[bebejones]

Old thread here

Nice new home for us now that March is over!

Blondes all the best for you and dh xxxxx

2 for 1/2 p??? thats great!

i just worked out how many points my tiny 75g bag of mixed nuts and dried cranberries and raisins is (the nuts werent salted or roasted). according to my calculations the bag was 16 points!!!!! how is that possible?? i only ate half the bag thank god! but hello???? 16 points???

Bebe
Nom nom nom nom nom...veggie chilli was lovely, we give it a big thumbs up. We had it hotter than your recipe cos the DC love things v spicy and they had it with rice. Then with the leftovers I made a sort of spicy rice thing that they had with iceberg and cucumber in their lunch-boxes which also went down v well, they don't really like sandwiches, so it was ideal. So thanks for the recipe, will def. do again.

Just for info - can one freeze cooked rice?

Laughalot - glad DD's first day went well
Blondes - Hope tomorrow goes well for you
PBM - REally don't tell DH but I dropped my old phone down the loo, it was in my back pocket and it sort of slid in. That is a secret here, no one spill the beans to DH.
Sarah - I can't cope with points, I am just doing calorie counting, but think I need to up my exercise
Trimmer - Hope DD is off the sofa and perking up, my DD is feeling grotty now, she probably caught it from your DD!

Piste - I always add extra chilli powder & paprika when I do it too! Don't think you can re heat rice some risk of something. Could be wrong Sure someone else will know!

I thought that too about rice being potentially dodgy.We added chopped up jalapenos and a bit more chilli powder. Yum yum.

Not meant to reheat/freeze cooked rice but the blondes do with chinese chicken fried rice

wouldn't do it at work/for kids but I have a cast iron stomach lol

thanks for support xx

Got my first injection 2moro morning & really crapping myself!! Not really needle phobic, it's just having to do it to myself that is really playing on my mind! Plus the fact that it could potentially make me feel like I have flu for 24-48hrs!

Blondes will be thinking of you & MrB 2moro too, hope it goes ok x

Sarah - Points confuse me too. Who'd have thought marshamallows cracked up the points though! They are fat free (and packed full of sugar )

Sarah. How many cals and sat fat was in your bag? Nuts are very bad/high on ww

bebe. Good luck with your jabs ((hugs))

just taking dh to chippy for cod&chips. I will try hard not to have any but quite frankly diet has totally gone to pot today

didnt know - am not a big nut girl usually! anyway i know am feeling really really icky like im all achy and coming down with something so im comfort eating! silly girl

Morning all

blondes All the very best to you and dh today

sarah I was the same over the weekend, but still hoping to see a loss on Saturday - what day do you weigh in?

bebe hope goes well today with your jab.

PBM Is your phone alright?? I've dropped mine a few times (not down the loo - yet!), luckily it's OK.

piste There's a nasty vomiting bug around atm, probably is the same one, they travel!

Dd perked right up yesterday and wanted to go to school today, thanks all. I am a bit concerned she may be knackered as not much food, but she bounded in as usual.

I was lurking about on another thread, and someone suggested "Don't do anything to lose weight that you can't see yourself happily doing for the rest of your life." Really good advice I thought, so that means I have to give up the evening snacking on nuts, etc eating children's left-overs and too big portions (caused the problem in the first place!)

morning - thanks piste, trimmer, bebe, laughalot, pbm for your support - i feel physically sick at that moment

i didnt have any of dh fish and chips but had a healthy chicken kebab 4.5p instead - trying to rein in some points but feel/fear there will be a gain friday

trimmer, glad dd is better and back at school

bebe hope injecting yourself isnt hat bad (hugs) x

jodie, how is detox and did you try on dress?

anyone seen fruitgums?

GT - glad your DD is better - so is mine! I think she was fighting off a virus, which fortunately never came to fruition, but made her feel generally grotty for a while. She is a hardy soul, but would have to be totally at the end of her rope to take a day off. Secondary school education moves at such a pace that if you have time off, it can be hard to makeup lost ground.

Hope Blondes is getting on ok today.

Hope Jodie is also ok, and not in a dettoxed heap somewhere. Is it FD (Frock Day) this weekend?!

Also Bebe - hope you don't now feel grotty

Hi guys, I'm still here, still struggling on. I've been abit poorly this week, I got bitten on Friday on my leg by some bug or other and it's got infected and made me feel fluey. I went to docs yesterday and he's put me on some anti biotics and they hve given me an upset tummy! (but that's good, right?)

I tried the dress on last night and the zip meets, but I can do it up yet! The big day is on 9th may, so a week Sunday arrggghh we are getting closer, another inch and I'll have cracked it. Out for a run in a minute (if I can get off the toilet!)

blondes good luck with dh today! Don't forget to email what's happened (nosey cow emoticon) seriously though, I'm sure we will all be here fir you whatever the outcome.

Piste glad you had. Nice weekend with dh and he made it back in time, I bet dd was made up!

trimmer glad your dd is feeling better now.

Pmb how's the house move going? I've dropped my phone down th loo before too. It dried out quick enough.

Laughalot how's things going?

Bebe hope the pasty went in the bin!!!!

Sorry if I've missed anything, I'm on my phone, it's not easy posting on the phine, how do you do this all the time pmb?

Blondes - hope things are ok

PBM - have you moved house yet?

Trimmer - glad DD is feeling better

Jodie - that you feel poorly, fingers crossed you can get in the dress!

Have been a big brave girl & done my injection. Seriously thought I wasn't going to be able to, and my hand was shaking so much. Leg really sore now, but not feeling too bad...yet! Have had a blow out treaty lunch. Had some little sandwich roll thingys & a cheese twist from tesco (responsible for my weight gain whilst PG) and a jam doughnut!! Figured I deserved it after sticking a 1.5" long needle in my leg! Must try and let it be a one off, 3 more lbs til I reach the 3 stone mark!!

