Welcome newbies Rollon Enjoy the AS party! Ive been to a couple and had one at mine too! Good fun!

Laloop Failing miserably at the diet. Put on a few pounds again this week. Sure i'm not eating anymore than i was before xmas but i keep going up and up. Maybe there is something wrong with me! Will try harder this week and see if it makes a difference!

laloop · 22/02/2007 13:38

Tort, did you find your WW books? If so, do you want to start following it with me. My weight has been slowly creeping up and up despite being a regular exerciser, it's so annoying . Anyway, going to nip it in the bud now and start pointing my meals and writing everything down. If you want, maybe we could record our daily points on here if it's ok with everyone. Wonder how many points in lemon drizzle

JustIvor · 22/02/2007 13:38

Hello to everyone especially shouldbe and anyone else not 100% today.

luda I was in town this morning having my hair cut. I did think of asking you on MN or e-mail yesterday if you'd be in town by any chance this morning to see if we could meet but dh was working on the PC and I don't understand the questions it throws at me when I try to connect to MN or my e-mail, so it's rather hit and miss atm. I don't know about the other Ivor. I have seen one before with Ivor in the name so it must be popular for some reason! Do you have a dishwasher? Finish dishwasher tablets are £7.99 for 90 in cheap Charlies atm.

Right. Am off to do stuff.

My list:-
~ unload and reload d/w done
~ put washing on and on line done
~ write letter and b/day card and post done
~ go to hair appointment and do food and other shopping done
~ browse for good books in Oxfam bookshop bought some maths, English and science ones
~ go into bank to get school dinner money ready for next week done
~ put 2nd load from machine on line once finished
~ do some ironing
~ walk the dog
~ ring the electrician
~ write e-mail
~ finish putting away shopping

tortoise · 22/02/2007 13:42

Laloop Yes i found the books. Added points for the 1st day but went over and it put me off!
Would be good to have a WW buddy.Thanks.
Need ideas for low point food for tea. Needs to be cheap though.I make no point soup but that gets boring after a whilE!!

laloop · 22/02/2007 13:50

Have fun tomorrow. No Flying for me.

tortoise · 22/02/2007 15:59

Ummmmmm I think my last one sunk a bit too. No idea why.I'm not a very good cake maker. I just nick nice recipes from others!

At least my flapjacks never fail(except for getting welded to the pan!).

Enjoy your trip out.

TLV · 22/02/2007 16:04

well i've managed to get the dishes done, then I had to do a search for some instructions as the electrician had left the ones for the heating control at his house, one word IDIOT!! dd seems to be doing better but i feel like crying after the day I've had so when dd gets in a 5pm I will be handing dd over to him and taking a BIG glass of wine upstairs and having a long soak in the tub but am going to clean it now

TLV · 22/02/2007 16:05

sorry when DH gets in

laloop · 22/02/2007 16:58
