Keeping off the pie and the cigs...we'll live until 180!

[FrantasticO]

Hey new thread since our old stopping smoking and not gaining-too--much weight has been lost from chat! BOO!!!

I am not a good role model however as I HAVE piled on a stone, well 12 lbs now, since giving up the cigs.
This must be rectified!
Hence joining in the club section!

Donnadoon hope you find this thread.

Everyone else pile in, join and be happy or miserable bastard ex smokers

Hey mrs hope you've had a better Tuesday!

Ha ha ha
It took me ages to figure that out
I was staring at the screen for ages thinking wtf
...and then I got it
Thankyou :)
I'm recovering from the snot fest
How are you ?
Still going excercise class?
Shifted the holiday pounds if there was any yet ?
It'll soon be Christmas dontchaknow !

Hey bumpy how are ya?

Not been online last few days

Hope you are feeling better

Take it easy

Hiya Im all good now thanks pal
Gotta stop eating chocolate. Im getting fat and spotty
Nice and chilled though, growing a a new hopefully healthy big baby
Im 19 weeks this week, its flying by
Hope youre not working too hard, Hows your weight loss/gain situation? (for want of a better description)
Im not too worried about mine because I tend to shift it fairly quickly and what with breast feeding and running around after 5 kids Im sure ill be jumping back off of the wardrobe back into my size 10s in no time !!

Once again you have me laughing

You are a maddie with your wardrobe antics, but I do laugh at the thought of you, with five wee ones beseeching you not to jump!!! Heh heh

Work is in a nutshell shit.
What can ya do? Need the money and at least the folk I work with are nice so it's not all bad!

I'm still losing and gaining that same bloody 10 pounds!
Think it might be a lifelong game [sigh]
Still gyming it and going to classes, great destresser!

Anyway, enough of all that malarkey...nineteen weeks!
Whoop whoop, you're halfway there girl!!
You'll not need to think of diet or wardrobes or weightloss at all, five kids will have you whittled down to a slip of a thing!

How exciting, you'll be noticeably bumpy now!
I loved the second trimester, bumpy but not huge and over the worst of the bone wearying tiredness.
Hat off to you, you're doing amazing keeping everything going!

Just think you'll not need to be worrying about cigs after this one either cos you have gave up for so long.
Be wary though as I have up when pregnant and went back on them 4 months after birth.
I will be here to kick your butt if you even think of it, so don't worry!

Anyhoos massive post!

Take it easy.

Love your mammoth post Fran
I dunno weather I'm coming or going ATM
I fall asleep watching blummin Emmerdale and wake up at this time when DH is coming to bed
I did a bit of online shopping at the weekend for Xmas and it arrived today.....all buggered up, received stuff that I didn't order ..all my stuff missing /wrong sizes etc
So I'm sending the whole lot back and forgetting it , that's my attempt at being early and organised out the window
Being last minute isn't so bad....you spend less i think

Sorry work is crap, like you say, working with decent folk makes it a little more bearable still no chance of another baybeeeeee ?

Update....
Work still rubbish
Baby not on the cards
Kids driving me insane with Halloween requests
In other news I think the dog has dementia, he's very happy just a forgetful old boy now
Oh and husbands firm looking to make 25% redundant Deffo no babies
Hopefully we will be ok as there's a few looking to go fingers crossed

Glad to hear you are getting some rest even if you miss your soaps
I'm going to just enjoy hearing all about your pregnancy and wee bundle.

All ticking by though, keeping sane and haven't thought about cigs for a good while

Take it easy, rest as much as possible hard with kids

Catch up soon!

Hiya alls good here
Just had a take away curry
Watching strictly come dancing now
Sorry to hear about your dog....hopefully he is still happy in his own little way
Fingers crossed about DHs job
I've done the garden today, love looking out to a fresh cut lawn saddo
No plans for tomorrow...yet
Glad you haven't thought about the cigs for ages...me neither
We deserve big pats in backs and for you and for me :)

Enjoy your

You deserve it!

Have been on the go all day, had a lovely day.
What a difference some sunshine makes

Trying not to worry about dhs job, it won't make it better by worrying.

Hope you have a nice Sunday, ours is full of kids clubs, the joys!!!!

You and bump have a rest,
Laters

Hi Fran
I'm here at last
Been soooooo busy doing nothing
I'm getting so tired, only 20 weeks
Takes all my time to see to the kids and do my housework
Haven't had chance to read the paper this week literally
I nearly fell asleep parked outside school this afternoon waiting for gates to be opened, it's ridiculous
I'm excited to have my 20 week scan tomorrow
Might, just might find out what sex I'm having for the first time ever
I never found out with the others, but it would be very handy to know this time, bedroom and clothes wise etc
Although I have 2 of each so I really don't mind what it is as long as all is well
You watch, the little so and so will have its legs crossed
In other news Fran I'm fat!! Very fat !!
:)

Hey donna!
Excited for you that you got your scan today!
20 weeks, you're allowed to be tired.
Oh and your not fat, you're preggers! daft bat

Hope you're little one waved at you when scanned today

I'm tired and fat and not even ruddy pregnant

However that may be a mixture of pmt and the cold talking!
Need to lose that 7lbs again

Early night for me, we are all sniffing and sneezing!

