The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part VI - The thread in which we Spring Into Action

[grinningbee]

Sorry chaps, my thinking cap is busted. Best title I could manage tonight!

Loads of comfy chairs in here, bowls of fruit, and lots of superfree veggies to snack on

So, settle in, have a natter, and let's show the lard who's boss!

I aim for between 5-10 syns a day, but if I go up to 15 then so be it.

I'm not well and how unfair that its the first day of the half term and I wake up feeling rough. I guess its better than feeling ill at work, but this is my time and I didn't plan on being ill.
I'm going to keep taking tablets and hope I can shake it off in a day or 2.

Sw is taking a back seat today, but I've just got the latest magazine so I'll be having a look through that in a bit to see what tasty meals I can make. DH has asked for the bacon carbonara so that's what we'll be having tonight.

Hope everyone is okay, sorry to hear about no BFP FoD, hope the appt goes well for you.

Welcome back Pixie, hope you enjoyed your holiday

Hope you enjoy your holiday TSP, hope it's not too hot for you (while we're here freezing!)

Cheese, hope you've had lots of rest after such long hours and are feeling better.

Bee, Good luck at the hospital. I do hope you'll get them to actually weigh it if they do remove it. I mean, we don't want that to count towards your loss that week, that would be cheating!
No harm in asking for the tummy tuck at the same time. I had an emergency c-section and as they were preparing me for theatre, I asked if they could do a tummy tuck at the same time. It did make them laugh but the didn't do it.

Right, I'm off to drink my tea, browse the web and think about starting decorating. I have got so much to do its pathetic and I don't believe for one minute we'll get it all done on time. But, hey, ho, I can try.

TSP you really are toooooo good to me.

Its the weekly Sunday morning rant, but why oh why am I AT MY DESK AT WORK right now??? Why meeeeeeeeeeeeeee???

(Please ignore the fact that my job is so taxing that I am on MN while drinking tea. Completely irrelevant)

pixie have a good day.

So far today I've poured boiling tea down my leg while DD ate a lump of coal not the best of starts.

Cheese that sounded like it was straight out of The Road to Wigan Pier Are you both OK? [concerned emoticon] On the plus side it can only get better, no?

Pix poor you. That'd make me rant my tits off on a minute-by-minute basis.

DH on night shifts this weekend so having to occupy myself. note: I could go and out and see pals but I don't like anyone, so there . I'm going to do more spring cleaning and then finish making a skirt. And then go and stare in the mirror at the gigantic gender stereotype I have become

'Ere, have you all seen the MN haircut thread? I did mine last night and it looks amazing! That means what I had set aside for haircuts can be beer money. Win/win.

Food today

GREEN

B - scrambled eggs on toast (HEB, and 1.5 syns in Lurpack Lighter, 1 in ketchup)
L - roasted veg pasta with some feta on (HEA)
D - jacket spud with cheese and tomato (HEA)

And the usual desserts and snackage: fruit, yoggit, Alpen Lights for the other HEB.

Urgh, sounds like a bad one Cheese.

I read about the MN haircut the first time it did the rounds I think TSP and I was scared of it then and scared of it now! I'm sure I would end up looking all skew-whiff and lopsided and not in a Hoxton-trendy way. Glad you are looking fab though, o brave one!

I think it's probably loads safer if you have an untidy thatch like mine - hides a multitude of sins!

how long d'you have to be at work today Pix?

We are alright, it bloody hurt and Iz has left black sooty handprints all over the lounge, and me! Iz also showcased a new trick: climbing stairs.

tsp I'm also on me Todd and have decline offers of park etc cos I can't be arsed. So this morning will be spent cleaning and tidying, making a couple of dinners for the week. Then we are popping next door to see our friends as its her daughters 9th birthday. I'm not sure I can be bothered to even pretend I'm going to decline cake!

I also saw the thread about MN haircut. I am considering it as I have curls. Post a pic tsp.

pixie how's T? Getting anymore sleep?

Oh food
B: fruit and ff yog
L: Spanish omelette
D: fish pie and broccoli abs peas
Snack: I'm substituting a heb for cake

Loads more sleep, thanks Cheese! She's been a bit peaky on and off over the last few weeks and seems to have been needing to rest at night rather than playing with her toys and banging her tambourine

Only five more hours until I'm free TSP.

Oh dot, that must be have hit home a bit. Hope your cup cake helped!

Oh FoD matey, I'm sorry. It's always worse when you get that sort of news just as your blasted period comes. Head down, look ahead to the FC appt and the future. Big hug to you.

I am about to try and make some coleslaw with none of the correct ingredients . Butternut squash for carrot, savoy cabbage for white cabbage, and red onion for white onion. Nothing if not a pioneer, me

...and I do realise you can't look ahead and keep your head down . Back to Metaphor School for me!

I'm heading back into the land of the internet-free until next weekend but sending fertile and slimming vibes to all

Mwah!

Oh god, my period is here too. That explains the massive grump and need for sugar.

Hello. Sorry am miles behind - had friend here for the weekend.
Was doing well with plan today but then dd left a piece of birthday cake from a party that she went to today as she didn't like it. I figured I'd have a bite and then throw it away, but it was farking delicious, so I ate it all . I'd already had some of the sweets from the gingerbread house that she decorated at the party.

I usually aim to have 0-5 syns a day, but this week it seems to have been more .
