Super Hard Chiefs (don't mention the poo)

[DoubleMum]

New thread for chiefs who choose their hard - all welcome!
Moving on from this thread which is full:

Meal to die for :
Jersey with butter and herbs
Simon Hopkinson lamb with anchovies. ( google it)
Salad. Naaaice.

Did I say before, I looove food [ grin]

Oh, we have the Hopkinson Roast Chicken book. Will wave it under DH's nose (he's the main cook in our house).

Bless me Chiefs. It's been a while since my last confession.

I am avoiding running.

I need to go and see how far I can run to work out a training plan for this fecking half.

So if I write it here then I'll have to come back and tell you about it.

Tea I'm waiting...

Run, Tea run!
Just had my lovely lunch cancelled, ds2 has thrown up. He seems ok now though, had to get him to lie down and stop playing. Whatever it was was obv shortlived
Darn it, I had smoked salmon, fera and pine nut salad on order!

Oh what a bummer Lizzy. Hope DS is OK. Salad sounded lovely.

Tea the clothes arrived!! Thanks soooo much, the red long sleeve blouse-top is gawjuss. In fact I'm going to wear it tonight to meet DH for dinner . Thanks again

Now go for a run dammit!

Lizzy what a shame, I had to dash home from dinner out last month when our (poor teenage) babysitter rang to say ds1 had thrown up all down the stairs...
Can you rearrange for next week? Hope your ds2 is better soon.

Mmmmmmm Lizzy that sounds delicious - could you put DS in the car and go and get it as takeaway?

I never really understand how they can be vomiting one minute and leaping around like lizards the next. Wish I could do that.

Lego I'm intrigued to know what you'll wear under it. Tis vair sheer at the back (which makes the buttons look particularly delicious) and around the shoulders/sleeves. I tried bra-less, vest top, bra, all sorts and I could never really decide whether it was best to have jangley norks or show off an under garment tended to jangle.

Thanks Chiefs. I've been. I've been avoiding running since the 10K. I managed 10 miles in 97 mins but I was right at my upper limit - the climb home was hard going. But it gives me an idea where I need to train, what time I think I could get etc. Just looking at the stats that was only my eighth run since I started running again but I guess the gym and hockey have really improved my fitness because I struggled at Christmas running a mile with the boys. The biggest difference I think, to the ability to keep on going for so long, is the stone and a half I lost. I just want to say thanks dudes because six months ago doing something like that run was just not even on my radar.

Now onto the important business .... Randalling this weekend anyone?

I'm out tonight to friend's house but am going to do my best NOT to Randall.

Arggghhh! What are you Chiefs doing to me? Have had a catch up read this afternoon (between doing some work ) and you've all gone Pinterest crazy. So, I had to have a look. They have an app, apparently, so I had to download it and then I had to spend time I don't have ogling at your boards! I think Tea is even following me! brew, some bugger already has the name HappyKite on there, so I'm HappyKettle instead!
Some great Chiefing going in, well done everyone.
I'm on my phone and can't remember all the posts, but just to say:
Bssh we all now at your feet. You are such an inspiration
Randall you are too awesome to die alone. When you least expect it, that special person will be bowled over by your awesomeness.
I see a few of us have been through year 6 SATs this week. Thank the fuck they are over! Can't believe how stressed DS got about them. I think he must be more like me than I realised. Contrary to other posters, I'm the maths/ sciences one out of DH and I. DS1 seems to rake after me, whilst DH and DS2 are more into the humanities. DS3 is mostly into fighting, but hopefully that'll change when he starts school.

Sorry about the iPhone typos!
Forgot to say, very impressive run Tea. I would love to be able to run 10 miles, I'm only about half way to that at the moment.
Not Randalling this weekend as I am working . Does reducd the alcohol calories when you can't drink for four days straight! I also made the -stupid- wise decision not to have mt weekend drinks last night, so will be at least nine days dry! Must do my liver and weight loss some good. Bloody better had, anyway.

Well done Tea!

I am most certainly Randalling this weekend. MIL is here so DH and I are out for most of it (leaving DD with her beloved Grandma). But my weekend has started today = fast fail. So only one fast completed this week. I'm in it for health benefits so it's still important to me. Oh well, next week I will on top of my fasting game!

at DS3 ... perhaps he can go to ninja or jedi school.

Thanks Wise you have given me an excuse to Randall this evening having fasted all day I'm going to blow my 500 budget and drink Gin! I shall drink gin to the fact I've got half of the childrens' Y6 SATs out of the way. They are perhaps the most pointless exam in the world - poor DS2 has to go to his secondary school after half term to sit CATs - they have so little faith in the SATs!

Poor DS2! I'm happy to say DS hasn't been the slightest bit concerned about the SATs...in fact it might have been nice to see him showing a bit more concern really!

I am randalling tomorrow, tonight I am slobbing and pinning and being lazy.

Tea, 10 miles??? That is blooming fabulous.
Wise, aha, I think you may have followed me today, will follow you too. You really are doing so well with the running, respect

Ds2 seems fine. Both boys are shattered. They will have the 11+ here, Ds1 in 18mths , Sats not so important.

Well done Sats survivors

10miles

Fasting today as I shall be randalling tomorrow. It's Eurovision people, and Eurovision demands randalling.

Soz about the puke Lizzy hope it was a one-off.

(Thank you wise )

SATs, CATs, 11+... Oh my goodness! Best of luck Chief children!

Ahhhh, the laws of Eurovision ....

1. there is booze
2. there is a smorgasbord of various nationality's cuisine
3. dressing as the country you are supporting
4. grumping off in search of the gin bottle half way through the voting because it's just too political
5. lamenting the loss of TW five minutes later
6. deciding that you're going to stay to the bitter end because law 1. has been followed to the letter

My DSis's claim to fame was that she took the wrong turn at an event once and ended up on stage at the Norwegian qualifiers with a choir. She mouthed her way through and left hurriedly laughing like a drain. They did not represent Norway that year. She may have also followed law 1 of Eurovision.

Tea
That is hilarious
I no longer watch Euro vision as I get unnaturally angry and annoyed at the bastard political voting. If I have booze as well then it is a recipe for disaster
Do love ole Tezza tho.

Me too. And this year I will be able to add much depth to my Eurovision evening by discussing TWC when at stage 5. thanks to MN

You've just summed it up perfectly Tea!

We have Union Jack bunting, score sheets and a sweepstake too though.
(We may have also made an effigy to old Tel too )

It's turned into rather an event.

Oh Tea, we so need a Chief meet up for Randalling!
I am similarly undignified.

Rainy Parkrun, done. Gym to work the muscles when dh gets back from triathlon training. Just been embarrassing the boys with my dancing to Will I am and Juatin Bieber

Cor. Well done Lizzy you are the master of mixing it up. Love it.

Imagine these conversations happening in 3D, pure technicolor with surround sound. I might expire through snorting if there was a gathering of the Chiefs ... maybe it would like the highland games and there would be randalling, Bsshing and doing a Lizzy - prize the dumplings in Double's garage.

I have kick boxed for cake with Jillian. It is DS1's 12th birthday. I have made a huge feck off iPad gingerbread biscuit and the lemon and blueberry bread of off pinterest. I may try to pin them. I was just saying to DH that it would be really good to be able integrate (but keep separate) FB, instagram and Pinterest as they all have slightly different functions but being able to use them all together would be fab. Hopefully he will sort that out for me
