Oh forgot to tell you Katy, We both had hangovers on saturday morning! We only just made it down to breakfast! DIdn't realise Mr Cutie was on doubles, did you? Apparently, he thought he was on catch up

Polly, you have to join us next time make sureyou have your drinking boots on though, that Katy led me astray!!

Just settled a very unhappy little girl again... I think that was the 15th nappy today, her little tiny bottom is red raw. I've absolutely covered it in this fab cream I got with red clover in it, from earth friendly baby. It is really good. Cleared up her nappy rash over night last weekend, when we had to use disposables when away.

Just gave her a looong br feed and she's fast asleep again.

I'm sitting here now, with a tub of no fat fromage frais and a mango and a punnet of strawberries. I intend to dip them into the from' frais and make the last til i go to bed, to stop me getting into any more easter eggs!

katylessbumpy · 17/03/2008 21:02

vaguely remember him saying he was having a double.but thought it was just the first one lol no wonder he couldn't use the key card!
erm who led who astray?
i don't think you needed much encouragement pmsl.polly you'll have to watch her,she's a right one!chatting up the poor bloke who was doing her room and then plying me with vodka!

you mean Paul? bless him, with his really soft towels for my lovely little chappy?

Hmm, well, i'll ask Mr Cutie who was leading who astray... and Izzy, she'll be honest

I am about to throw the modem out of the window! I've been trying to get on all this time! Fuming I am!

Ended up having to have a bailys! Off to bed shortly, just so I dont eat any more easter egg type things! don't understand whats happened, I don't normally want to eat so much chocolate at all! I konw I was partial to the odd Lion bar, but this is ridiculous, I can't stop thinking about milky bars! must go to bed and get Dh to put the choc eggs etc up high where I can't reach it, after easter...

katylessbumpy · 18/03/2008 08:22

argh paul,didn't his lovely soft towels keep going missing

i feel like poo this morning.my eyes feel really heavy and my throat is killing me.
still managed to scoff some weetabix as i'm starving.
i'm back on track now so lunch will be salad or no point soup and dinner will be chicken and vegetables.
i'm back to feeling positive

Jahan · 18/03/2008 13:34

Sorry, not had a chance to read thread.
I hope everyone is doing ok.

I am not doing great on the diet
I haven't put any on (phew) but haven't lost any either.
Sleepless nights, constantly whingeing kids, dinner parties and lots of biscuits at home are all to blame .

Will try to log on and read through later.

belcantavinissima · 18/03/2008 13:54

hi

lost 2lbs this week so am pleased as thought i had wrecked it this week .

not had achance to read through thread but hope all of you are well and getting skinnier lol

LoveMyGirls · 18/03/2008 17:51

Hi Jahan and Bel Well done bel come on Jahan remember "i want to be thin more than i want biscuits!!!!!!!!!"

I have been slightly waviering (though i see it as more rewarding myself for working so hard!) this week too but not too bad really, i'm still hoping for a loss this week! About to have oven done fish and chips though but did have salad and loads fruit for lunch and walked to school and back earlier so not too bad especially as dc's have all just had sausage egg and chips and I didn't even nick a bite (tho very very tempted)

katylessbumpy · 18/03/2008 19:37

evening lovely slim ladies

well done bel and jahan
staying the same is better then a gain jahan and well done bel.2 lbs off

my throat is still hurting and i'm feeling all week and dizzy at least dh is home to look after me
lol

are men crap at looking after you when you are ill or is it just mine?

anyway i haven't eaten much apart from weetabix and throat sweets.not together though!

i'm hungry now though so might try some soup.
what's everyone else had/having?

OP posts:
mylittlepudding · 18/03/2008 19:44

Aaargh. Sorry I fell off the world.
We both have this eeeendleeesssss cold/ virus thing that has us both coughing still and it's nearly 2 weeks now. Sleep is terrible. Temperatures still. Just feel fragile and rough.

Staying the same, just, weightwise, eating is, well, struggling a bit. But, two days off, pre-nights. So that's something to look forward to. I would give anything for a full night's sleep though. Not missed a day of work. What a struggle.

Hope all are well.

katylessbumpy · 18/03/2008 20:00

mlp you poor thing
hope you get some rest on your days off.
we missed you x
when do you come back to manchester?

OP posts:
MrsFish · 18/03/2008 20:24

Katy - hope you are feeling better soon.

Its not just your DH that is crap when you are ill. When mine has a cold he takes himself off to bed as if he is dying, whereas if I am ill he wouldn't dream of having the day off work to take over... no, I am expected to get up and carry on as normal

LoveMyGirls · 18/03/2008 20:28

MLP that's so awful, you sound like you need time to recover no wonder it hasn't gone yet, can you arrange a day in bed on your day off?

I have eaten loads........

B- porridge/ honey
L- chicken salad (huge plate) followed by fruit salad and yogurt and a ferreo
D- fish and chips (in oven with spray light)
yogurt

Think thats it but feels like i've eaten loads more than that.....and I've walked which is good.

katylessbumpy · 18/03/2008 20:42

i'm starving.i don't know what i want.
might just make some soup or just go to bed.

i really wanted to do my stepper tonight but just haven't got the energy.think i might head off to bed and see how i feel tomorrow.

LoveMyGirls · 18/03/2008 21:36

Don't eat the choc polly it won't give you any satisfaction!

pollywobbledoodle · 18/03/2008 21:48

Lovemygirls, i know it won't in the long term but in the short term... mmmmm... it is a bit like being an alcoholic with alcohol in the house at the mo'.......anyway may do a bit of tapestry now to keep my fingers busy!!

katylessbumpy · 18/03/2008 22:02

DO NOT EAT THE CHOCOLATE POLLY!!!!!

anyway
brekkie...too shocked to eat
lunch...soup and l/f cream cheese salad sarnie
eve will be pizza and salad

katylessbumpy · 19/03/2008 14:23

7 lbs! polly i don't believe your scales either.throw them in the bin and buy new ones.NOW.
your menu's have been good,80% healthy,20% naughty which is a good balance.it must be your faulty scales or water retention.
are you still taking the supplement for your bowels?

OP posts:
pollywobbledoodle · 19/03/2008 14:28

am taking it but at a lower dose(too much wind!!

am not getting wound up about it...dd might have played with it...will get dh to stand on it tonight...his weight never really varies much unless he's had 5 pints and a curry(when it doubles )

pollywobbledoodle · 19/03/2008 14:34

speak later, just popping out...
