OOh Tiger, Happy Wedding Anniversary Enjoy your night out.

The show was just weird and disturbing really very matter of fact with people who didn't look at all raunchy being the raciest. But a bit addictive watch it
Next time I am tucked up in bed awaiting DH's return I will read my kindle I think!!

Double, Interpol? The sex suit was PVC, with electrodes at relevant points. She was describing it in detail. It could be good though, like a sort of full body slendertone.

Electrodes??!!
Interpol - yes she took DN out of the country without BIL's permission which is abduction, and in fact manipulated things by cancelling access visits by text so that he didn't even know for about 2 months. In the end he found out by going round to their old neighbours. He spent literally thousands on solicitors, and tracked her down in Spain, Interpol gave the Spanish police her address but when they visited she said she wasn't , and that was it, they wouldn't do anymore. BIL hasn't seen her since as they then moved in Spain. Although she seems to manage to collect the maintenance payments OK.
Oh and she threatened by text to have him kneecapped - her DS's dad and other characters she knew in Spain were rather dodgy shall we say.

I have had no cookies so far today.

SDP fabulous milestone achieved darling

And don't apologise - it's hard not to feel a pang in your ovaries and in your heart when you still think there's a hole in the family. But nieces and nephews are such a blessing so exciting times. My SiL has just managed to get through to 14 weeks after years of ttc and miscarriage. It has been so heartbreaking. I had got to the point of seriously starting to think about offering to be a surrogate but I'm so glad for them that they're on their way

10th wedding anniversary .... congratulations Tiger and Mr Tiger. That's tin isn't it? I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful evening

Oi Double noooooo cookies . And Jeez. Sorry about your DN ... that must be really hard for all concerned.

And Lizzy is that a Jillian tummy that I'm starting to see appear there?

I have managed to stay the same weight this week (sort of) which is quite good as I think I'm on a hidden AF and I have not been moving as much this week. I am fasting again to see whether I can go down tomorrow but it will required a massive poo a lot of will power on my part as I'm finding being caught in the house with a toilet training DS who likes to poo in his pants and doesn't care if he sits in it for ages and an elevated foot husband rather depressing. Hoping to get 30 mins later to try running

your poor brother.

lizzy I didn't watch the sex documentary - I'm forever scarred by that dogging one the other month

Double why not promise yourself one at 9pm, that's what I do when there's baking calling me and when 9 eventually rolls around it tastes 10 times better. And crikey on the sister in Spain saga!

Tiger congratulations! And a child free night, how blissful.

SDP it is hard when others are pg, it's such an obvious physical thing. I'm sure the minute you see dn you'll melt and forget it all. And well done on being sub-12 stones, funnily enough I did find that the 11-somethings went quickly, hope it does for you too.

Joy of joys I am bmi healthy! My bmi was 32 in Jan and today it is 24.9. I am soooo pleased, I'm out for dinner tonight and am baking like a demon for Fathers Day (that's all DH wants ) so I may well be unhealthy by Monday

Lego fecking brilliant chief \/ . Well done dude

tea x-posted. Sorry about the ankle troubles, and bleurrgh at potty training. Having done ds1 and ds2 I'm pinning my hopes on dd being a breeze and just doing it herself - I have told myself that all girls are very good at potty training and I refuse to listen to any evidence to the contrary.

Ha ha, DD was a nightmare, she refused to go at all for 9 hrs, then let it all go on the kitchen floor!
Congratulations on your spanking new BMI Lego.
And Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Tiger.
I should point out that BIL is DH's brother and That Woman is not related to me except by ex-marriage! DN will be 13 in August, so it's 11 years now since we've seen her.
Good idea about saving the cookie. I'll aim to manage without, but if I can't will definitely put it off till then.

Lizzy - you've put me off with the mention of electrodes!
Double - your poor brother and niece.
Tea - how fab for your SIL, I love a happy ending. And good luck with the potty training, my ds was hopeless, it seemed to take ages... [ not helpful... ]
Lego - Congrats on being healthy!! Good chiefing! And don't tell Tea but toilet training dd was a dream, one accident then she went to the toilet every time. Girls are easier - fact!

Yes I thought that too lego. It wasn't the case but we are more or less there. Dd still refuses to use the potty at my parents house though. Mind you everything seems more difficult with dd, she is very strong willed compared to ds at that age. BUT fab work on the weight loss and being a healthy bmi. And you've done it from January? Good going!!

tea sounds like there's always something going on at your house. You probably do need to get out for a bit. Is the ankle any better?

Happy 10th anniversary Tiger have a fab time tonight

Gosh double that's awful, must be very hard for everyone. The Spanish police sound fantastically efficient don't they?

Any nice plans for the weekend Chiefs? Even though I don't work Fridays I still get that Friday feeling, just nice to have the family home and not have to get up, do packed lunches etc.

