I'm eating pizza so much that my partner is complaining. He has reached his pizza limit, which shouldn't be possible!

LittleMilla · 07/04/2011 18:26

wobbly ha haha, that's so funny! I have felt like a flipping loon...and guess what, I can now hear the ice cream man so might go join push out of the way the little kids running towards it.

Cheers for the rhubard tip...might try that?? ANd no, you're not a dirty bastard...you're carry his bambino whcih gives you the free reign to do (and eat) what the hell you like Grin.

CIDER LOLLIES??????? Shock WOW!!!! I want some! Are they actual cider lollies? As in, frozen cider??? And I love ice lollies too, the Del Monte ones from tesco, box of 6 for £1, gorgeous! So fruity [drool emoticon]

wobblyweeble82 · 07/04/2011 19:03

Love it LittleMilla! Whenever DS hears the ice cream van he yells very matter-of-factly 'Muuuum - Tony's here...' Got him well-trained Grin

Think bitter apple juice frozen Melly. Ruddy lovely they are - if you let them melt a bit you can half kid yoruself its the real deal :)

And think DH secretly likes the idea of me being a dirty bastard, as in all honesty, that's as dirty as I'm getting at the moment Grin

LittleMilla · 07/04/2011 19:31

Ah wobbly you have made me laugh...thank you. Been feeling like a miserable b*tch all day long! Love that DS has got it sorted.

I tried it on with DH the other night, thinking it might get me 'going'. He very sweetly enquired when the wax is booked and asked if i'd mind waiting until then. Ha ha!! First time for everything...but if you see my comments on the other post about elephant's arse, you'll understand why!

Back to lollies though, my DH has got in on the act and loves the cider lollies too. He's trying to say that his gut slight tummy is down to my odd food tendancies Hmm.

Anyone else's DH using the pg as a reason to just eat a bit more...?

Melly19MummyToBe · 07/04/2011 19:38

Hahaha lol @ your DH Milla :o no, my DPs not tried that, he hardly eats anything anyway. Makes me feel like a right fatty when I'm sat there stuffing my face :o

I will have to get to asda to get some cider lollies. Pity our nearest asda is 15 miles away :(

wobblyweeble82 · 07/04/2011 19:53

My pleasure LittleMilla. My DH is in far too much sympathy for me ... His back hurts, his calves ache, he gets dreadful heartburn, and he could just do with 'something' but he doesn't know what that 'something' is. This is my time for wallowing and self-pity and irrational demands, not his... Pah ...

And Melly, you need to have a chat with your ice cream van man. He'll sort you out :)

Toblerone o'clock in our house now! Happy days!

I have been consuming vast quantities of strawberries. The Spanish ones are pretty nice even though it's not strawberry season yet.

I also eat fresh cut strawberries on endless pots of Muller rice (original only!)

I've also been having a few sneaky McDonalds, usually a McChicken sandwich. Mmmmm. But then I have days where I crave a big green salad with lots of tomatoes etc so I don't feel too badly.

Beesok · 07/04/2011 21:20

my cravings are quite boring :( orange juice was the no.1 for a while but only freshly squeezed, then toasted bread rolls with butter and slices of fresh tomatoes (??) now it's....Rice Krispies. Honestly, I haven't eaten RK since I was 12? Now it's my fav. dinner Confused

In fact going to get a bowl right now :)

And you ladies are making me crave a McCheese and I haven't stepped in a fastfood joint for over a decade!!!!!!

G1nger · 07/04/2011 22:24

15 weeks and 5 days... I've been eating pizza or bacon sandwiches for weeks as I developed a whole load of food aversions. Tonight, when out buying another pizza for tea, WHAM! my appetite came back and all I wanted to do was eat EVERYTHING.

pipplin · 07/04/2011 23:19

Due to this thread I have had to add to my Sainsburys order:
Haribo fizzy mix
peanut butter
Strawberry cider

I need a cider lolly, a good one mind.

This is all your fault and I hold you all responsible for my otherwise very healthy shop!

pipplin · 07/04/2011 23:19

I can't go to bed now I need haribo and cider!

wobblyweeble82 · 08/04/2011 02:15

Well, I've overdone the aforementioned sugary snacks this evening, and am now riddled with heartburn, with an over excited bump, sat on the sofa with a warm milk watching the Antiques Roadshow (complete with sign language) ...

I blame you all!!! Grin

SouthGoingZax · 08/04/2011 03:36

Oooh this thread is making me jealous of the pregnant days when I could eat all these things without guilt!

For me it was toast with dairylea and toast / crumpets with marmite.

Now I need some cider lollies.

PenguinArmy · 08/04/2011 04:04

I really wanted a big mac last week with no cheese though

I am a vegan Blush

Melly19MummyToBe · 08/04/2011 07:43

Ummmm, surely a big mac is full of animal products? Apart from the salad. Or am I missing the point about vegans?

OMG I just had a FABULOUS idea, don't know if it would work though. MAKING strawberry cider lollies!!!!! Get strawberry cider (or any cider really, strawberry is just my personal preference) and put it in lolly moulds and freeze it!!! Shock I'm a genius! (If it works)

Melly19MummyToBe · 08/04/2011 07:45

Just a thought. Does the cheese in big macs etc actually count as cheese though? I was under the impression it was plastic. . . . .

Morning everyone.
Just caught up on all of this and am now very hungry.
My latest thing for the last few days is Primula spread cheese on everything! Smile
Also can't wait to have a Big Mac and salty fries.
I love rocket lollies and even found that anything with redberry juice in is great!! x

Some more chavvy cravings from me:

Eating one or two bowls of coco pops every morning (this is more kids food than chavvy, per se. Beofre I get flamed!)
Transform-a-snack crisps in 'spicy' flavour
Cheeseburger flavour quarter back crisps

I'll think of more soon...

What's Transform-a-snack? LittleMilla
I love the sound of cheeseburger flavour crisps but i've never seen them!! Yum Smile

They are lush by the way. I haven't had them in years! I also love pickled onion space raiders!! Yummy

You should try them Renaissance. You would probably get hooked! They're rather addictive.

Will do Milly if I can find some.

This morning I have a really bad craving for scampi fries again but I'm at work and the closest place that sells them is six miles away!
I need to find an alternative Hmm
