You can do it all through the mymumsnet tab at the top of the page. Add your pics and choose whether you want to share or keep private. Apparantly you need to share 1 for it to work so I've put a photo up with none of us in it. Then just add whoever's usernames you want to see them to your mate list.

thanks polly..... they both isobel and DH ARE gorgeous she clearly takes after him!

So, we had to have the left over chinese for lunch, but there wasnt much, so not too bad.

Dinner is going to be:
Grilled chicken breast with garlic and herbs
Boiled Pots, broccoli, carrots and some other veg!

I genuinly have forgotten to weigh myself this week so far. I usually do it on a tuesday morning. Wish i had, i reckon i was a lot lighter!

So will weigh now.. dreading it

tangarine · 24/10/2007 15:29

Hi susie,

Great to hear dh is home. Enjoy yourselves!

We've just had friends for lunch - sausages, mash, brocolli, ratatouille, but not too much of any of it.

MarkStretch · 24/10/2007 16:51

Hello all

Still doing my WW but I have THE WORST PMT TODAY AND I AM GOING TO SCREAM!!!!!!! DD AND DP ARE AVOIDING ME AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS EAT CHIPS AND CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, rant over, phew feel better now, thanks.

oggsfrog · 24/10/2007 19:36

Weigh day today and I've only lost 0.25lb .
Ah, well. I'm still sticking to it and although it's not much, at least it's in the right direction.

spottyshoes · 24/10/2007 20:55

Oh Gawd what a bad day. Worst so far for me I think;

Brekkie: Mini Shredded Wheat & fruit
11'ses Cappuccino & bag of buttons
Lunch: Goats cheese, Roasted Vegetable & Pesto Panini (put loads of pesto in )
Dinner: 1/2 a hawian pizza hut pizza - the one with the cheesy bites on aswell!!!! a couple of potato wedges & salad.
Now: Cappuccino & peanut m & m's

Add to that the donut I ate last night.....

On a tiny plus note I have cut the small spoonful of brown sugar out of my Cappuccinos! lol

MarkStretch · 24/10/2007 21:02

Goodness, sorry, don't know what came over me but a hot chocolate orange drink appears to have totally cured me!

Sooooo the WW is going ok and made a lovely beef goulash in the slow cooker today which we had for dinner with steamed veg. Really filled me up and it was a WW recipe at only 6 points. Have been making my yummy salad box for work with as many vegetables I can cram in as possible!

Spoke to my cousin last night and her and her DH and DD are coming up at the weekend to stay with me, DP and DD. Can't wait to see them but I know it will mean much wine and probably a chinese on Saturday night and then my mum has invited us all over for sunday lunch! FOOD!

Will be good, will be good, will be good.

spottyshoes · 24/10/2007 21:39

Aww thanks PWD - that pic was taken on one of the 3 occassions since having babyshoes that I've actually had time to straighten my hair!!! - it's just curly mess these days

I had a real struggle adding your name to my list coz of all your oooo's - had to copy and paste in the end

MarkStretch · 24/10/2007 21:50

Ahhh spotty you're baby is gorgeous! I'm soooooo brooooooody, want a baby EVEN more than chips now.

pollywollydooooooooodle · 24/10/2007 23:46

well, i think i've put some pics on for you all to see, let me know if you can't, i've probably spelt your name wrongly or something daft!

MarkStretch · 25/10/2007 07:56

Ooohhh cute too Polly. Will have to get some pics of my big 5yr old and my SD, also 5. They are a right pair of terrors when they get together. Still broody.........

laloupgarou · 25/10/2007 11:12

Hi girls

All your pics are lovely, what gorgeous dcs. Will have to get some pics uploaded too when I get the chance.

I need a big, collective popmpom shake over my way today, I think ! Have been doing pretty well, jeans are feeling looser and other people are even starting to comment that I look like I've dropped a few lbs. Unfortunately this is the point when I usually think I can revert to bad habits without damage and end up gaining what I've lost again, grrr. We go away on Tuesday and I would love to have lost another couple of lbs by then!

Love the Hallowe'en emoticons

spottyshoes · 25/10/2007 20:27

I dont like this new format (There is a new format isnt there and not just my comp playing up???) cant seem to find the end of threads very easily.

