i love english villages, it's like being in the new avengers.

BudaisintheZONE · 27/04/2010 06:58

Buda is back in Budapest. But was not in zone yesterday even after all the planning.

Didn't have salad at airport. Had McDonalds. Had 'discussion' with check-in girl about excess baggage charge - was adamant I was not paying as had had 10 extra days in Dublin and had not claimed any accomm/food charges. She disagreed. She got supervisor. I lost. Went to get salad and check-in girl was just in front so couldn't face queuing up behind her. Didn't have my normal Big Mac - had a chicken thing. Did have fries. Had water. Then had sandwich and wine and chocolate on flight. DH had made spag bol for dinner. Had some pasta but it was wholewheat and i had a small portion. Well small for me.

Seriously zoning now. Seriously. Weighed myself and have lost half a pound over 2 and a half weeks. Last five days in Dublin were my undoing. And no it didn't really make me happy. Am feeling bloated and bunged up.

MamaG/Aitch - I went to see MamaMia with a group of friends. They all have DDs so all sobbed at that song. I don't have a DD so sobbed that I would never have all that!

Jack - re scales - pick one set of scales to use and stick to that. Weighing on hard floor better than on carpet. My theory is that they will all weigh differently but that the loss should be the same!

Su - do you ever laugh out loud in court at some of what is said?

EricPicklesFatNeck · 27/04/2010 08:12

i was devastated when i realised all of southern england is not a miss marple set

buda - good to be home? it is hard to zone when away from home. (or at all!)

BudaisintheZONE · 27/04/2010 08:51

Yes EricP - good to be home. Fab weather (although due to rain today) - 22 degrees. All the bulbs DH planted in pots for the patio are now flowering and he planted up summer pots as well. Looks lovely.

Just spent 15 minutes mopping up utility room though as washing machine not draining so tried to clean filter thingie and it spewed water all over floor. Welcome back!

Oh - DH reckons I look "less fat in the face"!

bobbiewickham · 27/04/2010 09:21

lol at "less fat in the face".

The big smoothy.

BudaisintheZONE · 27/04/2010 09:28

Oh he is.

BudaisintheZONE · 27/04/2010 09:29

And .

That looked like I was unhappy at what you said! I'm not. It is very true! He has a very dry sense of humour and is king of understatement when it comes to compliments.

JackBauer · 27/04/2010 10:42

DH is like that, he told me my 'bum looks less wobbly'
From him that is major compliment so I see what you mean.
Forget about last 2 weeks, you have been under mega stress. Start again now you are home, refreshed and ready to Zone.

Never seen Mammamia, I fear I am missing the 'appreiates musicals' gene

bobbiewickham · 27/04/2010 10:45

Mamma Mia rubbish, hated it.

But even I cried at that bit

BudaisintheZONE · 27/04/2010 10:51

Jack - I cannot accept that I was majorly stressed I have to say! Was quite happy to extend my visit home. Although my mother would stress anyone! I was really good for about the first 10 days - then got into socialising and "oh well I am going home soon so won\t be able to have it" mode. But I didn't gain anything so happy enough really.

Am determined to be super-zoneish so that I have a loss on Friday. I SO want to get under 16 stone.

MammaMia WAS rubbish! As I said I went to see it with some friends and we had wine beforehand so I enjoyed it then. Bought the DVD to watch at Xmas and sat cringing at how bad it was. Turned it off after 10 mins. Even my mother hated it.

fishie · 27/04/2010 10:59

live mouse. i have moved the bread to a wall cupboard.

i am no heavier and no lighter STILL. living on brocolli and soy sauce. and meat, i made a sort of char siu thing our of pork fillet last night.

dinkystinky · 27/04/2010 12:08

Have to admit I'm in the hating Mammamia camp too - MIL made us watch it at xmas and I found it was semi-bearable provided I drank a gulp of red wine every few minutes though...

Geordie - congrats on new job.

Fishie - we have a mouse issue in our house too (mostly in the kitchen). I have to admit it does put me off eating when I go in there and see a little brown thing scamper away under the fridge. I think the DC are in league with the mice as they seem to lie dropping crumbs/food all over the place so am permanently cleaning up after them at home too.Am in awe at the mouse managing to work out how to get into your bread bin... Char sui sounds lovely.

Su - how did the trials go?

BudaisintheZONE · 27/04/2010 12:31

Why is there a HUGE black cloud over my washing line? Finally fixed machine and did a wash and hung it out. Black cloud. Rain spots. Took in washing. Rain stops. Of course. Black cloud still there!

fishie - I would have to be very brave and pick up bread bin and chuck it out in garden!

AitchTwoZone · 27/04/2010 12:36

i've not seen mammamia at the cinema but it's great for the dds imo. although julie sodding walters is shit in it.

EricPicklesFatNeck · 27/04/2010 14:10

my expectations for mamamia were v. low so i loved it! as long as you accept it doesn't actually make any sense and like the music whats not to like?
