'sits patiently waiting for someone to say hello'

good luck tomorrow for those who weigh

Sorry I have been a bit quiet just had quite a busy weekend of doing nothing!! Lots of pottering around, gardening, housework, shopping!

Gardening plans yesterday were thwarted by heavy rain over night! Strimming long wet grass is not ideal!

Will have a proper catch up later, just sat with DD eating her breakfast and a bit worried I might end up with milk & shreddies in my keyboard!

I have lost 2lbs! Dead chuffed with that!

Morning all

blondes Not surprised about the number of points in a spicy beanburger! Will take me all week to catch up with that (and the rest).

Are you still doing Clare Richards dvd? I seem to do a mix these days. Also like Davina.

bebe well done on your 2lb.

Dd was awake for most of the night, kept needing a drink because she was very hot (even after calpol), said her tummy hurt and I really hope she hasn't got a bladder infection again, as she had a scan last time, then a follow up with the paediatrician.

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/04/2010 09:57

BEBE well done on 2 lb loss
TRIMMER least it wasnt 29.5p like my breakie

have to say i have been very lax with my dvd the past month as couldnt be arsed but plan to get back into it - claire has also put all her weight back on after baby no 2 born i think nov 09

but i am going to the gym as and when im not working

GettinTrimmer · 26/04/2010 10:07

Yes, I saw that Clare had gained again

I was reading about her and she said eating relieved the metallic taste in her mouth when she was pregnant.

Did you ache again after bc?

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/04/2010 10:31

a tad - but not as bad as last week, i can only go once this week as working thur/fri as swapped days about

its dh d day on wednesday - one way or the other

wish us luck x

GettinTrimmer · 26/04/2010 10:40

Yes, I did think of that, all the very best of luck to you.

bebejones · 26/04/2010 11:18

Blondes - good luck for weds, fingers crossed for you & Mr Blondes!

Just put together 2 big leather office chairs for DH that were delivered this morning. Knackered now, they are so heavy & had to carry them upstairs! Bit cross he has bought them TBH, just more crap stuff in the spare room/office upstairs that will (hopefully) be DD's bedroom next year & we will have to 're-home' enough stuff already!

Got a tonne of housework to do today as friend coming over 2moro afternoon. Plus am going to go and brave Asda again later. Need more compost & and £1 a bag it's a bargain!

Well done Bebe, and GT, hope your DD is better today

Laughalot - this is long haul - don't forget!! Maybe weigh in early ( like Sat am) if you have a do like that, cos otherwise it's a deceptive blip.

Blondes - good luck on Wed

Well DH/Lassie made it home !! Hooray!!! We had DD's birthday at last, we picked him up from the airport on our way away for the night!! He did really well, that's for sure. Sadly he has gone again until Friday, but he was here when it mattered. Aslo sadly we missed a London week with his delays, but hey-ho.

I lost 1lb which was great, but think I need to do things differently because I have slowed right down almost to a standstill, and I have been very good. Not sure what though. Any ideas?

PISTE well done for 1 lb loss and yah for lassie getting home, esp for dd birthday

GettinTrimmer · 26/04/2010 15:42

laughalot I know how you feel with the gain but my easter indulgence has gone so yours will too.

I've got Saturday's 60 points to work off before next week!

piste well done on your 1lb. glad your dh got home too.

I think 1lb a week loss is good - I stayed the same for about 3 weeks in March. ww working well for me, although I need more than 20 points per day as was lightheaded a couple of afternoons after exercising strenuously (I see it as an easier way of counting calories and limiting the fatty stuff!).

Today, I am just starving, maybe connected to being knackered - dd as well, she's got a temperature and is being sick

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/04/2010 16:00

Sorry to heat dd still isn't well

I do think counting points works as long as you stuck to it

I had a moment of madness and a lindt bunny got slaughtered

GettinTrimmer · 26/04/2010 16:11

Oooooh

RatherBeOnThePiste · 26/04/2010 17:02

Am making Bebe's 3 bean chilli for supper for the DC and me, will let you know how it goes down!

laughalot · 26/04/2010 18:16

Piste well done on your loss and glad dh made it home .

Trimmer I hate gaining but it was a bloody brilliant buffet . Hope dd is better soon.

Blondes thanks for updating me how is things with dh ?

My dd starts pre school in the morning so im feeling a litte thenn feel , our ds is 5 so im used to the whole school thing I guess its because she is the youngest.

GettinTrimmer · 27/04/2010 09:16

Morning all

laughalot hope dd has a great time, first day in pre-school!! When my dd started school the first few days I found very difficult, but she bounded in without looking back...

Hope everyone else is OK. Can't go anywhere today as dd poorly, she isn't moving from the sofa and feeling very sick.

laughalot · 27/04/2010 12:08

Trimmer poor dd hope she is better soon.

She had a fab morning just wandered in gave me and dh a kiss and off she went. I was at school this morning myself so kept having a peek when she was playing outside and she was running around . She is really tired now though.

Poohbearsmom · 27/04/2010 14:03

Hello! Sorry bn awol dropped my phone n the toilet as ya do... Well done on all the losses and sts hav twice written long messages but dh's phone has eatten em or sumit... Shall jus give a big wave and pass around the coffee and hot water and lemon this time and hope for the best

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/04/2010 15:07

dropped phone down toilet?

sorry dd are ill and hope those starting school are enjoying it

i did take my self off naughty step but have placed myself back on it

i ate

Weatherspoons big breakie worth 29.5 points

Tho didn't eat 1 sausage and 1 hash brown and baked beans as not Heinz so maybe saved 5.5p. So actually ate 24p. Still very bad ESP as had a full one Friday as well

been a right piggy cant help myself eating crap this week - as i said d day is tomorrow for dh and tbh we are both crapping ourselves

obv will let you know the outcome via email as i said i dont want myself linked via google

bebejones · 27/04/2010 15:53

Hello all!

Piste - how did the chilli go down?

Laughalot - Glad DD enjoyed pre school

Trimmer - Hope DD gets better soon

Blondes - fingers crossed for you & DH, I think you are entitled to a blow out brekkie!

PBM - lol at phone!

Had friend & her DD over this afternoon which is always a stress as my DD is very rough and tumble tom boyish & her DD is very quiet & well behaved! Bought a load of food for DH for lunch today coz he said he would be home just after lunch & then he rang and said he won't be back til later! The cornish pasty has been wafting it's yumminess my way all afternoon. Pitta pizzas & salad for dinner. Got some salsa & healthy living flour tortillas in tesco & some quorn 'chicken' dippers, keep seeing a kfc ad that is driving me demented so thought I would try & do a lf imitation! Will let you know how that goes 2moro!

GettinTrimmer hope your dd is feeling a little better - i hate feeling trapped inside the house!

poohbearsmom i drop my phone in the toilet and sink and bath all the time! i have the worst luck with phones!

blondeshavemorefun the breakfast does sound yummy, i had a bag of nuts and dried fruit for breakfast and halfway through found a LIVING bug!!! ick ick!! good luck for tomorrow hun.

well, ive been pretty good this week, but was SHOCKING over the weekend.. think im still hormonal finding it hard to stick to anything...
but did well today and yesterday

anyone know how much a marshmellow is in points?

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/04/2010 16:07

marshmallows the pink/white ones are 2 for 1/2p - generally 10g = 1/2p
