Morning Slinkies

Ali Hope all is well and the sickness is a good sign. Do take care and let us know.

piste Thanks for the idea for 8x8, atm we are on 3, 4, and 5. I'd like to find some computer games and stuff like that to get him to do it.

PBM I can't say the same, I struggled with maths. I didn't learn my tables either, so being lazy and struggling didn't result in very much success! It didn't help having a brother and sister both whizzy and maths and science (not great subjects for me!).

I have got Maths GCSE, grade C, which I did as an adult and was immensely proud Smile

Sorry to hear about the flare up again. Hope all goes well at the GP, don't blame you for having a rant. I think I had one earlier about something or the other Hmm

blondes I also was hoping to be at goal by now, but as Piste always says, life gets in the way of dieting, we are in it for the long haul. I think realistically it is Christmas for me also.

I was hoping to fit into my Monsoon size 12 summer dress but it hasn't happened. So next year...

Don't forget about that Shred DVD, I am going back to mine and running when back from hols.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 20/08/2010 08:55

Trimmer - have a lovely hols. When are you off?
PBM - hope the GP was helpful.
Bebe - I think £100 on a bag is perfect! Stuff your DHWink
Blondes - stay in the zone and those trews will be gorgeous this autumn!

My bro and his family are currently en route from japan via somewhere in the Middle east. It's a long way round but flights are extortionate from Japan. They arrive at heathrow early afternoon so we are getting organise!
Really not sure what the boys will eat. My lovely SIL does mostly Japanese stuff but occasionally western but it is so expensive to buy cereal or bread etc. Got pizzas and salads for today cos I know they like that. Then we will see!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 20/08/2010 11:46

Thanks for the good wishes - everything is fine and we saw a heartbeat :) :)
My GP was worried about the possibility of ectopic but the scan has ruled that out.

I bawled like a baby with relief and now I feel like I could sleep for a week! We stopped for a MacDonald's breakfast on the way home - not the way to stay slinkie!

GT - well done on sts :)

bebejones · 20/08/2010 13:04

Ali - So pleased that everything is ok, you deserve the brekkie after that! :)

Will be back later to catch up when DD is napping!

GettinTrimmer · 20/08/2010 16:44

Bonjour mes amis,

I have the result for my AS Level French. It is a grade B!! So pleased with that.

Going on holiday tomorrow, we have an early start and leave at 6.30am, train to Gatwick, plane to Nice, then taxi to the camp site.

See you all in a fortnight Smile

bebejones · 20/08/2010 19:36

Well done Trimmer on sts & AS result! :) Have a lovely holiday!

Blondes - Gardening is fab exercise, think of all those calories you have burned...must be at least 4 sausages worth! Wink (Had sausages for tea & thought of you :o) Well done on sts!

Piste - hope you are having a lovely time with your family!

PBM - hope the GP helped today. Fingers crossed they can sort it out!

I was hoping I would have reached my goal by now too...but I guess that was a bit of a long shot seeing how much I had to lose! Nearly there now though, so close I can almost taste it! :o I will be most cross if I haven't lost at least 1lb this week have been SO good! Having a treat tonight coz it's stab night so having some hm gooseberry crumble that I made & froze a few weeks back! :o

Went blackberry picking at the local PYO farm with DD this morning. It was fab (if a bit muddy) and DD loved it! No great surprise coz she loves helping her Grandad dig potatoes & pick beans and things like that! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. I am about but gonna be busy so apologies in advance if my posting is short & sweet over the next couple of days! :)

But had too much hm cheese bread this afternoon & with dinner (spag bol)Blush Didin't actually eat all my pasta was too full of bread. :( Hoping I won't have done too much damage after my week of exceptionally good dieting! :o Wink

Blondes - can you send some of your exercising enthusiasm my way please? I just can't be arsed!!! Blush

Poohbearsmom · 22/08/2010 00:00

Now bebe I'm the only one around here allowed to say they can't be arsed, considering.... Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/08/2010 01:50

needless to say i havent had anything to eat since 1pm and strangly not starving

off to bed and hopefully tomorrow,well today will be a better day - onwards and upwards, what doesnt break you only makes you stronger

bebe, lo at your cant be arsed comment
pbm hope bum is better

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 22/08/2010 19:14

PBM Grin

bebe I hope the damage won't be too bad - if you have been really good the rest of the time it can be amazing what you can get away with if it's just one blow out!

