Mine was up at sf 2. Y?

Especially when I have 2 drag her kicking & screaming (well whining & moaning) out of bed at 7:30 on a school day. What's all that about????

I hate the fact it makes the day so long (ie I've had brekkie but am now at mid morning snack time WAY 2 early).

On the bright side it's a beautiful day here....great for a long strenuous walk out later. Maybe it'll all balance out.

katylessbumpy · 10/02/2008 09:29

it does make the day really long but at least the suns shining.dd is asleep on me now so i get half an hour recharge
dh is still in bed,no doubt he'll get up just in time to get the beer in before the football starts.

are you feeling more positive today squilly?

katylessbumpy · 10/02/2008 09:37

diet coke chicken

2 x chicken breasts (cut into pieces)
1 x red onion (chopped)
1 x 330 ml can diet coke
8 x tbs tomato sauce
worchester sauce to taste

fry off chicken and onion in frylight
add coke and tom sauce,
bring to the boil and keep on a rapid boil stirring frequently until the sauce reduces.
add worchester sauce
eat
it tastes like barbecue chicken.
the above serves 2 and is 3 1/2 points per portion on weight watchers

Very positive today thanks Katyb...Thanks for kind words. I didn't get on the computer last night (went to bed early with a good (change that for crap) book, then fell asleep over it...I am SO turning into my mum).

I like the sound of coked chicken. Sure to give you a high! I'll put it on the menu for today. Serve it with roasted sweet potatoes, roasted carrots and green beans. Yum!

DH due back any minute from car boot (he's fanatical) so he'll want bacon sandwiches. I'm up for grilled mushie sarnies with tomatoes and WW bread.

Got to go. DD is begging for laptop, so she can play Tamagotchi games. Lord help me!!!!!!

Have a good day all!

Hi everyone,

I'm seriously not having anything naughty from now until friday night because i've been so naughty! I had a little bit of choc on friday night (was celebrating losing 7lbs) then yesterday afternoon i had 1 slice of bread and butter (which is also counted as a treat) then I went out last night with my mum and 2 aunts for chinese!

Really really am going to be good now and walk lots and hope the naughtiness isnt going to catch up with me on the scales this week!

LoveMyGirls · 10/02/2008 10:53

Might get myself out on dd1's trampoline this afternoon as it's such a lovely day!

Hopeysgirlwasntbig · 10/02/2008 11:09

Morning, katy, do you mind if I cut and paste your diet coke chicken recipe onto this thread? It sounds yummy, I really want to get together some recipes as I'm bored of what I cook!! Need inspiration!

I'm hoping I haven't blown my 4lbs weightloss this week, I went to a girlfriends on Friday evening and my glass seemed to keep on filling without me noticing! I drank a bit more than the two glasses I was planning to. Silver lining I guess was I was VERY ill yesterday morning at 5am! Not that I'm condoning bulimia or anything

discoverlife · 10/02/2008 11:12

Having a bit of a disscussion on another thread about trampolines, because i don't have a net around mine. So I am getting flamed for not having one. Lovely, sensible MNer called Wisteria is fighting in my corner, along the lines of Mums being too careful of their kids these days.

katylessbumpy · 10/02/2008 11:35

hopeysgirlwasntbig go for it.i got it off the ww site

Even if I wanted to I couldn't get on a trampoline with DS ATM. Pelvic floor isn't good enough yet. LOL.

LoveMyGirls · 10/02/2008 11:48

I've got a net round mine because i'm a childminder I need every safety precaution I can possibly have, if i could just make all the children wear rubber suits that protect them from everything i'd be sorted

I think I would still have the net for my own children tbh but I do agree that people these days are ott with a lot of things.

susiecutiemincepies · 10/02/2008 13:12

hey all

Had a good ish start to the day. Lets not address the night I've had though.... ok, well, I'll confess. I was up at 2:30 am untl 5:45 with DD. IN that time, I had a large white chocolate with cinnamon hot chocolate with a marsh mallow... and a wham bar! GOawd knows why, I wa not even hungry. I hope the drink would help relax me as I was going mad at being up for the 9th or 10th night running with her.

Ive only had a slimfast bar this morning.

LAte last night before bed ( the first time! ) I had a natural yoghurt with a large spoonful of omega 3 seeds mix. It was delicious! really filling and just lovely. Made it so much more interesting. and SO good for me.

So, snacks today, will probably be the same.

Lunch: slimfast or baked beans on toast I think...
Tea: roast chicken with roasted veg and quinoa.

have a good day girls. Its lovely here.

Mine · 10/02/2008 13:14

I have come to the conclusion that the accident fairy is after me with a vengence this week girls. Have a listen to this one.
We live in a lovely cottage bordered by a proper stream, well I was doing the gardening and threw some root balls over the fence on to the bank of the stream (said bank being very steep and about 20 foot down to the stream) when I realise that my trowel was in the bundle of roots. So I tried to use the rake to get the trowel back, and dropped the rake over the fence as well, where it promptly slid down out of reach.
So I climbed over the fence (imagine me, all 19 stone of me, in my shorts, grunting as I got my leg over......the fence post), and I retrieved the tools. To find that I couldn't get back over the fence as the footing was dodgy. So I thought, it's easier further upstream, I'll get over up there. I had to get down to stream level, which I did, quite quickly, by accidently sliding the whole way down on my back, ripping said shorts from hem to waistband. I picked myself up thinking, thank God I've got some padding that could have really hurt. Now I was at the bottom I had to cross the stream as it was impenetreble bush on my side still, so I found a lovely big rock to jump to. The big rock was fine, the mud bank I jumped from wasn't, I ended up flat on back in the freezing cold stream, soaked from head to toe. I stood up and battled my way through a holly bush and got to where I needed to cross back and thought, well I'm wet already, so I just waded across, and finished ruining my trainers. I quickly got back over the fence without much trouble.

DH.... JUST LAUGHED..... I will kill him ..... slowly.

katylessbumpy · 10/02/2008 16:35

sorry discoverlife but pmsl.are you ok?

OP posts:
discoverlife · 10/02/2008 16:37

Ime fine I will probably be sore tomorrow, but actually feeling O.K. No more scratches than pruning a rose bush would give. I am going for a hot bath in a minute though.

belcantavinissima · 10/02/2008 16:38

sorry discoverlife i also pmsl- you cant blame your dh bet you wouldve laughed at him too if it were the other way round lol! hope you havent injured yourself though..... sorry for laughing!

discoverlife · 10/02/2008 16:41

Laugh away girls, I am snigggering myself, I must have looked a mess, soaked through, hair plastered to my face, muddy back with my shorts ripped and being held on with one hand. Me trying to maintain my dignity as I walked in.

katylessbumpy · 10/02/2008 16:41

glad your not hurt discoverlife.enjoy your bath