It's taken me ages to type this, have had to empty dd potty 3 times, one contained the biggest poo I may have ever seen! Amazing considering her size.

SDP she's obviously training to be a Chief.
It's DD's First Communion on Sunday so we have lots of family coming and I have it all planned in my little notebook like a military operation. The house will rarely have looked so clean and tidy.

Ooh big day double. I'm sure you have all bases covered.

It's funny, me and dh were going through all our photos on the computer and found loads from ds First Communion. He was such a happy smiley boy. Now his favourite word is humph or mm and many other mumbly monosyllables. Apart from when he wants to talk to me about Minecraft, then he's quite chatty.

LOL I have similar at the moment with DS - my dad has got him a Raspberry Pi, which arrived a few days ago, in bits. I know NOTHING about it, but it doesn't stop him keep asking me, or keep wishing for grandad to arrive so he can do it with him. I suspect grandad didn't realise he was going to need to dedicate his entire time up here to helping DS with his bloody Raspberry Pi. He only has himself to blame quite frankly.
DS's First Communion was a lot less stressful though, mainly because DS didn't much care what he wore whereas DD has been stressing about it for about 2 years and is STILL having sleepless nights that her dress or hair or shoes isn't right. Driving me bonkers. She was awake from 3am this morning because she wasn't sure she'd get everything right in the practice today, and that doesn't even involve proper clothes!

Yes ds was easy, just a suit and it didn't really bother him. I can imagine it is a lot worse with girls who do care what they wear. It will be a fab day no doubt. Bet you have lots of nice food going on?

Sunday may be just a little stressful then

Ooh no, barely any food at all. Only 6 different fillings for baguettes, quiche, posh pork pie, salad, crisps, ginormous chocolate brownie cake, apple tart and mini macaroons. I shall be staaaaarving.

Oooh, baguettes, pork pie and quiche. Mmm!

I would make a bit more, doesn't sound nearly enough

Sounds lush Double
Am sooooo glad I am past the potty training hell. Potty training Ds1 when Ds2 was a wee babe in arms (who did about 8 or 9 poos a day) was one of low points in my life. Literally covered in poo for weeks

Have gymmed, did some interval training on cross trainer and weights, now have a large glass of dry white.
Have had quite a momentous week. Have made big decision re: career. I am going to retrain as a teacher. I have started ball rolling and will have teaching practice this term and hopefully start on the job traing in sept 2014.
Blimey

Wow, that's a life changer Lizzy! Good for you!

Fantastic news Lizzy. I've changed my career completely 3 times (lecturer > programmer > advertising) and though scary at the time it was exhilerating and has always been a success. My motto is always Go For It!

By the way, happy wedding anniversary Tea!

Wow Bssh, those are some career changes!
Thanks both, feel upbeat and sorted, though there is some way to go yet!
Have done Parkrun, my friend turned up unexpectedly. She's said she was going to for months, was lovely. Just took it slow and steady, so not my fastest but so much better than last week and the rain held off until the end.
Have lovely weekends all and Happy Anniversary Tea

Quick update!

Dsis had her baby boy last night. Came very quick once they started her off (must be in our genes, neither of us have had a long labour). She mentioned the name Aiden but nothing is confirmed. 7lb 13 both ok and hoping to be home this afternoon

Double have a great day today, hope dd isn't too stressed and enjoys her First Communion. I will be thinking of all your different baguettes and quiche!!

Yay, congratulations Aunty SPD
Yes, good luck Double.

Have been to gym, after making bacon sandwiches for the males. Dh went for a run at 7am and loved loved his new running vests we got him. What a turn up, he normally just wants a giant Toblerone

Ds2 was at a party yesterday afternoon and saw some of the other Moms who I haven't seen for ages and they were all complimenting me on my weight loss. So I felt v good. Despite scales not going down as quickly as I would like I am obviously changing my body shape and toning. Ah well.

Hi chiefs. May I waddle back in? I posted a bit on thr first couple of threads but then crashed out in a pool of Nutella. Back for another stab at it - been following you all and you are doing AMAZINGLY. Randall I can't believe how much you've lost and tea, Double and Lizzy you are all doing so brilliantly too, I'm in awe.
Been working on my bingeing habits and in keeping up with my exercise. Now I really do want to get to grips with dieting. I'm 36 and feel I really want to get this sorted before I develop massive health probs. So - shamefacedly - I'm returning in a very embarrassed fashion and not actually having lost any weight!

Hello and welcome back Buzzy
My weight loss has been slow (very) and steady but it's on right track.

Are you on MFP?

I am making a lamb sag and a chicken tikka masala for Father's day meal, dh loves a curry! Both on Good food site, both healthy and low cal.
