Here is the new thread for us to achieve success in Xmas Smile

Old thread is here

I'll change my name to my "Christmas" one after Saturday: I'm helping to organise the Scottish Mumsnet Christmas meet-up and it might confuse things if I change my name.

oh blondes that is so very sad xxxxx

RatherBeOnThePiste · 13/01/2011 20:39

Oh Blondes, your post quite took my breath away. A very dear friend of mine died three years ago next summer leaving four boys aged 12, 11 and twins who were 2. It was the most harrowing time watching her coming to terms with everything, but mostly her realisation that she was going to have to say goodbye to her beautiful boys, and then, in turn watching her parents coming to terms too. As friends you feel impotent, but she will need to know you will be there and being strong when she is gone. There will be a lot you can do for her family. My friend's boys love to hear random stories about their mum, and I have plenty of those! As the little ones get older, they will need memories creating about their mum, because they were so tiny. I can help the boys source stuff for school, one of the things I did for the twins was to help find them a good nursery school, because that's part of my field, other people help with other things, and there will be plenty you can do. My friend wanted everyone to be upbeat and strong. But God its difficult, and now of course we are having the pleasure of watching them all grow up.
It's just shit, that's what it is Blondes, and I am truly sorry..

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/01/2011 22:16

I sts, which is fair enough, not enough exercise and still tempted by left over christmas pudding Blush

Well done Piste Smile

blondes, it's good that you can do something to help as Piste says.

I am interested to see how you've done on wwpp, as you've stuck to it I bet it's worked for you.

I have plans for next week, exercise x4 and eat x4 per day, I MUST focus. Also no take away this evening.

Dh still has a bad leg, so can't exercise, and I can't help noticing he has put on some tummy as it's down to him to eat the left over nuts and chocolate....

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/01/2011 12:15

3 lbs loss for me :)

seems ww pp does work Grin

i had 3 sb's and a huge curry

well done piste

blondes I had a feeling in my bones you'd do well this week Smile When you've been doing wwpp for a while you'll be able to judge if it's better than before?

pretty well done on your 3lb Smile

I just lost my patience with counting pp, I probably didn't even count them properly. Did you get a calculator Blondes?

GettinTrimmer · 14/01/2011 13:49

blondes - what are sb's?

How did you do Bebe/everybody else?

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/01/2011 14:20

Well done pretty :)

Trimmer - sb's are starbucks :) and my large drink is 8pp

Yes brought a calculator - much easier and keeps track of daily and weekly points

A good week all round my fellow Slinks. I have to go running later and it's Friday and it's gloomy and really I am not feeling motivated.

LollipopViolet · 14/01/2011 15:48

OK, weighed in at 12st 5 this morning. So I've lost one of the pounds I put on :) Yay!

laughalot · 14/01/2011 16:20

Well done everyone you are doing fab ! Its my dd birthday today she is a big 4 Grin, it would be rather rude not to try some of her birthday cake Wink.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 14/01/2011 16:55

Quite so - happy birthday small Laughalot!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/01/2011 17:07

RatherBeOnThePiste · 14/01/2011 17:51

Yippeeeee - it's Friday!

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/01/2011 17:53

M&S have got some lovely own brand low fat meals and between 5.5/11 pp

bebejones · 14/01/2011 19:07

My broadband is buggered! DH has 'fixed' it but not sure it'll last! BT aren't coming til Tuesday so apologies in advance if I appear to be MIA!!

Well done on losses girlies! :o

I sts, which is disappointing coz I've been really good & super busy/active. But at least it's not a gain. Getting these lbs off & down to 10st 6 was difficult before, so musn't get too disgruntled!

Had pea soup & a small naan bread for dinner and a rhubarb yogurt.

2moro is DHs birthday, so will be a bit naughty. Will try not to go overboard!

Happy 4th Birthday mini laughalot! :o

smokinaces · 14/01/2011 19:14

well done all of you! losses all round, and a sts, how fab!

Blondes, glad the ww seems to still be working!

laughalot, happy birthday to your DD

bebejones, happy birthday to your DH!

I've been good. went to my mums for lunch so took a packed lunch of a tuna sandwich, yogurt and fruit with me and a packet of ww hoops. dinner tonight was low fat chicken curry and veg and another yogurt. Catching up with Biggest Loser Uk after watching US version last night, and going to try and do some exercise in a minute after a 45 min work out last night

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/01/2011 19:57

smokin let's see if works next week

Bebe Omg at no bb - happy bday to Dh Tom and have fun celebrating

I'm off to my night nannying job - have a good night

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/01/2011 21:51

Girls this is gonna make you laugh

Was driving to my night nanny job and Just had to stop for a desperate wee along a dark country lane. All was fine till a cow stuck his head over the fence and mooed at me - if I wasn't literally peeing I would have pissed myself in fright !!!!!!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 14/01/2011 22:06

Blondes!! I have such a funny image in my mind now Grin

smokinaces · 15/01/2011 10:21

Blondes thats hilarious!! Reminds me of the time I was being naughty in a boyfriends car, leant on the lights and lo and behold a giant stag was right in front of the car! Scared the life out of us!!
