Thank you So much Life and Happier 💐🤗

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 23/08/2022 07:28

Am awake early l had cramp in my leg 🦵😱
Very painful but gone now thankfully, l take huge Magnesium tablets for it too which has helped but it really hurts when it attacks 🙄
Am doing well here, even though l am just awake l feel in control , thank God, hope everyone is fine today too .
Have a lovely day everyone 💐

Gensola · 23/08/2022 07:45

mrs sorry about your leg, hope it feels better soon! Is your mum ok?
we are awake early in Hay with a mild hangover 😂 it’s so pretty here, think we will have a chill day and just explore the town. We also want to go to Crickhowell which is a very special place for us where we went on one of our first trips away as a couple. 💖
not thinking of you x

Ouch cramp

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 23/08/2022 22:06

Gen thank you re Mum Smile she is not doing so well at home, not eating or drinking unless under duress . l have told her straight today, either she eats and drinks or she will die . I am hoping to instill some will into her but l can't make her eat or drink .
Crickhowell is my home town .l was born there and grew up there and l know l am biased lol but it is a very special place Smile
Hope you managed to fit in a visit Smile
Life YES! Grin
Food has been fine thankfully , busy so very good Smile

Gensola · 23/08/2022 22:53

mrs DH mum is literally the exact same and is 92 - are they twins? She is refusing meds and food/water and wondering why she feels crap.
we had a beautiful afternoon in Crick today - pottered around the lovely shops, bought a cookbook in the book shop and had a coffee and large cake!
then back to Hay for a nap before dinner. Not very calorie friendly 🤣

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 24/08/2022 08:04

Gen l am feeling so mean to go on to her to eat and drink but it's all l can do. Despite everything l feel so sorry for her.
Your DH Mum has been worse than my Mum ever knew how to be though. She's a real piece of work but even knowing that , your DH will be upset and worried and feel helpless 😌
It's a reflection on how good and kind and compassionate your DH is, not on how good a Mother she has been to him unfortunately.
Am so glad you had a lovely day, Bookish is a lovely book shop where you can get a lovely cuppa ☕ and a cake 🍰🤗
My favourite shop is Nicholls. It has such lovely things in there ❤️
Enjoy the rest of your Mini moon sweetheart 🤗

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 24/08/2022 08:06

Good morning 🤗
No problems with my leg last 🌃 night thankfully 🤗
God keeping busy is just so helpful to stop the scoffing!
Been good here re the food thank God 🤗
Am going up to Mums soon have a good day everyone 😊

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 25/08/2022 18:31

I agree re M & S choc rolls just lovely. 🤗
Don't blame you re the gym life no point until you are feeling it 😌
I have been fasting all day busy with Mum so it really helps with the food thank God!

lifelongfrugaleer · 25/08/2022 19:44

They are the best mini rolls

I’m going to do les mills online, I have more aches and pains from not excising than when I do, I will begin 31 Aug as on leave for a few days

Happierwithouthim · 26/08/2022 12:00

lifelongfrugaleer · 28/08/2022 08:15

Yes, normally I wouldn’t advocate it but I’m in such a rut and poor eating I need the kick.

Gensola · 28/08/2022 08:19

I have not been too good today , l am afraid sarnies and sausage rolls in the hospital canteen. 🙄, l don't even like sausage rolls 😂

Gensola · 28/08/2022 17:22

She was a monster as always mrs 🤪 just on the way back home now, I think my period must be on the way as I’ve got very bad lower back pain, I haven’t done anything to it at all otherwise.

cheese and crackers for dinner tonight after a roast chicken lunch.

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 28/08/2022 17:51

I'm sorry you have to put up with her Gen 💐
She sounds like a narcissist to me . Hope your back is better sweetheart 💐🤗

lifelongfrugaleer · 28/08/2022 19:52

Ah I hope you ignored her Gen. Have a restful night

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 29/08/2022 09:07