Laters

Hiya sorry been soooo busy falling asleep infront of telly
Ridiculous
Scan was lovely, we are having another little girl
so pleased :)
hope all is well with you
I honestly dont know where the time goes
this time last year i had all the time in the world
Now I have a just turned one year old that is .INTO. EVERYTHING.
Bless her she is lovely though
Soon be Xmas Fran , try and shift a couple of pounds to make room for some mince pies which I am shamefully consuming 2 a day ATM

Im gonna be a whale by Febuary

Aww so glad to hear from you, was thinking you might have the lurgy again and didn't want to look like a stalker shouting cooee every day!

A girl, that's lovely! She will be best buds with your one yr old!
I love girls, keep suggesting the next one would be a boy to dh, but he's not for taking me on! bugger that he is I love him really

I bet you're shattered running about, I can remember the 1 yr old stage well

Enjoy your mince pies, you deserve them!
And rest when you can, if on the couch who cares?
As long as you get some zzzzs

I'm firmly in the weight loss zone, been at two classes today. rusty halo being polished

No more biscuits or vino for a while and all will be well! pity I like he biscuits though

Rest, eat and be happy.
You're doing a sterling job!

A girl, whoop whoop!!!

Just checking in!

Hope you have you're feet up and are pumping out many zzzzs

Yay you keep polishing that halo Fran
Well done you!
I am soooo heavy dare not go on the scales
Did I tell you that the baby measured a bit on the big side for my dates
First time for everything, my babies have always measured bang on for dates
Oh well I'd prefer a big bouncing baby to an under weight one
I'm sure it must be cus I'm all healthy now and it's nothing to do with the mince pies oh no

Of course it not the mince pies!
It's just being pregnant!

My nine and a half pound baby was the easiest to get out! maybe force of gravity?!?
You've done it before and are doing great now, you're on the countdown!

Halo still being polished blardy boring though

Have family party with outlaws next week, it will be grim, I want to look GOOD!
Might have to get the polyfilla make up out!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Laters!

Howdy partner
Sorry I keep going on the missing list
The kids break up for a week on Friday
I'll be glad for some rest bite from the constant merry go round of school run, sports clubs, college commitments, forgotten pe kits and lunch bags so another trip up the school, and the school ain't on my doorstep
And I'm a SAHM ATM
How did I fit it all in when I was working?
I expect yours have had half term already? Cus they went back earlier than mine?
Glad you're still on the straight and narrow and I'm sure you'll look lovely for your outlaws sod em anyway, I've lost patience with mine
Ta ra for now

Sod em indeed!

Mines are just back, we had a great week off.
It's lovely not having to rush about and to get to get out of the house without the usual harassment!
Back to school this week and they are shattered.

You will be so looking forward to a week off with your brood, get them feet up as much as possible!

All I am hearing is Halloween, Santa, Halloween costumes, christmas pantos etc... You get the picture I'm sure!
How did it get to be October so fast?

That's 10 months we are off the cigs and been chatting the chat on here!
And you have also managed to make a new person!
Time is flying this year.

Take it easy and catch up later in the week.

Feet up, and that's an order!

It's the weekend!
Hope you're well and have lots of feet up time planned.
Enjoy half term and no school run.
We are Halloween crazy here, closely followed by Christmas is a comin!

Laters

Hiya
Woo for the weekend
How'd it go with the outlaws ?
I have decided to host a Halloween party this year eek
I've accumulated lots of decorations over the years
Bought a pumpkin pinnata from wilkos yeSterday
I'm going to cook jacket potatoes, sausages, chilli etc
Have copious amounts of sweets around for the kids
Dig out a spooky cd I've got somewhere
Invite the neighbours round
I'm quite excited actually

Whhhhhoooooooooooo [ghostly sounds]

Your party sounds great, we have one on Tuesday!
Dooking for apples ang guess the gruesome object goes down well!

Outlaws were fine, very twee and very pleased with themselves some of them, but on the hole fine!

I ate a months worth and have come home to find the heating is not working...am comforting myself that the extra calories will be body fat for warmth!

Enjoy your party, you'll be tired out at the end of it my bumpy friend, but good on you!

Laters

Our party was great, I'm awake late for the first time in aaaaages I have gone to bed all this week at 7pm and been sparko by 8pm according to DH The kids had a fab time, all my food was ate, always a good sign We got trick or treating done before the rain came Success !! How was your party on Tuesday? Did you get your heating sorted? We still haven't put ours on yet pats self on back I always try to leave it til November which is tomorrow Because once it's on you never switch it off I find, til march Must go and brush my teeth again, I've had far too many drumsticks this evening

Glad your party went well!
Party was successful here too, kids had a great time.
Heating sorted...blardy house!
Needed on for an hour at night for last couple of weeks, it's Baltic!
Well done you for keeping it off (pats donna on back also!)

Now the countdown til christmas and then your baby! Lucky duck!

Off to work, feeling kinda flat this week, so whoop whoop for the weekend!

Keep well bumpy

Hiya
hope you had a nice wkend
Did you get any storms your way?
We didnt, it completely mossed us thankfully
We went out on a nice family walk and did a bit of shopping browsing yesterday
it was nice because the last few sundays it has rained and been miserable
I have made a start on xmas shopping though, I have got the kids 4 presents each so far, not bad, but still a bloody long way to go