Brekkie: cant actually remember but probably cereal of somekind
11'ses: Cappuccino & WW 1 point Carrot slice
Lunch: Carrot & butter bean Soup & half a Cheese & marmite panini
PM T: Apple & plum
Dinner: Minted Lamb Chops with peas, sweetcorn, brocolli, green beans.

Have banana bread in the oven so will be having a slice of that later with another capp.

Amazing news Polly - Double Choc Mocha is good for you!!!!!! Well if you look at the sugar content its better than the plain mocha! and half the sugar of the normal capps!!! Figured I better go for the healthy option so bought two boxes

pollywollydooooooooodle · 25/10/2007 20:32

well hubby Cooked tonight in a fancy stylie, so
brekkie ...1 slice toast and lf spread
lunch...2 slices toast with smaoked mackeral pate, apple
afternoon...small slice cake (but no cappuccino...swings/roundabouts etc)
eve..tomato and goats cheese tart, onion couscous, roast veggies, salad....it was so nice i went back for seconds of everything! then grapes....

now am full and anticipate being unable to lie on my stomach tonight.... will have to lie like this '.../.o

spottyshoes · 25/10/2007 20:39

PMSL Love the diagram!!!!!!!! And dinner sounds so yummy - my kinda grub, can I come for tea at yours please?

pollywollydooooooooodle · 25/10/2007 21:28

It was partly because of you spottyshoes! i read out some of your lovely sounding meals and he got that creative gleam in his eyes and went shopping!

Result!

did our profile page disappear as part of the site overhaul do you think?

spottyshoes · 25/10/2007 21:40

Well shucks, glad to be of service. What a lovely hubby you have! Cant get mine to shop much past the malteser isle . I absolutely love goatscheese! Until the other day I hadn't had it since fell pg then realised I CAN EAT IT!!!! Will be nicking that idea from u as it sounds gorg. One of my faves is to have it melted on toasted ciabatta (or better still bruchetta with the garlicky tomatoes)topped with caramalised onions with a side salad with mustard dressing and cold glass of white wine. Mmmmmmm that will definately be appearing on one of my menus in the next couple of days!

pollywollydooooooooodle · 25/10/2007 21:43

and probably mine now!

dh is very amenable to anything involving his stomach.

hope you have had a good day...need to go and do the ironing now....hubby never picks up on hints about that!

spottyshoes · 25/10/2007 21:49

Now ironing is the one thing that mine does do. Guess we cant have it all

Enjoy your evening x

susiecutiebananas · 25/10/2007 22:00

Hiya girls

I can still see your profile pages... lovely piccies! polly and spotty. I am SO broody at the moment, and isobel is only 10 months old! must be mad!!

I've personalised the look of my pages... I have it as a mixture. It is different. I quite like the option to have as many posts per page that you like.. also that you can have it with the first post at the top, or vice verca... its a bit more like my forum i'm used to. Si makes sense to me.

well, DH is out tonight on a course. its really odd, i'm not used to him going out in the eve then coming home to me! feels so very ... erm... 'normal'!!

We had grilled bacon and poached egg for brunch, ad as yet, no tea He's on the train home so waiting for him. We are having a little bowl of pasta and tuna and cheese with garlic oil drizzled over. hmmmm delicious

I still havn't weighed myself. please can someone remind my in the morning??? I'm so blooming forgetful these days.

Been on my bed flat most of the day. terribly sore. Had my mum and another vicar round this eve to hoover, iron and get isobel her tea and bath etc... so nice to see the carpet clean!

catch you all in a bit... keep it going girls... we CAN do this. we just CAN! OK

susiecutiebananas · 25/10/2007 22:04

Oh, and I was looking longingly at some red desert boots in the boden catalogue 9 the childrens one funnily enough) and was told to buy them and some other clothes too to cheer me up.... so, i did! £160 later... well, most if it was for Dd. so dont feel too bad... ish... i hope the credit card doesnt melt in his wallet

mylittlefreya · 26/10/2007 07:35

Hello!

Am feeling a bit confusicled by the layout.
And where did the smiley's hats go?

Really beautiful pictures, polly, spottyshoes, and susie. Thank you for sharing them.

We has lamb casserole last night, lots of veg and not much potato. Yummy. Have had yoghurt for breakfast.

Remember to weight yourself, susiecutie!!!

mylittlefreya · 26/10/2007 07:36

Just worked out the smiley hats thing