Blondes hope you're ok. Obv. don't know the backstory but I hope everything's alright.

I've been ok-ish on the food front, trying to snack on healthy stuff rather than the nearest crisps/biscuits etc.

bebejones · 22/08/2010 19:56

PBM - lol :o How are you feeling?

Blondes - :( Hope you are ok, and that things are better today?

AliB - Hows the sickness? Hope it's easing a bit, probably best to steer clear of the biscuits if you have the PG munchies! :o

Have been a tiny bit bad this evening, but have been good the rest of the day & very busy! Just had some left over crumble & a piece of toast with hm apple preserve...well I had to try it out! Hmm :o

Hope everyone has had a good weekend?

Weigh in for me in the morning, fingers crossed for a loss.... Hmm

bebejones · 23/08/2010 07:51

Well done bebe that must feel fantastic :) Blondes il mail ya now but hope ur alright hun? Ali hope the sickness isn't too bad? Im lying in bed and the boys are spinning atm I read a gigantic book for them earlier ds1 loved it ds2 got bored but at least they are letting me take it easy.... My little sister got her college offers today and she's delighted she got what she really wanted but didn't let herself really dream she would get iykwim I'm so delighted for her and iv been looking up and organising stuff for her all morn, I know she can do It but I'm just so excited for her! Anyways have a happy healthy day girls xxx

RatherBeOnThePiste · 24/08/2010 10:19

Well done Bebe. You are AMAZING!!
PBM - sorry you are unwell again. Quite literally a pain in the arse.
Blondes - sorry things aren't good for you at the mo either. Hope it all improves vv v soon.

My bro and his family are here and are gorgeous. They have gone today for a couple of days to see friends in Brighton. It is so lovely having them here. We've done London touristy stuff - London Eye, boat trip, Buck Palace and soldiers, Harrods, tubes, red buses et. Etc. Legoland yesterday - The boys (DT6) are loving it all!

Food wise is a disaster for me as we are making sure they are having all the stuff they can't get in Japan. So we have done roast beef and yorkshires, DD Made a lovely apple crumble, spaghetti, curry, pizza, pancakes, croissants for breakfast. Lordy. A treat for them though. Stuff like that is v difficult to get in tokyo although there is a shop near the British embassy that sells some bits that have been imported but not much and chronically expensive

I forgot yesterday was Monday so didn't weigh in but please don't knock me off the list. I will catch up next Monday but I think I am doomed.

prettybird · 24/08/2010 15:03

Congratulations bebe - waht an achievement! :) You are an inspiration to us all!

RBOP - you may as well just enjoy all the nice Birtish food and worry about the weight afterwards. Maybe with the running around doing the touristy things with your db and his family you'll find you haven't put on as much as you thought! :)

PBM - sounds like you have been in the wars - hope you are recovering!

AB40N - good news about the heartbeat!

GT (I think it was): no, I haven't started running again, but I must. I also need to order that Bootcamp DVD. Pilates started again last night, so at least that's some exercise.

For those of you that asked about my mum, she is still not very happy in the home but seems more resigned. She has been home (ie to my dad's) a few times last week but spent most of the time going and lying down in the bedroom (but as dad puts it, maybe she is happier being miserable "at home" than in "at the home" Hmm).

Other news is that the day after we left for Iceland and two days after my dad went to SA, my db's twins arrived, 5 weeks early Shock Boy and girl doing well, each over 2kg and were home within a week and SIL is coping well with breastfeeding :)

Forgot to weigh myself yesterday but good news is that I was 12st 10lb this morning :) And that's without particularly trying this past week :):)
