Here is the new, shiny thread. Only three weeks or so to go until we swing into really strict mode!

I am about to fall into the vat of wine.

My post of yesterday seems trite compared to the horror of todaY.

For those who don't know two colleagues on GMP were shot dead this morning and a premeditated attack.
I am not posting because I need sympathy but I need to fall off the wagon tonight. Poor excuse but I'll be back tomorrow

queribus - how about those cream cheese pancake/wrap thingies for breakfast? Just make them the day before (literally 1 oz cream cheese/1 egg whisked togather, multiply as needed) and roll them with cheese/ham/mushrooms - is marmite allowed? They are actually nicer hot so I'd microwave first but they are edible cold too.

BIWI · 18/09/2012 18:57

Oh shit, were they your colleagues, Sharon? Awful, awful, awful business. What a horrible thing to happen.

I'm not surprised you're falling into a vat of wine.

sharon - bloody hell! I'm so sorry about your colleagues. It sounds too horrific for words. I can't believe there are people who would actually lure police officers to their deaths! I think you can be excused the wine.

My breakfast dilemma is a bit pathetic, but thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely try the salmon/cream cheese rolls.

captainmummy · 18/09/2012 19:00

How awful SG.

MrsHerculePoirot · 18/09/2012 19:05

So sorry Sharon that is awful. X

HumphreyCobbler · 18/09/2012 19:06

so sorry Sharon.

SingingTunelessly · 18/09/2012 19:09

Sorry Sharon. Just saw that on the news. Horrific.

SharonGless · 18/09/2012 19:17

I didn't know the girls myself but my staff went to training college with Fiona

sybilfaulty · 18/09/2012 19:21

So sorry Sharon. Terrible news. Take care XXXX

TellMeLater · 18/09/2012 19:25

Awful Sharon, just awful. Sad

Thegoddessblossom · 18/09/2012 19:26

So sorry Sharon, shockingly evil, bastards. Those poor women - and their
families. Sad

SharonGless · 18/09/2012 19:39

Thanks my lovely bootcampers- I feel like we have become friends over the past few months and share everything (even the pooing issues!!)
Sorry to crash thread but am in bits

HumphreyCobbler · 18/09/2012 19:47

I know what you mean about these threads Sharon. They are incredbily supportive. I heard a very moving tribute to the women earlier, it sounded completely heartfelt and was heartbreaking to listen to.

Jacaqueen · 18/09/2012 19:57

Christ Sharon what a shock. You drink away pet.

halfthesize · 18/09/2012 20:07

So sorry sharon such evil out thereSad you delve into the wine.

Thegoddessblossom · 18/09/2012 20:08

Feel free to be in bits, drink wine, and cry with us Sharon. Echo the sentiment about thinking of all on here as friends. God I talk to you lot more than anyone! Big hug to you.

Jacaqueen · 18/09/2012 20:20

I really don't know why I stopped posting. I was never the most prolific sharer on this thread but I have really missed it.

BIWI · 18/09/2012 20:29

Well glad you're back now, Jac!

I love the camaraderie on these threads. I think it's so important to be able to share this stuff. DH is interested, but only to a point, and certainly not in the finer details of the diet!

I think it's one of the reasons why the QS comments were so upsetting, as the rest of these threads are so friendly, helpful and supportive.

Oh Sharon, what a completely horrific situation. My thoughts are with you and your colleagues.

MsRinky · 18/09/2012 21:07

Thinking of you and your colleagues Sharon. So shocking.

SharonGless · 18/09/2012 21:41

Thanks everyone. Like Bloss says you lot probably know more about me than my sisters!! Lots of fb and twitter musings tonight which is
A help.
BIWI - I know what you mean about electrolytegate. Took us all a bit by surprise as there is lots of love on these threads

BIWI · 18/09/2012 21:56