Hi guys phone starting to mend, switching its self off and generally acting a bit mad but workin at least can i confess for the first time ever that this is actually the forth phone it had meet a watery grave one was actually my little sisters fault but the other three have been all me
will catch up properly real soon iv missed ye this last week but am so knackered please forgive of my lovely imaginary cyber friends

Of's should read me's...

Hi, hows everyone doing? For some reason all my saved threads seem to have disappeared so I'm having to look for them again. Has anyone else had that problem?

Just looking at the last page, PBM what a pain about your phone. I have had my phone in the toilet and the bath at various stages too. From memory once it did eventually dry out!

Bebe, that must be really hard having to inject yourself but well done you for doing it.

Jodie, hope you are on the mend.

Blondes - From everyone's wishes I understand something must be going on for you but not worked out what so good luck anyway!

I've had a bit of a migraine and tummy upset this week. Feeling much better now but tummy still a little bit funny.

Morning ladies

I have been up since before 6am this morning, I dropped dh's alarm clock yesterday, thought it was alright, but it woke us at 5.50am!

I am a bit knackered, but just about to do Davina, can't face running today.

blondes thinking of you....

PBM Hope you phone gets sorted! Good luck, I seem to remember you have a health check up, is it/was it this week? Take care.

jodie Impressed the zip on your dress meets! My Monsoon dress size 12 is waiting for me, but won't fit until I am 11 stone or just under...

bebe I bought some rhubarb yesterday, and I am trying your compote today with some greek yogurt.

How are you today? Well done for nearly getting to the 3 stone mark! The children's garlic bread yesterday was just too much for me and I had about 1/2 a baguette

sarah Hiya! How's it going?

mummymels Good to have you back! Sorry you've not been feeling well, hope you are better very soon.

Quiet in here today!!

Blondes - hope everything is ok?

Trimmer - have made rhubarb compote today too! Is really sharp this time though but still quite nice, just got a bit of a kick!!

Mummymels - hope you feel better soon

Feeling no ill effects from my injection yesterday which is amazing! Just got to build myself up to next weeks on Friday...at home without the nurse!

Doing our mock kfc wraps for dinner, fingers crossed it'll work. I keep seeing that ad & I normally don't like kfc that much but I really really want one!

hi guys hows the day been? Anyone heard from blondes? Hope your ok hun

mummymels lovely to see you back, hows the go lower going?

Bebe i think il give them wraps a try they sound good, glad your not feeling rough have they/you decided if you are doing the 6month or 9months of this treatment?

Trimmer your lovely to remember! ya iv my breast scan tomorrow feeling a little nervnus now but much better to get all checked then jus worry about another thing... Hows dd now?

Jodie well done on getting the zips to meet stick at it girl your gona look fab! I just decovered on wednesday that they have apps for free to upgrade or whatever your internet! Im so outa touch seriously i thought they cost and have never even thought of getting one it used to take me an hour to write a message no joke it was like every single letter had to be uploaded but dh's phone wouldnt even let me onto mn hadnt enuf memory, so i tried lookin for mobile links and found free app's its called opra mini and im still in shock how fast my internet is now its like havin a laptop def give it a look

laughalot hows the week going?

Sarah iv been waiting a week (due to wet phone and detoxing from mn) to ask ya to tell me all about your sabbath? Do ye hav a big slap up meal and all?

Dis well done on joining that dance class, sounds great fun

piste glad ye had a good bday celebration whens dh home from saudi?

mile long message over! Sorry if iv forgotten anyone xxx

Trimmer - What a pain about the clock. Talking about early awakenings - has anyone else with young children found they are waking up earlier since the mornings have been lighter? My son likes his sleep but my daughter is up on average about 5:30 in the morning lately.

Bebe - Your wraps sound nice. What have you put in them? How did they turn out? That's great news you are having no side effects from the injection. I hope you don't mind me asking, what are you taking them for? I think I must have missed something.

PBM - Good luck for your scan tomorrow. That application sounds great for your phone. I really am not very good with all this technology. I do have internet on my phone but it's just a normal phone and not an iphone or blackberry or anything although I would love to have something like that. All going well here thanks.

I'm fine thanks, just having a moan!

PBM/Mels - I have Relapsing Remitting MS (meaning the worst effects come and go) the injections are to slow my relapse rate and therefore slow the progression of the MS & limit the damage to my nervous system. I am only going to be having injections til end of Sept (24th will be my last) as I need to have 3 months clear to TTC. So I will have the best xmas present ever when I get the green light for TTC on Dec 24th!

PBM - I don't have a smart phone & my phone really struggles with internet. I tried looking at MN on my phone but it took 10mins just to load the home page, so I gave up! Hope your scan goes ok x

I had Tesco healthy living tortilla (which has added linseed in & is lower in fat) with 3 quorn dippers, some light mayo, some salsa, some half fat grated cheese & some salad......YUM! Had it with lf rustic oven chips. Am doing vegetable lasagne for dinner coz I really fancy it, will have to save some cals for the white sauce though!

Blondes - hope everything is ok?

HI ALL - sorry been awol since wed - was getting my head round stuff as was dh - thanks for all your messages of support

JODIE well done on dress nearly fitting, another week and M&S tummy knickers and you will be there

TRIMMER glad dd is feeling better and lol at alarm clock

BEBE well done for injecting, hope it gets easier each time, and glad no ill effects

PBM seperate phone and leave in dry/raw rice and should absorb any moisture, and LOOK after them, i often fb/mn/email in the bath and havnt dropped yet also hope scan goes well
