Frugaleers - August 21 onwards

[Not2bObvious]

New thread! Time to get our act together

not you're doing so well
I on the other hand have been eating and drinking for England & it's not my birthday until tomorrow 😂. Have avoided the scales but will get back on this week. Party was brilliant last night & I did dance enthusiastically!!

Been busy with Mumbobs had to go up there myself because Dh went to the rugby . Consequently been excellent today for a change
Gen We used to stay the whole show but since we have gotten older like Not says free time is too precious now
Wishing you every bit of luck in the world for the embryos survival
Not hope you are ok , great weight !
Life you have been so busy with the house and moving Tuesday sounds a good plan

North we x posted , glad you had a great evening

It was so good Mrs and I eventually got a new top to wear after what seemed like hours of searching different Joe Browns outlets. There was a right performance to get it so I ended up not paying for delivery and with a discount! Loads of compliments on the top too 🙂

Delighted you had a great time north, a very happy birthday to you!!!! Scales are forbidden around birthdays, and you just enjoy yourself to the fullest 🥳
Had a lovely afternoon, ate a very tasty lunch and pretty much left it there food wise apart from a small pack of corn crisps. Did drink a fair bit of wine but over the course of the day so no real ill effects. Of course the SOD may have a different story to tell!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear north

Eaten lots today, not all
Of it healthy
11300 steps though

Happy birthday north 🎉🥳🎁🎂

Hope you have had a lovely day. It’s really cold here, the fire isn’t taking the edge off. Finally got to embryo transfer tomorrow, I’m teaching 9-11 then have the rest of the day off, transfer is at 12.
I’m WFH on Weds teaching online to minimise rushing about. Tbh I am feeling so tired already, I can hardly believe I’ll make it through the rest of term!
Steps crap today :(

Happy Birthday North l hope you had a wonderful day

life great step count it is another day tomorrow re the food
Gen am wishing you so much luck for tomorrow take care thinking of you sweetheart

Thanks mrs, the SOD Gods must have taken pity on me, 164.4 so first Monday in quite a while were I was lighter than the Friday. Glad you had a good food day.
All the luck in the world being sent your way gen, sorry work is so much - you're probably overwhelmed with everything on your plate. Being busy is good for keeping your mind off things at least?
I've a lot on tomorrow so it's going to be takeaway dinner, there I've said it and I am going to do it. I have the calories, and it'll make life easier. I've been v unpopular in this house with my mind changing about meals so I need to stick to this plan.

Good luck gen

Gen best of luck today, I hope your dreams come true.

north belated birthday wishes

Wishing you all the luck in the world Gen

Thanks all it went really well - both embryos defrosted perfectly and went in like a dream. Going to chill out for the rest of the day. I’m WFH tomorrow too which will be less hassle and stress than rushing about. My classes are all able to move online for the day.
Now for the two week wait!!

That's great news gen, feet up and think lovely thoughts.
Busy day today but I'm so bloody peckish the last 2 days, maybe it's because it's a bit cooler. I'm surfing the urges as much as possible but have given in to biscuits at lunchtime both days. Another 164'ish day, I'd say there'll be a jump after pizza dinner.

Rest up gen, all the luck in the world for them sticking

Fingers toes and everything else crossed for you Gen

Glad it went well gen .

195.5 this morning which is up a little but I'm not too worried. Spaghetti Bolognese for dinner last night!

Gen try not to tempted to test earlier this time around, just keep the faith

Slow cooked a ham today, haven't done that in so long. It's the maple one from Aldi which I've never had before.

happier I am going to try my best to make it to the official test day of 27th November!
I have nice weekend plans (London for dinner at a friend’s house on Friday, then Tate Britain for the Hogarth exhibition on Saturday and dinner out in a Turkish place, fairly late dash home as we couldn’t get anyone to do the second night with clingy DCat ) and next weekend we have friends over for dinner on 26th eve so between that and work I’ll have plenty to keep me occupied!
Going to try walking along the river listening to podcasts and audiobooks to stop me doom scrolling through ancient baby websites about other peoples IVF stories!
My food yesterday was terrible - shortbread, ice-cream, mince pies and pizza all featured 🤦‍♀️ Must do Better

I bagged up chocolate covered shortbread & froze mince pies my mother left behind yesterday and an apple pie my father bought. I'm not into these things well except the shortbread & they're just 85kcals each so they'll be ok.

196.4 this morning but happy scale trends have improved

I'd some of the ham with packet Mac & cheese last night for dinner so salt content through the roof!!

Better to freeze them and get them out the way happier
