MyCat of have I missed somehing.

Lizzylou · 04/06/2010 21:39

Evening all, DH back late so just got back from gym, at least it was cooller.

Went round next door and they were laughing, they are prepped to be serious tomorrow when DH takes DS2 round to apologise. I think they think I am being overly stern about this but I really think we need to get tougher on DS2, he is getting worse and doesn't listen to us at all.

Fanny, Mycat is back at work now so a bit sporadic in posting. How are you? Did you have a nice BBQ?

Glad to hear Junior is OK(ish), Jet, poor thing.

Have a good weekend Trills

Bitter,yep, we feel each other's pain and yep, DS2 is a fiesty and funny "character" but he does need a firm hand!

I got chatted up at the gym. By a mahoosive bald man as I was doing press ups on the fat wobbler

Mouseface · 04/06/2010 21:53

Evening shiney peeps!

Tonight I shall be mainly drinking vody and diet lemonade! What a horrid, horrid day. DS has not stopped puking... He's lost 2 feeds today

I'm really worried. But shall concentrate on my shiney friends to get me through this....

Double - colonoscopy, I've had two. OUCH! Hope your feeling a tiny bit better?? x

Crispy - shame about camping trip. Fingers crossed for your insurance!!

Lizzy - Oh dear re your DS2. Bet you feel really bad.

SAF - Chink. I get sinusitus too - OUCH! Have you had your ice-cream yet?

Trills - I bet you'll look fab in a maxi dress, I love them! Enjoy!

Bella - chink! Recipe as promised below.

Jet - poor Junior and poor you, you must be so worried.

Okay ladies, here is the curry recipe -

1 tsp of chilli pdr
1 1/2 tsp of garam masala
2 tbsp of total greek 0% fat yog
2 tbsp of mango chutney
3 tbsp of tom puree
1 large garlic clove
2 skinless chicken breasts - med/large. Diced into chunkey cubes.
Small tub of Emlea single cream - lower fat the better.

Mix together all ingredients except chicken and cream in a bowl - spices, garlic and yog etc - then cover with cling film and leave in fridge for an hour or more, doesn't matter if you prep in the am. Heat wok and add a little oil, enough to coat the wok, use oil of your choice - we use sunflower or groundnut - gently pour in sauce. Add diced chicken. Stir well. Then add a cup - like a tea cup - of tap water. Simmer for 20 mins until sauce reduces or take reduce heat if this happens earlier.

Sauce should be thick and then add a 'swirl' of cream to taste to reduce the heat of the curry.

If you have a healthy eating style naan bread you'll notch up 610 ish calories, or you could have a small cup of rice.....

Curry on it's own, as in 1 portion (half of what you cook) is 278 calories.

It's a hot and sweet/sour sauce but yummy.

Enjoy x

Chatted up eh Lizzy!

Hey jet , really nice to see you. Hope junior picks up really soon.

Fanny, how are you?

Mittz, yay for getting your outfit sorted. I have to try all of mine on yet, make sure it fits

I have had a lovely G&T which has made me all nice and relaxed!

Ooooo - Lizzy, how nice. Chatted up!!

bellavita · 04/06/2010 21:58

Thank you for the recipe Mouse . I will order the stuff on next weeks shopping and I will make into two portions for me - one for the freezer and have the other for my tea.

Hi guys, posting from iPhone on the road. We are on a boring bit so dp has asked me to find entertainment on mumsnet

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 04/06/2010 22:02

Evening all,

Lizzy, chatted up ? Whats that like then?

Mouse, sorry about DS. You seem to have so much going on yet such a positive attitude.

Bella, Yay for gin! How long until GreenDay?

Make sure you all post us at least a couple of updates at the big meetup

Hells thinks my RL name sounds like a film star

Lizzylou · 04/06/2010 22:03

Yep, it was v embarrassing someone chatting you up when you are on all fours with your arms on a Powerplate. I had noticed that he kept looking at me when I was on the rowing machine, to be honest there was only about 4 people in the gym anyway! A man who obviously has a thang for sweaty, flabby middle aged harrassed women, who'd have thought it???

I am off to bed now, knackered.

I want a G&T!

Tomorrow I feel the urge for alcohol.

Mousey, hope DS is OK, what will you have to do if it continues? Poor little lad.

bellavita · 04/06/2010 22:08

We go to London on Friday 18th June and they play on the Saturday night. So two weeks tonight we will be in London.

Night Lizzy, sleep tight!

Bitter, do you do the home shopping at work?

You're not middle aged are you lizzy? You don' seem middle aged.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 04/06/2010 22:11

Nope, I'm the idiot on the phone trying to open more checkouts when it's busy.

Why do you ask? If you have a question about dot com I would possibly know the answer .

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 04/06/2010 22:11

Hello hello,

I'm a lot knackered a bit pissed and very excited about going on holiday tomorrow.

Hope your all well. I'll go do a quick skim read in a mo.

My week has been a tad hectic but at last it is over and I'm off to Sunny Devon for the week. I don't care if it rains or shines, we are going on the beach every day regardless. I am determined to get active and relax.

How's things then? Are you all excited about the meet up next week? I hope you all have a lovely time and have fun.

Mouseface · 04/06/2010 22:13

Night Lizzy, sleep tight - I'm glad you got chatted up though, shows you have 'it' babes!!

DS is now on Dioralyte. No other way of keeping him out of hospital.

He's been so bad with it today. Hospital Tuesday so I hope his consultant is going to be constructive and proactive in his plans.....

I'm way beyond crossing fingers tonight - not religious but may say a tiny prayer to hope we get through the weekend without him being admitted........

Mouseface · 04/06/2010 22:15

Where are you going MyCat?

Glad you're excited!!! Holidays are fab.
